A plus work from the team in the office to the crew that moved us . The communication was great, they showed up on time, and they worked super hard. Thanks Dapo, Josh and Tim!!! Highly recommend these guys, and it's our second time hiring then. Both experiences were excellent.
Very good service excellent A++
Throughout from the first phone call to the pick up of boxes-- they were efficient, courteous, friendly and fair. They came highly recommended by our realtor so we did not compare prices, but the final charge was certainly fair for the quality of service they provide. We recommend them without reservation.
Correira Brothers made my move absolutely amazing! Moving is always stressful to begin with, but the team made it a breeze. They got to my home on time, and loved everything very quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them to anyone who is moving.
Correira Brothers crew can for our help, they helped us move our furniture from my home to my Son's house. On time, explained all charges and papers to be signed. Extremely careful with the antique grandfather clock we had. I plan to move very soon and of course they will be my first choice.
Correira Brothers were on time. They called me 10 Minutes before they arrived. Their were 3 movers. They were very pleasant and worked very hard. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs to move.
Great service!! They took very good care in handling all of our furniture. They also arrived on time and couldn`t have been better. I would always recommend Correira Brothers Moving and Storage. I will use them again. Thanks
I have used Correira Brothers twice now for two different moves. They are prompt, professional, take direction well, and always have crews of genuinely nice people. They took extra care to wrap up any furniture I was nervous to see chipped or damaged. They are also reasonably priced and Candice, who works in the office, was very accomodating to my silly moving plan which included 4 stops to drop off/pick up different items. I couldn't recommend these guys more. Book them! You will be glad you did.
Costumer service was exelent, the crew very professional and trained.
Thank You, Wayne and I are very Happy. He had the chance to bring his Tool box home, After retiring 28 years. . He was impressed. How it was wrapped. The experience has him smiling. I, will consider using this company again. And passing the experience. When I can.
I cannot recommend these guys enough. I called last minute, and they were able to fit me in the next morning. Super nice guys, super courteous, and really fast. I could not have moved all our stuff without their help. Thanks Correira Brothers!
Great, on time, hard workers and reasonably priced!
I cannot begin to say how great these guys were! From the moment I called to schedule till the last piece of furniture was moved they were nothing but helpful and friendly. They worked quickly and carefully. We were given an estimate and came in way under. I will definitely use Correira Brothers again the next time I move!
When most other moving companies are closed, unavailable or take days to give you a quote, Correira is there for you! I called Correira the night before we found out we were moving and Ray was able to give me a quote, schedule movers and walked me through everything we needed. They kept in contact with us and updated us with arrival times. The 3 movers we had were amazing! It was a rainy day and they put extra blankets/ tarps down and kept everything clean and dry. All pieces were covered, wrapped and protected. They assembled furniture and beds and before they left they made sure we were happy with where everything was placed. We were very happy and impressed with how efficient and hard working they were. We can't thank them enough! I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needed movers!
We used the moving service with Corriera brothers to m short distance from MA to RI. I must say that this is the best moving experience we had. We have moved prior a couple of times prior to this but this was the most comfortable one. We did get an in-house estimate before moving which turned to quite accurate in the end. Ryan was very polite and professional. He was very patient and answered all our questions nicely. On the day of the move three men arrived around 10 AM which worked perfectly for us . Archie ,Jaylon and Ussumane. They greeted everyone nicely and started doing the job instantly. They were not slow nor very fast, worked at a nice pace . They are hard working men. They communicated well when needed. I was happily surprised when they cleared our garage by themselves. All the items reached in perfect condition and they placed everything where we asked for. It's a blessing if your movers are nice when you have little kids in the house. These are the movers that you feel happy and not obligated when you tip them. Thank you Correira brothers!
I really loved the experience of local moving with Correira Brothers, I got referred to these guys by somebody I know at work. They are local so I had easy time dealing with them. From the moment I contacted them and the actual move it took two phone calls of explaining the service we need, and the second call included details of 'when, where and how' this move will go. The move went smooth, we couldn't be more happy from the process, thank you so much!
Great company. Made our move a pleasant experience. Were professional and quick and were extremely careful with our furniture and personal belongings. Would not hesitate in using them again and referring them to others.
Great crew! Went the extra mile by doing everything we asked plus giving us suggestions on how to use our space. Definitely would use them again.
Great company. Best experience moving ever. Both the guys were very professional and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Correira Brothers and will definitely use them again. Thank you guys for all your help.
Flawless Services!
Correira Brothers did an amazing job! We had a pretty complicated move where various pieces of furniture had to be hoisted from a ground floor patio up to second floor balcony due to the fact that our home has a small spiral staircase. They showed up 10 minutes early and finished everything in less than 4 hours for a very reasonable price. I have already recommended them to several friends.
Excellent Work!
Correira Brothers helped me move and they were both friendly, professional, and fast! They arrived on time and moved all my things in less than an hour. Great experience and I would definitely use again!
Great Movers
We had a great experience with Correira Brothers! We had Archie, Mike, and Dwayne move us. They know what they are doing and are great guys! Despite a few glitches (my fault-make sure they have multiple contact numbers for you), they worked hard until the job was done. And the follow-up from the main office was also very professional. We would definitely recommend them!
Professional, friendly and quick.
Everyone we spoke to or met was helpful, patient and understanding. Would 100% recommend Correira Brothers' to anyone who needed to move. We had a one bedroom apartment with a lot of stuff, they moved our furniture and all our boxes and came in right at the estimate they provided us!
Thanks for a great move. The movers were outstanding, especially on a snowy morning.
Very rare to find such friendly & respectful service. Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. are a great team, they are true professionals & their expertise was much appreciated by me.
There is actually a moving company out there that shows up on time with a professional crew... it's called Correira Brother's Brother Moving & Storage. I setup an appointment two months in advance and per their agreement, they called a few days before my move and confirmed the date and time. On moving day, they showed up on time and wrapped and loaded all my furniture in a very professional and expeditious manner. I am 100% satisfied with the service I received and, if necessary will definitely use them again.
It was so cold the day I moved, but the 3 guys that moved me were great. They kept going and doing what I asked. They were very mindful that I was on a budget and kept communications open so that I could decide if we would go another hour! They were careful with all of my things, especially my items that meant the world to me but were not worth a lot money. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat.
They made moving from our small one bedroom apartment to our two bedroom house seamlessly. It was a good experience. They helped destress the stressful process of moving.
These guys were great. Even with a last minute, unexpected and out-of-their-control delay, they still got my things loaded and delivered with efficiency and friendliness. And they found the middle-of-nowhere Vermont address with no problem. The initial quote was accurate, all items arrived safely, and my move was so much easier thanks to Raymond and his crew!
The job and pricing was just as discussed, no surprises, and the gentlemen that came to do the work were professional and polite and my wife felt very comfortable with their work and desire to make sure things were done as needed. i will not hesitate to use Correira Brothers again.
Couldn't have asked for more. Showed up on time, worked efficiently and with good humor.
Awesome job!
Absolutely awesome. The whole crew was excellent! Moved me in to my home in the 3 hour window they quoted. Movers were amazing!
These movers do an excellent job! They were meticulous about wrapping delicate pieces in plastic and were very careful in moving everything. I had the interior of the house I was moving into completely repainted and the painter was astounded that there were no "dings". The other contractor working on my house asked me for the company's name as he was also very impressed with their work. The guys were so polite and respectful. I highly recommend them!
Very reliable and friendly! Would work with them again.
Very happy with them/ they ensured that nothing fell out of place while taking uhaul from one place to another. Came with us through the move and ensured everything was moved out. Great attitude. Would highly recommend them.
Efficient and professional. Two thumbs up.
Mike Sr. and Mike Jr from Correira Brothers are aces in my book. They were on time, going as far as calling and letting me know how long it would be before they would be on site. They came prepared with tools to help take apart furniture, and showed their expertise in doing so. Easily dismantling couches, desks and tables to make the transportation of these items easier. They made use of moving straps and other items that make the difference between a prepared crew and a crew that just shows up for labor. They carefully moved and packed each item in to the truck, fully utilizing the moving blankets to protect items. They quickly made an assessment of all my items and determined what the best way to pack it all in would be. Once they had made that determination, it was a blur of activity at my home. Mike Jr was constantly moving items from the apartment to the truck, where Mike Sr was masterfully working a jig saw puzzle to fit each piece safely and securely into the truck. Gentlemen, Well done! Thanks!
They we're on time and very cautious with packing and unloading. I will be using them again.
Professional Service
Movers arrived on time and worked with the utmost professionalism. They wrapped, packed and loaded my long haul truck in a timely manner. When necessary, I will definitely use Correira Brothers' Moving.
I've already referred you to my friends!
Very well organized and efficient movers. Workers were polite and courteous. Thank you!!!
The helpers we hired did not show and the Correira Brothers took on the job and got to our site as soon as they received the address, literally within hours on the same day. They really saved us as we had the rental truck and were waiting around. Roc and Adrianne were fantastic. They were prepared, worked super hard, very friendly and upbeat and made the move a pleasant experience. Would use these guys again in a heartbeat and recommend them to everyone!
The best movers ever! This crew was so professional and calm. They shrink wrapped all of my furniture and used pads! They were very responsive to any wish I had and didn't forget either! Best movers A+. The price was exceptional!!! Thank you so much!
Professional, Courteous, Meticulous and Skilled!
I called Corriera Brothers' Moving & Storage to help me with what I thought would be a simple move...a queen sleep sofa from a second floor bedroom to a first floor bedroom. I was quoted a very reasonable price and the two gentlemen who came to do the job, Archie and Jay, were great! The sofa and narrow hallway presented a number of challenges, but these guys got it done...all the time taking extreme care not to damage the piece or the interior of my home. I would gladly refer this business to anyone needing the services of a professional moving company! Job well done my friends...THANK YOU!!!!
Very reliable! They didn't damage any of my furniture or property, great fast service!!! The best part is the receptionist, very friendly and hospitable! I love it! She was very kind and sweet
Thanks! They helped me out of a tight spot with next day service!
Nothing but positive. Punctual, efficient, took special care. Great work and experience. Highly recommend to anyone!
I can not tell you how awesome these guys are . So short of a notice and they still packed unpacked and moved and set up everything! Can't ask for better! Thank you guys
The young lady I spoke to was so pleasant! What a difference it makes to your day when you get someone on the phone who really values your needs.
This company is prompt time wise and efficient also very polite which is very important during the pains of moving. They eased our move effortlessly within only hours. To them we say thank you ! I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs their services.
They were doing the job very professionally. Not a singe item was misplaced from the truck after we drove the loaded truck for 70 miles. Not a single scratch or break. They used furniture padding on all the furnitures. We asked for 2 helpers, they took about 3.5 hours to load and unload our 2 bed room apartment stuff into truck. Steady very clean job. I'm giving them 4 stars only because it took an hour extra than what I expected. I would recommend them
The guys showed up on time, worked hard and got my 16' trucknloaded in 2 hours flat. I will definitely use them for my next move and recommend them to anyone.
These guys do a great job. I hired them for their cleaning service. I needed to clean a 3 bedroom home, when my sister passed away I was left responsible for getting the house ready to get on the market. Two cleaners arrived on time, one gentleman and one woman, with smiles on their faces. All I had to do was let them in, show them around and then i went about my day. 3 and 1/2 hours later It looked and smelled amazing, when they were done it was ready to show and I know I'll have no problem selling now. Oh yeah and the pricing was better than any other cleaning company I could find in the area too! Thank you correira bros
Our recent move was the first time we used professional movers and Correira Brothers were great. They followed up and confirmed details when they said they would, kept us updated on their arrival time, and were professional and courteous throughout the entire two day process. We had more to move than anticipated and the crew had a positive, "can do" attitude throughout the move. They were respectful of our belongings and paid good attention to box labels. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!
Correira Brothers is a business that I will never forget and the only one that I will use again for my next move. Several words come to mind that best describes Correira Brothers. Professional, Politeness, Punctual, and MIND BLOWING!!! How they turned a last minute move into a positive experience is beyond me but they did it. Ray and his two workers were extremely organized. Maurice and Jay couldn't have been more conscientious and hard working. I didn't have to do a thing. It was all done for me. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Your number is saved, along with the names of your workers in my phone book and added to my contacts. In the meantime I will continue to brag and recommend you to everyone I know!! Thank you! 👍
I can't recommend Correira Bros. moving highly enough. They agreed with short notice to help my family unload our moving truck after a long trip from Montana to Rhode Island. They arrived on time, took extra care with our things, and did it all for a fair, upfront price. On top of all that they were both extremely professional and personable. Correira Bros. is exactly what you want in a moving company, and, now, after renting for a year, we're going to hire them again to help us move into our new home.
Following a recent divorce, I needed to go thru the remaining contents of a storage unit my wife and I had. Working long hours, being disabled, and not having any lighting in the storage unit, I realized that bringing the items from the storage unit to my apartment was the best solution for sorting out what I wanted to keep. I was reffered to Correira Bros Professional Moving and called them to arrange the job. I spoke with Ray, and was very impressed with his professionalism. He called me twice after making the initial arrangements to insure that nothing had changed. This impressed me. We were to meet at the storage facility at 9:30. Ray and his man were there on time and were very polite. My ex-wife had left a number of empty boxes and some trash in the unit as well. Ray and his helper quickly sorted the empty boxes and trash from what I wanted to make the trip to my apartment. They quickly loaded the truck with no fuss. Then they surprised me and swept the floor of the storage unit and took the trash to the dumpster. They did this without my asking them to. When we got to my apartment, I showed them where I wanted the items to be placed. I opened the patio door for them to have easy access to the apartment. This is when they surprised me again. Without being told or asked, On each trip from the truck, they each paused before entering the apartment to wipe their feet on a mat. I have another move coming up and I will certainly be calling them again.
Scheduling took a little time but Ray was prompt and called back and stayed in touch via his cell phone to make sure things were going well.
Heavy studio equipment
Im so glad i contacted Correira Brothers' Moving & Storage. As a music producer i have a lot of heavy equipment thats need to be moved around from to time. Correira Brothers' Moving & Storage had all my equipment delivered to my new apartment damage free. This is a great moving company with a great price.
I was in a bind and my movers didn't show. I called correia movers and the set me right up on a Sunday with 3 awesome movers,Mike, Marcus, and Andre. They were a great team and were very careful and compassionate regarding my situation . Thanks a bunch guys!
The team that came was on time and did an excellent job! Moved me out of my apartment in an hour. They were very friendly and courteous. Thank you to the Correira Bros Team for making my move so easy!
After calling 6 other moving companies late on a Saturday--These guys were the only ones who even attempted to accommodate my schedule. They were quick, personable, and true professionals. I would definitely recommend Correira Bros again. Thanks Guys!
They were done before the 3 hour limit! I am going to try to get them again when I need to have them unload and I would recommend this company to my friends and family!
Professionals all the way! Went above and beyond what we asked for!!!! Very hot day-no complaints!!!! Very reasonable price!!!
They were very professional and gave a list of information as well.
Excellent service. Job was done timely and professionally.
They were careful and courteous. They were prompt and did a good job.
We are extremely pleased with Correira Brothers'. I'm truly impressed. It was difficult to get my furniture into my new space and the guys made sure they found a way without damaging my furniture. Special thanks to Michael and Archie for a Job Well Done!!!!!
@correirabros has great customer service. They asked all the right questions. What i need to move. What to be really careful with. Best price hands down. If you need to move @correirabros is the one to call
The best movers. Ever they where on time and so nice. I definitely recommend them to everyone. Use them all the time. I am the next time I move. I never have Ben more happier with a bunnies. Thanks guys for everything.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Correira Brothers Moving! We were given extremely short notice to move and couldn't find anyone that wasn't already booked or wanted too much money for such short notice. Someone suggested Ray Correia to my husband. We called, and explained our situation to him. His pricing was extremely fair compared to other quotes we had received and he assured us he would be there at 9am the following morning.....and he was! Our move went smoothly, and it was done with the utmost professionalism! What I appreciated most was that our stuff was treated like his stuff! He honestly seemed to want to go above and beyond to help us out and I would not hesitate to call again in the future! Thank you so much for everything!!
They were super! The owner/Mgr called a customer to bump them up & asked if they had flexibility to fit me in. I was pressed for time! The two workers they sent were prompt, courteous, professional and they did an awesome job! Archie & Son ROCK!! We were done in under the 3 hour mark! I recommend them to anyone moving! Great company!!!! �����
If you're ever looking for a professional moving company that you can trust with your furniture this is the place. I had another company scheduled to move my 3 bedroom home and they bailed on me halfway thru the process (very long story) anyways.. I called the first moving company on google and I'm glad I did. They helped with our move THE SAME DAY. They arrived not even 2 hours after I had made the call and the helpers were absolutely amazing and so professional. We moved to the 3rd floor, had to hoist some pieces of furniture thru the window and not a single dent or scratch on any piece of furniture. Please everybody, if you need help with moving I highly recommend them. Moving is already a stressful situation but having a company that can put you at ease during the process will make your life so much easier. Thank you so much you guys, I can't thank you enough for how much weight was lifted off my shoulders. You were my angels!!!!! I'd give 10 stars if I could
They were on time! Cautious about moving items .... they also had the best knowledge and suggestions on how to move the items. I was in a difficult situation and under time restrictions and they came through for me!! Very grateful and very happy.
We have used several services during our move from Texas and these guys were by far the best group we hired! I really appreciated their reach out to us prior to the start of service. They took the time to understand what we needed and communicated it to the team. The team showed up ready to work and didn't stop until we were finished. We actually finished earlier than expected! We will be using them again when we move to our new home.
The guys were great. Thanks for help on such short notice!
It went terrific. The team sent (Archie, Mike and Jay) were very courteous, professional, careful of every piece of furniture moved, and worked hard for 12.5 hours straight to get the move accomplished. They disassembled heavy furniture, beds and tables and reassembled them perfectly in our new home and placed every one in the location we requested. I could not be happier with the move. I would definitely recommend Correira Bros. to anyone and recommend you ask for the 'Archie, Mike and Jay' team.
I'm a shop owner in Portsmouth, we use Correira Brothers a couple times every month to do our local deliveries. I wouldn't use another company. I've needed help the next day and even the same day.. and Correira Bros has never let me down! The movers are very careful and always in a good mood so my clients are happy. Thanks again Archie, Jay and Mike!
Correira & crew came through in a major way! I googled movers on Saturday afternoon after realizing I was in a desperate situation. I got Raymond Correira on the phone (1st try, goes right to his cell). Less than 24 hours later (ON A SUNDAY) 3 men and a truck arrived ready for action! They had all the materials and positive attitudes to get 'er done - disassembling pieces and cleaning clutter- dealing with a situation that seemed impossible. I was wow'ed and what was more surprising was my toughest-of-customers brother was one satisfied customer. The cost was very reasonable and the customer service was kind & courtesy.
The movers I originally booked with never showed up... I called Correira Bros and Ray sent us 3 of the most careful movers.. They were there about an hour after I called, talk about SAME DAY SERVICE! I'm so happy we got moved on schedule. They completely made me forget all about the stress from the other movers... I know who I'm calling first next time!
hard working no nonsense movers
My wife and I had to move our home and ministry, The Good News Today, to a new location. After a quick Google search turned up a multitude of movers in the area we became even more confused. Reading reviews didn't help narrow down the choice much either since most of the folks who took the time to write a review were complimentary on most every website. We chose Correira Brothers because their prices seemed fair and the gentlemen we initially spoke with was knowledgeable and friendly. I have to say we made the right choice. Archie and his son were an example of what made our country great in the first place. Watching the two of them work side by side reminded us that there is still hope for our country even though the media wold have you believe otherwise. Our move was not an easy one, we had more things to move than we had space but somehow they found a way to pack nearly everything into our container in a short amount of time without dropping or breaking anything. If you are uncertain about who to choose when looking for a mover you can't go wrong with Correira brothers. These folks know the meaning of hard work and don't shy away from it.
We had to move the Lorimer Studios workshop. Great moving company Correria Brothers provided six excellent guys and three trucks. Who knew we had so much stuff!!!!!
Archie and Jay were my movers. They're a great team.. efficient, high quality, professional and personable. Would highly recommend.
Professional and Friendly
The guys were fantastic! They arrived on time and worked so hard. They had a great attitude and helped us any way they could. It made a stressful day a lot easier.
my wife said your guys were very courteous and professional. great job. thanks you
The Fall River Office of Economic Development had to move out of the sixth floor of the Government Center after 39 years. Correira Bros sent us a team of 4 men and 2 trucks. They were reasonably priced, efficient and courteous. Our move went very well. No damage :)
Above and beyond accommodating
I booked with Correira Bros about a month in advance based on tentative closing dates, so when I signed up for weekend classes I hadn't considered the fact that I would not be there to orchestrate the move. I spoke with Ray on the phone the morning of, we established a game plan and then I went to class. Everything was taken care of in my absence, all I had left to do when I got home was unpack and organize. I even received a follow up phone call that evening to make sure I was happy with the services provided. I would highly recommend Correira Bros.
Clearly explained charges and possible complications. No B.S.
Excellent service! We move from Portsmouth,ri to Swansea,ma and they did a great job. They did everything on a professional level.
The Correira Brother's team made our move so quick and simple! The crew was so personable and informative through the entire process. They handled every box and piece of furniture as if it was their own. Correira Brother's will absolutely be my first choice for any future moving needs!
I'm in the Navy stationed in Newport, RI for one year, Correira Bros moved our family's 4 bedroom home with piano.. and all I have to say is when it comes time to move again next year I want the same crew I had this time. Archie, Jay and Jamie thanks again guys
The Correira Bros. were on time, prepared, fast, and worked extremely hard during the moving process. I appreciated their respectful nature of myself and the furniture/property. I would use this professional service again.
Sincere service. Definitely recommended.
Correira Bros. stepped in on very short notice when my other movers failed to show up. The company had to do some juggling, but they got the job done. They packed the truck neatly and in a space-efficient way that kept the load from shifting and prevented damage while allowing us to make the best use of space. I'd definitely use them again.
Ray and his partner were PHENOMENAL. In the middle of a heatwave, not thinking, I'd already moved my fans and A/C's to my new home & still had a few things I needed help with. On paper it seemed like an easy job- but once they showed up and we started taking measurements, it was clear that I wasn't prepared to disassemble an elliptical in order to get it out of the house. They calmed me down, and were prepared with all the tools necessary. At no point did they complain, or seem frustrated. They were both over the top professional & were determined to help me get my move complete. I would 100% recommend, hire, and sing their praises again and again. Thank you guys so much!!
Efficent. Afforadable. Trustworthy. I honestly have nothing bad to say about Correira Brothers. The drivers, Archie and Mike, were two of the most professional and personable men I have ever worked with. They were in and out in what felt like no time. The main thing they moved was this giant, ancient, and delicate breakfront we have (with bode glass mind you. They don't make that any more) and they did it with ease and not a scratch on it. That right there was worth the money I spent on them. Up three floors to boot! I would definitely recommend them to any of our friends and to anyone who is reading this.
Handled my furniture like they were moving a museum. Excellent care on every level.
Wow you're awesome!! Thanks so much!!! So excited to get to play my new piano! Thank you thank you !
I had a great moving experience with Correira brothers. I booked two hours of time and wasn't sure we'd be able to fit everything in one trip. They showed up on time and rapidly got everything into the truck and over to my new apartment, and even made time at the end to help me unload my own car! They were friendly and respectful and I'd definitely recommend them.
High Quality Customer Service
The reservation lady Diana is very thorough and sweet :)
You guys were great with letting me know the cost and how it would all work. Response time was just as impressive. Thank you for making our move less of a headache.
Correira brothers hands down best movers I know of in the Aquidneck Island area.
These guys are great! Highly recommend them to anyone.. Thanks to Archie and Maurice

The Manager
City Centre,
Fantastic news people living in Chelmsford. To mark this year's Diamond Jubilee, Her Majesty's Cabinet Office has declared that as of 14 March 2012, Chelmsford is a City!
The county town of Essex, has much to offer the visitor; with an abundance of things to see and do locally, it also provides an ideal base from which to explore. Situated in the heart of Essex, Chelmsford is only 35 minutes from central London by train or a 30-minute drive from Stansted.
A pedestrianised High Street links High Chelmer and The Meadows, the two main undercover shopping areas, to create one of the best shopping centres in Essex. Add to this the international restaurants, cafes, wine bars and pubs (some with live music), and the appeal of Chelmsford is obvious. Situated in the heart of the town centre is the country's historic 15th century Cathedral.
In its history Chelmsford has played host to a number of famous figures; Charles Dickens, the Duke of Wellington, Oliver Goldsmith and Guglielmo Marconi all feature and are commemorated around the town on 'Blue Plaques'. Hylands House is a beautiful Grade II* listed neo-classical villa, set in over 500 acres of Hylands Park. Inside rooms restored to their appearance during the Georgian and early Victorian periods may be viewed. A full programme of events takes place in the House and adjacent Pleasure Gardens. Hylands Park is the perfect backdrop for the renowned 'V' concerts that have provided the best of contemporary rock and pop music live over one weekend in August each year since 1996. Chelmsford also hosts many other exciting events during the year including ESSEXstreetdiversions - a free festival of international street theatre, The 3foot People Festival - days of wonder for pre-school children and the Fling - A festival of assorted amusements for adults. Click here for more information on other Chelmsford events.

text: 2012 Toyota Tundra Jan 2, 2012 9:59:41 GMT -8 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by CALL OR TEXT 778-712-3135 on Jan 2, 2012 9:59:41 GMT -8 2012 Toyota TundraIt seems like a very long time ago that Toyota introduced the Texas-made Tundra with the expectation that it would finally end American automakers' hegemony in the large-truck segment. Five years later, the Tundra struggles--and fails--to muster a sixth of the Ford F-series' sales volume. At the same time, Toyota has shifted much of its attention back to its cars, meaning the Tundra hasn't received as many updates as have its competitors. Still, the Tundra is a solid pickup truck. There are three engines, three body styles, two bed lengths, and a veritable laundry list of options. Things start off strong, with a base 4.0-liter V-6 that puts out 270 hp and a good midlevel option with the 310-hp, 4.6-liter V-8. Still, we'd say the 381-hp, 5.7-liter V-8 with variable valve timing best suits the Tundra's mission, especially if you'll be towing heavy loads; its maximum towing capacity is 10,400 pounds when properly equipped. Both V-8 engines team with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Tundra's only real shortcoming--aside from the fact that it's simply not exceptional enough to tear people from their Fords, Chevrolets, and Rams--is its ride quality. With an empty bed, it shudders and bounces more than its rivals. Its interior was truly exemplary when it debuted in 2007 and remains quite nice but, again, has fallen behind its American competition.www.automobilemag.com/capsule_review/toyota/tundra/2012/capsule_review_2012_toyota_tundra

Mystery Jets – 'Young Love' (Sixsevenine)
Proving there's nothing quite like firing your dad* for raising spirits and getting the creative juices flowing, there's suddenly a spring in the step of Eel Pie Island prog heirs Mystery Jets their contemporaries can't get near.
The first single to be lifted from Erol Alkan-produced second album Twenty One, 'Young Love' is a quietly exultant pop platter like Trevor Horn producing The Temptations, abetted by an unprecedented lead vocal from guitarist William Rees and the cool, unhurried presence of one Laura Marling.
A fair indicator of still-more shameless pop delights to come on the full length, it's also worth noting how lucid and intuitively reached-for the new approach sounds, the band tapping into their inner '80s diva in less convoluted fashion than Patrick Wolf and coming up roses while seemingly nobody was looking. Marvellous.
* = Henry Harrison remains a Mystery Jets member in every aspect apart from live performance

The Futureheads – 'The Beginning Of The Twist' (Nul)
For all their commendable defiance it's heartening to know The Futureheads weren't above a bit of self-criticism following the bitter disappointment of being dropped by 679 in the wake of a sluggishly-received second album.
That record, while by no means an artistic failure, lacked the pop nous of its predecessor, but their comeback This Is Not The World looks set to erase all that with a salty slew of seaworthy tunes worth going overboard for.
As a flying fuck-you to its detractors 'The Beginning Of the Twist' sounds in danger of labouring its point a little, substituting the subtle experimentalism of their finest work for bludgeoning anthemics, but it still packs the necessary clout to remind us that, when it comes to this kind of thing, The Futureheads are almost without peer.
Foals - 'Cassius' (Transgressive)
Not so much lacking a third dimension as expertly making the case for its redundancy, 'Cassius' remains one of Foals' most finely-meshed patchworks to date, its spindly adolescent frame lent sinister heft by Antibalas' blaring brass.
Elbow – 'Grounds For Divorce' (Fiction)
Back after a lengthy hiatus following 2005's 'bit-meh' Leaders Of The Free World LP, darkly poetic everymen Elbow are back with 'Grounds For Divorce', which starts out as a deep south spiritual the likes of which once made up the bread and butter of Moby's career, before quickly morphing into a shock 'n' soul epic as guitarist Mark Potter busts out a riff that's heavier than lead soup and Guy Garvey struggles to come to terms with the loss of close friend and musician Bryan Glancy. Heady stuff, if somehow unappetising.
Johnny Foreigner – 'Our Bipolar Friends' (Best Before Records)
Combining widdly post-hardcore with a twittering anthemic sensibility, 'Our Bipolar Friends' is a brisk-borderline-batshit-insane assault that sounds a little like Bloc Party if they stopped screwing their faces up and going 'yes, but what does it all mean?' As bewildering as a fruit machine, in their own special way.
Neon Neon – 'I Lust U' (Lex Records)
No, it's not Prince fostering a sudden enthusiasm for the improper use of grammar, it's Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys moonlighting with LA production whiz Boom Bip in a surprisingly vacant parody of Kraftwerk's wipe-clean metapop stylings. Sheeny and dull.
Maman Est Morte ft Harriet Tricoteur – 'Wake Up' (Land Speed Records)
Featuring a guest vocal from Harriet Tricoteur that doesn't so much nod towards PJ Harvey as thrust a fawning head clean off its stalk in her direction, little is known about this morbid duo (their name means 'mother is dead') purporting to hail from "one of the UK's least interesting mini-cities. Just as well, really, since this bit of sub-Duke Spirit, doom-tinged nonsense never really leaves the mortician's board.
Poney Poney – 'Cross The Fader EP' (Perspex)
A four track EP comprising one original song the way nature intended plus three tracks remixed by Headman, Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya (nope, us either) and Chateau Marmont, 'Cross The Fader' is Parisian pop produced by Justice frontman Xavier de Rosnay and dissolves on contact with the ear like chewing gum sheets. The band faffs around with all manner of Devo-style sonic frippery but in the end fail to disguise their beating heart of mediocrity.
British Sea Power – 'No Lucifer' (Rough Trade)
Nothing less than the fate of mankind hangs in the balance of BSP's new single, a sublime meditation on the power of men to good and evil that sees Hamilton play the glassy-eyed mystic as well as anywhere else on Do You Like Rock Music. Even the backing vocals are perched uncomfortably between terrace chant and SS rallying cry, which somehow sums it all up brilliantly: 'No Lucifer' is really dangerously good.
The Old Romantic Killer Band – 'You Don't Know How To Love'
They've been described as sounding like Son House, which makes me want to weep raging torrents of actual blood, but this dire Leeds two-piece's effort more accurately sounds like Free's 'All Right Now' being sung over an absolute abortion of a blues riff, by a preening halfwit. Sorry guys.

The Muppets are certainly no Lady Gaga, but they have joined her as one of Google's celebrity endorsements -- but this time the Muppets are touting the pleasures of Google+, namely its Hangouts, in a national commercial.
It's not the first time for the Muppets and Hangouts. They had a live Hangout on Google+ last month, notably to promote their film, "The Muppets" and launch their brand on the social network. The commercial features several muppets (such as Kermit, the Swedish Chef, Animal and Miss Piggy) doing a jam session to Queen's "Under Pressure" on Google Hangouts.
The choice of the Muppets for the commercial is on two different levels: one for younger viewers, but also their parents (and now grandparents) who grew up with Sesame Street and the Muppets. Why else use Queen's "Under Pressure," a song from 1981?
U.S. & World
But will the Muppets attract new users to Google+? Last month we wrote about how the fledgling social network has conflicting reports on its user numbers, and that at least an account by the Los Angeles Times called it a failure. With this new campaign, added to other eclectic icons on Google+ such as Britney Spears and the Dalai Lama, how could it not attract new users? Google's ad campaigns now seem to have a celebrity for everyone.

Decanting 101
Senior Food Editor Julia Rutland decodes the mystery behind decanting and shares her tips for getting the best flavor.
Decanting a wine simply means pouring it from the bottle into a carafe or other vessel. This is done to aerate the wine and remove sediment. Young, full bodied red wines "open up" during decanting, releasing their aromas on contact with oxygen. Look for decanters that have broad bottoms, designed to maximize the wine's surface area and air exposure. Large, balloon-shaped wine glasses also aerate wine, as does swirling the glass. Decant recently bottled wines at least 30 minutes before drinking, or ask the expert at the wine shop if the bottle you are buying needs decanting because each vintage is different.
Older (10 years plus) or unfiltered wines often benefit from decanting to remove sediment. First, stand the bottle upright to allow sediment to fall, then pour slowly into the decanter, stopping when sediment approaches the bottle top. (If the bottle glass is dark, aim a flashlight at the neck.) Aged wines can often be decanted immediately before pouring into glasses, and don't benefit from additional aeration because too much will cause older wines to taste flat.

- President Obama addresses graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy
- Assaults threaten public trust in the military%2C Obama says
President Obama urged a new generation of military leaders Friday to address the problem of sexual assault within their ranks.
"Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong," Obama said during commencement services at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Obama added that "we have to be determined to stop these crimes because they've got no place in the greatest military on Earth."
Earlier this month, the Pentagon released a report saying that as many as 26,000 servicemembers may have been sexually assaulted in 2012 -- up from about 19,000 the year before.
Obama has ordered the Pentagon to address the problem, as Congress ponders possible changes to the code of military justice.
In his commencement address, Obama told the Navy graduates that the military remains "the most trusted institution in America," but that could change if the sexual assault problem is not addressed.
Speaking on a rainy day at the academy's football stadium, Obama praised the graduates for their commitment to the nation's future.
"You've met the mission of this academy," Obama said. "You've met every test before you."
Upholding honor is important in a country when so many institutions are being questioned, Obama said, telling the graduates that many of them will be leaders in both military and civilian life.
"You will lead this country," he said. "And if we want to restore the trust that the American people deserve to have in their institutions, all of us have to do our part. And those of us in leadership, myself included, have to constantly strive to remain worthy of the public trust."
Presidents address one of the military academies every year at graduation time; this was Obama's second time at Navy.
Obama also followed another commencement tradition, absolving the Midshipmen who had been placed on restrictions for minor conduct offenses.
"As always, Admiral Miller gets to decide what's minor," Obama said. adding with a chuckle. "Some of these guys are laughing a little nervously about that."

I'm sure you have been tricked to show up at a car dealership after reading some of the junk mail they regularly send. Flyers, incentives and marketing materials are common. Some include scratches or gimmicks of all kinds such as prize opportunities and ruffles. Maybe you will trash all their mail after you read this, or maybe the story below is not an example but an exemption.
On the week of November, 14th 2011, Toyota Central sent a notification for what they called a Used Car Red Tag Sales Event with a prize incentive to attend from Friday to Sunday, November 18th to 20th. Most of the time I don't even open these type of mail but this time I did. The flyer said that EVERYONE WINS A PRIZE! And the small print said: "Odds for winner of prizes are: 50" Flat Screen TV 1 in 15,000; Xoom Tablet 1 in 1,500; Target Gift Card valued at $300 1 in 15,000; Target Gift Card valued at $10 14,997 in 15,000."

Soldier's WW II Letters to Wife Find Son 69 Years Later
When Chuck Kunellis opened his mailbox last week, he found a handwritten letter postmarked from Australia.
Kunellis, 71, of Fair Oaks, was puzzled. He had visited Australia, but didn't remember meeting the letter writer, John Armstrong.
But when Kunellis opened the letter, his puzzlement changed to astonishment. Armstrong, a stamp collector, had sent Kunellis a scanned image of an envelope that was addressed in his own father's distinctive handwriting.
"Whoa!" Kunellis said, recalling his reaction in an interview with ABCNews.com.
Armstrong explained in his letter that that he was in possession of two letters from Chris Kunellis, who had been serving in the Army in Italy during World War II.
"He said that he had purchased a bundle of letters from a dealer and he came across this and thought it might be something that its recipient would like to have …," Kunellis said. The letters had been addressed to his mother, Phyllis.
Armstrong provided Kunellis an email address.
"I immediately emailed him back said 'Yes, I'm the right one. I would like very much to have those letters,' and within, like, three or four days I had them," Kunellis said.
From his post in Italy, Chris Kunellis had written the letters to his wife in June and July 1944. The letters were postmarked, but never made it to her. Instead, they somehow found their way to an American stamp dealer, who sold them to Armstrong.
Kunellis said he experienced "an element of shock" when he saw the letters.
"I felt almost like a child again," he said.
Kunellis' father, whom he never thought of as being a romantic, started the July letter with the tender opening, "My most beloved darling."
Chris Kunellis went on to tell his wife that he'd received her airmail, and mentioned his sister and brother. The second letter was more of the same catching up with his family, Chuck Kunellis said.
Chuck Kunellis was born on Dec. 10, 1941, three days after Japan attacked the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. His father was placed on alert just days later, and went off to war. Chris Kunellis wouldn't see his wife and son again until 1946.
Chuck Kunellis' parents, who have both died, never mentioned the two letters. Since his father wrote frequently, a few undelivered letters may not have been missed, Kunellis explained.
In an interview with ABC News affiliate KXTV in Sacramento, Armstrong explained that he sent the letters to Chuck Kunellis "because that's where they belong."
Armstrong collects World War II postal memorabilia from Italy. He says lots of letters were not delivered during the war.
"It was quite chaotic. The fact that any man got any mail was quite astonishing," he told KXTV.
Armstrong is also building a postal exhibit focusing on the stories behind the stamps, and he's trying to find soldier's war records to tell whether they survived the war.
"I've been a historian all my life. It's the stories that get to me," he said. "An envelope on my desk doesn't have a story until I start looking at it. If I can finish the story by sending it to the person who it relates to, that's great."

"Chicken" Breasts and Zucchini Pappardelle with Dijon Tarragon Sauce
I'm not one to really focus on my physical appearance. I usually just throw on jeans and a t-shirt every day, and accept the fact that I'm short and a little on the scrawny side. And to say the very least, my bosom isn't exactly what I'd call "ample"...or so I thought. All of sudden, at 24, my boobs have started to grow. This radical phenomenon is AWESOME. It's a pleasant surprise to myself and my wifey. I'd given up hope long ago. My mother and little sister, to say it nicely, have gigantic tits. At 16, I'd look at all the other women in my family and wonder what the fuck happened to me. How did I lose the genetic lottery? Well, not anymore! I can now happily stop shopping in the little girls training bra section at Target and move over to the ladies department.
Ok. So I don't really wear little girl bras. I was just going for flare.
Anyway, I've been working on some really exciting recipes lately. I'll be debuting a few of them on the bloggy blog over the next few months, but I'm going to slow down posting for a while to focus on planning my super amazing wedding. Speaking of all things lesbian, I'd appreciate it if y'all voted for my blog in the Lesbian Lifestyle Blog Awards in the Humor category. While the primary focus of this site isn't to just highlight how incredibly gay I am, I do feel like it has a running chance to compete for all things funny in lesbo land. There's a lovely little link in the upper part of the left sidebar. If you vote for me, I'll love you even more than I my bride to be. Just don't tell my fiance I said that ;)
Well, that's enough rambling. I'm going to head off to Target and enjoy purchasing myself a new B cup bra that I can parade around in proudly. I may not even wear a shirt for the next few days.
For the "Chicken" and Zucchini Pappardelle
- 2 lbs Zucchini
- 3 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 batch of Vegan Chicken Breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1-2 TBSP Olive Oil
- 2 TBSP Dry White Wine
- Salt and Pepper, for seasoning "Chicken"
Using a mandolin, vegetable slicer or sturdy hand and knife, slice the zucchini into 1/8 inch thick slices, place into a large bowl, then set aside.
Season the vegan chicken pieces well with salt and pepper, then heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic to the pan, and saute for 30 seconds. Add the "chicken" pieces to the pan and saute until golden brown on both sides.
Once browned, add the white wine to the skillet to de-glaze, then pour the contents of the skillet over top of the zucchini pappardelle and toss well to combine.
For the Dijon Tarragon Sauce
- 3 1/2 cups No Chicken Broth
- 4 TBSP Vegan Margarine
- 4 TBSP Flour
- 2 TBSP Dijon Mustard
- 2 TBSP Fresh Tarragon, chopped
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Melt the vegan margarine in a saucepan over medium high heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for two minutes while whisking constantly. Slowly pour the No Chicken Broth into the pan, whisking as you pour, until the contents of the pan are fully combined.
Bring the contents of the pan to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has begun to thicken. Stir in the Dijon mustard and fresh tarragon, then allow the sauce to simmer for 5-10 minutes until further thickened, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss with "Chicken" and Zucchini Pappardelle.

Pursuing Blizzard
[edit – SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THIS ARE IN ERROR. CORRECTION POST IN PROGRESS. FAST SUMMARY – VIVENDI NO LONGER HAS SOLE OWNERSHIP OF BLIZZARD.]
One of the frustrations of dealing with Blizzard is realizing that they're, well, probably too big. Big enough that it takes a big club to make them pay attention. A constant complaint – MY constant complaint – is how hard it is to get hold of someone who can and actually will do something. I thought I'd take the opportunity today to walk through what I know – not least, to help some folk realize some of their threats are rather misguided — a cause, if you will, for ridicule from the very folk they're trying to threaten.
Blizzard Entertainment is based in Irvine, California. There is one normally given phone number – 1-800-592-5499 – which leads to the Billing and Account Management desk. Allow me to point out right here that if you're banned, that's account management. Yes, the reason may be technical, but this is the "office that decides". If you try to get tech support involved, they'd have to go to this office anyway — you've actually shortened the chain. I also want to note that they've changed their hours (somewhat) since the last time I looked. Still not 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week, unfortunately. But 8 am to 8 pm California time. (That's Pacific Standard or Pacific Daylight, as appropriate.) 11 to 11 on the East Coast of the US, and notionally, that's GMT-8 (-7 for GMT). In Paris that's 5 pm to 5 am. ummm, I didn't pick Paris at random, but I'll get there in a bit. Let's stay in California for now.
Specifically, let's give some other numbers, and then tell you why you'll be wasting your time. 800-953-7669 Robo-answer for sales and support. 949-955-1382 is the same result. Theoretically if you stymie the system it'll eventually dump you into the hands of a real person. The instant you say "account banned", you're going to be kicked over to account services, and probably into the auto-answer system again.
OK, so what if you REALLY want to go over someone's head? In this case you can. Let me say up front this is a good part of the problem, not the solution, and it's probably not going to do you a lot of good. Thing is, Blizzard isn't a stand-alone company. It's owned by Vivendi Games, which in turn is owned by Vivendi. While both VG and V have US offices, they're French. Remember my cue about Paris? Vivendi Games is also Sierra and Sierra Online, and "Partners" with Konami. Oh, yes, and they merged with/absorbed Activision, among a bunch of others along the way. And Vivendi Games is only part of the Vivendi megacorp. In the US we're only aware of UMG, but they own a big chunk of French and European television (Canal + group), they've a strong mobile phone presence (SFR), and some other telecom – related and otherwise – with Maroc Telecom. Oh, yeah, and partial ownership of NBC-Universal – which drills down to a big one for most US geeks: SciFi channel.
Looking at this, you can begin to see why Blizzard isn't nimble in responding to customer issues. But you should NOT give up hope. Let's add a touch of perspective.
Vivendi Games generated approximately 5% of last year's total Vivendi revenue, and also approximately 5% of Vivendi's total cash flow from operations. That doesn't seem like a lot, but it is. (For reference, VG provided revenues of 1.018 Billion Euro. Vivendi total was 21.567. Makes your $15 per month seem like chicken feed, doesn't it?) Now, things start looking up when we drill down. World of Warcraft – not all Blizzard, but WoW specifically – provided 77% of that. It's a cash cow, and cash cows get heard.
But… you need to have your voice heard. Which means you need magnification to your voice. That means a lot of you saying the same thing – whether it's independent or not. And… saying it a lot is almost as good as a lot of people saying it. That, by the way, is the essence of the squeaky wheel.
Before I go on, I need to simplify what I've said. 1) try to get satisfaction from Blizzard. 2) If you don't get satisfaction from Blizzard, try to get it from Vivendi Games. (US 1-310-431-4000. France +33 1 46 01 48 00). But some things to remember if you go that way… "I'm gonna quit" is viewed as a temper tantrum. You're conducting business, and you're pointing out potential loss of long-term revenues. Persuade, don't force. 3) Beyond VG you can try Vivendi, but at that point your message is approaching flea speck size.
Oh – "fix the system" tends to do better than "fix my problem" – the former is in their purview, the latter, well, that's why they pay the Bizzard (and WoW in particular) employees, and that's where you'll wind up in the end.
Now I want to go on to why most of the threats given are, well, laughable. Actually, it's a particular type of threat – I"m gonna leave and go to another game. The reason for the laughter falls into one of two general groups. Let's take the more painful one first:
For large-scale MMORPGs, Blizzard's customer service is actually pretty good. Yes, this is sort of like saying "I prefer the cold to a flu." Neither is something you WANT to deal with. But, well, let's look at three organizations. First, Everquest. At the top of the food chain, Everquest is Sony's product. It generates less – actual and proportional – than WoW for Vivendi. EQ's access is a tiny bit better – in addition to phone they have chat, but the hours are 10am to 7 pm PST M-F. And again, there's a lot of automated stuff to get through. It's also worth noting that they state in their agreement that they can take up to 90 days to resolve a problem – and comments in forums (theirs and others) indicate that fixing a wrongful ban takes closer to 90 than 1 day.
The other two games to which players say they'll flee are Age of Conan (AoC) and Warhammer (WAR). Ummm, right. To the good, both EAOnline (WAR) and FunCom (AoC) are a LOT smaller than Vivendi or Sony. As a result when you get to their customer support it tends to be more responsive. That said, both companies have had intermittent quality of customer response ranging from slightly better than the Big Corps to abysmal. Odds are they'll be quite good with initial rollouts of their respective game – the question will be what it's like down the road. That in turn will probably depend on how much money the games provide, and that in turn brings us to the concern.
Both games miss a critical aspect that has made WoW so successful – and EQ missed it too. They're aimed at gamers instead of everybody. While WAR hasn't got an official system requirement out yet (that I can find), the general floor for both systems is a 2.5G or better (preferably closer to 4G) processor, along with 256 or better (again, closer to 2G preferred) memory. Oh, and it appears both are almost going to have to require fat pipes – dialup is pushing "too slow" for some of the stuff involved. Basically, they're telling you that you need a system that's better than basic TODAY – a little less than middle of the road. If you bought it more than a year ago, it'd better have been well over middle of the road. And if you bought it two years ago, do yourself a favor and upgrade.
In other words, MOST players who threaten to leave… have nowhere else to go if they want MMORPGs. See where the problem lies? I can guarantee you right now that NEITHER community will get as large as WoW. The fact that neither will run on Mac only adds insult to the injury.
It isn't hopeless. But you have to realize where and how to get your case moved to have any effect. And the reality is that right now and for the foreseeable future, WoW is the elephant in the living room. Threatening it with a peashooter does no good, and trying to pretend the mouse 'over there' will make things different won't do any good either.
For those who've jumped to the bottom, let me re-summarize. For the short term – dealing with your current problem – you are stuck dealing with Blizzard's account management. They say they prefer you email them. They also have a phone number (which goes to a robo-answer system) and a mailing address. I'd recommend that you use the email, but if you receive no response within a week that you follow up with the phone, and if (probably when) that goes nowhere, go to mail. ahem – REGISTERED mail.
For longer term, skip Blizzard. No, that's not fair. COPY blizzard, but mail (not phone or email) Vivendi Games. 6060 Center Drive, 5th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90045. (Unless you're in Europe. Then go with:

4 Responses to "Pursuing Blizzard"
I really appreciate your writing style and more importantly your thinking style. You look at the big picture, you seem to see it from all angles and come up with a positive direction to go to solve problems. Blizzard does look in into these things, but you need to be upfront and honest with them from the beginning becasue they know why they banned you but they wont tell you.
My RL firend was banned, given an email that said he broke the terms of service agreement. He couldnt figure out what he did. And then it came to us. He sent me 2000 gold in the mail for my epic mount about a week before. (same guild, real life friends, long standing accounts with no priors). To us it was a loan, to blizzard it was an automated banning of a gold seller. So my friend used the given email adress. Explained the whole thing. Said he uses mods (because that can be against the terms of service) told them about me, asked them to look at whispers between us and so on.
about 2 weeks later his account ban was lifted. We never found out exaclty why he was banned but as I explained above we assume it was the money in the mail. Did he have personal contact with anyone..nope. Did they answer any of his questions…Nope. But did they look into it…Yup. Sure it felt like they werent, but they probably get thousands of emails a day and it takes time to look at each one.
Have faith. Im not saying that this person will get unbanned or not. Im not saying if he deserved to get banned or not. All Im saying is that I agree with Kirk…follow the procedures and give it time.
Please have my internet babies.
[…] at Priestly Endeavors has a very thorough look at contacting Blizzard and how their corporate structure is part of the problem and ways that it […]
[…] lot of the secondary stuff – the laughter and all that about other games – is still the same as the last post, so I'll not repeat it. What's changed is how to get to Blizzard because of who owns […]

Subject: [PATCH] uhci: Raise interrupt when requested even for non active tds
According to the spec we must raise an interrupt when one is requested
even for non active tds.
Linux depends on this, for bulk transfers it runs an inactivity timer
to work around a bug in early uhci revisions, when we take longer then
200 ms to process a packet, this timer goes of, and as part of the
handling Linux then unlinks the qh, and relinks it after the frindex
has increased by atleast 1, the problem is Linux only checks for the
frindex increases on an interrupt, and we don't send that, causing
the qh to go inactive for more then 32 frames, at which point we
consider the packet cancelled.

If you woke up tomorrow and the zombie apocalypse had begun, what would you see when you checked your computer? What about the next day, and the week after that? What would the news from CNN, Al-Jazeera, and the Wall Street Journal look like? What would the most popular downloads on the Pirate Bay be? And how long before we figure out that zombie can't survive a sword to the head?
For the last thirteen days, reddit user Vidzilla has been posting image compilations that look like screengrabs from familiar websites — Twitter, Flickr, MSNBC — except they show the slowly unfolding story of a global zombie pandemic. It's remarkable that Vidzilla can get so much across without any additional explanatory text. We get the response from various governments, how initial coverups and misunderstandings eventually shift to worldwide understanding, how opportunistic con men try to sell desperate people on cures for zombieism, the black humor that accompanies such a complete disaster. How many days will the Vidzilla apocalypse go on before there's no new news online?

There's a haunting idea of suicide in literature: not the taking of one's life, necessarily, but how one prepares to end his earthly existence. No one wrote about this better than William Faulkner. In the second section of The Sound and the Fury — famous as the most powerful but also the most confusing part of Faulkner's magnum opus — the brilliant and disturbed Quentin Compson wanders near the Harvard campus, preparing to commit suicide. He spends the day as countless suicide victims (both real and fictitious) have, getting his affairs in order before jumping off a bridge. Quentin packs a travel bag, then remembers he hasn't brushed his teeth, so he opens the bag to get out his toothbrush and use his roommate Shreve's toothpaste. "Before I snapped the light out I looked around to see if there was anything else, then I saw that I had forgotten my hat," he says. "I had forgotten to brush it too, but Shreve had a brush, so I didn't have to open the bag any more."
The first time Lane Pryce attempted suicide in last night's episode of Mad Men, "Commissions and Fees," he did it in the brand new Jaguar his wife bought him. Because Pryce kept his financial calamities such a secret, his wife had no way of knowing they couldn't afford it. Unable to deal with the shame of having embezzled money from the company by forging Don's signature on a check, Pryce runs a hose from the Jaguar's twin exhaust pipes and seals off the windows. As he committed what he thought would be his final worldly act, the narration ran through my head as Faulkner might have written it: "After setting the hose near his face, Lane removed his glasses and snapped them in half at the bridge of the nose. He wouldn't be needing them anymore."
(READ: Mad Men Character Study: Cleopatra Joan)
In the end, Pryce did need his glasses for a little while longer. There's been a running gag about the Jaguar that it's "like a Dodge but less reliable," and when Pryce needs the car to kill himself, it won't start. So after composing a resignation letter, he hangs himself in his office. How did Pryce, the reliably self-disciplined, stiff British finance officer fall so far to kill himself? The act was one more deeply tragic event in a season that's seen characters behaving wildly out of character. As James Poniewozik explained last week, Joan's allowing herself to be pimped out so the firm could land a car company was way off base. It wasn't believable that she would allow herself to go from where she was in the beginning to where she wound up in the end.
Perhaps show runner Matthew Weiner knew he overreached last week, because Pryce's journey was a tragic downfall that's been playing out for weeks. We knew his check-forging scheme would come to a head at some point, but it didn't seem likely that Don would stand on such principle and insist that Pryce resign (this is, of course, the man who stole the identity of his dead commander in the Korean War, but that's beside the point). What seems highly likely is that Don was so angry that Pryce forged his signature, he refused to back down. After that, Pryce's suicide didn't seem entirely out of the question, and the fact that the Jaguar didn't start was a nice piece of irony.
Weiner said that last night's episode was about "validating life," that amid the tragedy of losing a colleague in such a horrific way, Don is reminded that sometimes life is about the little pleasures. When he comes home to discover Glen waiting for his train back to boarding school, he offers to drive him. As they're riding down the elevator — a man in midlife with a five o'clock shadow and a teenager with stubble on his upper lip — it's the boy who spells out life's pessimism: "Everything you think is going to make you happy just turns to crap," Glen says. Then Don asks him what he would do if he could do anything. The episode ends with Glen driving Don's car up the highway, Don helping him steer straight. It's the final unexpected gift — the creepy kid who once asked Betty for a lock of her hair teaches Don that happiness in life can be as simple as trying something new, driving a car when you're 14.
(SPECIAL: Sexist, Silly, Sublime: Mad Men–Era Ads)
Suicidal ideations: Much of the discussion of last night's episode will probably center on Lane's choice to end his life. (And on a day when he was ironically named the head of the fiscal-control commission.) In losing Lane we lost a great character, but sadly, he fits the profile of a typical suicide. According to a 2008 study published by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School for Public Health, the demographic at highest risk for suicide is older white men. While more women attempt suicide, more men succeed because they often choose more-violent ways to end their lives: jumping off bridges, self-inflicting gunshot wounds, hanging. One of the largest contributing factors is financial difficulties, which started Pryce's downward spiral.
The neighborhood kid returns: For much of this season, we've been wondering when Sally is going to snap. After being fed sleeping pills, catching Roger in a salacious act and generally being disappointed with things, Sally ran the risk of becoming a severely disgruntled teenager. But her "date" with Glen — a trip to the Natural History Museum — saw her get her first period and turn the corner to becoming a woman, which drove her straight back to her mother's arms. It was, all in all, a pretty innocent experience. And it's nice to see Glen hanging around; he is one of the more creepily entertaining characters on the show.
Don vs. Dow: Part of Don's rebirth is a newfound worry about the legacy he will leave behind. Sure, he's won a slew of awards and made more money than he'll ever need, but he's clearly unhappy with both being in a middling firm and doing the kind of morally reprehensible things necessary to land big clients. So he goes for the old-school direct confrontation of Dow Chemical. It'll be interesting to see if this tactic pays off, but the historical references to the antiwar protest against napalm use not only are great pieces of color, they help date the episode nicely.

Severe Winter Weather Telecommuting Terms & Agreements and the application form can be found in GrinnellShare on the Human Resources page (login required).
Occasionally, emergencies such as severe winter weather, fires, power failures, or tornadoes, will disrupt college operations. When this happens the college will respond in a way appropriate to the situation and may require closing parts of the college or distributing staff and services in an alternative way. Staff should be alert to regular communication methods through the campus home page, email, voice mail and cell phones. Where these methods are not effective, phone trees or other departmental methods of reaching personnel should be used. In extreme emergency situations, an announcement will be broadcast through Central and Eastern Iowa outlets (see the list at the end of this policy). When in doubt, employees should seek guidance from their supervisor. Grinnell College is a residential campus and it is not possible to cease all services. There may be times, however, where limited services are most appropriate. For purposes of this policy, four possible scenarios have been identified.
1) Classes Still in Session, Open Administrative Offices
Unless directed otherwise, staff should report to work. Supervisors and employees are encouraged to be as flexible as possible in adhering to the normal office schedule while considering the safety of employees. Those who leave will be required to use accumulated vacation or personal time to cover their absence or make arrangements with their supervisor to make up the time during the same work week.
2) Classes Still in Session, Closed Administrative Offices
Grinnell College is a residential campus and because of this, students will not be traveling to school to attend classes. However, if a faculty member is not able to commute to campus due to the weather, he/she may cancel his/her respective class, arrange for a colleague to cover the class, or make an alternative assignment. The college relies upon a workforce that lives in Grinnell and surrounding areas. Weather conditions may create difficult driving conditions for those who commute to work. In severe weather, the college may choose to close administrative offices. Should this happen, employees will be paid in the following way. Employees whose work schedule begins during the closing will not be required to work and will be paid for their scheduled hours. Employees who are at work will be released and paid for their regularly scheduled hours. Employees on approved vacation, personal or sick leave will be charged for vacation, personal or sick leave.
Essential Staff
Essential services must be maintained in order to provide for the safety and welfare of the college's resident student population. Essential staff typically includes most employees who work in Dining Services, Facilities Management, and Campus Safety & Security. Other departments, such as the Library, may also provide essential services if the students are on campus. Departments who provide essential services should determine the positions and personnel who are designated as "essential", identify the conditions under which they will be considered essential (i.e. students on campus or not) and provide written notice annually to the affected staff in the Fall, well before winter weather conditions require it. Personnel should seek guidance from their supervisor and follow departmental procedures. Under conditions of "Essential Staff only," essential non-exempt staff who are required to work will be paid two times their regular hourly wage. It is important for essential staff to plan properly so they can be at work when needed. Supervisors and employees are expected to communicate with each other about the weather and plans for covering shifts when severe weather is anticipated. Should an essential staff employee not be able to work due to circumstances beyond his/her control, he/she will be paid like other employees. Lack of adequate planning does not constitute a circumstance beyond one's control, however, a surprise storm and the inability to come to work may. 3) Campus Closed Only under extreme circumstances would the college campus close. A campus closing would require activation of the Campus Emergency Response Plan. All communication to the campus would occur through that mechanism. Essential staff may be required to work. Refer to the Essential Staff section under "Classes Still in Session, Closed Administrative Offices".
1) Partial or Complete Evacuation of Campus
There may be occasions where an evacuation of the campus is necessary. Each situation will be assessed as to the extent of the evacuation and whether a partial or complete evacuation is necessary. During partial evacuations, accommodations should be attempted for staff to perform their work elsewhere on the campus. If this is not possible, the supervisor should seek guidance from the Office of Human Resources. Essential staff may be required to work. Refer to the Essential Staff section under "Classes Still in Session, Closed Administrative Offices".
Telecommuting may be allowed, with proper prior approval, as an alternative to driving in severe winter weather. The Severe Winter Weather Telecommuting Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which telecommuting will be allowed. Employees must complete an application form and receive approval from their department director, Senior Staff member and the Office of Human Resources before telecommuting commences. The purpose of HR involvement is to ensure that severe winter weather telecommuting is being applied consistently across campus. Telecommuting is a way of removing barriers for people to complete their work during severe winter weather. For this reason, employees approved for telecommuting are expected to perform work at home when administrative offices close due to severe weather. Individuals will not receive additional compensation in these cases. Telecommuters should pay attention to winter weather conditions and take portable work home if severe weather is anticipated. If an employee is designated as essential staff, he or she will not be allowed to telecommute.

(Pocket-lint) - There are few names that have been as enduring in dance music as Ministry of Sound. It's a label, club and its reach extends all over the world. It has dabbled in hardware before, but it was re-branded Alba gear, so you can imagine how that worked out.
Now the company is having another crack at headphones, something it should be very good at, and there's a whole new range, from in-ear phones, up to lug-hole covering cans. We're looking at the latter today, and they're catchily named the MOS006, which has a lot in common with the firm's music cataloguing system, which we kind of liked.
Out of the box - which is quite a funky affair in itself - the headphones are decent enough. Their weight and thin cable makes them feel like budget headphones, and at £40, they're hardly bank-breakers. But there's actually more going on here than you might, at first, realise.
For example, the chord is non-tangle, but it's a smooth to the touch material, rather than the rather less pleasant rough style that we've seen on other headphones. It seems to work too, with ours not getting too caught-up in knots while we tested them with an iPod touch.
There are no inline controls here and no built-in microphone. This might be a concern if the primary use is with a phone, but if not, it makes for universal compatibility. The cable itself is removable from the headphones, which means if it ever breaks, you can just discard it, and replace it with a new one, without having to spring for a new set. We like this, and we've destroyed far more expensive headphones, and rued the lack of cable replaceability.
Wearing them
It's possible to argue that the Ministry of Sound brand doesn't carry the same cachet it used to. After all, dance music has suffered a bit of late, and while the club is no-doubt still as popular - and as impossible for normal people to get in to - as always, its decision to get in to every kind of cheap electronics might not have been good for perceptions.
But the headphones are comfortable enough to wear. They're light, which is a good thing. They clamp on quite tight though, which does mean you're aware of their presence all the time. Their foam cups can also make your ears a little warm, but this isn't a major issue at all.
The dual band that keeps them in place is comfortable enough too, but is easy to adjust, when you need to. A shake of the head confirms they won't go flying off too easily either.
Cunning tricks
The Ministry claims that the 50mm drivers and aluminium housing help to deliver top-quality audio into your ears. Certainly, from our time with them, we rather enjoyed the sound quality.
Bear in mind these are aimed at the sort of people that buy things with Ministry of Sound written on them. These are people who both love bass, and may well have substantial hearing loss thanks to excessive bass.
Hooked up to the iPod, and with no volume limiter turned on, these cans can go LOUD (we said LOUD). They do retain their composure throughout though. We tested some of Ministry of Sound's own music on them, as well as some stuff from Gabriel & Dresden (Mixed for Feet, Volume 1) and they do a bang-up job.
As you'd expect, they're bass heavy, and there's a decent amount of treble. In common with most cheaper headphones, the mid-range is a little woolly at times, but it's really not dreadful. And at times, we had to remind ourselves that these are £40, which is about £10 less than it costs to get into a club in Ibiza, and only £30 more than a single bottle of beer, on the island of love and commerce.
We didn't want to like the MOS006s, to be honest. We wanted to deny them a good score, claiming that they weren't dressed right, or they were wearing trainers. As it turns out, they are easily cool enough to be allowed into the Pocket-lint club. We've certainly heard better, but for the price, they are decent enough.
The only real criticism is that of the cheap cable and slightly ear-sweating qualitys. But we're nitpicking here. For the price, these headphones sound good and feel great. It's up to you to decide if they're cooler than Beats Audio or not...

There is a global consensus that integrated electronic health
records are essential to improving health outcomes, providing better
quality of care, insuring patient safety, and reducing costs.
Unfortunately, the healthcare software industry has yet to produce
effective clinical and administrative solutions which are
desperately needed worldwide. The lesson for ARRA funding is pouring
more money into the same approaches and solutions will continue to
yield the same results.
The VA stands out as a role model for how software can be developed
and improved to create the kind of fundamental paradigm shift that
is essential to catalyzing real change. The session will explore how
the VA used open, collaborative software development and improvement
processes to drive clinical and cost improvement and transform
itself into one of the best managed health systems in the world.

On Wednesday, July 10, a spending bill was approved by the House Appropriations Committee. It was dubbed "The Jay-Z, Beyonce Bill" by Rep. Jose Serrano, who opposes a provision in the bill meant to enhance restrictions on travel to Cuba.
"Absolutely [it's a response to the Jay-Z & Beyonce trip], and it's playing to the audience in Miami," Serrano shared with Politico.
The $17 billion bill which features this provision would likely restrict travel to Cuba to educational purposes related to a degree program.
Subcommittee Chairman Ander Crenshaw, a supporter of the bill, expressed concern about the couple's trip to Cuba.
The trip taken by Jay-Z and Beyonce earlier this year "was an example of how the guidelines are not being enforced," Crenshaw told Politico. "I think that if we're going to say that we have this policy in place that relates to travel in Cuba that it ought to be enforced and that becomes a grey area where they're probably not really following the guidelines."
Serrano, who backs the trip and opening relations with Cuba, has supported Jay and Bey.
"The mistake they made was being seen in public, by that I mean they being who they are walked down the street.," he explained. "We may consider Cuba a closed society, but even it is – it's not closed enough so they don't know who Jay-Z and Beyonce are."
"What you're seeing here is the result of a successful trip," Serrano added. "Isn't it educational for a superstar in our country to go to Cuba and say, 'Look who we are?'"
The couple's trip to Cuba was reportedly licensed by the US Treasury Department. Soon after images surfaced of their trip, Jay-Z and Beyonce were criticized for it due to the United States' history and relations with Cuba. President Obama distanced himself from the controversy but also joked about it at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, saying he has "99 problems and now Jay-Z one." Jay himself addressed criticism on "Open Letter," a track leaked soon after his trip to Cuba.
