Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Carlos Marmol allowed three first-inning runs, facing five batters and retiring only one (BB, 2B, HBP, F-7, 2B), and a four-run 8th inning Iowa Cubs rally fell one run short (the potential tying run was left stranded on 3rd base), as the Fresno Grizzlies (San Francisco Giants AAA affiliate) almost blew a 6-1 lead but held-on to edge the I-Cubs 7-6 on Field #3, while over on Field #2, Steve Clevenger "celebrated" his assignment to AA (for the third year in a row!) with an RBI single and a double, but two baserunners were thrown at key points in the game (Josh Vitters trying to advance from 1st to 3rd on a hit & run single to CF in the 4th, and D. J. Lemahieu trying to score from 1st on double in the 8th), as the Richmond Flying Squirrels (Giants AA affiliate) edged the Tennessee Smokies 4-3 in Cactus League Minor League action at Fitch Park this afternoon
Marmol was at Fitch Park to get work, as the Cubs obviously wanted him to throw two days in a row at least once prior to Opening Day (Marmol threw an inning yesterday at HoHoKam Park). The same thing was done with Sean Marshall on Saturday, throwing him in a minor league game the day after he had thrown in an MLB Cactus League game. Managers sometimes want their one-inning guys (set-up men and closer) to throw more than one inning once and throw in back-to-back games at least once toward the end of Spring Training.
Tennessee RHP Rafael Dolis struggled once again with his control, laboring through a three-run 29-pitch 1st inning, before settling down to throw a bit better in his second and third innings. Dolis has quality stuff and he throws in the mid-upper 90's, but he just throws too many pitches-per-inning to be an effective starting pitcher. While the Cubs may continue to use him as starter for a while longer (to get him more innings of experience and to force him to use his secondary stuff), I suspect his future probably lies in the bullpen.
Conversely, Iowa Cubs RHP Hung-Wen Chen threw three innings of one-hit shutout ball (following Marmol to the hill on Field #3), and he needed only 30 pitches to do it.
Tennessee Smokies IF-OF David Macias finally got to see some game action behind the plate, catching the 8th and 9th innings. And he looked every bit like a utility infielder back there, too, throwing himself at pitches in the dirt and catching balls like they were "live" hand grenades
After playing a three-inning intrasquad "sim game" on Field #1 (with rehab pitchers including Angel Guzman and Jon Nagel throwing an inning a piece), several players from the Boise/Mesa (Extended Spring Training) squad (SS Wes Darvill, 3B Dustin Geiger, 2B Gioskar Amaya, catchers Johan DeJesus and Brian Inoa, and outfielders Blair Springfield and Xavier Batista) saw some late game action with Iowa. (Players from the Boise/Mesa Extended Spring Training group are often used as late inning replacements in Cactus League Minor League Spring Training games).
In Minor League Camp roster news, with catcher Welington Castillo getting optioned to Iowa today, Steve Clevenger was moved down from Iowa to Tennessee (for the third year in a row), Luis Flores was moved down from Tennessee to Daytona, and Sergio Burruel was moved down from Daytona to Peoria.
Also, infielder Marwin Gonzalez was moved down from Iowa to Tennessee, infielders Junior Lake, Jake Opitz, and Logan Watkins, and outfielder Nelson Perez were moved down from Tennessee to Daytona, infielders Pierre LePage and Elliot Soto were moved down to Peoria from Daytona, and infielder Dustin Harrington and RHP Ben Wells were assigned to Boise/Mesa (Extended Spring Training) from Peoria.
And finally, OF Kyler Burke has been moved from Tennessee to the Boise/Mesa squad, where he will be converted to a LHP at Extended Spring Training. This is really not too surprising, since Burke is considered to have the best outfield arm in the organization, he was two-way player (LHP/OF) in high school, and some clubs supposedly had him rated higher as a pitcher than as an outfielder going into the 2006 June Draft.
The San Diego Padres selected Burke in the Supplemental 1st round of the 2006 draft (35th overall) as an outfielder, and traded him to the Cubs (along with catcher Rob Bowen) for Michael Barrett in June 2007. Burke struggled to hit "A"-ball pitching for three years (2006-08), before finally having what appeared at the time to be a breakout season in 2009 at Peoria, when he hit 303/405/505 with 15 HR and 43 doubles, and was named Cubs 2009 Minor League Player of the Year. But he was unable to follow-up on his 2009 success at "Hi-A" Daytona in 2010, hitting a dismal 212/279/328 with only seven HR and 131 K, and there was just no room for him in the Tennessee Smokies outfield in 2011.
Burke will be joining the likes of Carlos Marmol, Randy Wells, Blake Parker, Luke Sommer, Jake Muyco, Adalberto Mendez, and Charles Thomas as position players successfully converted to pitchers by the Cubs. Burke is still only 23 years old (he will turn 24 next month), and he has the added advantage of having been a pitcher previously in his baseball career, so he may not require a lot of time to make the move and get comfortable.
Burke is eligible to be a Rule 55 Minor League Free-Agent (6YFA) after the 2012 season, so the Cubs will have two seasons to decide if Burke shows enough promise as a pitcher to get added to the club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) before he has the option to leave as a minor league free-agent. (Burke became eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time post-2010, and he will continue to be eligible for selection until he becomes a 6YFA post-2012).

Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
AZ Phil,
Does Steve Clevenger have anything left to prove at the AA level? He seems destined to be a backup catcher that can also sub at 1st, 3rd, and even the middle infield positions in an emergency, and he has hit AA pitching pretty well the last two years. What does he have to do this year to be considered for the MLB backup gig in 2012 (or halfway through the season)?
What do you think Kyler Burke would have to do this year to get himself placed on the 40-man as protection from the Rule V draft?
Thanks as always!
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Thanks, Phil!
I'm turning into a little bit of a Steve Clevenger fan.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
AZ Phil,
Do you see any prospects skipping a level to start this year? It doesn't look like it from what you have given us in box scores. I did notice Ja Hoon-Ha still in AA, and he played in a major league game over the weekend.
Also, it looks like Iowa won't have many under 24 prospects to start. No surprises?
Thank you, sir.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
While you're on the subject Phil, have you heard any theories about why Gibbs forgot how to hit after signing last year?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Haha, it's a scary thought. Maybe hitting .200 is the way to get ahead in the organization.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Lest we forget-
"We're going to face two left-handers tomorrow and the next day, so Soto will be there," Lou said. "We're going to face a couple left-handers over the weekend against the Angels. We're just trying to win baseball games right now. Hill's been swinging the bat OK. He does a nice job behind (the plate). Actually, both catchers have done a nice job behind the plate. But I don't know. We can go either way with that. Tonight, Hill's catching because we won the other night. This is basically the same lineup that played the other night. We played a good ballgame. So we're sticking with that, not changing it."
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Are you saying the Q doesn't fall far from the Lou?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
This is what the regulars call, 3/44 here, i.e. "old news" to most of us. ;)
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
I had suspected this, I'll try to find fresher news next time!
The last thing I remember reading about him, before seeing that, was the suggestion he could be stowed away on the DL for the season.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Maybe if he could learn some defensive skills against the 19yos it wouldn't be the worst thing for his career. All while earning a major league pay check and feasting on Angel's gastronomic delights.
Re: The Cubs should have kicked
Why I read TCR...
AzPhil, you really should consider a regular column on Cubs Front Office Flubs.
You're the only person in the world capable of it.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
EAGON: The Cubs should have kicked the Max Ramirez roster issue down the line by waiting until the Thursday roster deadline to place him on the Designated List (Designated for Assignment), such that they would not have to place him on Outright Waivers until Wednesday April 6th. By that time most club's will have firmed-up their 25-man roster for the first month of the season, and (more importantly) all MLB clubs will have already added veteran Non-Roster (NRI) players to their 40-man roster and 25-man roster (at which point the player gets an MLB guaranteed contract and probably won't get released, at least not in April).
Hendry plays checkers. AZ Phil plays chess.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Thanks Phil! There will be no equivalent for you at Wrigley, so will miss your daily recaps.
Do you think SS Wes Darvill and former Cardinal Dal Maxvill are cousins?
Maxvill's sparkling 14-year stats run .217 .293 .259 .552
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Speaking of old news, has it been reported here that Sam Fuld made Tampa's opening-day roster?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
wow...he rebounded like a champ with his spring numbers over the last week+ compared to where he was when i last checked.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Also Felix Pie in Baltimore, but only because he's out of options and Reimold isn't.
Jake Fox made a couple of managers angry yesterday.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Haha... live and learn.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
The comments section is very disappointing. Everonye thinks Fox should be allowed to swing 3-0 even if he's been given a take sign. Oh well, its just the Orioles
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
It's amazing they always finish behind the Sawks/Yanks. Just amazing.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Was he actually given the take sign, or was it just assumed? If it's just assumed, Fox can do whatever he wants, in my mind. If he ignored the sign, then yeah, that's a problem.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
it ranks up there with "i should be able to do whatever i want" forms of free speech.
yes, you can do it, but do you want to deal with getting yourself or a teammate a fastball in the chest as a repercussion..."fair" or not?
that said, he probably wasn't even thinking about it even though he's been playing the game a long time...but that's the kind of crap old bench guy types should know.
doubt anyone will seek revenge for it unless fox says something stupid when asked about it...if asked about it.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
I'm thinking that maybe he doesn't swing at the 3-0 pitch if Showalter had previously told him he made the team. But nope. So, FOX isn't just trying to impress the Orioles, he's auditoning with the rest of major league baseball as well.
Swing away...
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Burke will be joining the likes of Carlos Marmol, Randy Wells, Blake Parker, Luke Sommer, and Charles Thomas as position players successfully converted to pitchers by the Cubs.
I've been impressed by the Cubs success in this regard. Are they pioneers in this? Are other organizations doing this as well or better?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
If memory serves, Troy Percival was a high profile conversion that the worked out pretty well for California back in the early '90s. There is someone else from around that time too who did it, but it's slipping my mind.

Rahm Says No to Ricketts' Amusement Tax Heist
Frankly, Ricketts finished destroying the ambience of Wrigley Field with that Annoyota sign in LF. So why not let him just plaster the rest of his house with advertising. They estimate he could sell $60 million more a year that way.
Plan B, of course is seat licenses.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
someone should tell the ricketts family that all that money they donated to Tea Party candidates (esp. ricketts sr.) are supposed to be the types that wouldn't support the ricketts side of things.
this isn't the Tea Party's doing or roadblock, but well...yeah...okay...*shrug*
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Politics foul!
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
I am a little hazy on billboards = anti-tea party. Are billboards taxed at an astronomical rate or something?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
i'm more on the asking the government to give a lot of money (and especially via taxes) to a privately owned business thing.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
America is stupid.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
mark prior looks weird as hell with his new arm motion...weird to see him in a yanks jersey, too.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
I want to see video. Looks like he got miggy on 3 straight strikes. I want to see Prior pitching in the bigs this year even if it's a quiet, modest comeback.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
from cm @mlb.com
"Cubs manager Mike Quade said Colvin had played well enough this spring at first that he wouldn't hesitate to use him there."
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
garza finishing off spring with a crap start...yeeesh...it's spring and all, but give us something to feel good about
3ip 10h 4er 0bb 7k
yeah, 7K, but 10h? man...at least they were mostly singles. =p
to start the 4th...double, walk, wild pitch, walk...bases loaded, 0 out. neat.
scott maine in...
...and scott maine gives up a grand slam...to x.nady.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
At least Maine's ERA is up there now with the guys who made the team. Samardjzia is screwed because he actually has to finish this inning, he can't just give up one run and have them call the game.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Trevor Hoffman is probably the ultimate coverted hitter from this generation of ball player. The other side of the conversion, I heard Musial and Ted Williams started out as pitchers, and of course there is Babe Ruth. I can't think of too many recent conversions from pitcher to hitter, only Ankiel. Who is that Cub minor league pitcher that converted to hitter last year. Is he still with the organization?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Koyie Hill?
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
wikipedia doesn't mention anything about Williams, fwiw.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Cleveland pitcher Bob Lemon was converted from third baseman to pitcher. The story was that his throws to first base had so much movement on them that the first basemen had trouble catching them.
Musial started out as a pitcher. I don't think that Williams did.
The Cubs has a young CF named Danny Murphy who came up around the same time Santo did. He played a little CF for the Cubs, but never made it there. he later resurfaced as a left handed pitcher, maybe with the White Sox.
About a decade later the Cubs had a right fielder named Dunnegan. I think he played a little with the Cubs but with little success. He later made it to the majors as a pitcher, again possibly with the Sox, but I am not sure.
The Cardinals had a young pitcher named Von McDaniel, (the brother of Lindy McDaniel) who looked like he would be an outstanding pitcher (I remember a two hit shutout) but then hurt his arm. He later became a decent third baseman.
And, of course, there was the Cubs Doug Dascenzo, who played CF and pitcher with equal success.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Nice list, DavidP (except for one minor detail).
Murphy was a righty-throwing outfielder. I actually remember that (and also checked it).
All the other teams were signing "$100,000 bonus babies," so the Cubs looked under some rocks and found Murphy and gave him a hundred grand. That excited the fan base until they discovered that he could not hit a lick.
Reminds me of the $48 million bonus baby they have now.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Sergio Santos of the White Sox was a 2002 first round draft choice as a shortstop. Was #37 on Baseball America's top prospect list in 2004 and #61 in 2005 as a shortstop. Starting pitching in 2009 as a 25 year old. Made the White Sox in 2010 as a pitcher.
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
and one time milb cub catcher, Jake Muyco is now a reliever
Re: Grizzlies Like Marmolade for Lunch
Is there something else Muyco can convert to? He pitches like Koyie Hill hits.
10.48 ERA in the AFL last year in 22.1 innings. 39 hits, 6 HRs, 11 walks, 11 Ks.

Please do not discuss War here. I think the Cub Reporter should be politics free.
But yes, whether you support War or Peace...Mike Trout is ridiculously consistent and good.
"According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Tim Tebow's baseball workout Tuesday in Los Angeles will be attended by scouts from "roughly half" of the 30 major league teams."
"One scout told ESPN.com last week that Tebow's swing is so long it might "take out the front row." That's not a good thing."
MyrtleBeachPelicans [email protected]
The #MBpelicans and @Cubs have extended their PDC through 2020!
Carolina League getting 2 new teams too.
CF WAR is ridiculous...billy hamilton is pulling a 3.0 WAR somehow...and managed a 2.0 WAR last year (even though he missed a month of the season)...and a 3.7 WAR in 2014.
yeah, a lot depends on how one is doing relative to others at a given position, but WAR is common used (right or wrong) as a blanket comparing all kinds of players.
trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo.
Mike Trout is ridiculous
Don't know if Cubs will recover from "spanking" Gordo
2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.

I'd recently discovered that Howard Shore was composing the score for the third Twilight movie Eclipse. I flipped out! I was furious and ecstatic at the same time. Angered because Howard Shore was dipping his amazing talents into the filth of vampires and droopy girls who lust for them. Ecstatic because I love his music. So I'd like to dedicate a thread to him and his music.
Personally, I loved how everytime I listen to anything from LOTR, i get the chills all over and I'm swept off my feet into the world of Middle Earth. I'm curious to see what he does in Eclipse
But what else has he done???? I'd like to know.

Im right in thinking that a player bought 18 months ago for less than a million, is being touted around with a new price of 14million makes good business sense dont you think. Now, i really dont wanna see Palacios go, BUT if Bruce can use the money earned from the sale to bring in other little gems like Zaki, then im happy.

Unstable angina happens when blood flow to the heart is suddenly slowed by narrowed vessels or small blood clots that form in the coronary arteries.
Unstable angina is an emergency. It may mean that you are having a heart attack.
Unstable angina symptoms are similar to a heart attack. They may include chest pain or pressure that occurs at rest or with less and
less exertion. Symptoms may become severe and last longer. And they may not
respond to nitroglycerin or rest.
Unstable angina is a change from stable angina—a pattern of
predictable chest pain or other symptoms. Stable angina symptoms are relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.

Ewan Pearson speaking at the interactive workshop.
DOHA: Red Bull Music Academy, a travelling series of music workshops and festivals, recently held a special event at the W Hotel in Doha with renowned musician and global DJing sensation Ewan Pearson.
Pearson, a Red Bull Music Academy lecturer and acclaimed music industry professional, informed local musicians, DJs and producers how to apply for this year's Academy, to be held in New York in September and October. He then conducted an interactive workshop, where he worked closely with the local talent on honing and refining their musical skills.
Thirty hopefuls attended the workshop to learn from the music veteran. This was followed by an electrifying set performed by the world-famous DJ, offering the crowds a chance to experience first-hand what it takes to succeed in the music business and get audiences on their feet.
Although originally only open to DJs, the Red Bull Music Academy has come far in the 14 years since its inception, becoming one of the world's top annual international music events. Up and coming musicians of all genres, as well as DJs, singers, producers and arrangers are offered the opportunity to learn from some of the world's leading music luminaries in a series of workshops held in a different city each year. This year's Academy is set to be another epic learning experience for the selected musicians, and with online applications having started in February, competition for entry is bound to be fierce.

We present geochronological and geochemical data for eight plutonic rocks from five locations in the Pine Island Bay area of West Antarctica, collected during RV Polarstern expedition ANT-XXIII/4. Ar-Ar laser method dating yielded closure temperatures ages of c. 147–98 Ma for dioritic and granitic plutonic rocks and an age range of c. 97–95 Ma for granitoid and trachyandesitic dykes. Major and trace element compositions indicate that all rocks have an I-type subduction-related chemistry. There are no A-type granitic rocks in our dataset, and none are yet reported from the Pine Island Bay area. Our results confirm earlier models of post 100 Ma subduction on this part of the Gondwana margin.

So again I thought I was covered. Got to the airport after a red-eye flight and had to argue with the woman who said " you got the surprise deal". She I'd that ment you get the car we have the most of. Small compact..in Orlando with all the families coming in, a van is a high price deal. I ended up paying double 230.00 to 430.00 for 10 days. Customer service just repeated my own words, i wrote in my complaint, and never really answered my concerns. So don't use Hotwire.

At least once or twice a year, most of us are able to spend time with our loved ones - reconnect, share, laugh with grandparents, siblings, children, aunts & uncles, cousins, parents, and good friends. During holidays, special occasions or in times of sickness and need, we have the resources to visit the people who are most important to us.
Unfortunately, for many low income families often living thousands of miles apart, its not so easy to see each other.
When low income families are struggling to pay the rent and buy food, spending money on a plane ticket is simply an impossibility. Countless families spend too many years apart - unable to travel due to finances, which is often made more difficult by restrictive immigration policies.
Hello Vuelo uses crowdfunding to purchase flights to reunite low income families. We connect families & friends who want to give with families & friends who are in need of support.
"Vuelo" means flight in Spanish and so our project - Hello Vuelo - means a flight to say hello to loved ones and reunite. All donations are tax-deductible.
My name is Oscar Chico and I am 23 years old. I am originally from Mexico City where I lived until I was 15 years old. My mom brought my brother and I to New York City about 9 years ago - it was a long and very dangerous journey. After 4 years of living in New York, my mom and my brother went back to México, leaving me behind with my dad. Since then, I haven't seen them. Its been 9 years without going back to my roots, my culture, or at least being able to hug my sister (who, by the way, made me uncle a few months ago). Everyday I get news from my sister, brother and my mom - sometimes it is good, sometimes it is not so good and sometimes it is horrible. Having my sister over the phone telling me that I am now the uncle of her first baby daughter is something that makes me smile and very happy, but having my mom telling me that she is only waiting for me to go see her at least once more, that she feels very tired and has only a few months left, is something that breaks my heart. READ MORE. . .
My name is Diana Muchira. I was born in Kenya in November 1981, and raised in comfortable middle-class Nairobi. My upbringing was very typical, and my parents were very supportive of my four older siblings and me. I married my husband David in May 2002, and we have two children together: Natalie (born July 2000) and Dylan (born June 2010).
Our happy, peaceful life came to an end in 2011 when my brothers joined an ethnocentric gang, which formed in the late 1980s and espouses anti-Western and anti-Christian values. Because this gang colludes with the Kenyan government, it has impunity. This gang seeks to return our ethnic group to its interpretation of our pre-colonial traditions.
One of the practices that this gang seeks to spread is female circumcision. My parents did not circumcise my sisters and me, and my brothers considered this an affront to our culture. It was a difficult, but easy decision to leave Kenya. I needed to save myself, but I couldn't bring my husband or children with me because none had visas or even passports. READ MORE. . .
When I was 14, my father passed away. At the time, my older sister was working alone in Hong Kong financially supported my education. She worked really hard, never married, and later became a top teacher at a local middle school. Unfortunately, she grew sick not long after and waited futilely for a kidney transplant for more than 10 years. She never received a transplant and passed away 2 years ago. I could not afford to go see her before she passed away or be there at her funeral. My sister was sincere, hard-working, and always willingly to go out of her way to help people. She was like a parent to me. I love my sister and want to honor her memory with my visit. READ MORE. . .
Established community & legal aid organizations such as African Services Committee nominate low wage workers or their family members - we call them "Travelers" - for free trips through Hello Vuelo.
We work with community organizations so they can vet individual's stories and ensure that they are in need of support. Travelers are from low income families with a joint family income of $50,000 or less (for family of four) and generally fall into the following categories:
there is a sudden health issue in the family and a low income family member cannot afford a trip to visit
there is a milestone event coming up (birth of a child, wedding, funeral) and the low income family member cannot afford to attend
These nominated low wage workers or their family members go up on our website with their narrative and pictures so people can read their stories, encouraging them to make donations to reunite low-income families.
If you would like to help us with fundraising, please contact us at email@example.com
Hello Vuelo is a volunteer run non-profit organization - donations go directly towards trips to reunite low income families. We are a small group of people who believe low wages should not keep families apart and wanted to do something about it.
We partner with media companies, including Time of Day Media - a social justice media cooperative - to produce video/graphic content.
Hello Vuelo collaborates with amazing partner groups organizing low income communities for fair economic and immigration policies to select Travelers whose trips we fund. These are a few of the incredible organizations we are working with:
Make the Road New York builds the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education, and survival services. Make the Road New York promotes equal rights and economic and political opportunity for immigrant New Yorkers through Community and Electoral Organizing, Leadership Development, Adult Education, Workforce, Youth Development, Legal and Support Services, and Strategic Policy Advocacy.
Founded in 1972, the Chinese Progressive Association educates, organizes and empowers the low income and working class immigrant Chinese community in San Francisco to build collective power with other oppressed communities to demand better living and working conditions and justice for all people. CPA's core strategies are community education and organizing, leadership development and alliance and movement building. CPA engages in community education and organizing around health and environmental justice,workers' rights, housing, immigrant rights, and other issues of concern to the organization's members and constituents.
Founded in 1981 by Ethiopian refugees to give a helping hand to other newcomers, today African Services is a multiservice agency based in Harlem and dedicated to assisting immigrants, refugees and asylees from across the African Diaspora.
ASC's programs address the needs of newcomers affected by war, persecution, poverty, and global health inequalities. ASC provides health, housing, legal, educational, and social services to 12,500 people each year. Staff representing more than 20 countries and speaking over 25 languages provide culturally and linguistically relevant support to this diverse and growing community.
Expanding HIV prevention and access to AIDS treatment and care is central to ASC's mission. African Services has taken this work from Harlem to the front lines of the global pandemic and now operates five HIV clinics in Ethiopia.
Are you an organization that works with low wage workers and/or low income families? Do you have members who are unable to see their loved ones due to finances? Please contact us at email@example.com

Gophers turn to Brewster
Published: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 at 3:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 at 6:33 a.m.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Tim Brewster spent 13 years learning the tricks of the recruiting trade under guru Mack Brown.
Six years after leaving Brown for the NFL, Brewster will finally put that knowledge to work in his first head coaching job.
The little-known Denver Broncos tight ends coach was hired by Minnesota on Tuesday to breathe new life into the Golden Gopher football program. He will be introduced today at a news conference.
People who know Brewster describe him as an outgoing personality who excels in recruiting.
Brewster spent the last two seasons with the Broncos after three years as tight ends coach for the San Diego Chargers, where he is credited with developing Antonio Gates from a raw basketball player into one of the best tight ends in the league.
Before that, he was one of Brown's top recruiters at North Carolina and Texas, where he played a big role in luring the class that won the Longhorns the 2005 national championship.

Rush Offense
Alot of people are saying its Gore, and that he's done....Frank is still one of the best RB's in the league, the O-Line has not been giving him any holes whats so ever, and also the teams we've played so far, are good Rush Defense teams.....(Official stats after the Monday night game)
Dallas - 2nd
Cincinnati - 8th
Seattle - 13th
Next three games
Philadelphia - 30th
Tampa Bay - 23rd
Detroit - 21st
I expect Gore 2 breakout and get his season going in Philly, and hopefully it will get the offense going, so we dont have 2 have these close games every week
Pass Offense
Week one, we played a Seattle Pass Rush that is very sub-par, and only hit Alex once the whole game, but since then the O-Line has been giving Alex absolutely no time in the pocket, i think they'll get it together, but making a change is what might have 2 be done, putting Snyder at RG might have 2 happen, because we cant keep having these holding, and pre-snap penalties on Rachal constantly.
Niner fans can say whatever they want about Alex, but he is playing smart so far this year. If the O-Line can just start clicking and start picking up those blitzers, Alex can feed his playmakers the ball. I like what happened against Cincy though. We got our star TE involved, and if we continue that, that will not only open up the run game, it will also open it up for WR's like Crabtree, Morgan, Edwards when he returns, and TE Delanie
Alex Smith's Stats
QB Rating - 13th
Comp Pct - 4th
He's not throwing the ball a whole lot, but i think that'll change as the season goes, and the players get more adjusted 2 the offense, and like i said earlier, when the running game starts goin, so will the passing game, especially once we get Braylon back, which should be against Detroit or after the bye week against Cleveland.
Rush Defense
I love our D-Line, with Justin Smith and Ray-Mac anchoring the Line, and also Sopoaga taking up space 2 allow Willis and Bowman 2 come in and make a play on the RB, we do have a tough task against Philly though Ranked 2nd in the League in Rushing Offense
Niners Rush D stats
Rush yds - 3rd
Longest run - 2nd......13 yds
Yds per Attempt - T-1st
Yds per Game - 3rd
Pass Defense
I think like the passing offense, they will get better as the season goes on. They are obviously playing alot better than last year, and getting there hands in there 2 bat the ball down, with Shawntae and Dashon coming back, i think we can only get better at this point
Niners Pass D stats
Pass Yds - 16th
Yds per Attempt - 10th
QB Rating - 5th.....75.2
Comp % - T-6th
Turnover Difference

AES's business practices are A) Dishonest B) Unethical C) Irresponsible in handling Federal Funds, issuing loans without communicating with borrowers, giving ease to identity thieves D) Consider themselves untouchable, disregarding citizens rights by levying penalties and false claims, thus stealing money from people who never borrowed a penny from them, and E) Appear to be protected by the Federal Government!
AES is as corrupt as the infamous ACORN (reference Glan Beck). The similarities are appalling.
If there are any attornies reading this that have the skills neccessary to bring AES to justice, I have documentation and since I will make time, I am willing to take the theives to court. Believe me they don't want to go there or they would have taken me to court by now. Recently I read about the "Big Banks" responsible for the morgage mess resulting in the Federal Government "Bailout" were fined and penalized, the legal charge is "Reckless Lending." In my case and others, AES is at the very least guilty of "Reckless Lending" and should be brought to justice

A lady called me today to offer an insurance plan with a too good to be true price. I fell for it. It was to cost $139.95 a month with a registration fee of a similar amount. The rate was "promotional" but would never be raised as long as we continued making our monthly payment. She said the company New Health Choice PPO was non-profit, in business since 1935. A PPO, 80/20 with hospital benefits, vision and dental.
I gave her my family's info and the credit card to charge. Then we moved on to the recorded confirmation part where she read off statements that I had to either agree to or repeat after her. When she got to the part that the charges were non-refundable and this is not an insurance policy I asked her to give me some time as I had a few questions to research and I'll call her later. She said no problem and gave me her number 888-858-8180 and an extension number, telling me to leave her a message and she'd call right back.
I googled the company name and found info right here on ripoffreport.com that indicated this was no good. So I called, left a message, and she called right back. I asked several questions: 1- Will your company be able to provide me with a certificate of coverage? Answer-YES. (This is a lie. This plan is not an insurance policy so no coverage exists and therefore no certificate can be issued.) 2- Will my doctor be paid the 80% of his fees? She answered YES!
New Health Choice would not pay directly, but the doctor would be paid through Blue Cross or whatever network "popped up" when my membership card was swiped. This made no sense to me, so I proceeded with question 3- Can I see the plan details in writing or on some website? Answer- Sure. As soon as my fees are paid and membership processed I will receive within 24 hours an email with a temporary membership number and some info, and a welcome packet in the mail a short time later.
I told her that in this day and age I expected any reputable company to have a website with detailed information about their product or service. She became agitated and told me "You know what, I'll hold on to your application and when the promotion is over I'll send you pamphlets to review and then you'll pay 4-500 dollars for the same plan! I started saying that I wouldn't mind paying this much for legitimate health insurance but she didn't listen, just went on ranting and insulting me, saying that I was ignorant and several other unsavory things before slamming the phone down.
By now I knew this was a scam but I needed more info on the company in order to post the story. So I called the number again and tried several extension numbers. Not one of them were answered- they all went to voice mail. Apparently, that's how they screen calls to avoid difficulties. I couldn't find much online, either, so eventually I left a message and my call was returned by someone who claimed to be a supervisor. Only he wasn't sure which company I had called about.
During our conversation he mentioned New Health Choice PPO, Good Health, PPO Next, NBC Health and I believe one more which I missed. He repeated the same crap about 80/20 coverage, payments to the Dr. through blue cross, etc. then I asked for a website where I could review the details. At first he said it was for members only, to which I replied that I understand I wouldn't be able to log in but I would want to, at least, see the home page.
Finally he gave me the address as being NBCHealth.com.
I checked it out. Found that it was not as they told me, and figured out that it could not possibly pay. Here's what it says in handbook B, page 4, paragraph 5 under the heading Physician office visit 30% savings guarantee:
"Members must pay the contracted rate in full at the time of billing for the services. The guarantee only applies to network doctor office visits that have been paid in full with a total billed amount of less than $500.00 per visit. There is a maximum of 12 medical encounters per calendar year."
It goes on to say that if a member does not receive a 30% savings on the total physicians' usual billed charges, the member will be reimbursed the difference after following a whole set of instructions, as specified.
Let's do the math. 30% of 500 is 150. That's the maximum savings they will guarantee, limited to 12 times a year and only with in-network providers. They pay nothing to the physician, or to any other provider for that matter. There is an accidental death and dismemberment policy attached to the plan, but that's not available in NY. The whole thing stinks. It seems unlikely that anybody will ever benefit by buying this plan. What's certain is that their salespeople are liars and crooks who are scamming people. Beware!

My husband and I have been looking for AFFORDABLE health insurance for a short time (longer for my husband since he has been without insurance for almost 7 years). When Neisha (<
I asked her if she could give me a while to think about it since I needed to talk to my husband. She said she would call back when I was done with work. I then called my mom to talk to her about it and she said not to do it because it sounded like a scam. So I did some research and found the 4 articles on here and THANK GOD I DID!! Neisha called back that evening as soon as I was done with work and I just kept pushing ignore on my cell phone.
So I wanted to thank you all for your research and for posting about your unfortunate experience with this company. If it weren't for you, I would have bought this "insurance" and been scammed just like everyone else...There has to be something we can do to stop this company...
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

TELEVISION/RADIO; Getting To the Heart Of a Hero
By HAL HINSON
Published: January 27, 2002
IN the opening scene of the first episode of the new WB series ''Smallville,'' a young woman and her husband walk into a flower shop, where they meet a little girl dressed in a white gown, wearing homemade wings and a tiara and carrying a magic wand.
''Are you a princess?'' the woman asks.
''A fairy princess,'' the little girl answers, proudly. ''Would you like to make a wish?''
''Why yes,'' the woman says, taking the child's hand, ''I'd love to make a wish.''
As the woman makes her wish, the little girl touches her forehead with the wand and utters the word that has opened the door to so many fantastic adventures: ''Abracadabra.''
The couple, as it turns out, are Martha and Jonathan Kent, the parents of Clark Kent, a k a Superman. And the suggestion that the remarkable odyssey that is about to begin is the answer to a would-be mother's hopeful prayer -- and a small child's magical incantation -- is only the first example of sublime invention in a series well-stocked with surprises.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that ''Smallville'' is one of the few new shows this season to have attained breakout status. And according to Steve Sternberg, director of audience analysis with Magna Global USA, the success of ''Smallville'' is particularly significant for WB. Because of the damage done to the network's line-up when ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' packed up its bundle of pointy sticks and moved to UPN, he said, ''it is a hit at a time when the WB had to have a hit.''
Still, ''Smallville'' is worth attention for reasons that have nothing to do with ratings. While the show isn't quite as glossy as ABC's ''Alias'' and hasn't revolutionized the look of television drama the way Fox's ''24'' has, ''Smallville'' has something those shows don't have, something few shows aspire to and even fewer achieve.
What ''Smallville'' has is soul -- that, and an intuitive feel for the zeitgeist. Set in a Kansas town that advertises itself proudly as ''the creamed-corn capital of the world,'' ''Smallville'' peddles its own brand of classic all-American corn, which, when served with a pinch of teenage angst, a hint of paranormality and a fresh take on one of the most durable icons in pop culture history, makes an immensely satisfying meal.
The show, on Tuesday nights at nine, combines risk-taking originality with concepts that have worked well for the network on ''Dawson's Creek,'' ''Roswell'' and ''Buffy.'' It originated with Peter Roth, who, as president of Warner Brothers Television, had been working without much luck to create a ''prequel to the Batman saga.'' When that project fell apart, Mr. Roth reached back to an idea he had first tried to get off the ground when he was just starting as a television executive, at ABC in 1979.
''I had been working in children's programming, where we had had a success with a show called 'Super Friends,' '' he said. ''At the time, the F.C.C. mandated that the hour from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. had to be devoted either to news or to children's programming. So I suggested we try to develop a live-action show around the character of Superboy. Everybody thought it was a terrific idea, except for one small problem: the rights to the character were owned by Warner Brothers.''
Two decades, a handful of mergers and a change of studios later, Mr. Roth pulled his idea out of mothballs. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, a pair of writers whose calling cards, before this, were the films ''Lethal Weapon 4'' and ''Shanghai Noon,'' agreed to take a stab at the project, but on one condition: that they be allowed to ditch Superboy.
Both writers confessed that, before Mr. Roth approached them, their knowledge of comic books and superheroes was limited at best. But in the long run, Mr. Gough said, not being ''Superman nerds'' probably helped. ''If we had been die-hard fans from childhood, it might have been harder for us to take a fresh approach,'' he said.
The show is at its best when it's running playful riffs on the Superman mythos. One especially clever example of this occurs in the pilot, during a scene at Smallville High in which Clark (played with disarming humility by Tom Welling) tries to make contact with Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk), who, in addition to having been the little girl with the magic wand, is also the girl of Clark's dreams. Unfortunately, even the most innocuous encounter is destined to end in disaster -- not because of the bumbling shyness that is, traditionally, one of Clark Kent's more endearing trademarks, but because of the tiny, emerald-green chunk of kryptonite Lana wears around her neck as a reminder of her parents, who were killed in the meteor shower that accompanied Clark's arrival.
When Clark collapses at Lana's feet, his books scatter onto the ground, among them a copy of ''The Portable Nietzsche.'' By itself, this would be a nifty little in-joke. But as Lana returns the book, she demonstrates that, like all well-rounded Kansas teenagers, she is up on her 19th-century German philosophers. ''So which one are you,'' Lana asks, ''man or superman?'' ''I don't know,'' Clark sputters, still weak in the knees. ''I haven't figured it out yet.'' The concept that Superman's powers aren't fully operational from birth -- that they come into existence gradually as he moves into puberty -- didn't originate with ''Smallville.'' It was dreamed up first by John Byrne, the visionary Canadian artist and writer who was asked by DC Comics to update the Superman myth back in 1986. But Mr. Gough and Mr. Millar have taken the concept and made it the cornerstone of their series, and it gives Clark's situation a powerful sense of immediacy and discovery. In a scene in the pilot, Clark is hit by a Porsche going 60 miles an hour and knocked off a bridge into the river below. When he walks away without a scratch (after rescuing the driver), you feel as if you're seeing the transformation of a character take place before your eyes. The shock and surprise he feels -- and the sense of real panic -- are genuinely disturbing.

All last week I was playing Akimi Village on PSN before bed. On the weekend, at my friend's place, I played World of Keflings and finished the challenges for the week. I still wasn't at Megastar level and there were no more points to be had outside of buying games that had a connection to WOK, and so I played one more time just to try out a design idea I had.
Then I tried out the Minecraft demo and realized right away this was going to be good. I had to get a points card for my friend so we could play it co-op, and so I made plans for us to start it tomorrow and then moved on to Midway Arcade Origins.
I had already played MAO for fun and now I was going back in to play for achievements. There's a single player score attack mode for each game and different goals to get the achievement.
720, the skateboard game, was up first, but I couldn't get anywhere with that game. I was impressed with the game's design though. You navigate a world where you can buy upgrades to both shoes and board, and then buy tickets to different skate parks. When at a park, you have to get to a certain points goal to gain more tickets for other skate parks. If you take too long in the hub world, a demonic force chases you and says, "skate or die", until you get enough points for another ticket - most of the time I would die. I think with some practice I could get the achievement for this game, but for right now, I moved on to APB.
APB is a top down car game where you are a cop trying to make arrests. You have a cursor that extends out from your car, and if your sirens are on, and the cursor is on the target, you make an arrest. You also have to make pit stops to get more gas or donuts. I found steering your cop car around really difficult. I think the analog sticks are too sensitive because I kept spinning out. The original cabinet had a steering wheel and probably gave you better control over your car. Needless to say, I didn't get the achievement and moved on to Arch Rivals.
As soon as I started Arch Rivals I said, "oh, this is the inspiration for NBA Jam". The only things different from NBA Jam were: the lack of gravity defying, glass shattering, dunks; turbo speed running; a flaming basketball; and an over-the-top announcer. Scoring 6 consecutive points was a little tricky against the strong AI team, but I did it. It's a very fun game.
Bubbles was difficult only because I didn't know how to go after the big bugs. No matter how big you make your bubble, the bigger bugs will pop you. I found out by trial and error that you have to absorb the old lady sweeper and use her mop. When you sweep her up, the mop sticks out of your bubble a little bit. You just have to aim it directly at a bug and ram it. Then I got the achievement.
Championship Sprint reminded me of the even older game, Indy 800. You have a top down view of a track and drive a very small car around it. It took me a long time to get the knack of using the analog stick which is so sensitive, that even a slight twitch has your car spinning out. You have to win three races that get increasingly more difficult. I started to get the hang of it, but it became so frustrating trying not to spin out – which happens with the slightest touch of the stick - , that I just moved on.
Defender, Gauntlet and Gauntlet II all drove me batty, and I didn't get the achievement for any of them. Defender's enemies just seemed to dodge my every shot. I always hated the way you switch directions in that game. You're completely defenseless from behind, and so when you need to turn, because you're too close to an alien, you show your back and get blasted. Defender always just infuriated me. Gauntlet I and II are great in multiplayer, but single player is a total pain. There's always too many enemies to take out before you take out their spawn point.
I got the Pterodactyl in Joust for the achievement, but getting to level 5 in Joust 2 was just too hard this time around.
I got the 'defeat the beginner race within 15 seconds' achievement in Marble Madness on my first try. It was darn lucky because analog sticks do not replace a track ball. The game was always pretty tricky, but I remember getting a lot farther on the original cabinet.
Pit Fighter I had never played before. It's a one-on-one fighting game with characters rendered with FMV like the Mortal Kombat arcade game. You can pick up items to attack with, and if you get too close to the surrounding crowd, they push you back into the center. You have to win three consecutive fights, but it's really four because after two, there's a grudge match against yourself. There's four characters you can choose from that each have their own specialty. I tried each one and kept losing in the third main fight against a female character who was fast and uses a lot of items. Finally, I settled on the character whose specialty is speed and kicking and won the achievement. There's a little more to this game than button mashing, but it's no Mortal Kombat. I really liked it though.
Rampage was a pain and I gave up on it for now. I had some trouble getting my monster to grab a building. You had to approach it and aim up at just the right spot. I usually love Rampage, but this little finicky control issue drove me nuts.
Rampart I hadn't played before and found it to be really cool. I got the achievement to destroy the first three ships on the first turn on my first try. They don't give you enough time to reform your fortress though, which is annoying.
Robotron 2084's achievement goal was to rescue 7 family members without losing a life. It's not too hard and I got it after a few tries. I'm slowly warming to the twin stick shooter games even though they weren't my favorite back in the day.
Satan's Hollow was a new game to me and at first I couldn't figure out how to defeat Satan for the achievement. In between waves (that play just like Galaga) a Satan-like being shoots fire at you, and I destroyed it, but no achievement. Then I noticed these little bridge pieces on the bottom left of the screen. You can drag them to the far right where they make a bridge over a pit of flame. When you complete the bridge, you are taken to another screen and fight the real Satan. I got him and the achievement.
The last one I played last weekend was Sinistar, my favorite of the bunch. You have to defeat Sinistar for the achievement which is not impossible. You have to gather sinibombs by shooting asteroids – enough to destroy all the pieces of Sinistar - which seemed to be around 20. I've beaten Sinistar on the original arcade cabinet, so it shouldn't be too hard here either. I ran out of time before I got it though. Maybe next time Sinistar.
That night I finished Akimi Village and realized that the one of the trophies required that I clear the land of the curse to 100% before I finish the final two upgrades to the main gate. On first playthroughs I never look at achievements or trophies for fear of spoilers, but I wish I had for this one because it would have been very easy to complete. I thought it was especially unfair because now I would have to play the whole game (six hours worth) to get it. I'm not sure if I'll go back and play it again though, we'll see.
On Sunday, I got the points card for my friend and we both got Minecraft and started playing. It easily ate up the whole day and was incredibly entertaining. I think I avoided this game for a long time because of the pixelated graphics, but boy was I missing out, because this game has so much you can do in it. Basically the game is about gathering, harvesting, or mining for materials to build structures and craft items. There's no real goal outside of what you decide yourself, but I'm going after achievements for the most part. As Sunday passed and my Monday night gaming session ended, I was working on the 500m of track achievement and figuring out how you give power to the track. This game is endlessly amusing and fun. I'm having a blast with it!

I recommend Events Manager to many of my clients.
One such client has requested having an ical feed for their events.(particularly for outlook users, as it's a large segment of their member audience)
We've found that it is adding the events to the calendar, but it's double posting them into outlook. So if they sign up for event Y and then for event Z, they get two calendars in Outlook instead of two events posted on the same calendar.
Screen Shot: http://www.iidasw.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IIDA-outlook-multiple-calendars.jpg
I think I found something similar here in this post, but I'm not quite sure how to check/implement...
Can you please let me know what I need to do or fix to get these events to register on the same calendar if a user already has the feed in the calendar from downloading a past event?
Also, it would be nice if we could get some admin control over the buttons (I have to restyle them to match every time there's an update) or at least have the same style of look for both iCal and Google, since most would list both if they're listing them I think.
Thanks so much for the hard work, it's a great plugin.

My events calendar is here:
I used Default Events Template, because if I use any of my theme templates I have a problem with the main events page title (it uses the title of the first event on the list) and also with navigation buttons on the month, when there are no events (as described by someone here).
When I use Deafult Events Template I don't have any of the above mentioned problems. But on a single event view appear widgets, which I use with in a single post view - the problem is that the single event view is full width and the widgets appear below, which doesn't look good. Would it be possible to change the width of the single event view (but keeping the full width view of the calendar)? Just like I have it in my post view?

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- It was a scary sight as a utility pole lands in the middle of the road. Early this morning around 6:30 a.m. at 17 and Walnut, the Grand Junction Fire Department was called in by someone in the area that said they heard a pop.
Upon arriving to the scene, fire officials discovered a utility pole was lying in the middle of the road. They weren't sure if it had power attached to it or not and called utility companies to come out and check. Upon investigation, it was discovered the utility pole had cable and telephone lines on it and Excel Energy said the pole fell because the wood in the pole rotted away.
There were no injuries. The poles and wires are still laying in yards and driveways, but don't worry, they are not live electrical wires.

I was then told that I was supposed to cancel my service 90 days before my contract ended or it automatically renews for a year. I ask that they please grant my request to cancel since I was unable to use my system for a year and a half, and that I was more than willing to give a 90 day notice if need be. I was told that they would not allow me to cancel my service, and that I had not given them an opportunity to fix the problem. I argued that I had allowed them to come out to fix my problem 5 times and they were unable to solve my problem. This is more than an ample opportunity to get something fixed. I am very unhappy as they have failed to deliver a system that works for me, I have been paying for a system that I am unable to use, and now they are trying to make me pay for an additional year as opposed to allowing me to cancel now that my 3 year contract is up.
This company already has an unsatisfactory rating with the business bureau, and when I mentioned this, I was told that it was because people like me want out of their contracts and then complain to the bureau when they cannot do so. I am unhappy with not only the quality of service that I was given, but also with the way that I was treated as a customer.

Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Every thing was good keep doing what your doing the experience was great !!!!
My original reservation was at the st. Claude store. They gave my truck away and had nothing else to offer me. It was the 31st the last day I had to move my things to my new residence. She "found" me a truck an additional 25 minutes in the opposite direction that also cost me 50$ more than the truck I had originally reserved. Overall HORRIBLE experience.
The people at this location were so nice & helpful that I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Every Thing is Great
Excellent customer service overall
Unfortunately the computer system was down when I arrived. This caused my pick up to be delayed. It was no fault of the personnel, just the system.
I RENTED TRUCKS MANY TIMES WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ONE TIME I RETURN A TRUCK AFTER HOURS AND YOU RAPE ME FOR FUEL AND MILAGE DONT KNOW IF I WOULD EVER USE THE SERVICE AGAIN. Peter B.
The very good customer servicer
I reserved a truck online. When I got there they didn't have that truck available. I was called by another location and told I could pick up the truck. Unfortunately they didn't say they were calling from another location.
Lisa at the Chef Menteur store was excellent help.
The best location and staff. I don't care how far I have to drive when I move or my family moves, I always use this location. Not often do you find the manager as friendly as the rest of the staff but she is wonderful. They all are awesome!
The fuel charges and penalties are close to robery.
The customer services was good. But when I got home I noticed one of the tires had a gouge in the tread down to the chords a couple inches across. Neither had much tread left on them .
I didn't like the truck they gave me the truck was bouncing up and down. I was afraid that the whole front of truck was about to come off. I call the 504 number to do a complaint.
Everything was everything! Right on time!!
Mrs lisa is the best on michoud blvd in new orleans, Louisiana
I originally scheduled pickup at another uhaul location, but requested a trailer with bifold back doors in place of the roll up door. That manager contacted another site who then personally called me to set up an appointment. I was very impressed by the personal service. The new store was very busy during pickup day and we learned that an employee had been in a car accident and hadn't been able to make it in so they were short handed. They did a great job, I thought, for taking care of so many customers. There was a slight mixup when getting the trailer because the one I requested with bifold doors had come in the day before and had low tire pressure. I was given the one with the roll up door first, but again requested the bifold, since my cargo would not fit well with the roll up. He checked the tire pressure, and it had held up over night, so I was given the bifold doors.
Unfortunately, we had a blow out of one of the tires during the first leg of the drive. It happened at a perfect time during the road trip, and we were only delayed a few hours. When they were able to send someone to replace it, I had him check the remaining 3 and he replaced another. After removing it, it was quite dry rotted and had wear on the inside, like it had been on another trailer with ill-fit and all the words had been rubbed off by friction. I have to answer "no" to being well-maintained for this reason. These things may not have been in the employees control, however, and I did request a specific truck.
Everything with this location and reservation went well, but I had to cancel a reservation the previous day with a different location because no one from the store called to make a reservation with me. I was not contacted at all, but the store made a reservation for me. When I called U-Haul they told me that sometimes when you try to reserve a truck on the same day, they are unable to call you! By the time I called (almost 2 hours after I originally booked), it was past my reservation time, but no one had called me to tell me or ask me about a reservation. I ended up having to cancel my reservation because we were already late, and the location was a 20 minute drive from our house. The location wouldn't have been a problem if we would have actually known about the reservation. Maybe this was just a busy/bad day for the company, but it was definitely an inconvenience to us.
No improvement needed.. This by far was my BEST experience ever with Uhaul.. And my first time doing business with this particular location. The clerk was very sweet and very professional.
The rental agent was great but the agent who handled my return was not. The information he entered in the system was not correct and he would not change any of it
Continue the GREAT quality service and equipment
my experience with this location was excellent, and the employee I worked with explained things well and was very pleasant. FYI: no complaint just an observation, for safety concerns, there should be more than one employee working.

At first i hesitated becasue something did not sound right, I told him that i did not want anything to do with it and he insisted that there no hidden charges and thats it.
So being so desperate to start building credit i fell for it and gave in. I gave him my information and he assured me a credit card.
After 3 weeks i received a packet from them, it was a "How to repair your credit package". That was not what i agreed to buy, the guy assured me a credit card. The only thing that i founf in the packet being close to a credit card was a credit card application and a fee of $30.00 to apply. Notice that in our first phone conversation he said that the $300.00 was a one time only fee for the card.
I figured, "Hey i already spent $300.00 for a packet that i did not agree for, what is $30 more. So i sent in the application and till this day a month later have not received anything. I tried calling the company a couple days ago and the phone number is no longer in service.
