Plano Star-courier > News
Retiring legislators honored at luncheon
Kelsey Kruzich / Staff Photo: Allen Mayor Steve Terrell, right, presents state Sen. Florence Shapiro and state Rep. Jerry Madden with keys to the city.
By Bill Conrad,
on Twitter
Published: Saturday, November 3, 2012 12:13 AM CDT
As state Sen. Florence Shapiro and state Rep. Jerry Madden enter their final months in office, various groups and organizations have bestowed honors upon the longtime state legislators.
The latest to do so was the Plano Chamber of Commerce, which honored both at its quarterly luncheon Wednesday at Collin College's Spring Creek Campus.
Current and former elected officials took turns thanking the two for decades of service to constituents.
"The unique thing about both of these two people is they are outstanding conservatives and have done an outstanding job in Austin," said Allen Mayor Steve Terrell. "They have always had an open-door policy ... and have always listened."
Shapiro, a former teacher who has served in the state senate since 1993, was praised for her hard work on the state's school accountability and funding measures.
"[Because of her work] with us, we produced the first report card for higher education in the state of Texas, before it was required," said Dr. Cary Israel, president of Collin College. "... We thank her for having us do the right thing in terms of transparency and accountability. Deep down in her heart, she is an educator."
Current Dallas County Commissioner Maurine Dickey, a former Plano resident, said she was proud to call Shapiro a close friend. The two women met in 1974 and were founding members of the club now known as the Junior League of Collin County.
Dickey called Shapiro a natural leader who was able to successfully balance the job of being a full-time mother of three with her duties as an elected official. She also said Collin County residents are lucky to have officials such as Shapiro and Madden representing them.
"You all don't realize what you have here in Collin County," Dickey said. "You have a clean government and a conservative government. You have people who are politically active and are not apathetic."
Madden, who began representing portions of Plano and Allen in 1993, was given credit for his bipartisan efforts to reform the state correctional system.
Cynthia Wheless, 366th District Court Judge, oversees Collin County's juvenile justice system. She credited the West Point graduate for his work with juvenile offenders, noting that other states have modeled their juvenile justice systems after the one implemented under Madden's leadership.
"In the area of juvenile justice reform, Rep. Madden's leadership as chairman of the corrections committee is unparalleled," Wheless said. "... Under his guidance [Texas] took a broken system ... and replaced it with something that was smaller government, less money and more rehabilitation."
In a video message, House Speaker Joe Strauss also praised the work Madden has done in the Texas House.
"Jerry, you have given so much to your country and so much to your community through both the public and private sectors, through the U.S. Army, a successful business, and certainly through the Texas House," Strauss said. "... You have been a recognized leader in bringing innovative and forward-looking reforms to our criminal justice system that put the safety of our citizens first, while also controlling our prison population."
Plano Mayor Phil Dyer said both Shapiro and Madden have done more for their communities than just representing them in Austin. He pointed to Madden's work as president of the Collin County School Board, as well as Shapiro's work on the Plano City Council and with the Junior League.
"They have been great supporters of our community in many ways besides being stellar elected officials," Dyer said. "These two exceptional people are what the phrase 'public servant' really means. We have been most fortunate to have them working for us for all these years."
Shapiro and Madden will officially end their terms in office when new senators and representatives are sworn into office in January. Madden will be replaced by Plano resident Jeff Leach, while Shapiro's replacement will not be determined until Election Day. Republican Ken Paxton, Democrat Jack Ternan and Libertarian Ed Kless are vying for her seat.

Panasonic Bath Fans
About Panasonic Bathroom Fans
Panasonic offers a wide variety of bathroom fans that can accommodate every customer and any need there may be for ventilating a home.
The WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan makes loud ventilation a thing of the past. The Panasonic whisper fan is ingeniously built with a wide blower wheel, permanently lubricated motor, and unique condenser motor that allows the motor to run at a lower temperature, thus lengthening the life of the fan. The blower wheel is designed to draw air in from both sides, making for quiet and fast ventilation. This Panasonic bathroom exhaust fan is designed for long lasting operation with fine-tuned construction made to withstand, among other things, rust and time. This easy-to-install Panasonic bath fan also features a contoured grille that will blend effortlessly with your decor, making the Panasonic Whisper bath fan a wonderful addition to your bathroom.
The Panasonic WhisperWarm Super Quiet Bathroom Fan with Heater, Night Light, and Light offers the convenience of four units in one! With this Panasonic whisper fans ultra-quiet motor paired with exceptional ventilation and a powerful heater, it's possible for all bathrooms to have superior ventilation, heating, and light. This Panasonic bathroom exhaust fan uses a wide blower wheel to move a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. In addition, the wheel draws air in from both sides, making loud ventilation a thing of the past. This Panasonic bathroom exhaust fan is designed for long lasting operation with fine-tuned construction made to withstand, among other things, rust and time. The heating capabilities of the Panasonic whisper fan extend from its tubular, stainless-steel-sheathed heating element that features Nichrome wire with magnesium oxide for optimal heat transfer and electrical insulation at elevated temperatures. The two 13-watt compact fluorescent lamps provide overhead lighting along with a 4-watt night light. Perfect for your bathroom, this Panasonic exhaust fan for bathrooms will bring years of functionality and warmth.
Panasonic Whisper bath fans are designed for multiple-task ventilation. This means that you can ventilate multiple areas or multiple rooms with just one Panasonic bath fan. For example, you can place inlets over the shower, tub, toilet and/or vanity in a single bathroom and still use just one Panasonic bath fan. In recent years, homes have become more airtight and energy efficient. While this lowers the cost to heat and air-condition a home, it also retains pollutants that can be hazardous to its occupants. One way to improve the air quality of the home is through whole-house ventilation with a Panasonic Whisper fan, which removes "stale" air and provides fresh air on a slow, continuous basis.
This Panasonic Whisper in-line fan can be installed in five different positions and joist, truss and suspension brackets are included to help make your installation as easy as possible.

How to Select
How to Select a Bathroom Fan
Selecting the proper bathroom fan for your application is important to maximize the lifespan of the fan and parts.
Deciding which manufacturer to purchase from is important. Often times, manufacturers use different quality parts based on the given price point. Economy grade fans may use less durable parts and may have a slightly shorter lifespan. Whereas, higher end models typically are quieter, last longer, and have more power.
CFM Rating:
The CFM rating refers to Cubic Feet per Minute. This is the volume of air that is moved by the fan during a 60 second period. The CFM rating is important in case you are installing the fan in an area requiring quick ventilation, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Bathroom fans that have a higher CFM rating will be able to remove smoke and steam much faster than less powerful fans. For small areas such as single bathrooms, a 50-100 CFM fan will suffice, however, for kitchen applications, for large bathrooms, or steam rooms, higher power models are recommended.
Fan Types:
At Westside Wholesale, we sell many types of fans based on your preference. Combination bathroom fans include features such as night light, heaters, and humidity sensors depending on your needs.
Bathroom fans come in several ratings of noise level from Standard to Super Quiet. The output noise level is rated in Sones, to give a accurate measure of what to expect from your fan. Super Quiet bath fans can reach a Sone level as little as <0.3 Sones. At this level, the fan is virtually silent and produces less than 1/3rd the noise of a running refrigerator. The Sone level has a direct impact on the price point of the fan, meaning that less expensive fans typically generate more noise.
Installation Application:
If your application is a retrofit, than it is important to make sure the dimensions of the fan you select match the dimensions of the fan to be replaced to reduce rough in time and effort. It is also important to know if the fan is hardwired or if it has a standard outlet plug.
Duct Size:
Most bath fans use a 4" duct to output the air from the fan. If you are replacing a bathroom fan, you will want to check the exiting duct size that is being used by your ventilation system to reduce further modifications. If your exiting duct size is limiting the amount of air flow through your system, you may consider using a larger diameter duct to reduce air pressure in your system.

Nothing warms the soul — and impresses friends — like a melty pot o' fondue (preferably served with strawberries). Best part: You need only a few ingredients and ten minutes.
Need more to satisfy your sweet tooth? Check out our video recipes for devil's food cake, marshmallow icing, and hot cocoa. For other great ideas from Rachel Thebault, preorder her book (out October 26).
If a little bourbon and ice cream go a long way, imagine what a lot of each can do. In today's In the Kitchen video, Jeni Britton Bauer from Ohio-based pint phenomenon Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has a recipe for a cherry-filled Manhattan float that makes dreams come true.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home cookbook is available at amazon.com, $13. For more information or to order pints, go to jenis.com. To keep cooking, check out our video recipes for a mojito sundae with Bauer, ginger cookies with Michael Chernow, and breakfast tacos with Elizabeth Karmel.
Sometimes you wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy. Other times you open your eyes just wide enough to watch Game of Thrones in bed for seven hours.
Either way, breakfast tacos fuel your daily goals. In today's In the Kitchen video, Hill Country's Elizabeth Karmel shows us how to make them.
Using ingredients like avocado, pimiento cheese (which we also have the recipe for), and hot sauce, it's obvious Karmel is in the right business. If you've never been to her Texas-inspired restaurants in NYC, they are, in a word, amazebrilldelishawesome.
Karmel's taking a brisket version of her masterpiece on the road this Saturday night as part of the Austin Food & Wine Festival's Rock Your Taco Celebrity Chef Showdown. If you're in ATX, you. must. go.
Just don't brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack beforehand.
For more information on Karmel, go to hillcountryny.com. Hungry for more? Check out our videos on fish tacos with Sam Talbot, burgers with Daniel Boulud, and ginger cookies with Michael Chernow. Learn more about the fest online at austinfoodandwinefestival.com.
Chips and salsa are overrated. (Yes, we said it.) Switch up your snack routine with Hill Country chef Elizabeth Karmel's pimiento cheese recipe. The Southern classic tastes great on almost everything (like breakfast tacos), and all you need are four simple ingredients. An empty stomach and serious cheese addiction help, too.
For more information on Karmel, go to hillcountryny.com.
According to Stefon, New York's hottest club has Sherpas, kittens, fat Steve Urkels, Gummi Bear kisses, and Germfs (German Smurfs).
If we're going to wait in line, we'd rather there be good food, drinks, and atmosphere at the end of it. That's why we're crazy about Super Linda, the new two-level, South America-inspired hotspot in Tribeca from guys whose joint resume includes The Beatrice Inn, Cafe Habana, and La Esquina.
For today's video, we asked chef John Martinez (Tiny's) for something we can whip up in our kitchen in the meantime. He suggested his never-before-shared, surprisingly simple recipe for shrimp balls with spicy salsa de Arbol. In a word: perfection.
We ate five in one sitting, even though the serving size is generally three.
It really answers the question, "Whaaaaaaat?"
Super Linda, 109 West Broadway, between Duane and Reade Streets, Tribeca (212-227-8998). Think you missed something in the video? Here's the full recipe.
It's nothing to laugh about: Doritos addictions are real. One whiff of nacho cheesiness and, suddenly, you're at four (snack) packs a day.
Time for an intervention. In today's video, nutritionist Kimberly Snyder gives us something to aspire to by showing us what's in her home fridge — and why. Since she specializes in beautifying foods, each item she stocks (from kale to almonds) has qualities that improve hair and/or skin.
Plus, she reveals her recipes for a Greek-inspired millet salad and her favorite protein smoothie, as well as instructions for what she calls "energy in a spoon."
We're thanking our lucky stars for Snyder, who works with too many celebs to name, because the how-tos and advice in her book, The Beauty Detox Solution, have done more for our skin than pricey face creams.
She's way cooler than Cool Ranch.
The Beauty Detox Solution is available online at amazon.com, $11. For more nutrition tips, recipes, and information on Snyder, go to kimberlysnyder.net.
We've all pounded a rib-eye in the name of getting more protein. Opt for a healthier alternative: an easy-to-make smoothie, courtesy of nutritionist Kimberly Snyder. The recipe calls for a beautifying blend of chia seeds, hemp protein, banana, and almond milk, and takes only five minutes to prepare.
Buy Snyder's book, The Beauty Detox Solution, online at amazon.com, $11. For more nutrition tips and recipes, go to kimberlysnyder.net.
Turns out, bee pollen isn't just for buzzing insects. According to nutritionist Kimberly Snyder, it's chockful of beautifying vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. In this quick video, she demos how she likes to take it for an instant boost of energy. (Note: If you're allergic to pollen, please don't eat it.)
To order bee pollen, go to whiteoakapiary.com. Buy Snyder's book, The Beauty Detox Solution, online at amazon.com, $11. For more nutrition tips and recipes, go to kimberlysnyder.net.
When we first heard of millet, we thought it was birdseed. Turns out, it's delicious, full of protein, gluten free, and filling. Here's one way nutritionist Kimberly Snyder prepares it — perfect for a packed lunch.
Greek-Inspired Millet Salad
Serves four to six
2 c. dry millet
¼ c. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. minced shallot
2 tsp. dried oregano

Kate Moss says nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, but we beg to differ. The time-honored recipes our families pull out during the holidays are more than worth a little jiggle.
For today's videos, we share a few of our favorites. Editor Lauren Lumsden's mom, Mary Lou, makes the tastiest blueberry cobbler at her celebration in Roanoke, Virginia. Senior editor Karen Palmer's dad, George, is known for the anchovy and olive spaghetti he produces at his Chester, New Jersey, Feast of the Seven Fishes. And Everywhere editor Tiffany Davis's mom, Ninette, serves an unreal broccoli and cheese casserole at her group's get-together down in Atlanta.
Each dish is extremely easy, delicious, and — we'll just say it — delightfully unhealthy. Did we mention Ninette's casserole is basically cheese with a little bit of broccoli?
God help the models who watch.
Get the full cobbler recipe. For more family holiday meal goodness, watch the video New York editor Jordan Blumberg made last year featuring her mom's champagne fruit salad.
When DailyCandy's Everywhere editor, Tiffany Davis, was growing up in Atlanta, her mom couldn't get her to even look at a vegetable — until she made this casserole. The dish is basically mac 'n' cheese with broccoli and rice instead of noodles. Brilliant.
Every year at senior editor Karen Palmer's Feast of the Seven Fishes, her dad, George, makes a huge platter of this simple pasta. The recipe's been passed down through generations yet keeps tasting better. Don't worry, anchovy haters: It's barely fishy at all; garlic is the predominant flavor.
We like to think we're mature enough to resist an obvious double entendre when it presents itself.
But when talking about the new cookbook from the guys behind New York's popular Meatball Shop restaurants, we seized the opportunity by the balls. The meatballs, to be exact.
For today's videos, we asked chefs Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow to make three simple recipes from The Meatball Shop Cookbook, all perfect for holiday feasting: Gobble Gobble turkey meatballs (above), kabocha squash salad, and ginger cookies.
They also demo'ed a great-for-wintry-nights port toddy that's not in the book — we just felt like drinking during the shoot. A ballsy move? Perhaps.
At least one of the chefs isn't a Schweddy.
Get the meatballs recipe. The Meatball Shop Cookbook is available online at amazon.com, $28.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Too dangerous. Jack Frost nipping at your nose? No, sir. We'd rather get in the holiday spirit with The Meatball Shop's recipe for ginger cookies, as demo'ed by chef Michael Chernow.

Sometimes, on a cold winter's night, you need something to warm you up. Sometimes, on that same night, you're stuck at a holiday dinner next to your aunt who asks fourteen times why you aren't married. Here's a drink from chef Michael Chernow to help you get through.
Get the recipe. Buy The Meatball Shop Cookbook online at amazon.com, $28.
Thanks to this recipe, we're starting a campaign to make kabocha the new acorn or butternut. It's just as delicious, you don't have to peel it, and it's chef Daniel Holzman's favorite. We think it squashes the competition (sorry, couldn't resist).

Any reality TV junkie knows that the test of a good chef is what he can create using only ingredients from a convenience store. (Krispy Kreme bread pudding, anyone?)
With that in mind, we asked the chefs at Chuko, the new ramen restaurant opening tonight in Prospect Heights, to show us what they could do with the 99-cent version you ate in college. We also threw in a Pathmark-prepared rotisserie chicken for fun.
Once you watch (and make it for yourself in the five minutes immediately afterward), imagine what the Morimoto-trained chef/owners — Jamison Blankenship, James Sato, and David Koon — do with real ramen on their small but perfect menu.
Then dream about the gyoza with ponzu dipping sauce, fried green tomato buns with pickled onion and tofu dressing, and homemade ice cream sandwiches.

Lyrics to "Thank You for Being a Friend"
(Slightly revised.)
Thank you (Big Gay Ice Cream) for being a friend.
Traveled down the road and back again (in your beloved little ice cream truck).
Your heart is true (why else would you open a store in early August so we could enjoy you anytime without stalking your Twitter feed to find out the truck's whereabouts?).
You're a pal and a confidant (we could hang out with your charming owners, featured in today's video, all day).
And if you threw a party (your crazy toppings, like wasabi dust, pumpkin butter, spicy pistachios, and toasted coconut make every day a fiesta),
Invited everyone you knew (after all, you're going to be selling treats from your pals, like Danny Macaroons, Treats Truck, and La Newyorkina),
You would see the biggest gift would be from us (nah, the mural on your wall of a unicorn wearing a Bea Arthur pendant is the best gift of all. That, and your homemade sauces and milk shakes.)
And the card attached would say, "Thank you for being a friend." (Enough said.)
Big Gay Ice Cream, 125 East 7th Street, between First Avenue and Avenue A (212-533-9333 or biggayicecream.com). For the exact opening date, follow @biggayicecream on Twitter.

Are you sure you want to do this?
First, let me say two things; I have 40 years experience in the hospitality industry and I tried to resolve this privately on their business website.
On 18 May I arrived at 4:30 with 4 other members of a party of 6 for a 5PM reservation. The missing person had made the reservation on line. Knowing we were early we mentioned to the Hostess that we were just coming in out of the chill and we'd be happy to wait in the bar. Instead the Front manager took charge of the situation and gruffly informed us that we were early and he'd see what he could do in a manner that clearly indicated that he wasn't happy for the disruption of the schedule. If I had made the reservation we would have left without further comment. Instead we waited for our host and were blessed with decent food and a wonderful server. Her attitude, patience and enthusiasm was almost enough to take the sour taste from our mouths but she almost didn't get the chance.
No one...cooler heads prevailed.
Just acknowledge that they have heard me and reply to this, my second attempt to communicate an issue that any manager/owner would want to know about.

In early April, 2013 my boyfriend Paul received an online offer to upgrade his Samsung Galaxy III T-Mobile phone to the iPhone5 for a promotional rate of $99 plus tax and shipping (total of $144). As an early birthday gift to Paul, I offered to pay the promotional rate for the upgrade. Paul and I accepted the promotional offer on T-Mobile's website and used my debit card to pay the upgrade cost. After the order was submitted, a confirmation page was displayed that advised that the order was processed and a sum of $623.67 would be deducted from my bank account. This is a sum that was never displayed or authorized during the ordering process. Paul and I immediately called T-Mobile to cancel the order. The representative that we spoke with apologized for the mistake and assured us that the order had been cancelled. He then advised us to reprocess the order and confirmed that it processed correctly for $144.
The next day, we called T-Mobile to double-check that the initial order for the incorrect amount had been cancelled. The customer service representative that they spoke to this time advised that the second (correct) order had been cancelled and the first (incorrect) order had been processed. They representative told us that he could not stop the order and said that we should refuse the delivery of the phone and that the full amount of $623.67 would be returned my bank account when T-Mobile received the phone back.
The amount of $623.67 was deducted from my personal banking account on April 12, 2013. I immediately approached my bank to file a dispute, but was informed that the issue would need to be resolved by T-Mobile. Neither Paul nor I were home when the phone was delivered by UPS, so could not immediate refuse it. When we collected the package from UPS, we immediately paid to have it returned with signed confirmation upon receipt to T-MOBILE in the original, unopened container. The package was shipped to T Mobile, 4500 Cambridge Rd, Fort Worth, Texas, 76155 UPS sent confirmation to both Paul and I that the iPhone 5 was delivered to T Mobile, received and signed for by the Receiving Dock and left at dock at 10:00 AM on April 30, 2013.
After a week without any contact from T-Mobile about the issue, I called customer service on Tuesday, May 7th and spoke with a service representative from Maine, named Katie. Katie offered to send a HANDSET RESEARCH FORM to the shipping dock so that the phone could be located and that a refund would be issued to my bank account. On Friday, May 10th, at 3:00 PM EST, Katie called me and advised that the receiving dock had not responded to her form submission, and she scheduled to call me back at 2:00 PM EST on Monday, May 13th. At 2:45 PM EST on Monday, May 13th, I still had not received a call back from Katie, so I called T-Mobile customer service again and was informed by another customer service representative that the Receiving Dock replied that they did not have the phone. The customer service representative suggested that I fax a letter and copies of the UPS delivery confirmation and bank statement showing T-Mobile's withdrawal of $623.67 to the Customer Relations fax line (813-348-5763). Waiting on a response and my refund until Friday. If no response by then, proceeding with legal action.
Too many customer service representatives and managers to name
Find the phone that the receiving dock signed received and refund my money
I ordered Mother's Day flowers to be delivered on May 9. I picked this early date just in case the mail was running slow as usual. See pictures below for what I ordered vs. what my mom received. The pictures of what she received were taken day 1 by the way.
Someone from the company who could barely speak English of course
She said that they would redeliver the arrangement free of charge on May 14 (which is after mother's day)...I have yet to receive an email conf. about that by the way. She also said I would receive a $20 gift card to use with them. As if I want to return.
Great service!

On May 6th, 2013 I decided to give Bill's Car Wash a try after receiving a coupon in the mail. My conclusion after the experience? Completely not impressed. And what's worse, after posting a complaint about my experience on their Facebook page, they deleted the comment within MINUTES of it being posted and then they blocked me. I now know why the only comments on their Facebook page are all positive. Instead of addressing complaints, they delete and bury them. Below is my personal experience with this company:
I received a "Free Platinum Car Wash" coupon in the mail after moving into a new place. I thought "Wow! A free $26.00 car wash with no strings attached. That's pretty awesome!"
So yesterday (May 6th 2013) I decide to redeem my awesome coupon. I recently bought a new car and honestly, it's hardly had a chance to get dirty, but it is love bug season here in Florida, we've had a lot of rain recently and it's been 3 weeks since I drove the car off the lot so I thought I'd take advantage of this free car wash and get her back to new.
The initial attendant tried to up sell the Platinum wash to a more expensive service. He seemed annoyed when I declined this offer. I told him the Platinum service was really more than I need and that what was offered within the scope of the coupon would be plenty. I then waited approximately 30 minutes until the car was finished. I didn't do a real inspection because 1) I didn't want to be rude, 2) It was free & 3) Upon an initial glance it looked fine. Upon driving off the lot I started looking around and thought "they didn't do anything." There were several indications that supported this. 1) There were still specs of dirt/lint/dust on the seats, 2) None of the interior looked like it had been wiped down, 3) the 2 umbrellas I had in the back seat had never even been moved, they were in the exact same place as when I pulled in and 4) the ultimate give away that they did nothing? The 3 empty Splenda packs still in the driver's side door cubbie were still there. After I got home and out of the car I check the outside. The tires barely looked "shined." I basically "got what I paid for." Oh, wait, I did get a free air freshener swatch. I only had to drive several miles out of my way and wait 30 minutes to get it. I actually went to the store and BOUGHT car cleaning products and cleaned my own car AFTER it was PLATINUM cleaned. This really is not acceptable.
The whole purpose of giving away these free offers is to build a relationship with the customer in the hopes they will come back. Well, major fail on the part of Bill's Car Wash and Detailing service in Sanford, Florida. In my opinion two things happened here. 1) My car was pretty darned clean when I took it in so they figured if they did nothing it would not be noticed. They were mistaken in this assumption. 2) The car wash was free and they couldn't up sell the service, so they put no real effort into cleaning my car. Ultimately, the reason I am writing this complaint is because they deleted my straight forward complaint on their Facebook page. That is cowardly and no real way to do business. One can only wonder how many other complaints they have received that never see the light of day. In conclusion, I will not go back to this establishment.
Left a complaint on their Facebook page which was deleted.
I don't think they can. They are a horrible, unscrupulous company.
I have had Comcast for over 15 years in Pennsylvania with little to no issues. I recently moved near the Atlanta area and have spoken to Comcast more in 2 weeks than in the entire 15 years of my service with them. The customer service has been horrible, and the actual performance has been just as horrible. I will say the the technicians that came to my home (both times) were courteous and did a great job.
Give better and more informed customer service to your customers. Do not withhold information such as fees, do not bombard me with reminder calls about my appointment but yet the technician shows up late. (As of this posting, Comcast has finally credited me for all of my issues, but it has to go on next month's bill!) Go figure.
Love this place!
After 10 years of being a member, and after having caused two friends to sign up a # of years ago (I quit recommending the club, though, 4 yrs ago), I've had enough of the slow decline of what used to be a very good club. Most recent issues: Locker combos often not working, security keys broken (for locking up valuables), showers being either very weak or fire-hose strong, such bad water at times in the pool that it stinks of chlorine and is opaque, low-class/vulgar individuals let in as guests who yell and holler and utter profanities as if they're in a nasty playground, and now the clincher: playing teeny-bop music in parts of the club, like the 5th fl weight room, loud enough that you can't listen to your own iPod. It used to be that everyone listened to their own choice of music -- I don't push my classical, jazz or tango on others, why should they push their tacky disco on me? The manager says the CEO decided to have music. The CEO can now have my resignation. P.S. Beware of the annual increases in fees if you're thinking of joining.
E Tooley, Manager
Fix the problems noted above, and get the club back to where it was about 5 years ago.
Where to begin?
In November 2012, the United Roofing salesman, Eric Antos, quoted the job and collected a down payment. We should have trusted our gut at this point. Eric said that he was the managing partner of United Roofing and was running day to day operations for Mark Harrison, the owner, who had been ill but was recuperating. Eric insisted that we make the check payable to him, rather than United Roofing. The reason was that Mark was in the hospital and by making sure he could cash the check they could start work. It sounded fishy and we were stupid to have continued along.
The start of the job was then delayed because it turned out that Eric was stealing money from the company. So, he was fired and, I suppose, Mark was hard up for cash to start our job. I never once spoke to Mark. He would only text me. I told him in no way would I be held responsible for Eric stealing his money (I don't know for sure that he stole ours anyway), and Mark agreed that it was not our responsibility.
Regardless, the work began. The crew who showed up was nice enough and seemed to work hard. However, the job dragged on and on. Meanwhile, my next door neighbor had his roof ripped and replaced by another company in two days. The reason ours took so long was that some of the crew stopped showing up for work. Perhaps they knew more than I did at that point.
Eventually the job was completed. However, Mark refused to provide the paperwork I needed to complete my claim with my insurance company. My adjuster was kind enough to take my word for it and complete the process. Mark's crew messed up my DirecTV satellite dish and I had to pay DirecTV to come and fix it. I asked Mark about covering the cost of this service call. Not only did he not pay, he didn't even acknowledge it. Lastly, I requested that extra shingles be left with me in the event that I needed to make repairs down the road - none were left.
Fast forward to April 2013. My new roof that is under a lifetime shingle warranty and 10 year labor warranty has water pouring into my garage during the first hard rain. I immediately called Mark. Of course, he only texted a reply. It's been over two weeks now and Mark has still not shown up at my house to look at his faulty work, nor has he returned many calls. He will only text, but usually 36 hours after I text him and only to give me another excuse of why he hasn't shown up.
We are exploring legal action and will update this review in time.
Avoid this company like the plague.
Mark Harrison
Honor the warranty. Come to my house, fix my NEW roof and repair the damage done to my garage by their shoddy work.
I bought a netbook on 10/2012. It came with a year warranty from Acer. I attempted to have a problem resolved and was told by the website that the netbook is no longer under warranty. I have a receipt to prove to them when I bought it but there is no way that I can talk to anyone regarding this now. I was told to submit the receipt and wait for an email from the company. They didn't wait to take my money so why should I have to wait for them to fix their error.
I am now being forced to go out and buy a Window installation disc and external DVD player so that I can have an operational computer instead of waiting to hear from someone.
I chatted with a Tech from another country.
Since I have had to incur additional cost to fix my computer. I would like to be compensated somehow. An extended warranty past the one year that I bought it or some type of free software (Office 2013 for example) would appease me.
I contacted Dish Network in late November 2012 to get an explanation of the increase to my bill. The person that I spoke with could not clearly explain the reason. I called back early in December 2012 to inquire about cancelling service. When I asked how much the termination fee would be I was told it would be $400-$500 dollars. I had already investigated this and based on internet searches, Dish charged around $17/ month for the remainder of your contract. When I questioned the lady about this she told me that I was wrong, so I asked to speak to someone else. She connected me with someone in customer loyalty and retention. He apologized for the previous portion of the call and told me that given the time I had remaining on the contract my termination fee would be around $192. I agreed with that. I had already contacted AT&T to start U-Verse services in a week. Part of the new service with AT&T was a $200 gift card for new services. I planned on using this to pay for the termination fee.
I was told that I would be receiving boxes to ship the equipment back in. After shipping the boxes back, I received a bill in the mail in January for $34. At this point, I could no longer log into my Dish account online to find out what the charges were for so I called in. I was told that charge was for the return shipping of the equipment. I explained to the person that I wasn't told that I would be responsible for paying for the shipping. He apologized and told me that he would take care of the charges. I also inquired about any other charges, i.e. how to pay them, and was told that "I had fulfilled my obligation to Dish Network."
I have since received phone calls and bills from Dish regarding the termination fee. Every time that I spoke with someone regarding this issue they all agreed that they saw the notes regarding the conversation in January, but that I shouldn't have been told that. I have since received a letter and phone calls from a collection agency regarding my Dish Network account.
I called Dish back on April 16, 2013 to again address this issue. The first agent I spoke with put me on hold to research the issue and the call was disconnected. When I called back I reached a different agent who asked for my information "so that she could better serve my needs". When she asked me why I was calling in today I started the story back in November of last year. As I'm recounting the story I notice the music is playing and then another agent named Elizabeth asked how she could help me. I started over and explained the situation for her. She told me that there was absolutely nothing that could be done to forgive or change the cost of the termination fee. I asked her if she thought this was "great customer service". I then asked her why the termination fee was now $210.31 and not the $192.50 that I agreed to in December of 2012. She said that was due to taxes on the original fee. When I told her that my biggest complaint was that I had continuously been told one thing then told something else. I told her I didn't think that was very customer friendly. She then told me that she would adjust the termination fee total to reflect the original $192.50. This was just minutes after telling me that there was absolutely nothing that could be done to adjust or waive the termination fee in any way.
I then asked to speak to her supervisor. Chris then got on the line and after telling him my side of the story. He too told me that they could not adjust the fees. He said that he was sorry that I did not agree with the policy. When I told him that I would have find another way to express my displeasure, he replied sorry you feel that way and have a nice day. He offered not further explanation.
Thank you,

Substantially discount or waive the termination fee
This company misinforms it's customers. I placed an order 20 days ago that I was told would ship out in 7 days. Yesterday I was told it would ship out that day, and today I am told it will not be shipped out for another 8 days. If it an item is not in stock they should show it as such on their website. I am very disappointed!

Get my order processed in a reasonable amount of time.
I have had the absolute worst experience with your company, to the point that I am ready to shop elsewhere for insurance. I have been a violation and accident-free customer for GMAC since 2009. I chose GMAC for the discounts, the rates, and the pleasant attitude of the representative with whom I spoke on the phone. I used to recommend your company to anyone looking to switch insurance companies or when purchasing a car.
On March 18th, I was driving home with my three-year-old son when I lost control of my vehicle on an icy road. Fortunately, no one was hurt; I did manage to obliterate some mailboxes. Looking at the pictures from the scene of my accident, it is a miracle that, when I looked into the back seat, I didn't see my son's door crumpled on top of him, as my tire tracks head directly for a telephone pole. This appears to be the only blessing that I have received during this entire ordeal.
It is now April 15th and I am still driving a rental car. So far, I have paid $459.25 for my rental car, and there is a balance owed of $110. Although my policy covers the cost of my rental, I opted for the damage waiver. Originally, I was not going to have to pay my deductible through the program at the shop at which my car is being worked on. My adjuster, Cindy Allender, was not satisfied with the original estimate, and hired an independent appraiser to do a secondary estimate. That was completed, and she approved it and sent the check to me, less the $500 I have to pay as a deductible. I am aware that GMAC has nothing to do with the deductible being waived; however, since she denied the first estimate, I have to pay it now.
I have been working in the customer service field for fifteen years, and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the service that I have received is anything but satisfactory. I have had to initiate all contact beyond the original claim filing just to get an update on my vehicle; the adjuster's responses have been curt to the point of being rude, misleading and uninformative. She has the phone personality of a Sasquatch, and the manners to match. My initial phone conversation with her didn't give me a very good impression of the company--since all of her actions represent GMAC as a whole--but I went with it. On 3/21 I emailed the adjuster "I received the estimate from the body shop; I'm not sure if you have had time to review it. Do you have the ability to see if there are body shops in the Westminster, MD 21157 or Finksburg, MD 21048 areas with which GMAC works?". Her response was "We are hiring an appraiser to go out and inspect your vehicle." To my knowledge, that was not what I asked, nor did it answer my question. No salutation, no "thank you for your inquiry", no "If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know", nothing like that. I let it go, however, as at this point nothing majorly unsatisfactory had happened, aside from her poor representation of the company. I emailed the next day to inquire as to how much my policy covered on my rental vehicle, and although this time the question was answered, the answer was as curt as the previous one. On March 27th, I emailed "Good morning! Is there an update on my claim status or with my car? Thank you!". Please note that this is a week after I was told an independent appraiser was being hired to do an estimate on my vehicle. "HI Ms. Bachman, The only update I have is when Enterprise gets one from the shop and updates the computer. The last update was today. The shop had not begun repairs yet as they are waiting on parts. You can also get an update from the shop at anytime you would like. Their phone is (410) XXX-XXXX." This reads--no matter how you spin it--that my car is about ready to be worked on, which means that the appraisal was approved. When I emailed the shop manager, Bill Sprague, for the update she suggested, he called me to inform me that he had no idea what I was talking about, as he hadn't heard from the appraiser nor the adjuster. I emailed the adjuster: "Ms. Allender, I just received a call from Bill Sprague at Heritage Collision. I emailed him for an update on my car, and he said that he has no clue what I am talking about. He has not received word from the appraiser or from you advising what is being done. He also has not received a copy of the appraiser's estimate, and hasn't heard from them. What is needed at this point to get the ball rolling so that we can get all of this straightened out?". Her response was "Ms. Bachman, The appraiser was at the shop yesterday. We are awaiting the estimate from the appraiser. I have talked with Bill at the shop as well. As soon as the appraiser forwards the estimate, then we can move forward. Thanks." This is in direct contradiction to what she told me in her previous email--if you haven't heard from the appraiser, how exactly is it that the shop is waiting on parts to get repairs started??
I emailed her on 4/5 and advised her that, due to the ridiculous amount of time that it took for just a simple estimate to get done, I expected to be compensated for the fees I was paying for my rental car. She never responded. After waiting over a week for any type of communication from her, I finally called the company, and when asked by the first representative with whom I would like to speak, clearly stated that I wished to speak with anyone but her. I then spoke with Joy, who attempted to transfer me to Jeffrey Rowe, who is supposedly a supervisor. When that transfer was unsuccessful, Joy advised me that she would send and email about my call to the escalations department, specifically requesting a call back from a supervisor, and that I would receive said call within two hours. After twenty minutes, I received a call from my adjuster. I'm relatively certain that I had asked not to speak with her, since I had received the poorest of services from her to begin with. When I answered the phone, she was blunt and the oppostie of forthcoming, as if I should know exactly why she was calling. As she has never been informative, I didn't exactly expect her to be pleasant or tell me why she was calling to begin with.
I explained the situation to her, and several times I was interrupted. She advised me, and I am very aware, that the damage waiver is an optional item that I have appended to my rental and GMAC is not obligated to pay for it; however if my car had been appraised, approved, and repairs started in a timely manner, I wouldn't have to pay as much for it. I was rear-ended in 2006 and had to have the entire back end of my Jeep replaced, and it was done just over the same amount of time that it's taken for the estimate on this car to be done. When I advised Ms. Allender that I chose the damage waiver because Enterprise could file a claim on just about anything that happens to that vehicle (even if it's something minor like shampooing the carpets) and then I'd have to pay ANOTHER $500 deductible, she said "well maybe you need to weigh the cost and benefits of the insurance waiver against what you might have to pay as a deductible." Excuse me?? I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I've already done this, which is why I chose the waiver--and I also didn't think it would take a month just to get the repairs started on my vehicle. Not only that, but I am a paying customer, and you are the company that is obligated to provide services to me, not direct me on the choices that I make, nor speak to me in such a demeaning and derogatory tone. I specifically asked twice to have my request escalated to a member of management if she was not going to do it, and she ignored it both times--she completely kept on talking like I never said it to begin with.
I do not want to think that this experience with GMAC is what their company considers standard; however that appears to be the case. I can only draw this conclusion from the blase way Ms. Allender has conducted herself, and by the way that, after asking to speak with a supervisor, she was told to call me anyway. I can't get a resolution, I will search for a different insurance provider at my earliest opportunity.

Compensate me for the total fees of the damage waiver on my vehicle.
Dear Google Translate,
I just wanted to say Thank YOU to the genius that created this option! I was recently in Peru and met some new friends; the only way that I could communicate was to pass a phone with Google Translate on between us. It was really cute and funny but it allowed me the opportunity to talk. Pointing only got us so far but thanks to this option, I was able to express my thoughts and feelings. I know that everything that I said did not translate 100% correctly but I was at least able to be a part of wonderful conversations and have created lifelong friendships with my Spanish speaking friends. The only thing that held me back was not being able to type as fast as my thoughts.
Once again thank you for helping me truly enjoy my Peruvian experience by giving me a voice when I had no words to express my thoughts & feelings.
Keep up the great work. This amazing piece of technology has the ability to bring Peace to where there was no communication before.
Thank YOU so very much.
Querido Google Translate,
Sólo quería darte las gracias al genio que creó esta opción! Hace poco estuve en Perú y se reunió con algunos nuevos amigos, la única manera que podía comunicarse era pasar un teléfono con Google Translate entre nosotros. Fue muy lindo y divertido, pero me dio la oportunidad de hablar. Señalando sólo nos dieron hasta ahora, pero gracias a esta opción, tuve la oportunidad de expresar mis pensamientos y sentimientos. Sé que todo lo que he dicho no tradujo correctamente al 100% pero al menos pudo ser parte de las conversaciones maravillosas y han creado amistades de por vida con mis amigos de habla hispana. Lo único que me detuvo fue no poder escribir tan rápido como mis pensamientos.
Una vez más, gracias por ayudarme a disfrutar realmente de mi experiencia peruana por darme una voz cuando no tenía palabras para expresar mis pensamientos y sentimientos.
Sigan con el buen trabajo. Esta impresionante pieza de tecnología tiene la capacidad de traer la paz a donde no había comunicación antes.
Gracias tan mucho.
