Charter Cable Freezes During MSU and Tennessee NCAA Basketball Elite Eight

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Charter Cable in Traverse City Michigan  located on 701 S Airport Road West Traverse City, MI 49686-4877 – (231) 995-8372  froze up with 11 seconds to go during the Michigan State and Tennessee NCAA Basketball Game on Sunday night March 28th 2010.

How Pissed Was I

I am a huge State fan and when State was tied with Tennessee for a bid to the final four at 69pts a piece my television suddenly froze up. I thought it might be a bad connection or some camera guy  at the game forgot to change His battery, but t no, it was Charter Cable. So Pissed!  I didn’t know what happened in the game until I called my brother who has the Dish Network.   He told me that MSU had won the game by one point.  The station CBS ( channel 10) continued to be frozen for over an hour. I tried calling Charter, but it just sent me to an automated teller who said” all lines are busy.”  I can not believe that they could not fix it quickly.  Why didn’t they have somebody working for them that would monitor this type of malfunction?  It is a huge game, with expensive commercials and a huge audience.  Needless to say, they suck now in my mind.  I’m switching to the Dish!

Dan Stewart Photography–Northern Michigan Photographer

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Me and my girlfriend Sara just recently had a baby girl named Lydia.  She is so beautiful.  Anyways we decided to get professional pictures done of  Lydia for ourselves and our families.  I knew Dan from an old church group down in Mt. Pleasant MI when I was attending Central Michigan University.  He was in my small group.    I remembered that He was in school for photography so I decided to look Him up on facebook. I did, and He has a web site for his Northern Michigan Photography.  I  thought it look professional enough so I told my girlfriend Sara about it.  She contacted Him about pricing and when He was available.  I believe He charged us $245.00 for the time and set up of the photography shoot.  We set the date and He showed up early.  I was glad to see this because I had to come home from work on my lunch break. It took about two hours and we where done. He took tons of pictures and was very friendly and professional.  He let us see the photos on His camera and told us that He would send us a link so that we could view the 100 or so pics that He chose for us to go through and look at.  I thought this was very cool.  It went beyond my expectations.  As of now we are going through the pictures and picking the ones that we would like to get printed.  It looks like a typical 4×6 is a bout $6.00 a print.   So far, I would recommend Dan Stewarts Photography.  I will let you know how the prints and the final pictures actually turn out and how much they cost.
