Neighborhoods: Downtown
my wife & I & our daughters stayed a long weekend @ Emily Morgan and if was AWESOME! the room was great and the view was just as great! We could see right into the courtyard of the Alamo. The room was clean as was the bathroom! the service was awesome, the staff treated us like we were the only people there! Whenever we asked for something we got it right away. the bartender in the bar was just as freindly as she could be! We recommend the Emily Morgan to ALL our family & friends!! Myself I'm counting the days until we return! It was just an enjoyable time. Also it is in the perfect location so that you don't need to drive your car anywhere you can walk to everything!!!!! This place is just AWESOME!!!!!!
Don't expect much from Emily Morgan's – "Location" perfect! The Alamo and River Walk are within crawling distance. Comp parking as a guess saves you a few bucks also, but when it comes to the "Over Stated" menu...seek breakfast else where. We ordered Smoked Salmon/bagels for breakfast on Wednesday and were told we couldn't have it until Saturday. We ordered "Petite Rib Eye" and it wasn't available either. I asked the waiter if I were to return on Saturday for Salmon/Bagels would he assure me that it would be available? "Yes" it will. Guess what... I returned bright and early at opening on Sat am and low and behold...NO BAGELS! How in the heck does one run out of bagels to go with a "signature dish" The waitress then said...we have other bread available. The sour milk that was served to my grandson was the final straw. So I thought!!! AFTER BEING IDENTIFED AS SOUR, IT WAS SERVED TO ANOTHER FAMILY!!! WHO'S RUNNING THIS JOINT"? The dirty bathrooms down stairs, popular items not available throughout the week AND weekends on the menu seems to be a little much. I dealt with the screaming throughtout the day at the pool, but when it comes to "todays" economy, and where to spend money, Emily Morgan will be "Kicked to the Curb" Let's be fair here. The Chef "Marv", and waiter Raffel, are above reproach. The day shift guy named Joseph should be commended also. The Tuna dinner and chicken pasta are 5 star quality by anyones standard. If you where to order just that and leave, you would be impressed. Please put your hard earned funds else where and avoid this location completley.
The Worst Hotel Stay Ever! – Honestly could not believe that this hotel was given so many stars. I knew it was not going to start off well when we arrived at 3:45 pm to check in and myself and numerous others were told our rooms were not yet ready. (Check in was suppose to be at 3:00 pm or after.) Exhausted from traveling, we had to find something to do for nearly an hour.
The next day we left and came back at 1:00 pm, they had not yet cleaned the room and when we asked, they said we could do a 'light service' which apparently means throwing out trash and giving us more towels. Nothing at all was cleaned--boy was this hotel understaffed.
The coup de gras--the fire alarm went off at 1:00 am and it took us an hour and a half to get back into our rooms. No apologies from this hotel--nothing. Why did the alarm go off? A rain storm about a week ago messed up with a lot of their systems..... Yikes! I had no clue that a few inches of rain could put that much havoc on a building?
When I called to speak with the manager, they left me on hold for 15 minutes and then hung up. Oh and don't try emailing because the GM doesn't respond either. This hotel gives independent hotels a bad name.
Two good notes: the bellman, Johnny, was exceptional and the pool/hot tub area were relaxing.
Traveler Beware: I STRONGLY encourage you pick another place to stay!
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Tasty but frustrating – The food is really very good, but be prepared to serve yourself. The staff are borderline with their enthusiasm. They seem to wish to be somewhere else (certainly anywhere but in the restaurant.) I?ve dined there a half dozen times in the last two or three months and found that if I want a drink, I should visit the bar. Yes, get up from your table, go to the bartender and order your drink, wait for it to be made, then take it back to your seat. Some time after that, get up, go to the manager and ask for your bill.
Not worth the price – I was so excited for my weekend at the Emily Morgan. I chose this hotel specifically for the room with the jacuzzi bathtub and view. I called after I made the reservation to make sure that I was going to get the room I requested and the woman confirmed it. When I got to my room, I was on the 3rd floor. I immidately went to the bathroom to check out the view from the tub and much to my diappointment, the glass was frosted over for obvious reasons. That night when I got into bed, there were holes in my bed sheets on one side though the bed was comfortable. The next morning when I went to take a shower, there was hair all over the tub. I was very disappointed. I would have rather had a cheaper, smaller room then a big dirty one. When I completed the review the hotel sent me after my stay, I let them know about my diappointments. The hotel manager called and left me a message and that was over a week ago. I have called and left messages for him to call me back but to no avail. If you arent satisfied with your stay, dont expect them to try and keep your business.
Exquisite – Absolutely fabulous.... Perfect. You must try the lobster mac and cheese!! My filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Everything is beautifully presented, and the taste is up to the beautiful presentation. You must eat here!!!
A lodging staple for budget-minded road-trippers and business travelers. – In Short
Since the Ramada brand made its debut in 1954 in Flagstaff, Ariz., the hotel franchise has been offering dependable accommodations with budget-wise perks. Families appreciate the kids-stay-free policy for children 17 and under staying with their parents. Other amenities usually include a swimming pool, full-service restaurant, lounge, in-room data ports and voice mail. Group rates--for wedding parties, corporate groups or family reunions--are available for parties requiring 10 or more rooms per night.
A must have for quality class and fun – With an upscale sophisticated feel Oro provides a great atmosphere with exquisite food and unbeatable drink specials. A little known secret is that on Tuesdays and Fridays(11:30 - 2:30); the bar offers 50 cent Grey Goose martinis. Yes I did just say 50 cents and Grey Goose in the same sentence. The pasta dish that they offer as a lunch special is an absolute culinary dream. I used to live in northern Italy and I would still put Oro's pasta in my top ten list. The staff is wonderful and the bar keeps are not only extraordinary at there jobs but smooth and really know how to make your visit singular and unique. A cool blend of returning locals who are known by name and visiting hotel goers who are indulging in the upper scale San Antonio vibe. Not to mention uber central, across from the Alamo and in a Historic Hotel. I give it a smiling 5 stars - LOgan

Initiative aims to boost medication complianceSeeks to give North Dakota pharmacists more active role
FARGO – Caregivers' best efforts to treat costly chronic diseases can suffer when patients fail to take their medications as prescribed.
By: Patrick Springer, INFORUM
FARGO – Caregivers' best efforts to treat costly chronic diseases can suffer when patients fail to take their medications as prescribed.
Nationally, the prescription drug compliance rate is estimated at 50 percent, according to researchers.
An initiative to give North Dakota pharmacists a more active role in the team management of chronic disease aims to boost medication compliance in order to improve patient outcomes.
A group of partners including Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota have provided a grant to pharmacy researchers at North Dakota State University to evaluate medical management services provided by pharmacists.
The researchers will evaluate health outcomes as well as patient satisfaction and cost of services as delivered by care teams in the so-called medical homes led by primary care doctors.
"We want to improve medication compliance," said David Scott, who is conducting the research with fellow NDSU pharmacy professor Daniel Friesner.
"If we can get people to take medications as prescribed it should reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations," Scott said. "These are very costly venues of care."
The study will place North Dakota at the forefront of efforts to better coordinate care between pharmacists and doctors, said Scott, the study's lead researcher.
The pilot study involves Thrifty White Pharmacy, one of the granting partners, which has 21 locations in North Dakota communities. The grant was awarded by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation.
Pharmacists will augment Blue Cross Blue Shield's MediQHome care management program, in which 70 percent of North Dakota physicians participate.
The program focuses on better managing and preventing nine chronic health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma.
Retail pharmacists are on the frontlines of health delivery and can play an important role, said Tom Christensen, manager of pharmacy management at Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota.
"Pharmacists really are, if not the most, among the most accessible health care providers," he said, adding they often have more contact with customers than physicians.
In fact, Blue Cross Blue Shield began an initiative to give pharmacists a greater role in what is called medication therapy management when the NDSU research opportunity came along.
Software provided by Prime Therapeutics, which supports the project with a computer program that joins medical and pharmaceutical and clinical information to guide and track better care.
Another partner in the research project, Outcomes MTM, has a national network of pharmacists who provide medication therapy management services.
The Thrifty White pharmacists will provide medication management services, including advising patients about the benefits of taking all medications as directed, and administering immunizations.
Blue Cross Blue Shield will reimburse pharmacists for their services but expects to recoup its investment through improved health and better patient outcomes, Christensen said.
"I can't put a dollar figure on that, but what we do know is gaps in care exist, and when they do, that leads to poorer outcomes," he said, which translate into higher costs.
The two-year NDSU study will provide unbiased evaluations and measurements of the program's results, Christensen said.
"This is an ambitious study," he said.

Hey BFL Family,
Today is my first day of the Challenge (yay me!!!) but one question still lingers. I know the chart stated to start your UPWO on the first day but since this question plagued me, I started with my cardio today. My resources are limited as far as dumbbells are concerned, so my question is: could I essentially get the same effect using resistance bands? Hopefully this isn't a dumb question or hasn't been asked previously but still wanting to know regardless. Thanks in advance.
~Lady T~
~Don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary situation~
I got a cheap set of dumbells at walmart for 20 dollars. They have been working well for me for the first 21/2 weeks. I would think if your just starting out that the bands would work fine, but you will "outgrow" them as you progress.
Thanks so much.

Well. It's been a long time, hasn't it? It probably would have been much longer, too, except that as of May 1st, Blogger no longer supports blogs hosted via FTP (which is what this blog used to be).
So, I was finally forced to make the switch to WordPress. I've tried to be careful about preserving the permalinks as they were, so hopefully no broken links will result from the change. If you find any problems please let me know. I did notice that some of the HTML markup in the posts and comments got garbled, and I'll fix those as I have time. The one change that will be unavoidable is that the links for the RSS feeds will be slightly different–sorry for any inconvenience that might cause.
Of course, just because I've gone through the trouble of converting this blog, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to start posting with any regularity again. But maybe since I've got this shiny new toy to play with, I won't be able to help myself.

Later this month, "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro returns to the scene of his first ever live performance, the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, for a leg of his Homemade for the Holidays Tour.
The show is one of 21 in just 22 days, and the only one scheduled in New Jersey, which is still recovering from the destruction unleashed by Hurricane Sandy two weeks ago. Valastro, who owns Carlos Bake Shop in Hoboken, one of the hardest hit cities in New Jersey, said he considers himself one of the lucky ones.
Carlo's lost power and was closed for a week but was lucky to avoid any property damage due to the storm. Being without power for a time was nothing compared to the serious flood damage sustained in the low-lying areas of the Hudson County city.
"Thank God we didn't get hit too bad," he said. "Compared to people all over the state, we were damn lucky."
Valastro, a Little Ferry native, said a condo he owns in Long Branch did get some water damage, though it wasn't the worst. When it comes to his boat, however, Valastro said he'd have to wait to find out what kind of damage it's sustained.
"I don't know where my boat is," he said, taking the entire thing in stride. "It's missing."
The Nov. 26 show is an interactive holiday performance set to music. Valastro said he'll be decorating cakes, telling his best stories, giving the audience baking tips and tricks, doing a question and answer segment, and calling people to stage to compete to win the cakes decorated on stage.
The first time he stepped on the Basie stage for a live performance he said it came with some pre-show jitters. Being filmed in the bakeshop was one thing, but appearing before a live audience evokes a feeling, still, that can't compare. That first time, however, Valastro said the Basie crowd made him feel like a rock star.
"I'm so used to it now that I'm OK," he said about live show nerves. "The roaring of the crowd, it actually settles me."
And in Red Bank, Valastro said he always finds a welcoming crowd, on, and off, the stage. When it comes to dining, Valastro said he and his family routinely come down to Red Bank to enjoy one of the town's numerous restaurants. And though he's recognized in person when he's out, Valastro sees that it's just part of the territory.
"I'm so used to it now that it doesn't even phase me," Valastro said of the recognition. "People treat me like a celebrity, but I don't act like one. I'm just a baker from New Jersey."
He's also the star of a show set in New Jersey, which, as far as reality television goes, is often lampooned, intentionally or otherwise. And the star, the most familiar with molds, is proud to break at least one.
"Out of all the Jersey reality shows, I'm proud to be the most positive," he said. "I think people give (New Jersey) a bad rap. To be a part of showing Jersey in a great light and showing what treasures we have here is really a pleasure."
In his celebrity and the overwhelming success of his TLC show, which debuted in 2009 and now airs in 180 countries, Valastro said he's proud to play a new role in addition to the one of Cake Boss. As he's traveled throughout the country on book tours and live shows, Valastro said he's regularly approached by people who claim him as an inspiration in their lives. From novice bakers to culinary students, entrepreneurs to Cake Boss enthusiasts, Valastro said he's overwhelmed by the number of people who point to him as a role model.
"I didn't know that what I was going to be doing when I set out to do the show," he said. "People ask me what they need (to be successful), I tell them it's going to take a lot of work, but at the end of the day you can be anything you want to be.
"I've been working hard my whole life. It was a long road and it was a tough fight, but here I am, I'm the Cake Boss."

INNISFIL — Property owners will alter Lake Simcoe's shoreline unless "loopholes" in the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan are plugged, Deputy Mayor Dan Davidson says.
"People are cutting trees along the shore and doing it without permits," Davidson said. "The plan needs more teeth and less loopholes."
Davidson called for an emergency meeting with the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority, lakeside municipalities, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment to find better ways to enforce the rules of the provincial plan.
Davidson told the Journal he was alerted to pitfalls in the plan when some property owners in the prestigious south shore area of Innisfil began altering the shoreline against the principles of the protection plan.
The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan places a number of restrictions on private property owners in effort to maintain a pristine shoreline.
But the penalties for breaking rules in the plan aren't tough enough, Davidson said.
"To some people it's the cost of doing business," he said. "We need more front line workers out there enforcing this."
If governments don't act soon other lakeshore property owners will follow the bad examples, Davidson said.
There appears to be some confusion between government agencies over the enforcement of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, Davidson said. As well, there aren't enough inspectors to police the rules, which forbid altering shorelines without special permission.
"The conservation authority only has one officer to do this for their entire watershed," Davidson said.
Town lawyer Jason Reynar called the problem "an ongoing and pressing situation" that requires government agencies to keep their "foot on the gas pedal".
However, who enforces the rules and how has become an issue as incidents along the Lake Shore arise.
"There appears to be a cloudiness around who has authority and at what stage the enforcement comes into play," town CAO John Skorobohacz said.
Part of the problem may be hesitation by government agencies to take on the enforcement role because of the cost of pursuing cases in court, Davidson said.

Before engaging in rough sex, the man shaves his pubes and puts them in a pile within a reachable distance. Then the man blows his load all over his partners face right before he grabs and hurls his pubes so that they stick all over her visage, making her look like a hairy monkey.
I love you more than anything; please accept this hairy monkey as a token of my appreciation.

The first of 11 such events over the course of the summer, Tuesday's Gamecock Orientation brought about 130 students to campus, said Terry Casey, director of student life. He said by the end of summer, his orientation team will likely usher between 1,300 and 1,400 new students through the process.
Many incoming freshmen on campus Tuesday said they were drawn to JSU because of the strength of its programs and its affordability, an ever-important factor as tuition costs are rising across the country.
Desiree Stephens of Adairsville, Ga. said she chose Jacksonville State over King College in Bristol, Tenn. because she was able to get in-state tuition at JSU. The private King College would have cost her about $120,000 for four years, a debt she didn't want to be saddled with.
She said that she knows she'll be able to pay back the student loans she'll have to take out for JSU, especially because she anticipates the "amazing" graphic design program she's entering will help her get a good job out of college.
Hayley Holdridge, a Southside resident, said the English department initially lured her to campus.
She said she had considered both Auburn and JSU, but ultimately she opted for JSU because she felt like Auburn was more of a science-focused institution and because her scholarship offer there was smaller.
As a Faculty Scholar at JSU, Holdridge receives a scholarship that pays for a full-time tuition of up to 16 hours and books for up to four years.
"I just have to keep my grades up," she said.
Holdridge is one of 1,247 members of the 2012-2013 freshman class entering JSU with academic scholarships that total more than $6.77 million, according to Martin Weldon, coordinator of scholarships at JSU.
This number does not include program-based scholarships like athletic and music scholarships, said Angie Finley, spokeswoman for the university. She said that JSU does not yet have a final class size for the 2012-2013 freshmen because student will continue to register through the beginning of August. She expects the final roster will exceed number of students the expected for summer orientation.
Scholarships will be increasingly important to students as tuition rates continue to rise across the country. The average tuition at a four-year public university climbed 15 percent between 2008 and 2010 nationwide. Just last month, the JSU Board of Trustees voted to increase tuition rates by 3.92 percent, from $255 to $265 per credit hour for in-state students and from $510 to $530 for out-of-state students.
Incoming freshmen can expect tuition for a 12-credit full-time course load to cost $6,360 annually for in-state students and $12,720 for out-of-state students. According to the university's orientation packet, estimated living expenses on campus are expected to range from $3,900 to $4,810 per semester for students living in campus housing.
Universities across Alabama are raising tuition rates, citing cuts in state funding. In-state undergraduate tuition will go up about 6 percent, from $235 to $249 per credit hour, at Troy University. At the University of North Alabama, trustees authorized an 8.8 percent tuition increase for the fall, from $204 to $222 per credit hour. Students at the University of South Alabama will see a 7.7 percent increase in tuition and various fees.

In my youth, this phrase was heard in the neighbourhood more than a few times. It was used during games of Hide and Seek to let everyone know that it was safe to come out from their hiding spots. Let's hope that the newest Ranger, Olli Jokinen hears the call and emerges from wherever his 30-goal talent and passion have been hiding for the last few seasons. For those of you who own O.J. in your pools, you have to be optimistic that he finds his return to the Eastern Conference welcoming! He hasn't been the same since leaving the Panthers in 2008.
For those of you musing whether or not the Zednik near-death experience (Jokinen's skate accidentally cut Zednik's neck) affected Jokinen's point production, here are the numbers: In the 157 games since the incident, Jokinen has 45 goals and 105 points or an average of 24 goals and 55 points pro-rated over 82 games. In the preceding 222 games, he recorded 106 goals and 238 points. That's an 82 game average of 39 goals and 88 points.
Bringing in Jokinen could turn out to be a very good move by Glen Sather. In his debut in Broadway Blues on Tuesday, Jokinen lined up between Marian Gaborik and Vaclav Prospal. The Rangers are better off with Jokinen in their top six vice Chris Higgins.
While Mike Keenan is widely credited for Olli Jokinen's emergence as a player, it was Jacques Martin who managed to coax the best out of the big Finn. Under Keenan's tutelage, Jokinen recorded seasons of 29, 65 and 58 points. After Jacques Martin took over behind the bench, Jokinen averaged 37 goals, 84 points and 348 shots on goal over their three seasons together.
The Rangers desperately need Jokinen to return to his 30-35 goal form, as New York's offense has been very predictable of late. Marian Gaborik has scored five of the team's last six goals.
File this under the heading Bad Idea; the Rangers threw out five forwards on the power play last game and were promptly burned for a sweet short-handed marker courtesy of Anze Kopitar.
Chris Drury has been relegated to playing on the fourth line with Brian Boyle and Aaron Voros. Drury has logged less than 15 minutes of ice time in four of his last eight games. This is a player who will be paid over $8-million dollars this season! Just another in a long list of not very good bang for your buck signings by the Rangers management.
Razor Sharp
Since returning from injury, Ray Emery has played well and although his 5-3 record doesn't stand out, his ancillary numbers do. In those eight contests, he has a goals-against-average of 2.14, a save percentage of 0.919 and two shutouts. The Flyers sit atop a pack of eight teams currently vying for the final three playoff spots in the Eastern Conference and could be poised to go on a little run.
Here are the three free agents I won bids on this week in the Dobber Experts League:
How hot is Tampa goaltender Antero Niittymaki? How about four wins and one overtime loss in his last five games? Over that period, he has a goals-against-average of less than one (0.95) and a 0.967 save percentage to go along with one shutout.
The change of scenery has worked wonders for Benoit Pouliot. Before the trade to Montreal, Pouliot had played parts of four seasons, registering a total of nine goals and 18 points in 65 games. Since coming to the Canadiens, the former fourth overall pick from 2005 has registered 11 goals and 14 points in only 19 games.
Senators Erik Karlsson has four points in his last three games and the 19-year-old defender has averaged more than 21 minutes of ice time in his last six contests. If I was forced to find a comparable NHL defenseman, I would choose Tobias Enstrom. The same questions were there concerning Enstrom's lack of size when he broke into the league. Enstrom surprised nearly everyone with a 38 point rookie effort, although he was three years older than Karlsson when he embarked on his first NHL campaign. Now Enstrom is in his third NHL season and on pace for 57 points. Does Karlsson have what it takes to follow the same pattern? Only time will tell, but the early returns look promising.
Top Gun – Canadien Style?
Looking at the numbers of the two top dogs in Montreal, it's easy to see who the Top Gun should be. In Jaroslav "Iceman" Halak's last five games, he has a 3-1-1 record, 1.58 goals-against-average and a stellar 0.955 save percentage. By contrast, future stud Carey "Maverick" Price hasn't put in the greatest performances of late. He has a 1-3-1 record with a 3.40 goals-against-average and a 0.896 save percentage. Montreal is currently sitting uncomfortably in the seven slot in the Eastern standings and still very much in the mix for a playoff berth. Look for Jacques "Jester" Martin to call on the more consistent Iceman, at least until he turns in a poor performance.
Canada vs USA Olympic Goaltenders
Is New Jersey Devils Lou Lamoriello (GM of 1998 USA Olympic men's hockey team) guilty of some international gamesmanship by trying to tire out Canadian Olympic Team goaltender Martin Brodeur heading into the Games? Brodeur has played in 52 of New Jersey's first 55 games. No, not a chance, but Brodeur's play of late does seem to indicate that he might be tired. In his last six games played, Brodeur has two wins, a goals-against-average of 2.59 and an unflattering 0.886 save percentage. Prior to this recent run of sub-par games, Marty was sporting a 2.17 goals-against-average and a save percentage of 0.923.
Not including last night's loss, fellow Olympian, Team USA's Ryan Miller also had only two wins in his last six games played. His save percentage over those games was 0.905 and goals-against-average was 2.77. Now those numbers may not seem too bad, but compared with his season totals of 0.932 and 2.12, that qualifies as a bad stretch.
Short Cuts
Mike Knuble has 15 points in his last 14 games…Kris Letang has six points in his last seven games played…Bryan McCabe has no points in ten games… Of Alexander Ovechkin's 48 games played this season, exactly half of them have been multi-point efforts. He has been held pointless in only nine matches to date this season…Has Ilya Kovalchuk been able to ignore all the trade discussion going on? Does two points in his last six games sound right for the Russian

Whether going on your daily walk or just spending time outside, doctors say you could be putting yourself at risk for a certain disease. In this week's What's Going Around we're focusing on Lyme disease which can be brought on after getting a tick bite.
Dr. Michael Sty of Spring Creek Family Medicine is providing our medical information.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include a rash within the first month of the tick bite, fever, fatigue, body aches and enlarged lymph nodes in your neck. It can progress into numbness in hands and feet. Symptoms can last for weeks to years after getting the tick bite.
Lyme disease is most likely to occur in late spring and into early fall.
When it comes to treatment, Dr. Sty recommends using antibiotic therapy to eliminate symptoms and prevent progression of Lyme disease and curing the infection.
Sty says the best way to prevent Lyme disease is to wear protective clothes in the woods, use tick repellant and to inspect your clothing and skin before going back inside.
Dr. Sty warns patients that it is possible to get Lyme disease more than once even after treatment.

This lesson is for Zendesk Classic. If you are using the new version of Zendesk, see Working with views.
Once support requests start coming into your system, you need to organize them into groups that make working with them easier. If you had one support request a day, organization is not that important; but once you start getting tens or hundreds a day, you need to be able to view them in groupings which are meaningful to your business and your support team. Otherwise, you risk becoming overwhelmed with a lot of tickets and unable to decide which ones require your attention. Just think if you never filed anything away in your life and you just put everything in one big pile. You'd lose control of what was in it pretty quick.
In this lesson, we're going to look at Zendesk Views. Views are customizable inboxesfor your support requests or tickets. To see your current views, click on the Views menu in the upper right of the menu bar.
Views organize your tickets into groupings which should help you stay on top of them. Perhaps you want to know which tickets need your attention; or to be reminded of tickets which haven't been addressed in a while; or see all the high priority tickets in your system. Views let you see your tickets in these and many more ways.
While Zendesk provides you with some default views, it's important that you set up your own views which will help your support team focus on the tickets they need to address when they need to address them.
We'll be changing one of Zendesk's default views to highlight which of our unsolved tickets are open (require our attention) and which are pending (waiting for more information from the customer). You'll recall from lesson one that Open and Pending are different ticket Statuses. This will help us focus in on which support issues we should be working on at the moment.
We'll also deactivate some of the default views we aren't using at the moment.
Before we actually change any of the views, let's check our main view -- My Unsolved Tickets. Click the View tab in the upper right of the top menu.
If you haven't already, you should see a ticket in there from Kelly H. titled "Welcome to Zendesk, You've Got a Ticket!" Kelly is a real-life Zendesk support agent. Click into the ticket and read what it says.
She submitted this by sending an email to your default Zendesk support address (firstname.lastname@example.com). Because it will actually be helpful to what we are doing in this lesson, we are going to follow her directions: reply to the ticket and set it to pending.
Recalling what we did in the first lesson:
TIP: If you want to check what happened when you hit submit, remember that you can always see the ticket log by clicking the All Events and Notifications link.
Now we are back in our view. Depending on how much testing you've been doing on your own, you might only see the one pending ticket. Let's add another one for testing purposes -- since we are setting up our view to show us which tickets are pending and which are open, it would be better if we had an open ticket in there. It's a good practice to create test tickets as you work with your Zendesk. Every time you add something new or want to change something, you can use your test tickets to make sure it works as you expect. Better to test on yourself than on your customers.
To create a new ticket click the New button in the top right of the menu bar. This brings you to a new ticket form. While many tickets come in to your Zendesk via email, you might use the New Ticket button to create a ticket in response to a phone call, for example. The new ticket form looks like the tickets we've been working with, except nothing has been filled in yet.
Let's say your boss has called you with an urgent request from a VIP customer. To keep track of that request, you create a new support ticket. Fill it out with the customer's information and the request.
Because we have not communicated with this customer through Zendesk before, we need to add them to the system first. Click the add new user link under the Requester text field.
NOTE: Zendesk requires an email for all customer tickets. This is why a customer account is automatically created when they email a question in; but why you need to add their email manually when filling out a new ticket. Put in the user's name and phone number if you have it.
Click create and then fill out the rest of the ticket with an urgent request. So even though you are the one filling out the ticket, you can ascribe it to the user. They will receive any further communication just like a normal ticket; and you will be able to reference this issue later when looking at their user account.
Change the Type to Problem and the Priority to High. Your form should look something like this:
Note that the customer data you just added is on display in the right column.
Click the submit button to create the ticket.
Now we have at least two tickets in our Unsolved Ticket view: the one from Kelly and the one we just created. They are currently displayed in List layout, which shows the subject of both tickets as well as the most recent comment. There is also a small label indicating whether the ticket is open -- and thus requires attention -- or whether it is pending -- meaning that you are waiting on further information.
List layout is good for seeing the most recent activity on tickets, but we want to focus more on which of our unsolved tickets are pending and which are open. To do that, it is best to view the tickets in Table layout. It's best practice to create a list that separates all the tickets that currently require your attention from the tickets that don't. This will make your support agents and you much more focused and effective, especially if you are dealing with a large volume of tickets.
To modify the layout, click the Table link in the upper right of the main column.
Nice! The Table View separates the tickets into two distinct areas, those that are open and those that are pending. So now when we look at our unsolved tickets, we can quickly see which ones require our attention.
Note that by selecting Table view, we're not establishing a permanent change in how we view these tickets. Next time you go back to the Home Tab and then come back to view your tickets, they will be back in the List layout as it was when we started. So we'll edit our Unsolved Tickets view so that it always shows our tickets in table layout, and grouping our open and pending tickets.
To change how a view looks (as well as which tickets it shows you), click the edit link in the top right bar (in the same place as the Table link you clicked earlier). Go to your Views > My Unsolved Tickets if you aren't there already and click that green edit link.
It looks similar to the Triggers screen we looked at in lesson one. Basically, the top section defines what kind of tickets you want to show up in the view (i.e. this could be tickets assigned to you, high priority tickets, tickets that haven't been responded to in over a month, etc.); while the bottom section sets how the page is organized.
Under Formatting options, you'll see that you can switch the view from List to Table. Choose Table; this will make Table the default layout of your My Unsolved Tickets View.
This opens up another set of options. While there are a lot of choices, it's basically a list of ticket data which you can select to include in this view. On the right are items of data you will see for each ticket; and on the left are all the other options you can include. To move items between lists, you just drag and drop the items you want.
For right now, we just need some really basic data, most of which is already there. We want to see:
We don't really need score at this moment, so drag and drop it from the right column into the left. (Score shows you how important a ticket is in relationship to other tickets; helpful, but right now let's focus on the basics.) Leave everything else the same for now.
So we now have the types of data we want to see about our tickets. What about grouping them by their status like we set out to do (open or pending)?
You configure this in the Group By section underneath the columns. The drop down should be set to Status already, but if it's not, open up the drop-down and choose it. You'll see that there are many options for grouping your tickets in a particular view. This gives you a second level of organization within your views. For instance, you may want to see all your high priority tickets in one View, but then group them by which agent they are assigned to; or perhaps, what date they came in. In our case, we want to see which of our unsolved tickets are open and which are pending.
The next section -- Order By -- reads Score. We removed score from our columns up above, so change that to Request Date. That will mean that within your groupings -- open or pending -- they will be in order of the date they came in, similar to how your email program works probably.
Click the update view. Now any time you look at your Unsolved Tickets, you'll see them in the table layout, grouped by their status.
Let's continue setting this up so your agents and you can better focus on what's important in your help desk right now. Even though you want to view your tickets into meaningful chunks or views (i.e. which tickets are open right now), you don't want more views than necessary. It's like going through the closet and saying: "Do I really wear this?" If not, get rid of it.
To that end, we'll reduce the number of views you see when you click Views tab in the menu bar (see below).
Zendesk's default views are based on customer service best practices. But when you're just starting out or if you don't have very many tickets, some of these default views may not be useful yet. We haven't gone over groups, for instance -- so let's disable some of these views.
You can disable views in Zendesk without deleting them. This will allow you add them back to your list later when you feel they might be helpful. For now, let's disable New tickets in your groups and Unsolved tickets in your group.
Click on the Manage tab in the top menu bar and choose Views from the sub menu. You'll see that it lists out the same views you see in the Views top menu drop-down. You also see that there are already some Inactive views. Roll your mouse over the New Tickets in your groups row. A menu reveals itself on the right with the option to deactivate. Click deactivate; the page reloads and now New Tickets in your groups is in the Inactive views. Do the same with Unsolved tickets in your groups.
Looking at our views is a little easier now (see below)
The remaining views in the list address scenarios we have seen and which are useful when you are just starting out with Zendesk:
There's one view which contains a piece of Zendesk we haven't addressed yet: unassigned tickets? All tickets in Zendesk must eventually be assigned to a support agent. Assignment means that the support agent will receive notifications when the ticket is updated; and it establishes a clear responsibility. As you are currently the only agent in your Zendesk, all tickets are automatically assigned to you. We'll look further at Ticket Assignment in the next lesson when we begin adding additional agents to your Zendesk.
In this lesson, we looked at how to organize the tickets we have in our help desk by using Zendesk Views. When you log into your Zendesk, you should open up your views and choose the one that best fits what you need to do at that moment -- typically, either dealing with unsolved tickets; or checking in with the backlog of tickets that are waiting on more customer information.
We evaluated the difference between list format and table format, and chose table format for our main "My Unsolved Ticket" view. This allowed us to easily distinguish between unsolved tickets that are open awaiting our action and which were pending on a customer response.
Lastly, because we use views to help us focus on which support requests need our attention, we turned off certain default views that we don't need yet.
Check your My Unsolved Tickets view and see whether Kelly H. has responded to her ticket. If she has, it should now be in the Open section of your view. This means she has replied. Because the ticket is now back in your court, Zendesk automatically moves it from pending to open. Review your ticket from Kelly H. and solve it. It's not good practice to leave tickets open longer than you have to.
Matthew, how is score calculated? Is there a place admin can change how score is calculated?
Hey Bill:
Here's some information on how the score is calculated. No user-defined options exist for this feature.
Every ticket in your Zendesk help desk is scored between 0 and 100. The score is an objective value for which tickets you need to address first. The higher the score the more urgent/important the ticket is. The score is a relative value. So even though you only have two working tickets in your help desk, and both of them are pretty tedious, they can still score 100.
When calculating the score we consider a number of factors: How old is the ticket, how well has it been qualified and is somebody working on it. A ticket that hasn't been qualified at all will typically score high, encouraging your agents to inspect and assign tickets as they come in. Ticket that has been lying around for a long time will score high, incidents will score higher than questions, and of course will urgent priority tickets score higher than lower priority tickets.
An important consideration is that a ticket that has been lying around for a while unqualified easily can score higher than an urgent priority incident. Although the urgent incident undoubtedly is important, it has been qualified and somebody has been assigned to it. Whereas the unqualified ticket potentially can be much more important. You don't know until somebody has qualified it.
We now colorcode the score in ticket views which hopefully will strengthen their value in day-to-day operations.
When a ticket is placed in 'pending' (as we are waiting for a response from the customer), does it affect the SLA?
Hi Emily.
Firstly thank you for your prompt response.
In regards to my previous query under 'SLA Violations' one ticket has been flagged and unsolved in 24h, however the ticket is Pending.
As I'm waiting for a response from the member and the ticket is pending I would've through it wouldn't appear in under SLA violations. IS that correct?
Thanks again,
Hi Kimi,
I apologize for any confusion there may have been previously. While reporting can ignore Pending status (when determining requester wait time, for example), our SLAs under Business Rules > Service Level Agreements do not ignore Pending status.
You have the "Tickets: Must be assigned to an agent within 24 business hours and must be solved within 24 business hours" SLA activated. This is pretty cut and dry, giving you two views:
It sounds like you're asking about the second view, which has two Pending tickets in it. As this view is specifically concerned with the time between ticket creation and the Solved status, it does not consider the meaning of New, Open or Pending. It simply wants to know if the ticket was Solved in 24 hours.
Further, if a ticket was Solved within 24 hours but reopened, it will show up here.
As mentioned above, if you want to report on requester wait time, this will ignore Pending status. Requester wait time reports can be built in Zendesk reporting or Gooddata.
I hope this clears everything up!

An interesting concept and looks like an effective teaching tool if all of the parts would work as represented. The site would be more effective for religious study if many of the founders of religions were plugged into the system to show how they represent the Hero's Adventure. There seems to be a gap between the ideal of the site and the real of its use or uselessness.Technical Remarks:I could not get any of the story examples to open.

I have studied and taught this subject for years (in fact I have a PhD in folklore). So although I only spent 15 minutes perusing the site and have not actually used it for a class, I am familiar enough with the material and similar sites.This site allows students to get familiarized with the idea of heroic quest stories and to read both classic examples of such stories and those written by other students (a good idea). It's a well-designed site with nice graphics easy-to-use links. My problem with it is that it is all based on Joseph Campbell's ideas about the hero. And Campbell was not a very good scholar of folklore because he usually uses only PARTS of stories, completely extracted from their contexts, to prove his pre-existing theories. He also completely ignores other scholarship (in print) from his own time on the same subject. These are two definitions of bad scholarship. Also, his information and assumptions are sometimes inaccurate, or at the very least incomplete and slanted.Nonetheless, Campbell clearly appeals to many people and is often responsible for getting them excited about studying myth. So it is good to have familiarity with his work (just not to rely solely on it0. And as I said, I do like the idea of reading contemporary versions of the hero stories (written by students) that this web site includes. I often incorporate similar assignments and find them very effective, but haven't included students' stories on my website. That element of this site is nice.If I were to use this website for my hero's quest class, I would simply have to really emphasize what is good and BAD about Campbel and be sure my students also understand and are accountable for the many other ideas of the hero and myth generally. I have a website that does some of this: http://www.faculty.de.gcsu.edu/~mmagouli/defmyth.htm (go to the heroic patterns link for instance).Technical Remarks: Technically the website seems well-designed and efficient.

This site breaks down the steps taken by Campbell's hero and clearly defines them. Having examples to look through helps crystalize the theory for students. Students would have a blast creating their own hero's journey stories!Technical Remarks:The only problem I encountered was in trying to read some of the stories in the archive. The instructions on how to acess them were not terribly clear.

I wanted to look in the supermarket so I pulled off just before you get to 465 and then saw my car was letting off smoke. Gigantic billowing gouts of smoke. There was a gas station only a block away but of course it wasn't a service station. The attendant couldn't help me, my cell phone was dead and when I called AAA they told me I had reached my service call limit. There's a limit? The guy who stopped to help me didn't know anything about cars either. I was afraid it was overheating and if I tried to get back to Lafayette I'd end up stranded along 65 in the middle of the night with no phone. So I had him call me a cab and left the car at the 24 hour gas station/mini mart. While waiting a half hour I called a couple of emergency places, one didn't have Saturday hours and the other one went into voice mail. The little old half-deaf guy who picked me up said he knew of a station just a few miles away, and if I wanted he would pick me up in the morning, take me back to my car and either get me to the service station or lead me to it if my car was driveable. So I spent the night at Motel 6, got up early, he took me back to the station, looked under the hood and didn't see anything and led me off to the repair shop. They said they could take a look but didn't garuantee they could get to it. I'm praying to whatever diety helps stranded motorists "Please don't be the radiator. Please be easy to fix. Please please please."
A lose hose was spraying water on the hot engine and turning into steam. I probably could have driven home but who wanted to take the chance? When I asked he said it might have overheated. The actual repair was only $40 but with the motel and the car service, $110.
So next time you guys are coming up to Lafayette.

Lunch or dinner? I think we want to stay away from anything near campus on the West side, too many loud college students. At least football and basketball are done so there won't be that traffic. There's a nice Italian place that also has pizzas called Spageddies. The last time I met people there they actually let us hang around for hours and weren't even going to kick us out for the dinner rush. The other place I was thinking about is the City Buffet & Grill which is a Chinese buffet that has the authentic Mongolian barbeque and a bunch of dim sum style dumplings as part of the extensive selections. There's american food too. I don't think buffets need reservations. There's lots of chain restaurant and Mexican as well. littlekat, any other suggestions?

My potluck staple is carrot salad, so no baked beans here.
Ok, I checked and if we want the shelters and picnic tables you do have to rent them. If we just bring blankets and sit in the grass it's free. Columbian Park also contains a zoo, which I've never been to, but is also one of the few free zoos in the country. We could picnic and coo at cute animals.

taxxgurl, can I be number 2?
May 22 works for me, too.
And I make cheesecake, or brownies. Maybe both?
Posted Apr 7, 2004 @ 4:53 PM
I wouldn't mind chipping in to rent a shelter if it ensures we have a grill. I checked Lafayette's parks department webpage and the rental for some of the shelters in Columbia Park is only $25.
Posted Apr 7, 2004 @ 4:55 PM
The rentals for Happy Hollow are only $15, but it doesn't come with a zoo. If people want to go to the Columbian Park Zoo that is. Those two parks are on opposite ends of town. Technically, they're not even in the same town. We could always caravan from one to the other. Also, if we want to grill the Super Wal-Mart will easily supply hamburgers and hot dogs without somebody having to drive them up. Or Meijer or Marsh, all within a five minute drive.

Posted Apr 7, 2004 @ 6:56 PM
eta I called the parks department and one of you beautiful Lafayettiers will have to reserve a shelter. I can direct a money order to you or bring cash the 22nd. I think one of the smaller shelters would be more than enough for our group.
Edited by hagreene80, Apr 8, 2004 @ 1:54 PM.
Posted Apr 11, 2004 @ 2:44 AM
I'll call on Monday. Do people want to go to the zoo?
My offer for the wine tasting still stands. They have chocolate too.

Ok then, I'll go ahead and make the reservation. The small shelter seats 50, so if any lurkers are out there, or you want to invite family and friends, come on over. And yes, that is the smallest shelter they have.

Commies and Socialist gather info and build profiles on the people, I'm neither.— So chick here to install the 'Social Reader' and allow this application to show everything you read to your friends and while you're at it log in to this site with Facebook… NO, no and again NO! It's no ones damn business what I read. And if I … I … ME …. think it's interesting enough, then.. I will post it to Facebook, because it's no ones damn business if I read some stupid story about Kim Kardashian's butt dimples.
Now maybe you allow Facebook access to your contacts, friends, browsing habits, cell phone number, home address, condom/cup size and all that happy stuff, fine that's your business (and now Facebook's and their advertising minions) – I don't nor will I. I don't need social interaction bad enough to give up my privacy. And those folks that send me request to visit their Farmville, Cityville, Simville, Stupidville or whatever-ville, don't wait up – because I'll never show… this goes for any other games, calendars, schedules, Branchout, network list or any application that comes with an "Allow" access to my information button. They don't need it, you don't need it and their not getting it.
For the record – I have one application that pulls my post and post them to my blog page and that's it, I had others early on until they started getting more nosy and wanting more permission so I deleted them instead of allowing them more access – since the one I have is a tool it does access all my personal profile info.
I'm telling you I'm not one on conspiracies but one place, Facebook is compiling to much information in one place and people are allowing it like sheep being lead to slaughter. Google not even as nosy as Facebook, they just still it from your Wi-Fi. I'm seriously to the point of creating a fake profiles full of fake info and fake contacts and deleting my real one, because how long will it be before someplace like Homeland Security says they need access to that information too? It's for the good of the American people.
Do what you want – you know what I think – giving up all your personal info for free is just Facepalmbook.
On Facebook, 'Likes' Become Ads
Amazon is one of many companies that pay Facebook to generate these automated ads when a user clicks to "like" their brands or references them in some other way. Facebook users agree to participate in the ads halfway through the site's 4,000-word terms of service, which they consent to when they sign up.
