Dim Sum: Yeung Qi Dze (Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant)
Name: Yeung Qi Dze
Primary Ingredient(s): Shrimp Paste (or Fish Paste), Eggplant
Type of Dish: Stuffed Vegetable
Method of Preparation: Pan Fried
Being a novice to dim sum allows me a certain latitude in understanding the hows and whys of certain dishes. Claiming ignorance is part and parcel of the purpose of these entries.
Shrimp stuffed eggplant provides an excellent example of this. For one, there is the name "Yeung Qi Dze", which I have no idea is correct for this dish or not. The only evidence I have for this comes from the MenuPages for Ton Kiang restaurant in San Francisco*. Other dim sum menus I have perused simply call this dish "Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant".
Additionally, many of the cookbooks and guides I have seem to believe that shrimp stuffed eggplant is actually a derivative of stuffed green peppers, and that as long as either the eggplant or peppers are stuffed with either fish or shrimp, either or or paste, and you'll be fine. Of course changing ingredients changes its name, and then I'm screwed out of any sort of frame of reference.
Then I realize that Shrimp stuffed eggplant is really self-evident, and I really shouldn't overthink this too much. The name above may not be correct, but you'll know it when you see it.
This dish is also one of the lighter dishes available from a dim sum menu, even if it is pan fried in loads of oil. You'll note two different locations where I've eaten this dish. One was simply drenched in oil, the other was a fair bit more delicate in nature. Your own experiences will vary from restaurant to restaurant.
When prepared well, you get a flavorful dish covered with just enough sauce (soy or black bean) to keep you interested. The eggplant provides that slight woodsy taste that it is known for, while the shrimp provides the majority of the mouthfeel and texture of the dish, as well as providing its own well known flavor.
If we're going to consider baus and spring rolls entry level dishes into the dim sum world, shrimp stuffed eggplant straddles the line between entry level and whatever the second level may be (let's call it "novice"). Shrimp paste, which is used from time to time (again, depending upon the restaurant), is out of the Western mainstream enough to make its use notable, and is the only thing that takes this dish out of the entry level category.
At any rate, if you're a fan of shrimp, eggplant, or both, this is well worth your time.
*Note: Part of the problem in trying to anglicize Chinese words is that you'll invariably get different Western spellings for the same dish, but the spellings will end up sounding the same.

A coup at the city's Board of Elections may mean the agency may actually get a new leader for the first time in two years, according to the City Council's Republican delegation, which is currently in charge. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
The Republican delegation at the City Council says they do not want to control the Board of Elections, but right now, they pretty much do.
When the GOP party leaders failed to renominate half of the City Board of Elections, in swooped City Councilman James Oddo, using an untapped power of the council's GOP delegation.
As a result, half the board is now under its control.
Members of the City Council's Republican delegation say that it isn't a power grab. They call it an opportunity, an opportunity to overhaul the city Board of Elections and to find it a new executive director.
"It's not that this is a power grab and we are installing an executive director," Oddo said. "The Republicans in the City Council will stand on the steps of City Hall with any good government group, with Mayor Bloomberg. Let's call for a nationwide search. Let's call for a blue ribbon panel."
The board's top spot has been vacant for more than two years, something critics say is an example of the board's deep dysfunction.
"Sometimes you sit there and you say, "Can it possibly get any worse?" And then you look at our Board of Elections and, "Yes it can," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in 2010.
"The Board of Elections is an old throwback to the patronage-driven Tammany Hall days of political bossism in New York," said Dick Dadey of Citizens Union. "So we would love to see this opportunity not wasted."
They're facing a crowded September primary, one the board says it may be unprepared for.
Board officials wanted to move this year's primary date, saying it need more time to prepare for a runoff.
But the State Senate's co-leader rejected the idea on Wednesday.
The Assembly Speaker's office said Friday that a change is "highly unlikely."
So, Oddo says, let the search begin.
"If I were on a sinking ship, I would want as many hands on deck as possible," Oddo said.

Saban said he sat down with his senior quarterback last week leading up to the Crimson Tide's game with Georgia State. The conversation centered on McCarron's handling of the offense and how Saban wanted his quarterback to continuing doing what he is doing.
"Don't try to force things to happen that really aren't there," Saban said. "Don't try to think that you've got to make a big play or put pressure on yourself and you want to make an explosive play so you try to take a chance throwing one up when something else is available to you."
McCarron has adjusted as teams are game-planning to take away the Tide's deep passing threats. This season, McCarron has remained efficient, completing 71.4 percent of his throws and tossing 10 touchdowns compared to three interceptions. Per pass, McCarron is averaging 8.32 yards while methodically driving the Tide down the field with quick throws.
McCarron has hit deep passes occasionally, with his long of 51 yards going to wide receiver Kenny Bell against Texas A&M. It was a mid-range throw, but Bell was able to evade defenders and score. His longest completion in the air came on a 44-yard flea-flicker touchdown pass to wide receiver DeAndrew White against the Aggies. McCarron hit a wide-open White in stride a few steps away from the end zone.
White also caught a 30-yard strike from McCarron against Georgia State, but other than that, the Tide hasn't gone deep much.
"I'm going to take what (defenses) give me no matter what," McCarron said. "Teams know we have deep threats so they're going to be smart and make us have sustained drives and move the ball consistently. They're going to take away deep passes, not let us have explosive plays."
Added Saban, "I think AJ's M.O. as a player and probably in a very positive way, he doesn't make a lot of poor decisions because he's willing to do that, willing to have that kind of patience and make good choices and decisions about where he goes with the ball."
McCarron's receivers have adjusted their play, which has made his job a little easier. What truly makes this group special, in Saban's estimation, is that "our guys really complement each other very well."
"We have guys that are really good at the roles that we want them to play," Saban said. "We have enough speed guys and vertical guys and slot and tough guys guys that are good blockers and some guys that are really good possession catchers that you can count on in critical situations to get open, that play smart and consistently make plays."
Alabama's top four receivers -- White, Bell, Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones -- make plays in different ways. White has emerged as the go-to wide receiver on the outside with Amari Cooper, the Tide's most productive receiving threat a year ago, slowed by nagging foot and toe injuries since preseason practice. White is the team's second leading receiver with 15 receptions for 212 yards and three touchdowns.
White said offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has incorporated shorter routes into the Tide's offensive scheme to combat opposing team's using two deep safeties. White said the speed the receiver group has used to burn defenders deep is now used to make moves in the open field to create plays after the catch.
"We're just explosive, you know," White said. "Fast, so that helps our game a lot. If you have speed and athletic ability, you can turn it into a big play."
Bell, known for his flea-flicker catches and other deep balls, has caught nine passes for 132 yards and a touchdown. He's changed his game and has gone across the middle more this season.
Norwood is considered the team's possession receiver because of his timely catches and third-down conversions. He ranks third on the team with 12 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown.
"He's one of those guys that you always know what you're going to get," Saban said. "In critical times in the game, he's going to do it exactly like he's always done it and you can count on it. He has made a lot of big plays around here in a lot of difficult situations."
Added McCarron on Norwood, "He's not really scared to go up and get the ball across the middle, either. It allows us as an offense to have him as a weapon either outside or down the middle and for him to go up and make a play. He's done an excellent job for us. I can't say enough good things about him though."
Jones is the group's swiss army knife. From the slot, he leads the team with 20 grabs for 232 yards and two touchdowns. His speed and shiftiness make him an absolute nightmare to cover.
Saban said Jones could be a running back and that he's a really good "catch-it-and-run-it guy."
He has become one of McCarron's favorite targets.
"He has been doing a great job," McCarron said. "He's just a hard guy to cover for teams in the slot. … He allows our offense to expand."
Saban said he appreciates the receivers versatility and knows that the group's success is important for the Tide moving forward.
"Sometimes you can have really good receivers, but if they all do the same thing, it's almost like a basketball team," Saban said. "You can't have all point guards, and you can't have all centers."

Purge the air from the radiators.
I just had my boiler and pump replaced. 1st and 2nd floor seem to be fine giving heat but the basement rads are cold and they used to be really hot.
this is my system
my heating guy - doesn't seem to be familiar with monoflow systems. I am suspecting that either the pump is in the wrong direction or maybe the velocity is too slow or too fast to get monoflow t valves to operate.
The supply loop running along the ceiling is hot as hell but the pipes running to the rads below the supply loop are cold as hell.
Can you help.
Posting the MonoFlo site tells us nothing about YOUR system, it just tells HOW it should be installed. Basement radiators could be self venting, depending on how they are connected. For them to operate properly they must use TWO monoflow tees, feed and return, and the flow through them must be in the proper direction, meaning that the return may appear to be backwards if it is not labeled correctly.and they must be adequately spaced to produce a degree of flow resistance between them.

Leaders explore the status of continuing medical education around the world.
The future of CME is here in this room," said Paul Piché, president of HIT Global and president of the Global Alliance for Medical Education, addressing the 140 participants who came from around the world to attend the 15th Annual GAME Meeting in Montréal in June. While the quality and quantity of healthcare available varies from country to country, the need for high-quality continuing medical education is shared around the globe. That's why it's essential to understand different countries' CME systems, and to find ways to harmonize — not homogenize — these systems to form a more effective global CME community, he said.
Speakers from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America shared information about their respective healthcare systems, regulatory environments and structures, and the role CME can have in enhancing healthcare provider competence and performance.
CME Moving Toward CPD in U.S., Canada, Europe
North American and European countries are working on where and how commercial supporters should be involved in CME; on how to allot credit for CME in an era of exponential growth in alternate forms of education beyond the traditional meetings model; and on identifying the metrics, strategies, and tools needed to shift the focus of HCP education from a knowledge-based CME process approach to continuing professional development, which starts with outcomes and is ongoing throughout a physician's career.
United States: In the U.S., there are many signs that CME is moving toward CPD, said Alejandro Aparicio, director, CPPD, American Medical Association, Chicago. For example, the AMA's credit system is moving away from counting hours of participation (except for live activities, where one hour still equals one credit) and toward awarding credit based on the achievement of goals. Aparicio pointed out that the future of CME in the U.S. will likely include an increase in performance-improvement-based CME, point-of-care learning, education becoming part of physician order-entry products, and patient-care team learning. Technology will continue to play a key role in CME's evolution, and simulation use in CPD also will be on the rise. However, the total number of CME providers and available commercial support dollars for CME will likely decrease.
Canada: Though CME has only recently begun to be required in some provinces, more provinces are expected add mandatory CME requirements in the near future, said Bernard Marlow, director, Continuing Education, College of Family Physicians in Mississauga, Ontario. Canada, which has four accrediting systems, is considering a new proposed credit system under which physicians would be required to earn 250 points over three years, with more points being awarded for activities with higher-level outcomes (improvement in performance, patient health, and community health). Canada also is seeing a rise in e-CME: 90 percent of physicians surveyed recently said they had tried it, and 50 percent said they used e-CME on a regular basis, Marlow reported.
Europe: Having traditionally viewed CME as a way to maintain academic knowledge and skills, Europe is moving toward CPD as well, said Bernard Maillet, MD, secretary general of the European Union of Medical Specialists-European Accreditation Council for CME. The push in Europe, he said, was to have the EACCME act as a clearinghouse for CME accreditation and credits in Europe. It would help harmonize the CME efforts of its member countries, but not standardize them.
In Europe, the future of CME will stress the systematic evaluation of activities by participants as well as long-distance learning, said Maillet. Unlike his counterparts in the U.S. and Canada, Maillet said that Europe still does not believe that mandatory CME is a good solution to the problem of ensuring that healthcare providers stay up-to-date — CME should remain voluntary while moving in the CPD direction.
CME in Asia
The focus in Asia is more on developing accreditation systems for CME and post-graduate education in general than on shifting from CME to CPD. The three panelists also said that, when it comes to measuring outcomes, Asia is generally still measuring at level 1, which charts attendance, rather than at higher levels of competence, performance, or patient health.
Japan: Hikaru Matsuda, MD, president of Hyogo University of Health Sciences in Kobe, Japan, explained that while there is no mandatory recertification system, the Japan Medical Association conducts its own CME program and recertifies those who clear its requirements every three years. Approximately 70 percent of its membership is certified. The Japanese Board of Medical Specialties sets the standards for quality control and certification, similar to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the U.S. In 2002, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, which regulates medicine in Japan, set up its own medical specialty accreditation system, separate from that of JBMS. Now both organizations are working to refine the specialty society accreditation and certification systems.
India: "We hardly have a CME system in our country," said Saurabh Jain, MD, director of CME Solutions, Indegene Lifesystems, Bangalore. Three states — Maharashtra, Punjab, and Kerala — have mandatory CME systems that require physicians to complete 30 hours of CME every five years. However, these programs have been in place for only a year, so it will be four years before the first doc has to reregister. The state of Delhi also has a voluntary system, he said. The biggest CME issue in India, Jain said, is finding ways to establish a credible and objective CME system. While live symposia still make up more than 50 percent of the CME offerings in India, Internet-based CME already constitutes more than 20 percent of the total and is growing rapidly.
Malaysia: There are two key players here: the Malaysian Medical Council, which registers physicians for practice and provides certificates for completion of CPD; and the Malaysian Medical Association, which accredits education from CPD providers. Providers submit details of their program to the MMA in advance and then receive points allocated on a grading system. While CPD is voluntary for private doctors (it is mandatory for government physicians), "it's a very competitive environment," said Lisa Sullivan, group managing director, In Vivo Communications, Singapore. "The more certificates they can hang on their walls, the more their patients like them." While Malaysian docs have access to several online CME systems through the MMA, Internet access in rural areas, where many practice, is limited.
The MMC has had a grading system in place for 10 years, but many private docs still don't use it because they don't have to. There are plans to make it mandatory to acquire a certain number of points through the grading system to get the annual practicing certificate. However, when Sullivan asked the president of the MMA CPD Committee how long it would be before it was compulsory, he replied, "It has taken us 10 years to get this far, and I expect at least another 10 before CME/CPD is compulsory."
CME in Latin America
Specialty societies play a large role in Latin American CME. While societies in Argentina and Mexico are beginning to require continuing education and/or professional development participation for certification and recertification, there still is a long way to go before CME or CPD becomes mandatory for licensure.
Argentina: The government and social security employ most docs in Argentina; only 15 percent are in private practice. CPD is not mandatory. Until the pediatric society began a formal program in 1987, CPD programs were informal in Argentina, said Angel Centeno, MD, chair of the Department of Biomedical Education Committee, Universidad Austral, Buenos Aires. The cardiology society then followed suit; now roughly 60 percent of pediatric physicians and 25 percent of cardiologists have been certified, he said.
While most of the CPD has fallen to medical societies, medical schools now are recognizing the need to get involved, especially since the societies' accrediting agency wants to add conducting CME to its requirements. "We need to lobby for an organized system, and to involve all stakeholders," said Centeno.
Mexico: Forty-six more specialty boards have become engaged in the certification and recertification of medical specialties since the first Specialty Board on Clinical and Surgical Pathology was established back in the 1960s, said Enrique Wolpert, MD, coordinator, National Normative Council of Medical Specialties, Academia Mexicana de Medicina, Mexico City. While certification remains voluntary for licensure, more specialty societies require it for their certifications. The Mexican Senate and House of Representatives also are considering making certification a requirement. In addition, hospitals, medical schools, and the private sector in general are also beginning to require physicians to have a valid certificate.
The National Normative Council of Medical Specialties believes in the power of CPD to improve healthcare delivery while reducing medical errors and costs. However, said Wolpert, the CME requirements need to be made more homogenous across the specialty boards.
Lewis Miller, principal, Wentz Miller & Associates, Darien, Conn., who moderated the Latin American panel, also talked about the need to create a Latin American Council of CME. This council, he said, would bring together leaders from medical societies, academia, and governmental agencies to define CME terms and common goals among HCPs in the region, and to develop a map for the future.

Rather, in this action packed DVD based on the critically-acclaimed comic book mini-series by Darwyn Cooke, regular schlubs like Hal Jordan, John Jones and Barry Allen answer the call -- and in the process become the legendary heroes known as Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and The Flash, respectively -- while Supes, Bats and Wonder Woman play supporting roles for a change.
So to celebrate the release of the new DVD - and maybe school some of you non-fanboys out there on the JLA and DC Comics characters - UGO presents the Top 11 superheroes from Justice League: The New Frontier.

Math & Computer Science
From developing an immersive 3D virtual reality game to teach students languages, to creating mathematical models to better understand and improve the campus handicap accessibility routes, to evolving molecules through computer simulations to have specific chemical properties, our students learn to apply theory to real world issues in creative and interdisciplinary ways. Along the way, they develop concise and logical patterns of thinking, hone problem-solving skills and learn critical thought processes that carry them throughout life. The advantages of getting a mathematics and computer science education at Southwestern are as follows.
Critical thinking and analysis skills for the 21st century. Our students not only gain logical and critical thinking skills in their mathematics and computer science courses but also learn how to leverage the use of computers for graphical visualization, data analysis, and creative problem solving.
Small class sizes and direct access to professors. Our upper level courses typically have enrollments of 20 or less, often 10-15, which allows professors and students to engage more readily and facilitates students' connections with their peers. Through these interactions, the members of the faculty are better able to serve as mentors and advisors in preparation for graduate study and careers.
Independent studies and research opportunities. Members of the faculty offer independent studies to individual students as a creative option. Motivated students also have opportunities to engage in research projects with professors. Students may apply for departmental honors, allowing for a deeper exploration into topics of interest.
Our extracurricular activities. The department supports involvement beyond the classroom, including presentations and posters at regional and national conferences, preparation for competitions such as the Putnam exam, programming contests and COMAP. We also have active and fun student clubs that are involved in campus-wide events.

Jacket Bleeds, Customer Service Ignores
Posted by Amagnaguagno on 08/30/2012
NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT -- One rainy day in late May, I wore a red, black, and blue cotton-nylon Tommy Hilfiger jacket (3 months old). Although the jacket is lined, the red on the jacket shoulders bled through the lining onto my shirt underneath.
In June I phoned Hilfiger Customer Service, which promised to send me a Return Authorization (RA) so the jacket could be "evaluated." If found defective, Hilfiger would send a replacement jacket. The RA did not arrive.
In a second call, Maria L. seemed efficient. She requested all the information I had given previously and promised to refer the matter to Steve, her supervisor, who would phone me. She asked for a back-up email address to confirm, a second telephone number, and promised to follow up personally. No call came, no RA.
A third call: I spoke to Rosa, who was polite and thorough. She retook all the same information. Nothing happened: no callback, no RA.
On 7/24/2012, I sent a complaint letter to Gary Sheinbaum, Chief Executive Officer, Tommy Hilfiger North America, and to Sam Sperrazza, Executive Vice President, Tommy Hilfiger North America Retail, TOMMY HILFIGER, USA, 601 West 26th Street, New York, NY 10001. No response.

The waterproof is true?
Posted by Ilonadorsi on 08/14/2012
RIO DE JANEIRO -- Dear,
I bought a Tommy Hilfiger's watch at Rio de Janeiro's Dufry to my husband. At the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS it is written that the watch is WATER RESISTANT to showering or swimming, behind the watch it is written 50M.
However, my husband swam with the watch and got water in it. The watch broke.
I took the watch to Vivara, the authorized service in Brazil and they told me that ANY TOMMY'S WATCH IS WATER RESISTANT. I argued that it is written in the watch and they said that it is written but it is not true...
They want to charge me R$ 330,00, about USD 165,00, to fix the watch.
The watch cost USD 120,00.
I wonder if that's how Tommy works and actually watches are not water resistant.
Best regards,
Ilona d'Orsi.

There are varying levels of water resistance. Note, water resistant does not mean "water proof". Generally speaking a water resistance rating of 100 meters is adequate for most swimming or even snorkeling. A watch with a water resistance rating of 50 meters or less may or may not survive prolonged exposure to water.
Posted by copper_works_ on 2012-08-14:
You might want to contact the manufacturer if the store isn't following through. You don't say which watch it is, but with the 50M unless your husband was scuba diving should be covered. Water Resistant - 165 Feet (50 M)
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-08-15:
A manufacturer's rating (eg "50m") is an *interpretation*, and unfortunately can't be related to an ISO standard. While "50m" should be the minimum rating to use and survive normal swimming, obviously they missed the mark on this one. Excellent warning for others, though at your expense.
What is interesting to note is that any rating such as "30m" "50m" or "100m" doesn't mean the watch can withstand those depths for prolonged exposure.

I don't know if this will help since you are out of the county, but you could try this.

Run by MORONS
Posted by Wod42 on 06/01/2012
This is the poorest managed company I have ever tried to do business with. Their website is a joke and does not work properly. Orders are canceled by the company without being notified and customer service will not even attempt to help you.

If this is a description of typical customer service, I might be inclined to agree the company may be run by "morons".
Is it possible that there are more details to your complaint that would make the management/employees appear perhaps lazy or poorly trained, and less like "morons"?

Online Store
Posted by Dyer123 on 01/26/2012
I just cannot stop thinking about the bad experience I have had. I am a student and want to buy some gifts for my friends whenever I am leaving for my own country. I placed an order for more than twenty items and was told that my credit card information was incorrect; I called the credit card company and was told that everything with my credit card was correct. I called the Tommy Hilfiger online customer service and was told that the limited amount of items is twenty.
I removed some of my items but again, the system says that my card information was incorrect; I called the credit card authorization department again and was told that nothing wrong at all with my credit card; I called the Tommy Hilfiger Online Store customer service again and was told that the limited amount of items is thirteen.
I removed some more items; but again I was still told that my credit card information was incorrect; I called the credit card company again and got the same answer that my credit card information was correct. I called the Tommy Hilfiger customer service again and was told that the limited amount of items is ten.
I adjusted the quantity to nine items and finally I passed the verification and got a confirmation email. I just waited for the shipment notification, but I did not get any email; after three weeks I logged into my account and found that my order had been cancelled.
I called the customer service again to ask about the reasons and was told that he could not do anything for me because my order was cancelled, and he did not even ask me about any of my order information, including my order number, my email address or any other related information, and he was very impatient and rude.
First time when I made a purchase online and emailed to ask about return policy, I did not get any responses; this time when I tried to make a purchase, I found that my order was cancelled without being given any notification and reasons. And when I tried to ask for an explanation, I got nothing.

I think it's time to pick another store. They have wasted too much of your time already. If they don't know what the limit is, how are you supposed to know? Sounds like they don't know what they're doing and don't deserve your business.

I would have given up way before the OP did. I agree with Venice, find a new store.

Poor Service and Mislabeled Products
Posted by Debenr2004 on 09/01/2011
I bought two shirts at a Tommy Hilfiger outlet store in Seacaucus, NJ. When I arrived home I found the shirts that were labeled as mediums to be so small I couldn't even button them. I returned to the store with shirts and receipt in hand to simply exchange them for shirts that would fit me. The store manager said there was a "no return" policy in spite of the mislabeling and the stores negligence in not notifying me of the mislabeling. This was outrageous, but because the store manager claimed no authority in exchanging my shirts I agreed with her suggestion that she email her superior and that I would be contacted. I left my name and email, but after almost two weeks have heard nothing. This is unacceptable. This company no longer deserves my business.

I'm not familiar with shopping at outlet stores, but heard they don't typically take returns. I hate trying on clothes at the store, but most times that I skip it, I end up wishing I hadn't.
Posted by BEJ on 2011-09-01:
Why didn't you try them on before purchasing?
Posted by At Your Service on 2011-09-01:
I agree with BEJ. It's possible you may take a large in this brand.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-09-01:
Along the same lines AYS, I've noticed that a lot of the designer brands run smaller. Since I normally wear a large I have to buy an extra large in designer clothes to get them to fit.
Posted by momsey on 2011-09-02:
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-09-02:
I enforce a policy with my family when shopping..."TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT!" A large in one brand may be a medium in another.
Posted by momsey on 2011-09-02:
Sorry for the random post. My phone was going haywire.
Anyway, are you sure you're a medium in TH clothes? Different brands and designers have different standards for size. Also, it's an outlet store. A lot of the clothes sold there are seconds or irregulars, which is why they're discounted.
Posted by Skye on 2011-09-02:
I think it's always best to try on anything you buy. Different brands always run different sizes.
Posted by steven & linda on 2011-09-02:
hi - we're new here but i saw you post and maybe i can offer some help. does the receipt or a sign in the store indicate their return policy?
you might want to try another hilfiger outlet and see if they might be able to help you or if not, try contacting the company directly and see if they can be of assistance.

Bad quality
Posted by Chikokochi on 08/13/2011
I just bought a Hilfiger tote bag (style#: W8L401226) from one of its store in Singapore and have used it for 5 times. I am really upset to find out that the quality is not as good as what the brand looks. The leather handle part is the problem. I wish that Hilfiger will do some correction on executing the design. Honestly, I feel like betrayed by the brand because I just used this for freaking 5 times and even my other unbranded bag which I used almost everyday last longer than this Hilfiger bag.

Discrimination Towards Asian! Rude Manager
Posted by Sprite80 on 03/04/2011
I was at Tommy Hilfiger Outlet store in Ontario, ca (Store # 104) this morning. I was told that by a friend they are having a great sale ( because she just purchased the night before). I am Chinese with a big family so I buy Tommy as gifts ever year for my relatives when I go back, because Tommy cost more over the sea. So this morning when I walked in the store I saw a sweater I like so I asked store girl how many I can buy, she told me I can buy 5pc of the same item. I went with a friend and both of us decided to buy the same items because the price was awesome. We did our shopping, however at the check out the manager from the store [snip - no names please] told me she will ONLY SELL ME FOUR ! I asked her why, then she handed over me the parallel imports paper, I explained to her I am not reselling them and I can cut off the tags in front of her, then she told me NO. because she can sale limited number to me, then I told her I asked the other store person, and she told me I can buy FIVE. Then this Maribell girl told me, she doesn't care but can only sale me Four in total. SO I asked her if she is discriminated towards me? And why my friend can buy 6 of the same items last night, but I can only buy four? Then she said I was rude and she will not sell to me. The story is not finished yet, she also rejected to sale to my friend, for the reason we are "friends". My friend ended up buying 4 after questioning her.
I am writing this and hope this can get to whoever in charge in Tommy. I feel sad and discriminated. I can provide every information to prove that I am not reselling the clothing. But Tommy needs to give me reason why I am NOT allowed to buy the products I want but others can.

It depends who's on duty. Some cashiers might not be as well versed in limits. It's an outlet store, a lot of outlet stores DO have item limits to stave off resellers. You admitted to them someone in your family had already bought 6, they are giving you 4, that averages to 5 each. I don't think this had ANYTHING to do with you being Asian.
Posted by Skye on 2011-03-04:
Well said Yt.
OP, they have to have limits, this way every other shopper gets a fair chance at purchasing the items.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-03-04:
I am not quite sure why there was a disagreement of 4 vs. 5, but there was. However, I don't believe this has anything to do with discrimination.
If the CSR felt she was abiding by policy, and then you accused her of discrimination, I can see how she may take that as "rude". Stores can refuse service to anyone.
I'm not sure how you can prove that you aren't reselling clothing, though I am not suggesting that you are.
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-04:
Back when I was in high school, it was seen that Tommy Hilfiger apparels were worn mostly by hip hop artists and young African-Americans. It was a surprised to the high school kids that the designer of the popular Tommy Hilfiger is white.

I had a similar experience just like yours at same store with that manager assistant. i complainted to the store manager Beth @909 484 0175. you may also send an email to email@example.com. but response to the complaint may be very slow. so far i didnt hear any thing from the manager or the company.

Poor exchange policy and poor customer service for tourists
Posted by Samchu on 10/27/2010
A hole was found in Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt
I am living in Hong Kong. I bought a Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt last month when I travelled to New York. When I was back to Hong Kong after three weeks of purchase, a hole was found in polo shirt. Then I send email to US Tommy Helpdesk. They said that exchange policy only apply to US. They suggested me to contact the local Tommy Hilfiger store.
Then I went to local store. They said that they don't have same model. What they can do is to fix the hole by needlework. I refused and email to US Tommy Helpdesk again. I emailed them twice but no reply so far.
In fact it is easy to solve my problem. E. g. refund via credit card, send the exchanged item to local store... But Tommy helpdesk just select to escape. And I have no way to escalate.
As a result, I would recommend all tourists to be careful when they bought Tommy Hilfiger in US.

They did, in fairness, seek to resolve the problem with you. However, your point about being cautious with foreign purchases is well taken. Examining merchandise carefully before buying it can avoid problems at a later date.
Posted by shayen on 2010-10-27:
You didn't specify if you had the receipt or not. What does the receipt say about returns and exchanges? Their websites is pretty detailed about their policies, you might want to check it out. Piggybacking what Alain said, I would be more careful in the future when making purchases, i.e. carefully check the merchandise.

Unrepairable Watch
Posted by Matini on 01/30/2010
I purchases a stainless steel watch Model F90271 a year ago for my boyfriends 21st birthday. The battery stopped working 6 months later. When I went to have it replaced, they told me that they could not remove the back of the watch. Thanks Tommy for the POS watch!

Was this a so-called "knockoff" watch bearing a Tommy Hilfiger logo, from a flea market, or was this sold by a reputable retailer? Most battery-powered watches have replaceable batteries; it's just the matter of removing the back. The backs of most watches could be popped off with a knife or screwed off with needlenose pliers. If the battery isn't replaceable, it is a super-cheap watch that is sealed. Most jewelers and mall watch kiosks...even Walmart's or Target's jewelry department, could replace the battery if they could get the back off.

Katy Perry's Latest Gift: Her 'Birthday' VideoClaudine Zap at Yahoo Music3 hrs ago
In her latest video, "Birthday," Katy Perry pretends to be five of "the world's worst birthday party entertainers." Give that woman an Oscar!
Perry attended five different, apparently real-life, birthday parties in disguise as the entertainment. The problem is, she's your worst nightmare.
She's hilariously bad. As an animal wrangler, she makes kids cry. As a creepy clown, she seems to cause a car crash. At a senior home, she shocks with an aging burlesque act — and then supposedly passes out. And, spoiler alert, she never reveals herself... except as her princess character.
(Note: Video contains profanities)
The video is her gift to the possibly very unhappy guests. Sounds nuts, right? Guess who agrees: Katy Perry tweeted, "Guys. The video for #Birthday is the most insane one I've ever done."
Awful or awesome? See for yourself.

"For this look, I followed his lead. He dressed me tonight," the pop star said. "He wanted me to dress like him, so I obeyed him."
[Photos: Arrivals at t he 2014 Grammys Red Carpet]
"Yes, I did," David said about playing stylist.
The two wore black tuxedo jackets, black pants, white shirts and black ties — and topped the look with broad-brimmed hats. Madonna accessorized with a cane (due to a lingering dance injury), sparkly fingerless gloves, "me" ring… and a gold grill.
"Yeah, I'm grillin'," she said. "It pisses everybody off when I wear my grill, so that's why I wear it." That Madge, always the rebel...
She did spill some of her grillin' secrets. Madonna wears the tooth bling "when it matches my outfit. When I don't have to eat. Actually, I've learned to eat with my grill in."
Creepy Clown Invades Grammys! But There's a Perfectly Good Reason...Yahoo Music2 mths ago
There's a clown on the Grammysred carpet. We're sorry if this image causes you nightmares. Oh, but wait. It's just one of the co-founders of Grammy-winning metal band Slipknot... no need for concern!
As rock fans well know, Shawn Crahan (who actually goes by the name "Clown" on stage) has considered a clown mask part of a proper going-out ensemble since the late '90s. So, it's no real surprise that the drummer showed up in the freaky get-up, although he frightened a few folks not familiar with his band's signature look.
Can we talk about the terrifying clown walking the #ERedCarpet at the #Grammys?! http://t.co/G27th5wkiC pic.twitter.com/oPbt4NERBp

Boise Fry Company Shares Strategy: Five Steps for French-FryingClaudine Zap at Yahoo! On the Road10 mths ago
As On the Road made its way to Idaho, where potato is king, Chow Ciao host Fabio Viviani stopped in Boise to master the art of making the perfect fry.
The man to show him how: Boise Fry Company co-owner Blake Lingle, who walked Chef Fabio through the five steps of French-frying a potato, ending with a fry-flavoring competition, for which Lingle clearly holds the home-field advantage.
Fun fact: At the Boise Fry Company, the purple taters are the most popular menu item.
This was one of the tastier stops for Yahoo's concert tour On the Road. The show moves on to Europe. Keep up with event details and more.
Yahoo! On the Road: Austin Super SmoothiesClaudine Zap at Yahoo! On the Road11 mths ago
One of the perks of touring the country during the On the Road concert festival is checking out the local attractions.
One such place -- JuiceLand in Austin, Texas -- drew in thirsty and curious Yahoo! hosts Ben Lyons and Jerry Trainor, star of Nickelodeon's "Wendell & Vinnie."
Watch the video to see our fearless reporters sample a greenish-looking beverage called a Ninja Bachelor Party. One of the juice bar's most popular specialty blends, it mixes up fresh jalapeno, pineapple, kale, parsley, celery, and salt. Um, yum?
But it gets even stranger from there. Juice shop proprietor Jordan says the shop's made-to-order concoctions include other odd additions like hemp seeds and hemp protein, as well as Himalayan salt and Ormus Supergreens, a "green mix grown out of diatomaceous earth" from volcanic ash in Utah. Translation: fancy dirt.
Clearly, this is not your basic glass of orange juice. There are some serious claims going into these silly-sounding mixes of fruits, veggies, and other weird stuff. But are the health claims all hype?
Billy Joel's Big-Hearted Duet Goes ViralClaudine Zap at Stop The Presses! (NEW)1 yr ago
Meet the Piano Man Jr. As seen in a video that's taking the Internet by storm, Billy Joel fulfilled a Vanderbilt University student's ultimate dream: a onstage performance of "New York State of Mind" with the singer-songwriter.
The student, Michael Pollack, stood up during a question-and-answer session with the singer and posed what had to be the question he's been waiting to ask his whole life.
Mentioning the performer's sax player, he said, "My favorite song of yours is 'New York State of Mind.' I was very fortunate to play with Richie Cannata many times in New York City, and I was wondering if I could play it with you."
After a short pause, Joel said, "OK."
To wild cheers, the student went onstage, and Joel asked him, "What do you play? You play piano? What key do you do it in?"
"What key do you want it in?" Pollack shot back. The musical talent then showed that he could tickle the keys. From the first chords, it was clear: This kid could play.
The college freshman almost stole the show with his obvious skills, and the crowd went wild for the performance.
Rick Springfield Arrested For Missing A Court DateClaudine Zap at Stop The Presses! (NEW)1 yr ago
Singer-songwriter Rick Springfield had a close call with the law. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department confirmed to Yahoo! that the 63-year-old was arrested this morning on a bench warrant.
But before he could be booked, Springfield's lawyer contacted the judge and had the warrant recalled.
The performer, who apparently skipped a February court date tied to a DUI from 2011, had been expected to show proof he had completed an alcohol education program and pay $1,555 in fines, according to TMZ.
The "Jessie's Girl" star posted a photo on his Facebook page of the sheriff's station where he found himself today, writing:
"My home away from home. Lost hills sheriff station. Arrested this am on a bench warrant. I didn't know that I was supposed appear in court a few weeks ago. It was to do with the old DUI charge and it's been cleared up and i am free to go. Thought I might miss the gig tonite but I will be there and we will celebrate together."
Melissa Etheridge's Hair, Johnny Depp's Cameo and Other Burning Grammy Mysteries SolvedClaudine Zap at And The Winner Is...1 yr ago
The 55th Annual Grammy Awards have come and gone, but some questions remain. Here the top mysteries from the award show, solved.
Melissa Etheridge in the house. It was quick, but the twittersphere certainly noticed. During a Lumineers performance of "Ho, Hey," the camera panned to a woman singing along with long, slick backed hair. Some didn't recognize the singer immediately, but Melissa Etheridge had been spotted in the audience.
Etheridge's last high-profile moment may have also been at the Grammys back in 2005, when the folk-rock singer, who was battling cancer, rocked the show, bald.
Taylor Swift vs. Her Ex! Chris Brown vs. Frank Ocean! Jay-Z vs. The-Dream's Hat! Best of Grammy DissesClaudine Zap at And The Winner Is...1 yr ago
Maybe there should be another category for the 55th Grammy Awards -- best "dis." Plenty were lobbed, and we're not talking about the Twittersphere -- these insults were hurled right from the stage. Here some of the most memorable moments some would probably prefer to forget.
The woman who has turned the boyfriend dis into an art form: Taylor Swift got the last word at her Grammy performance of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." She mocked her One Direction ex, Harry Styles, by doing a fake British voice for the "guy" who is pleading to get back together with her. The music icon changed the lyrics to "So he calls me up and I'm like, 'I'm busy opening up the Grammys.'" Future boyfriends of Swift, you've been warned.
Chris Brown and Frank Ocean are still in a spat: The two took their differences all the way to the Staples Center. Ocean and Brown, both up for Best Urban Contemporary Album, are officially rivals. Ocean ended up winning the Grammy, and although he received a standing ovation for the award, there was one person in the audience who wouldn't stand, or even clap: Chris Brown.
Double-Decker Red Carpet For VMA Awards Made For FansClaudine Zap at Stop The Presses!1 yr ago
The red carpet for MTV's Video Music Awards is being supersized. Stars (many in heels) will face a daunting double-decker behemoth with multiple levels. Hope those special-event gift bags have hiking boots.
The structure was inspired by a multilevel driving range. But instead of golf balls, fans will be treated to multiple levels of stars at the VMA preshow. Whether it will be a treat for the stars seems up for debate.
[Related: More MTV Video Music Awards coverage]
The superstructure is being built to span the 300 feet between the Nokia Theater and the Staples Center (where the event will be held) and is believed to be the first of its kind -- and possibly the last, once artists realize how many levels are involved. Performers may want to trade in their sky-high heels for sneakers -- or the entertainment may turn into some unplanned tumbles.
Jonathan Mussman, executive in charge of the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Pre-Show, told Yahoo! that stars have been made aware of the change to the red carpet walk, saying, "They were instructed, 'Be fashionable, but bring some comfortable shoes.'" Rihanna in flats? As if!

I got on a plane.
Usually, if our family has somewhere far to go, I force us to road trip. I hate flying.
It's not that I'm scared that the plane will crash or anything. I'm scared I'll throw up.
The very first time I flew on a plane, as a freshman in college, I got airplane ear and couldn't hear out of the right side of my head for the next 48 hours. I also discovered that I get airsick.
The second time I flew on a plane, I medicated myself with Dramamine and was in a fog for the next 48 hours. Someday I'd really like to get back to Seattle and see what I missed.
There was the memorable business trip to Washington, D.C., with my boss, when I really, really regretted having that pineapple smoothie before boarding.
I'm also snakebit when it comes to flying. Even though I've only flown a handful of times in the past decade, there has been trouble EVERY SINGLE TIME.
When I was coming back from hiking the Appalachian Trail, laden with an enormous backpack and longing to get back to civilization and a hot bath, the plane was delayed due to mechanical failure.
When we flew to a family funeral with a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, the plane was delayed for three hours.
Back when we lived in Texas, we would frequently visit family in Alabama. We did the math and figured out it really wasn't that much quicker to fly than to drive, once you added in the hour to drive to the airport, the hour to get through security, the hour at baggage-claim and the two hours to drive from the airport. Oh, and the extra half-hour I spent in the bathroom after getting off the plane.
It hasn't gotten any easier since the last time I flew. Does anybody know if Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer counts as a gel or not?
Will a copper necklace set off the metal detector?
Yes, that was me holding up the line at security.
I drove an hour to the airport, spent an exorbitant amount of money on close-in parking, still had to hike to the terminal, then had to unpack the bag I'd just packed, take off my shoes, wait in one line, then another line, then another line, had to squeeze myself into a narrow airplane seat with no legroom — boy, those things certainly haven't gotten any bigger — had to share an armrest with a complete stranger, my ears kept popping, there was turbulence that made me queasier than normal, and I didn't even get a bag of peanuts.
I think it would be easier to travel by stagecoach.
Although I have to admit, the view is great from up there. When else do you get to see the tops of clouds?

"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"The quality of the invites were better than expected. They look very high end. We ordered all of the accessories and will now be ordering our programs. Don't hesitate they are beautiful!"
"These invitations are exactly how we imagined they would be. I had been looking for quite some time and nothing had really jumped out at us, and that is what we wanted. We did the pearl shimmer finish and rounded corners and it really added something extra. My fiance's favorite part, and one of mine as well, was the initials on the back. Something different, which is exactly what we were going for. Can't wait to send these out!"
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."
"This invitation is unique and entirely charming. The flowers on the front and back look like chalk drawings, which will be easy to replicate on chalk boards at our reception. In person, the invitation looks luxe and super personal - as if we had it designed just for us. We added text to the back at the invitation at no extra charge, which was a huge bonus. I'd highly recommend this design."

Lore tells us that an English retreat first used animals to ease "emotionally ill" patients' woes in the 1790s. Today, hundreds of such quadruped therapists, often officially certified for the task, roam Northwest care centers, dispensing intangible (but real, many clinicians say) aid. Almost all are dogs. Only a few are llamas.
Two of the region's working camelids, Rojo and Smokey, are helping pioneer a new role for their species: goodbye, hippie wool garments and dinner-plate cameos as "the other other burger"; hello to schools, hospitals, and rehab facilities. Their unusual career sheds light on a surprisingly rigorous niche of modern care, one likely to grow as the region's ever-advanced alt-medical landscape gets even more touchy-feely.
Becoming a therapy llama isn't easy. After Lori Gregory, the two beasts' Vancouver-area owner, saw a wheelchair-bound 5-year-old light up at the sight of Rojo, the pasture mates underwent extensive training through Portland's Dove Lewis animal hospital. At one point, the llamas were walked into a busy street to gauge responses to traffic. Their trainers also led them into unsettling simulated scenarios: humans screaming, thrashing, wearing funny hats, even surrounded by beeping machines and attached to webs of tubes.
The two animals have since made more than 600 therapeutic visits. (They do still work birthday parties and the like.) While most llamas are defensive and volatile—an entire YouTube subgenre documents their yen for spitting on people—Gregory's pets seem downright pliant. The former professional dressmaker might outfit her animals as unicorns one day and put them in thigh-high lace-up boots and flowered hats the next.
Once a month Rojo and Smokey venture to Portland's Serendipity Center, a school for children with behavioral issues. "It's really become a part of our institution," says Serendipity's Jelena Doney. "We have a lot of nonverbal autistic kids, and coaching the llamas gives them a great chance to practice language skills. I can't walk through the halls without one of the kids saying 'Is it llama day?'"

After voting in April to end Medicare as we know it for seniors, on May 4th Republicans passed a bill by a vote of 235-191 to reduce access to health care for young people (H.R. 1214, Repeal of Grants for Construction of School-Based Health Centers). This bill would repeal grants for construction, renovation and equipment of school-based health centers and rescind unobligated balances. These funds support the improvement and expansion of health centers in schools across the country to improve access to primary care health care services for children and adolescents.
Key facts:
School-Based Health Centers Have Been Effective and Successful-- Now Providing Key Health Services to Nearly 2 Million Children and Adolescents Across the Country. School-based health centers (SBHCs) are ensuring that children and adolescents across the country gain access to high-quality, comprehensive medical care, mental health services, preventive care, social services, and youth development. These centers particularly serve children and adolescents in need - children and adolescents who often do not have access to family doctors of their own.
School-Based Health Centers Have Been Shown to Increase Academic Performance and Reduce Absenteeism. For example, a recent study finds that high school SBHC users had a 50 percent reduction in absenteeism and 25 percent reduction in tardiness after receiving school-based mental health counseling. In addition, SBHC users of mental health services increased their grade point averages over time compared to nonusers.
Students Do Better When They Come to the Classroom Healthy and Ready to Work. Teachers and other educators, parents, and students alike all agree: Students perform better in the classroom when they come to school healthy and ready to work. And study after study has shown this to be true. School-based health centers (SBHCs) were initially conceived and are specifically designed to help achieve this goal. In essence, they bring the doctor's office to a school so that students can avoid unnecessary health-related absences and remain in the classroom prepared to study and learn.
School-Based Health Centers Have Become Increasingly Widespread as They Have Been Shown to be Effective. School-based health centers have been enormously successful in helping to improve students' access to health care; improve students' academic performance; decrease school absenteeism; and reduce health care costs. This, in turn, has led to a proliferation in the growth of SBHCs around the country. Indeed, over the last 15 years, the number of SBHCs has doubled. This powerful track record has engendered strong support for SBHCs - across the country and across the political spectrum.
Republicans Are Seeking to Repeal Funding for School-Based Health Centers, Despite the Fact that These Centers Are Proven to be Cost-Effective. Multiple studies have found that school-based health centers are a cost-effective investment of public resources - resulting in lower emergency room usage, hospitalizations, and Medicaid costs. In fact, patients seen at school-based health centers cost Medicaid an average of $30.40 less than comparable, non-school-based health center patients.
The Fierce Competition for These Construction/Renovation Grant Funds Demonstrates The Enormous Need for These Funds. To date, some 350 applicants in 46 states and the District of Columbia are seeking funding through the first round of competitive grants to be awarded under the school-based health center construction/renovation program. The vast majority of these projects are "shovel ready." All of these applicants are eager to carry on with the good and important work for which SBHCs have become well known and greatly appreciated.

Men's Golf Coaches
|4th Season
|St. Mary's (CA) '04
|(239) 590-7005
|Follow @FGCUCoachJensen
Brent Jensen begins his fourth season at the helm of the FGCU men's golf program in 2013-14 and sixth overall with the university. Jensen was named the second head coach in FGCU history on July 8, 2010.
In just three years, Jensen has already led FGCU to seven team victories, including four alone during the 2011-12 season. In the 2012-13 season, Jensen coached Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year and A-Sun Second Team member Edward Figueroa. He also led the Eagles to a championship at the 15-team Cobra/PUMA Invitational in October 2012, and followed that up with a 2nd-place showing at the Stetson/CFSC Invitational in November. In the spring, Jensen guided the Green and Blue to a tied for 2nd at the 16-team FAU Spring Break Championship.
The '12-'13 campaign was one of the best yet as the Eagles set a 54-hole record low of -27 (837) at the Cobra/PUMA Invitational. On the year they recorded 375 birdies, which is the fourth-highest total in a single season in program history.
Positioning players to compete at the national level has been an emphasis of focus for Jensen since taking over the program, and for each of the past two years an FGCU golfer has competed in the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship. In 2012, Brandon Pena capped his illustrious career at the Athens Region, and in 2013 Figueroa closed his initial year in the Green and Blue at the Tallahassee Region.
Overall, Jensen has navigated FGCU to its highest team national ranking in the Division-I era as in 2011-12 it closed the year No. 88 and in 2012-13 it was ranked No. 146. Additionally, in just three years, Jensen has had six players garner Atlantic Sun Conference postseason accolades.
In the 2011-12 season, Jensen led FGCU to four team tournament victories and six top-5 finishes. At the end of the year, three different Eagles were named to A-Sun all-conference teams.
Team and individual records fell in Jensen's first season as head coach in 2010-11, leading the Eagles to a pair of team titles at the Stetson Invitational and the Mizuno Savannah Intercollegiate that helped the Blue and Green climb to as high as No. 72 in the Golf Week Top 100 rankings. Along with the two wins, FGCU also had a pair of runner-ups and finished in the top 5 of eight of 11 tournaments. Along the way, the Eagles set a single-season team scoring average with a 290.8 over 33 rounds, breaking the record for par or better rounds (15), as well.
FGCU placed a player in the top 5 of eight of 11 tournaments, highlighted by senior Dan Mazziotta's pair of individual wins. On three different occasions, four players finished in the top 20 of the same tournament, while all five accomplished the feat at the Stetson Invitational in which the Eagles set a single-round record against par with a 16-under 272 in the round two and a final 54-hole score of 20-under par 844.
Jensen's tutelage also saw three players earn postseason honors from the Atlantic Sun, as Mazziotta was named to the All-Conference first team, junior Brandon Pena snagged second team accolades and Matt Cote was deemed the Freshman of the Year. Five players posted scoring averages below 74, led by Mazziotta's 71.6 average that was the second-best in program history and ranked third in the A-Sun.
After serving as an assistant under legendary coach and instructor Dr. Jim Suttie for two years, Jensen inherited the reigns of a program he helped guide to five tournament titles and an impressive 16 top-5 finishes out of 21 events from 2008-10. A trio of runner-ups from the 2009-10 season were included in those top-5s, highlighted by second place showing at the 2010 Atlantic Sun Championship. In the final round of last year's conference championship, FGCU fired a four-man score of six-under par 282 to nearly erase East Tennessee State's 10-stroke lead.
"It is with great pleasure that we witness the well deserved elevation of Brent to our head men's position. He has earned the utmost respect from our student-athletes and others closely connected to FGCU Golf," said Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh. "Likewise, he has done a tremendous job working with Coach Suttie in developing our program to the point that we are now amongst the best in the Atlantic Sun and regionally. We now look forward to reaching our goals of perennially competing for the A-Sun championship and an NCAA berth. Based on the terrific performance of this year's team and the strong core group returning, we are already excited for next year."
"I am very excited about the opportunity to continue to work with Dr. Suttie and the athletic staff at FGCU as a head coach. I believe that the future of the golf program here at FGCU is bright and I hope to help carry on the tradition of excellence that has been set in place before me," said Jensen, a native of Hinsdale, Ill. "With the continued guidance of Dr. Suttie, my goal is to make the golf program one of the strongest in the country and I will work tirelessly to help that become a reality. We have a great group of guys on our golf team that are willing to work hard and put in the time and energy it takes to be excellent. I'm excited to help guide them to another successful year."
Prior to joining Suttie at FGCU in 2008, Jensen was the assistant coach at his alma mater St. Mary's (CA) College. Jensen served three years under five-time West Coast Conference (WCC) Coach of the Year Scott Hardy, whom he also played for at St. Mary's. Jensen assisted in golf swing analysis, practice drills and tournament directing as a member of the St. Mary's staff. During Jensen's time at his alma mater, the Gaels picked up four team titles, never finished worse than fourth at the WCC Championship and turned in three of the top five single-season four-man stroke averages. Jensen also worked with six players that earned All-WCC honors, including 2005 Conference Player of the Year Joe Lanza.
As a player at St. Mary's, Jensen was a four-year letterwinner and a two-year captain. In 2000, Jensen led the Gaels in scoring average and was named the WCC Co-Freshman of the Year. Jensen finished his collegiate career with 24 rounds of par or better while ranking fifth all-time with five top-5 finishes, tied for fifth with nine top-10s and fifth with 19 top-20s.
"I'm excited for Brent and the wonderful opportunity he has ahead of him. He's been a terrific assistant over the last two years and was vital in helping me build the program to where it is today. Brent has a great knack for relating to players and getting the best out of them."
– Dr. Jim Suttie, Former FGCU Men's Golf Coach
"FGCU has landed one of the most talented young golf coaches in the country. Brent has an amazing ability to relate to the student-athlete. He is a role model and excellent mentor for today's young men. His ability to coach and mold student-athletes into talented and successful graduates will be a tremendous asset for the FGCU golf program. He brings a wealth of knowledge with his experience as a stand out collegiate player and has the rare ability to combine his playing experience with his vast knowledge of the fundamentals of the game. The FGCU men's golf program will grow and benefit greatly with Brent Jensen as the Head Coach. I am anxious to watch the success that Brent will bring to the golf program at FGCU."
– Scott Hardy, St. Mary's Head Men's Golf Coach
"Brent's passion and energy will be the perfect catalyst to the success of the men's program at FGCU. I have no doubt that when we are through the Division I transition period, National Championship trophies will be the only option for Brent and his players. During my time playing for Coach Jensen, I had my best season and I owe that to the enormous belief he had in me and the team. It was a pleasure playing for him and I wish him much success in his time at FGCU."
– Michael Hart, 2010 FGCU Men's Golf Team Captain and Recent Graduate

The "Harime Soltan" of the Ottomans refers to the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and the series dramatizes the intrigues of his harem and court. At the age of twenty-six, when his rule began, Sultan Süleyman sought to build an empire in this world more powerful and more extensive than Alexander The Great of Macedon and to render the Ottomans invincible. Throughout his 46-year reign, Sultan Süleyman became known as the greatest warrior and ruler of the East and West. The young Süleyman ascended to the throne after receiving the news of his crowning at a hunting party in 1520.

LMHI Report: Homeopathy in Iran
The Ministry of Health of Iran recognizes homeopathy as a legal alternative treatment. In Iran, only medical doctors can practice homeopathy. The Iranian Homeopathic Association, formed with the permission of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health, is the reference association for providing standards of homeopathy. Introducing Iranian Homeopathic Association (IHA) as the legal accreditation body was one of the great outcomes of the last year. To be considered a competent 'MD, homeopath', the registered member should pass a standard IHA exam in the association, becoming a RIHA license holder. Number of MDs interested in learning homeopathy is increasing in different cities of Iran . One of the high standard courses which began about 16 months ago was organized by cooperation of IHA and Medical Council of Shiraz, one of the major cities of Iran . IHA is still trying to establish better ties with both Ministry of Health and the Medical Council of Iran.

Garnet Hill Signature Pillow Protectors 57 57
Thin Fabric I bought the king size last year and they were excellent because the fabric was thick and the detail of the hidden, high quality zipper surpasses any other brand. This year I bought the queen size, and was disappointed that the fabric was much thinner and not at all like last years high quality. The zipper is still high quality, so I gave it a high rating, but for what it cost, I would have bought a cheaper brand. March 23, 2014

"I absolutely LOVE these save the dates. Awesome layout, easy to design, quick delivery. I would definitely recommend these save the dates. Plus you save on postage since postcards are cheaper to send :)"
"Since we are getting married in a rustic barn I spent months searching for the perfect save the date with no luck. The chalkboard design was exactly what we were looking for and the final product came out better than we ever could have expected. I highly recommend this design."
"We were completely satisfied with our purchase! Our pictures were clear, personalizing was easy, and the delivery was very quick. Many people complimented us on our save the date postcard."
"We used the blue option for this card and it came out looking great. It is definitely quality paper used so it doesn't feel flimsy. Very quick delivery!"
"I was overly impressed with how patient the engineers were with me making so many tweaks. I must have requested 5-7 different proofs after making small modifications. I understood that every time I made a modification, it should take 1-2 business days to get the next proof. I got them back in minutes. I requested 6 different changes, from photo rearranging to changing capitalization, in one afternoon, and every time they got back to me very quickly with my changes. I approved the proof on Tuesday afternoon and they were at my door 9 AM Friday. They look awesome!! The only reason I gave 4 stars for photo quality is because the pictures are a little fuzzy even though we used professional pictures."
