Each of the 117 rooms, suites and penthouses is designed to uplift the human spirit. Spacious bathrooms, architectural artifacts, complimentary 100 MB WIFI, Sony and Sharp LCD televisions, iHome micro-stereos, Modern Fan Company fans and Aveda bath amenities, as well as furnishings, linens and color palettes selected by designer LM Pagano create sexy, sophisticated, soothing spaces for sleep, work and play. The hotel is entirely smoke-free.
The unusual feature of these two rooftop rooms is a wall of glass doors onto a terrace, outside seating and interesting evening views of the cityscape and skyline. True to contemporary New Orleans style, there is a handmade element woven into the interiors. Gali Art's wrought-iron bedside tables and Erica Larken's totem-inspired cafe tables are topped with honed Calcutta gold marble. Modern electronics like Sharp Aquos flat-screens and iPod players are juxtaposed with a seating area that includes, timeless black and white photographs, and an "LM Chair", the designer's original antiqued velvet chair-and-a half. The substantial California King bed, with its 7' tufted headboard and layers upon layers of white linens is animated by Modern Fan Company's slow-moving "Flute" fan. Generous bathrooms feature the three-part composition of white pedestal, beveled mirror and uncommonly elegant vanity light that is dressed in strands of cascading Swarovski crystals. The closet is also customized, a feature which like the terrace makes these rooms among the more popular for extended stays.
These eight corner rooms, offer perhaps the most compelling experience in the base building. With 12' ceilings and two window-walls of natural light clad in theatrical sheers and velvetine drapes, each room feels particularly spacious and freeing to the human spirit. Like New Orleans, there is an ecclesiastical and handmade element woven into the design. Gali Art's wrought-iron bedside tables with cruciform feet, Erica Larken's totem-inspired cafe tables and the Pagan Cross corner console ebonized and silver-leafed, are each topped with honed Calcutta gold marble. Sharp Aquos flat-screens and iPod players are within easy reach. A generous seating area includes a 5' x 8' mirror, crystal chandelier and an "LM Chair", the designer's original chair-and-a half upholstered in antiqued velvet. The sprawling California King bed, with its 7' tufted headboard and layers of white on white linens is framed dramatically by tall hammered-nickel lamps and animated by the slow moving Modern Fan Company "Flute" fan above. Generous bathrooms feature dark granite vanities with oval Kallista basins and an unusually elegant vanity light dressed in strands of cascading Swarovski crystals. The closet is also customized. Like the suites and penthouses, these rooms radiate this city's signature sense of place and the optimism of this new time.
The Garden Kings are among the most quiet rooms in the hotel and are located nearest the fitness room. Situated on the third floor, each faces an interior garden comprised entirely of local sculpture and indigenous landscape. They are a favorite of the fittest among our repeat guests and some of the artisans moving to this city. LM Pagano's take on the large California King bed - 7' tufted headboard with matching base platform and layers upon layers of white on white linens is framed by tall hammered-nickel lamps with pleated, white, linen shades. Each offers a Carrera marble desk top, Sony LCD screen, the designer's namesake "LM chair-and-a-half", 5' x 8' mirror and Aveda bath amenities.
The favorite among the entrepreneurs flocking to New Orleans, apple Kings pay tribute to the "creative ones." The rooms are larger than other Kings and enjoy soaring 12' ceilings. They include a wall-mounted Sony LCD screen connected to Apple TV, a custom closet by Louisiana Closets and 2 Jack & Jake's locally grown organic apples. The sprawling California King bed, with its large pearlized headboard and layers of white on white linens, is the "heart" of the guest experience while the bar perhaps remains the "soul". Many include a 6' glass shower. Each offers a Carrera marble desk, a handsome sitting chair + ottoman, Modern Fan Company's fan, Aveda bath amenities and SmartWater.
These two-bedded rooms feature views of the interior urban landscape or street-scape. They contain a black on black velvetine sitting chair, a Sony LCD screen, a iHome player, white sheers and drapes, Modern Fan Company's Flute fan and a Carrera topped desk. Many include a large glass shower. And, each Double Bed is well appointed with a large pearlized head board, layers of white on white linens, accented with a "glamour-gray" bedskirt and a classic black and white photographs from the hotel's extensive collection.
The King Rooms are approximately 15% larger than Queen rooms, offer partial city views, and celebrate New Orleans beyond the obvious: an ensemble of unique architecture, colorful characters, joyful culture, signature food, music and climate unlike any other city in America. They include black and white photography from the hotel's extensive collection, an 1860 S. Pablo & Son mineral water bottle now vase and an armoire inspired by Deutreil Barjon, Jr., a free person of color who history scarcely recorded but who was the finest local furniture maker of his day. With 12' ceilings, the focal point of this room is a sprawling California King bed. It - large pearlized headboard, layers of white duvet, tone on tone linens accented with "glamour-gray" charcoal bedskirts and throw pillows - is framed theatrically by 24" wall sconces to enliven the guest experience. Many of the rooms include a 6' glass shower. Each offers a Carrera marble desk, Sony LCD screen, Aveda bath amenities and Modern Fan Company's handsome Flute fan.
Remarkably pleasant and cozy spaces, the Queen Rooms celebrate contemporary New Orleans style. Each of these 44 rooms offers a spa-like bathroom with a large glass shower or tub, abundant natural light and original black and white photography of today's local music greats snapped by the unequalled Herman Leonard among others. Some rooms include a desk with a Carrera marble top, and all include Sony LCD's, Aveda bath amenities and the Queen bed - pearlized headboard and layers of white linens accented with a "glamour-gray" charcoal bedskirt.
The "Rockstar" rooms feature quiet. Located on the 11th floor, without windows, these rooms average 340 sf. They are a favorite among touring band-members like REM and bachelorettes or bachelors who really want sleep, beauty sleep, any sleep, ... REM sleep. With brick walls washed in warm light, these rooms tell an architectural story and offer a king or queen bed with all of the hotel's design standards, among them the pearlized headboard and tone on tone white linens, as well as a Sony LCD screen and Aveda bath amenities.

I bought this for my husband, for fathers day. He has the craftsman bolt on tools, and these work nicely. My only complaint is that not all the bits are regular size, some are small and need an extension peice for it to fit into the tool. Overall this is a great set and comes with everything you could need, at a great price.

Things improved but a broken leg for Dion Dublin, a centre-forward who repaid a slice of his £1million fee from Cambridge with a late winner at Southampton, had compounded a growing problem in attack.
Ahead of the visit of Oldham Athletic, the Reds had won only one of the last 12 fixtures and that was when a Mark Hughes strike edged Brighton out of the Coca-Cola Cup 2-1 on aggregate, following a draw on the South Coast. The previous four matches had failed to yield a single goal and included three successive defeats, with Wimbledon's triumph at the Theatre of Dreams coinciding with the "worst performance of the season" in the manager's mind.
Aston Villa ended any hopes of a run in the Coca-Cola Cup and two successive bore draws with Torpedo Moscow led to a penalty shoot-out defeat in Europe. The natives were perhaps not quite restless but, having gone so tantalisingly close to glory only a matter of months earlier, the dream of ending what was now a 25-year-wait for the league title seemed as far away as ever.
On November 21, with Joe Royle's Latics preparing for a local derby, United were in dire need of inspiration. Phil Shaw was moved to write in The Independent: "Oldham's visit to Old Trafford could prove a watershed for Manchester United and Alex Ferguson's managerial tenure. If the Stretford End were still standing, the message from the masses would be simple: 'Give us a goal'. United would probably settle for victory by any margin

Good Sports: Helping Young
Athletes Keep Fun in the Game
Across the country, bats are pinging, pucks are whizzing, and balls are bouncing in a happy din that can signal only one thing: a new season of youth sports. And if you haven't seen a field, rink, or court lately, they're crowded, as kids sign up for team sports in record numbers -- an estimated 35 million to 40 million a year at last tally. Overall, that's a great thing. Playing on a team offers all manner of health benefits: a regular cardio workout, the opportunity to build muscles, increased agility and speed. But while kids are signing on with great enthusiasm, they're also dropping out. In fact, by the time they hit age 13, statistics show, 70 percent of young athletes will have quit team sports -- because, they say, they're not having fun.
The good news is that there's plenty parents can do to help kids stay in the game. According to Joel Fish, Ph.D., author of 101 Ways to Be a Terrific Sports Parent and director of Philadelphia's Center for Sport Psychology, parents are a determining factor in whether kids enjoy team sports. "If children sense that their parents love them and are proud of them whether they hit the ball or not," says Fish, "then they'll be better equipped to handle all the ups and downs that come with competitive sports." So read on for more tips on how to help your young athlete enjoy being part of a team.Do Your Homework
Before you sign your child up for a sport, gather information about the program, the coach, and the team. Brooke de Lench, founder of the sports parenting site MomsTeam (momsteam.com) and author of "Home Team Advantage: The Critical Role of Mothers in Youth Sports," recommends taking full advantage of any preseason parents' meetings. There, she says, you can ask questions and "make sure the program is child-centered." Find out, for example, what the coach's policy on playing time is. Will players get to try a variety of positions over the course of the season? Are policies in place to deal with questions of sportsmanship -- both in the game and on the sidelines?Get Involved
"A great way to have a positive influence on the program and the team is to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach," says Rick Wolff, chairman of the Center for Sports Parenting (sportsparenting.org). If that's not practical, try to observe at least a few of your child's practices, or make a point of arriving 10 to 15 minutes before pick-up time. That way, says Cal Ripken Jr., Baseball Hall of Famer and coauthor of Parenting Young Athletes the Ripken Way, "you can get a sense of how your child is doing, and whether he's enjoying himself." (You'll also come away with a feeling for the coach's style and the rapport among players.)
Even if you don't officially help with the team, get out in the backyard and play. You don't need to offer advice (unless your child specifically asks you), just have fun together. "You'll be helping to develop skills in the process, and also making a wonderful connection with your child," says Richard Ginsburg, Ph.D., coauthor of "Whose Game Is It, Anyway? A Guide to Helping Your Child Get the Most From Sports, Organized by Age and Stage."
And because different sports offer different experiences, encourage your child to try a variety of team sports. "Specializing in a sport too early can lead to burnout and overuse injuries," says Ginsburg. But, he adds, be sure not to overschedule your child in any one season.

Laws & Policies
Loyola's policies regarding dating violence, sexual assault and stalking are outlined in the Community Standards.
Information on Illinois state laws is available from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan as well as:
According to Illinois Law, Criminal Sexual Assault is:
- An act of sexual penetration by the use of force or threat of force; or
- An act of sexual penetration and the accused knew that the victim was unable to understand the nature of the act or was unable to give knowing consent; or
- An act of sexual penetration with a victim who was under 18 years of age when the act was committed and the accused was a family member; or
- An act of sexual penetration with a victim who was at least 13 years of age but under 18 years of age when the act was committed and the accused was 17 years of age or over and held a position of trust, authority or supervision in relation to the victim.
For more information: Illinois Criminal Sexual Assault Act
According to the Loyola Community Standards, sexual assault is a form of sexual misconduct, defined further as:
Sexual misconduct is sexual activity of any kind and between any two persons without consent, and is expressly prohibited. The requirements of this policy apply to all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, or sexual preference.
Consent means permission – a clear "yes" to engaging in the sexual activity. Consent can be communicated by words or actions, but the best way to obtain consent is to openly discuss what each of you wants to do. Consent to one form of sexual activity does not automatically mean consent is given for any other sexual activity. Similarly, past consensual sexual activity does not automatically mean consent for any future sexual activity with the same person. Silence alone does not mean consent. Consent cannot be gained by force, threat, or coercion (unreasonable pressure) and must be freely given. A person cannot give consent if they are incapacitated by alcohol, drugs (including but not limited to "date rape drugs"), or any other physical or mental impairment that makes them unable to fully understand the total circumstances of the sexual act (in other words, the "who, what, when, where, why, and how"). In order to give consent, an individual must be of legal age – which in Illinois is seventeen (17) years old.
Sexual misconduct offenses prohibited by this policy include but are not limited to those categorized as follows:
a. Non-Consensual Sexual Penetration
Non-consensual sexual penetration (commonly known as rape or sexual assault) is defined as:
- any sexual penetration (anal, oral, or vaginal, including any contact between mouth and genitals)
- however slight
- using any body part
- or object
- by a person of any sex upon a person of any sex
- without consent (as defined above)
b. Non-Consensual Sexual Contact
Non-consensual sexual contact (also a form of sexual assault) is defined as:
- any intentional sexual contact
- however slight
- using any body part
- or object
- by a person of any sex upon a person of any sex
- without consent (as defined above)
Sexual contact includes intentional contact by any body part or object with the breasts, buttocks, groin, or genitals; or making another individual touch you or themselves on the breasts, buttocks, groin, or genitals using any body part or object. Sexual contact may also include other intentional bodily contact that is done in a sexual manner.
c. Sexual Exploitation
Sexual exploitation occurs when an individual takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another individual for the benefit of anyone other than the person being exploited. The behavior may not otherwise fall under the definition of other sexual misconduct offenses. Examples of sexual exploitation include, but are not limited to:
- prostituting oneself or another individual
- soliciting or receiving payment or compensation in exchange for sexual activity
- non-consensual video or audio-taping of sexual activity
- going beyond the boundaries of consent (for example, letting friends hide in a closet to watch you having consensual sex, or posting consensual sexual photos to a public website without permission to do so)
- peeping (watching someone without their knowing)
- knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) to another individual
d. Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is broadly defined as unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, including but not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical sexual conduct, that is serious or pervasive (repetitious) enough to reasonably interfere with or limit a person's ability to participate in or benefit from the University's educational programs or services.
Appropriate sanctions may include: Residence Hall or University Suspension and Expulsion.
For more information about how allegations of sexual misconduct are handled, see §409 Gender-Based Misconduct and Title IX.
Additional information about sexual misconduct, hearings, and sanctions, is available in the Loyola Community Standards.

Turkey Maple Sausage
Hands-On Time: 15min
Cook Time: 35min
Ready In: 50min
Yield: 12 sausage patties
Ground turkey from the supermarket makes a healthy and delicious alternative to fat-laden pork sausages. Try these stuffed into a buttermilk biscuit or alongside some fluffy pancakes. These sausages are so flavorful and moist you won't miss the calories at all. Make sure to prepare the sausage mixture the night before so they are ready to cook in the morning.
- In a large bowl, mix together turkey with the rest of the ingredients except the oil, making sure everything is incorporated evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour, so flavors can meld.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Shape the sausage into 12 patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Heat the oil in the skillet then brown the sausages for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to low and cover pan and continue to cook, turning sausages occasionally, for 6 minutes more or until sausages are crisp and cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. It may be necessary to cook sausages in two batches. Serve immediately.

In the garden
Planting perennials
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside.
"Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs."
"Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them."
Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring.
"Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring."
Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often.
In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds.
"Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand.
"Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage."
Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn.
"Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet."
In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials.
Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season.
Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter.
"Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs."

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Child hiker recovering after being hit by falling rocksUPDATED 11:16 PM HST Jun 28, 2013
A day of fun suddenly turns to near tragedy. No one saw what was coming but a family is grateful their daugther is on the road to recovery after getting hit by falling rocks in Hawaii.Video Transcript
No one saw what was coming until it was too late. But tonight a family is grateful their daughter is on the road to recovery-- after getting hit by falling rocks. KITV4's Lara Yamada has their hair-raising story. LARA STANDUP The Clark family was here celebrating their parents 50th anniversary. They were half way through their vacation when they decided to go on a hike. It was a popular trail... maybe a little muddy that day. And then the unthinkable happened. ------- LENA: 152 It really was like a natural disaster movie. It was a fun-filled day for the Clark Family. Here from Houston, Texas for the first time... On Saturday: biking, then hiking up Manoa Tunnel Trail. 7-year-old Leila and 4- year-old Peirce having a blast. NATS: Mom camera vid MOV Mom Lena shot this video as they approached the falls, but only seconds later: LENA: 315 All of a sudden we heard a snap. And like, pow, pow, pow. Everything started falling and crumbling. Some one yelled run! Then she watched.... as rocks rained down on them. A 15 pound chunk... slamming into Leila's back. LENA: 430 Her head was rolling back, and her eyes were rolling back. 448 She did lose consiousness and it was really tough 451 That moment I thought she was gone. It took rescue crews an hour to reach them. Leila: with 6 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a deep gash in her back. PIERCE: 2456 What are you feeling like Leila? My stomach hurts. Five days later at the Ronald McDonald house, little Pierce is rooting for his older sister. PIERCE: 2515 You need to get well Leila, cause you're my sister! PETER: 2624 It could have been a lot worse, so we're blessed to be where we are right now. NATS: Pow pow! In her hospital bed, this tough cookie getting plenty of love from staff, family, and friends back home. LEILA: 2904 They just said 'Hi Leila hope you get better!' And making a speedy recovery. Today, using a walker -- ahead of schedule! And already asking mom for a little more fun. LENA: 1245 Does this mean we're not going snorkling? --------- LARA STANDUP What a remarkable family! At this rate, doctors say Leila could be out of the hospital in a couple of weeks. Her family says they are so grateful for all the support... from trail guides, emergency crews, hospital staff and the Ronald McDonald house. And, after a visit from therapy dog Tucker... Leila says she can't wait to get a dog too. Back to

This is my letter written to a colleague from the Sorbonne…
1. The film on Lord Dowling, the Supremo of Fighter Command during what prosaically has been labeled the Battle of Britain, stimulated you to make some perceptive comments. You asked for some clarifications and amplifications and I shall take some time off to do so. To achieve this I consulted my Archives. I also happened to be a member of the Royal Air Force which I joined in the year of the Battle of Stalingrad. It was an essential part of my experience and the greatest of educations.
2. It was more than the transition from an adolescent to an adult. It was far more than a world of flying. A span of time that included not merely flying and doing what I was trained to do but also a world of books and study and thinking and reflecting and in talking to others and learning from them. If you wish to call that a University you may be free to do. In that world diplomas and degrees were of utter irrelevance. They would come later.
3. Let me say at once that there is considerable misunderstanding and swirling myths of what is meant by the Battle of Britain which began after the collapse of France in June 1940. The mass bombings of South England began in August . They were called off in November and we shall see why. There was in the first place no such thing as the Battle of France. France was defeated and capitulated in June 1940. The nostrum of The Battle of Britain was concocted by Winston Churchill. Who used it as a promotional battering ram to give colour and charisma to his leadership. In sum, he used it effectively as a public relations stunt .
4.The Nazis did not 'lose' the so called BoB because while they launched an attack it was called off by Hitler in November for reasons we shall now elucidate. From this was drawn the conclusion that the BoB was won by Britain under Churchill's leadership. That is a fallacy. Having said that we do not wish to diminish the fighting spirit of the British military and steadfastness and tenacity of its peoples during those critical weeks. Nor do I intend to disparage the Royal Air Force Fighter Command that operated under an embattled leadership tarnished by personal squabbles and personal ambition.. What we are saying is let us try to see things in perspective.
5. You've no doubt seen the earlier film starring Sir Lawrence Olivier. It gave a romanticized version of events portraying Air Marshal Dowling as a hero and the RAF Fighter Command as a band of young all-white indomitable brothers that rescued the UK from the clutches of the Nazi invasion thus ensuring the victory of the BoB.. This is mythology of a supine order. There was an onslaught on Britain from the middle of August to be sure that lasted until the middle November.
6. I shall sketch briefly some of the factors leading up to the BoB. Certainly, the discovery of Radar in 1936 and its deployment played a role in confronting the Luftwaffe. But it was never busted. It was not the only factor in play and in the strides of history no single event or personality is of primordial importance. It is mandatory study the ensemble of inter-locking events and their causative relationships..
7. In the course of my military service I became acquainted with many of these fighter pilots many of whom had later shifted to Bomber Command. True, the Luftwaffe pilots, not least of all, such aces as Oberst Adolf Galland had brought with them enormous experience culled f

There are times when I look back to those days as a salesperson at Sears, where I went after the mill went down and spent 17-plus years selling tractors and tools.
I got to be a tool professional doing that, and with the help of some good associates who knew what they were doing, I started on my way to being a person who served others needing help in deciding what to buy.
I decided I wasn't going to sell something a buyer did not need, and thus a good relationship between the seller and the buyer was what I wanted in my new position. Fellow employees like Rosie, Dwaine, Paul, Wick and Ned were there to answer questions if I did not know the answer. We were on commission, but when you sell something you don't know much about, you can bet an angry customer was going to bring it back — and there went the commission.
Oh yes, folks, our checks took a dip whenever we get something back.
Anyway, I was working with Rosie Solomon one day and a man came in the door and started looking around. I just stood there waiting for the customer to make the first move, and Rosie motioned me over to him. He asked if I saw an old man come in, and I said yes. He said I should go right up to him and ask if he needed any help.
Seeing that the old man was pretty dirty and had old clothes on, I thought to myself I would be wasting my time because he probably would not buy anything. I could be working with a customer who would.
Rosie took me aside and said you don't decide the worth of a customer by the way he looks and how he is dressed. Turns out the old man bought a new tractor and, boy, did I learn from that.
Anytime someone walks into a store, he or she is a potential customer. You let him or her know you are there to serve them and by doing that, you gain the confidence from them that they know who to look up when they want to buy something or to just look around. Those customers are the most important aspect of your client list for the rest of your tenure at the store.
I remember one day I was working with a customer, and Ned said he would take over. I wondered why. It seems the customer had forgotten to say he was there to buy from Ned and so, after moving aside and listening to Ned and his sales pitch, I found out the importance of the customer to the store and to those of us who worked there. I learned a lot just listening to Ned, and there were no hard feelings between him and me.
About a week later, Ned took care of one of my customers and rang it up in my number, giving me a nice start to my day.
That is what it is about. The working together of the sales people to make sure the customer comes first. So if you one day get a chance to work in a store, remember to acknowledge customers as they come through the door. Allow them to see what is available, and before they leave, let them know you want them to come back.
Good service is taking care of the customer. Don't go off in a corner and wait for them to make the first move, because they might not come back without knowing they are welcome in your store. Let everyone know they are the reason you have a job. Treat all, including fellow employees, with grace because that is what they want. Greet them coming in and leaving, too.

Asomugha was motionless on the field for a few moments before getting up and walking off under his own power. The team said he was questionable to return.

FORT WORTH — Apart from all the fanfare and a midnight Saturday pep rally supporting TCU's move to the Big 12 Conference at Billy Bob's Texas, hard core fans were convinced that the bigger story is the major cash flow potentially surging into Fort Worth and TCU.
Even Horned Frog football coach Gary Patterson chimed in. "Number one, financially, I think it's a windfall for TCU and Fort Worth."
Its a sentiment financial expert Eric Amado believes, too. Amado said TV rights to the Big 12 alone exceed $1 billion. The conference TCU just dumped, the Big East, reportedly generated less than $254 million.
Amado said it made sense for TCU to jump ship considering the school will eventually get a substantial slice of that revenue.
"TCU is going to make millions of dollars in this new contract," Amado said. "That's gonna be great for the school".
Fans also stand to save big time in travel expenses. The greatest distance between TCU and its regional rivals — Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor — is a mere 314 miles.
Amado believes the shorter trips will entice more fans — including casual ones — to travel to Fort Worth, providing a long-term economic boom for the city.
"It's going to benefit them by bringing in extra millions of dollars into the city to help with hotels, help their small businesses, restaurants, rental cars — even airlines," Amado said. "Everybody is going to benefit from this."

Doctors have placed a breathing tube back in a 2-year-old Winder boy who was injured by a falling tree branch.It's now been two weeks since a falling tree branch hit Tripp Halstead. For several days, Tripp had been very slowly improving.On Friday, Tripp's grandfather, Larry Hughes, told FOX 5's Chris Shaw that doctors were talking about rehab for the toddler. Days later, doctors at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Hospital are now talking about regrouping."I wasn't sure it could get much worse, but little did I know that it can. So everything was good last night, very peaceful when I noticed the nurse staring him down, I looked and couldn't see him breathing normally, so she jumped into action and within seconds we had 12 staff members at his side," Tripp's mother, Stacy Halstead, wrote on Facebook on Monday.Tripp was unconscious. Doctors told his parents to try and wake him up."Here I am looking at my baby who is unresponsive and I am in his face, telling him to, 'wake up. wake up baby…mommy and daddy are here,'" Stacy wrote. "On the outside, I was all calm and collected but on the inside I was dying, I kept praying to give me strength to keep standing up and after all he had been through, do not let this be the end."Doctors determined Tripp had a reaction to one of his medicines. He also has a collapsed lung. Doctors put his breathing tube back in and went to work on treating his lung."…After it was all said and done and we knew Tripp would live another day," Stacy wrote. "So not only pray for Tripp to get through this, but for me and Bill and both our families to be able to handle anything that lies ahead."
The Halstead family believes that the overwhelming wave of support and prayers, have helped Tripp. The family's Facebook page has more than 63,000 likes. You can get updates from the family on Tripp Halstead on their Facebook page at facebook.com/TrippHalsteadUpdates.
A fundraiser is being held at Zaxby's in Winder on Tuesday. Ten percent of all sales will go towards Tripp's medical bills.

You don't "catch" your accent - you assimilate it from whoever is teaching you - all students do. If the teacher was American, you would be imitating the American accent. The problem is that your teachers are not hearing enough English spoken by native speakers. I would not let it worry me too much, but maybe adapt the sounds they find most difficult.

Nestled in the Cholame Valley, the V6 Ranch envelops 20,000 acres of the most diverse and alluring country in the heart of central California.
Located an equal distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco, just a four hour drive from either city, the V6 Ranch offers the delight of bygone days in a world where fast is the average speed. This beautiful ranch offers activities to tickle the fancy of any person that seeks peace and quiet or just wants to get away from the street lights and asphalt. The V6 Ranch is a frontier once populated by a few homesteaders, but now occupied by an abundance of wildlife, wildflowers, cattle, and horses. Nature's delights can be seen from every angle. The clean air and warm nights are ideal for laying out under the stars. The clean water from the streams allows you to be refreshed naturally.
The ranch offers hiking, photography, over 200 varieties of wildflowers, wildlife, and bird watching. Pine Canyon Lake is the largest on the ranch and is a wonderful place to fish, swim, sunbathe, or row our boat out to the double decker floating dock.
The V6 Ranch is a real working cattle ranch where much of the time is devoted to working cattle. During our cattle drives we encourage you to saddle up and be a part of our ranch crew. The V6 cattle drives are offered several times a year, in the spring and in the fall. During these drives, you will experience life as cowboys and cowgirls have for many generations. Our guests, along with our ranch crew, invite you for three days to help with the gathering and moving cattle to different areas of the ranch for seasonal feeding. Along with your adventure as a ranch hand on the V6, you will be enjoying ranch style food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while camping out under the stars.

Chad Reed won his first round of the 2012 AMA Monster Energy Supercross season on Saturday night, taking the Dodger Stadium main event by 2.9 seconds over Ryan Dungey.
James Stewart was a season-high third, edging Ryan Villopoto by .61 seconds.
Unfortunately, the race was marred by an opening-lap crash that injured riders Trey Canard and Ryan Morais, according to the Los Angeles Times:
Their injuries were not immediately known, but safety workers placed them on back boards and the series said the riders were transported to Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center.
Morais' wife, Hannah, tweeted an update on her husband's condition overnight and said he has a broken neck in addition to a broken jaw and concussion.
@hannah_morais: Update: mo is hanging in there... Neck has three fractures but docs says no surgery needed on neck right now! Getting MRI to make sure.
The news apparently isn't as good for Canard, who had missed the season opener while recovering from a broken collarbone and just returned last week at Phoenix with a seventh-place finish.
Aaron Canard, Trey's brother, posted in an online forum that his brother sustained a fracture of the T10-12 vertebrae and required surgery last night. No further updates were available.
Here are the AMA Supercross results from Saturday night:
- Chad Reed
- Ryan Dungey
- James Stewart
- Ryan Villopoto
- Brett Metcalfe
- Davi Millsaps
- Josh Hansen
- Broc Tickle

Nice post, Noel - did you see

Nice post, Noel - did you see our photos of "Drop City"? It was a hippie commune in southern Colorado - not nearly as organized as Nucla - just a bunch of dreamy kids. It's tough to break out of the 'default' society, but snaps to the people who give it a try. . ..

---- — The words "fresh blood" are ringing as a key phrase among candidates challenging in the race for Gloucester's School Committee as they seek to stake out places in what is now a 10-person scramble for the six elected seats.
While Roger Garberg, formerly censured in June, has yet to take out papers and three-term member Valerie Gilman announced she would step out of the race last weekend, feeling the district is on a good course, the remaining four incumbents face six new challengers, with many incumbents and challengers still collecting the 150 signatures required by Aug. 13.
Joel Favazza was one of at least three candidates who had collected all of his signatures and had them certified by Tuesday, about a week prior to the deadline. Favazza, who graduated from Gloucester High School in 2003 and became an attorney before returning to Gloucester, said he is committed to the school system.
"I'm a product of the school system, I'm dedicated to the city of Gloucester, and I'm hoping that some fresh blood will bring some fresh ideas," Favazza said Tuesday,
Favazza is not a father yet, but if he does have children one day, he hopes they will attend a healthy Gloucester public school system — the same schools he attended years ago. He supports a return to using the former Fuller school building rather than funding a new West Parish school and was outspoken on the topic at a public hearing in July and in an interview Tuesday.
"I'm certainly concerned about the future of all the elementary schools and how we're going to make sure that all of the elementary students are given the opportunity no matter which school they go to," Favazza said. "The plan to replace one of five elementary schools inherently advantages the lucky 350 students who go to that school and disadvantages the rest."
Hannah Scialdone Kimberley, a college professor who relocated to Gloucester from Virginia years ago, touts her teaching experience at levels ranging from elementary school to high school to college — experience she said would contribute to potential work as a school committee member.
Based on her research and teaching experience, she said "reasonably sized" elementary schools would bolster learning, though she did not elaborate on the meaning of "reasonably sized."
"The conversations I have had with parents, teachers and school committee members since I moved to Gloucester have inspired me to join the race," Kimberley said. "I am committed to reasonably sized elementary schools."
Another candidate with teaching experience, Lauren A. Riley, called herself a "blank slate," willing and prepared to listen to parents and already familiar with students' needs.
"We have to get people to buy into the notion that we're a city, a community that's moving forward and we need all hands on deck," Riley said.
Riley has worked in the school system's alternative high school, Compass, as a tutor for the past six years. She teaches and works with students who reached graduation age without completing the graduation requirements. She is also the high school's field hockey coach and teaches yoga, provides personal training, and performs massages in her own business called Positive Progressive People.
Riley said she has yet to zero in on the issue of most importance to her as she begins "doing her homework" and further familiarizing herself with school committee issues by talking with people in the community.
"I don't have something that I'm really pushing because it is what I want personally," said Riley, who has no children of her own. "It's kind of like I'm a blank slate going in trying to learn, trying to look at all avenues and what is best."
Michelle M. Sweet, a former school committee member, took out papers to run in June and had collected 139 signatures by Tuesday morning. She was not available for comment Tuesday.
John "J.D." MacEachern, Jr. took out papers to run in July; he was also not available for comment Tuesday.
Incumbents seeking to retain their seats are Melissa Teixeira, Kathleen Clancy, Tony Gross and Jonathan Pope.
