2007 Volvo XC90 V8 AWD Review
Safety, power, quality, and style
Price with options
This Is The Best Mid-size Suv I Have Ever Driven! — Safety is important to me and this Volvo XC90 has that covered. This SUV is also fun to drive and has many options you can choose from. If you have young children the 3rd seat is great and east to get in and out of. Either engine will give you plenty of power but I choose the V8. I also liked the best audio system which provides great range and sound quality.

Spacious and styling has remained tasteful and relevant in the context of the other vehicles in the Volvo line-up.
Fuel economy in the city leave a bit to be desired. Can be a bit noisy on the highway, but that seems to depend more on the tires you choose.
Good Adventure Car! — I initially started looking at the XC90 partly because of the styling but also because of Volvo's legendary reputation for safety (remember "boxy, but good?"). It's styling has remained relevant since they have not done radical redesigns to the line, including it's little brother, the XC60 and the current model that is out looks essentially as it did in 2003. Some people may take objection to that, but if you are in the market for a used car, it helps that they still look pretty current. Luckily, I have not had to test the safety claims yet! Overall, the car is very comfortable to drive on the highway and has some modest off-road capabilities. It has been able to negotiate the odd snow storm and rainstorm with no problems and takes us to the mountains without any complaints. As I suspect is the case with most SUV's, it does not do so well in the city. Hills, stop lights/signs and traffic all add up to a pretty measly fuel economy and some above average NVH. If you are looking for a comfortable family road-trip car, this might just be your ticket. 3rd row of seats can actually also fit two children and small adults comfortably, but watch out for their luggage as it really cuts off a lot of storage space.

Love this car!
Safe And Sporty Family Car — The xc90 is the utmost choice family vehicle for daily driving. I love a fine car and when I'm driving alone or with family, I'm enjoying this ride. It's the best. Comfortable, smooth, fast, safe, drives like a car, plenty of room and power.

The Volvo is safe, comfortable, and spacious. It offers a premier riding experience for passengers. If you had to be stuck in a car for a 10 hour roadtrip, you would want to be stuck in this one.
Loud noises, transmission problems, heating/coolant repairs, expensive to maintain and repair.
2007 Volvo Xc90 - Too Many Transmission Problems — This car makes loud, cracking noises when making wide left or right turns when backing out of parking spaces, like something on the axle is breaking. The transmission for the 2007 model is very difficult to repair due its placement and the repairs are very costly. Maintenance is expensive. For example, the thermostat hose had a leak last week, and it cost $493 for the thermostat housing to be replaced (labor included). They had to order the part directly from Volvo. It is a comfortable, safe, and wonderful car, but it is just too expensive to try to maintain.

Very nice car, reliable, safe, fairly easy to maintain
Electrical system for lights is horrible, goes through bulbs faster than any care I have ever owned. Also goes through tires pretty fast. Acceleration is very poor in the 3.2
Decent Car — This has been a pretty good car, wife loves the safety feature. I think it is a little under powered and has a weird accelerate pattern. Pretty easy to work on and has been reliable. Has always burned a little oil, but nothing that requires refilling in between changes. Got is for a good price so it has been a good performer.

Everything :)
none, I'd like the 2014 model
Supreme — Shes a great ride, looks great, feels great, and very reliable. Low maintenance, I wish I could find a woman like her lol. All over comfort level is luxurious, not too many buttons, everythings easy to understand, volvo makes a great suv and i wont drive anything else now except porshe, bentley, bmw, or some other high end vehicle. I did alot of research prior to purchase and this was my choice over range rover, audi q7, mercedes suv, and bmw x5. Get one and enjoy the ride!

Great Car But Under-powered — I love everything about the car including the gas mileage. Very luxurious and drives like a dream. I traded in a 2001 MDX which had much more performance. I would but another XC-90 but hope they muscle up their v6.

Today's gratitude: No college classes for three weeks! Woo hoo!
After yesterdays post, let me say - no I don't normally weigh daily. It's a team goal for one of my teams and I'm simply trying to be supportive. It's been educational tho...I've had as much as 6 pounds different from day to day. When I check my rings I can see it's pretty close on the mark if my rings are too tight to get off or loose. Which means that 6 pounds is water not fat. However, since I'm hanging around that red line, I'm happy enough.
Yesterday was a very hard day. Stress was about the highest it's been and I did not eat to plan. i didn't binge and I didn't eat ice cream for dinner, LOL, but I didn't eat according to plan. But..that was one day and it's over and today's a new day.
STILL hacking from that lousy cold last week, it's getting better bit by bit, but boy am I tired of coughing!
Having money disagreements with my partner....I'm holding firm. Usually I give in and then she's happy...but i'm anxious. This time, I'm standing firm on what I believe. It's going to be a long week till payday, LOL.
If the picture works...you'll see that I am up and down and up and down and up and down.
What does it all mean? Does it mean anything? Really, the conclusion I came to is those ups and downs are surrounding the red "goal" line and that's good enough for me.
The eating plan isn't the easiest thing, but it's sure not the hardest thing either, and I feel good, which is a nice change. I'm also figuring out that my body takes about a week to show change...and a week ago I was doing no exercise cuz I was sick as a dog. So the real truth will be next weeks numbers, I think.
Maybe. Cuz it's all up and down.
Today is my last final, finished the other one early...and three blessed weeks off of school. I can't express how much I need it...I'm getting really cranky. Just ask my family, sigh.
Tuesday's Gratitude: I'm able to build my health. it may not be where I want it to, but that's changeable.
I was disappointed to find I'd lost almost all the stamina I'd worked for from being sick. By the end of the class I taught, then the "bootcamp" dance workout I was sore, exhausted and I hadn't made it nearly as far as the last time I'd done the class. Hard to build up...easy to lose apparently. But, I did it once - I'll do it again.
Food was good yesterday, right on track. I felt vaguely dissatisfied after dinner, I was full - but I wanted more, you know? I made it through and didn't over eat. Made me realize yet again how I have comforted myself with food.
Math final tomorrow, Lit final due thursday. Better use the rest of my a.m. time for study!
Um, no truthfully I'm not that excited it's monday, but fake it till you make it, eh?
Today's Gratitude: that I have a good job to go to that provides well for my family and is usually pretty tolerable.
Yesterday I had a big "ah ha" moment. Jodie and I were out shopping and needed to get a bite to eat. I thought, you know, i've been doing great on this diet for two weeks, there's no reason i can't have one meal off plan every once in awhile...so we stopped at Jack in the Box. I ate most of a burger and fries. it was good, not fantastic as one might think when you'd not had bread or potatoes for two weeks, LOL, but pretty good.
We then went to WalMart. After walking around for 20 minutes, i began to not feel so well..I started to sweat and my stomach started feeling a lil queasy and soon I had to run to find the ladies room... Can I just say, Jack wasn't worth it? It really, really wasn't worth it. I tallked to Jodie later that night about it, and she said what I described is exactly what happens to her (a diabetic) when she over does it...and I thought....
If you know you are going to feel THAT bad, what food on earth is worth that?I'm telling you, not to me. No no no.
Lesson learned. I've no desire to repeat feeling that gross again.
Still fighting my cold, coughing but when I take mucinex it's bearable...
The LC starts a new challenge today, so i'll be doing two! Woo hoo, how's that for motivation!
Today's gratitude: There are other people, other women, just like me. The same age group, the same amount of weight to lose, the same struggles and the same victories. I'm grateful there are others to share the journey!
My 5% challenge is off to a slightly less than auspicious start. I'm still trying to get well...still coughing my head off and getting no exercise....saving it for tomorrow when hopefully I'll be able to get through 3 hours of dance classes without coughing up a lung, lol. Other than that, 7 glasses of 8 of water - not bad for a non-water drinker! Food was very clean yesterday and that's something to be proud of, considering it's the weekend ...and Jodie is home.
Jodie is from The South - The Land Of Fried Everything. In the 10 weeks she was in louisiana, she gained 20 pounds on fried meat pies, fried boudan (?sp), fried shrimp, fried green beans. Jodie LOVES to eat out and since we partnered in 2005, I packed on about 45 pounds. No, she didn't hold the fork to my mouth, LOL, but we ate out a lot more than I ever had in my life, and wow is she a good cook...
So following my diet plan with Jodie in tow? Um.....yeah. Could she use a food plan, yes, but you can't force someone to be healthy. All i can do is hope she will be inspired by my progress. She felt so bad last night that everyone else was having homemade mac n cheese and fresh bread..and I was having broccoli and chicken. I said "I don't feel bad jodie! I'm fine with it! It's what I have to do and really, I'm fine". but SHE wasn't fine. She hates, absolutely hates, anything to do with "eating healthy" - and in her eyes, I was suffering, even if I didn't think i was.
Will this be a journey for both of us? yes I imagine it will be...

The Geneva athletic programs set a very high precedent of success this past weekend. It may be difficult to duplicate throughout the rest of the fall season, but nobody is complaining. After posting mixed results early in the week, the Golden Tornadoes swept through each of their opponents across the board on Saturday. The culmination of the weekend came Saturday night when Geneva's football team held on for an exciting 41-28 victory over Frostburg State in front of a capacity crowd that turned out for "Experience Geneva Night".
Over 6.000 people packed their way into Reeves Field for a thrilling curtain raiser to the 2009 season. If anyone had paid to get in, they certainly would have gotten their money's worth, but Geneva College welcomed all fans in attendance to experience a football Saturday night free of charge. Big play after big play highlighted the first half with Geneva's offense and defense each posting a pair of touchdowns in the first 30 minutes. Rich Kolesar turned in the play of the night when he scampered 97 yards on an interception return, the second longest in school history, for a 2nd quarter touchdown. The offense was led by junior quarterback David Girardi who threw for 200 yards on 19 completions. Senior Brian Wilson proved to be dominant once again with a pair of receptions on offense and a sack, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown on defense.
The men's soccer team matched the football excitement with a pair of pressure packed victories in the first Geneva College Invitational. On Friday night, Bruce Fox tied the game against Franciscan with five minutes remaining in regulation. Josh Mann completed the dramatic comeback with the overtime game winner just four minutes into the extra session. On Saturday, Fox struck again with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory over Mt. Union. David Callahan turned away five shots to pick up his first shut-out of the season. Geneva's men's soccer team finished its first week of action with a 2-1 overall record.
Geneva's women's soccer team also picked up an impressive victory on Saturday, however they had to travel to Pitt-Bradford for the win. The Golden Tornadoes fell behind 1-0 just four minutes into the game but responded with a pair of goals for the comeback 2-1 victory. Jamie Gessner scored in the first half to tie the game and Annissa Halulko scored the game winner midway through the second half. The women's team was 1-1 in the first week of the season after dropping a 2-1 heartbreaker to Marietta to open the season.
The Golden Tornadoes volleyball team spent most of the Labor Day weekend in Gettysburg and came away with a solid performance. Geneva split a pair of matches on Friday with a win over Penn State Behrend and a loss against host Gettysburg. On Saturday, the Golden Tornadoes won matches against Richard Stockton and Galluadet to finish the weekend with a 3-1 record. Adriane Blake once again led the offense with an impressive hitting percentage at the net in all four games, while senior setter Brandi Snavely picked up over 100 assists in the first weekend of action.
The women's tennis team opened its season early last week with a 6-3 victory over Chatham College. Ashlyn Mallison picked up a pair of victories in her first collegiate match. Mallison won her singles match and then teamed with Amy Weller for a win in doubles action. Bethany Ragonesi also won twice, including a win in singles and a doubles victory alongside Maura McLaughlin.
Finally, the cross country team traveled to Westminster on Saturday and turned in a solid performance. The men's team finished fifth overall and the women took home a sixth place overall finish. The men were led by Nick Edinger and his 20th place finish at 28:45 while teammate Owen Struck came across one second later in 21st position. In the women's race, Shannon Rech was Geneva's top finisher in 19th place with a time of 25:43 in the 6K event. Teammate Samantha Miller finished 22nd just 12 seconds behind Rech.
Following is the athletic schedule for the week of September 7:
|Mon., Sept. 7
|JV Football vs Westminster 6 p.m.
|Wed., Sept. 9
|Tennis at St. Vincent 4 p.m.
|Men's Soccer at Heidelberg 7 p.m.

Data Driven: Higher Earnings Through CTE
Earning a higher-level credential does not automatically improve earnings potential, as the above statistics from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce make clear.
Employment and earnings success is about more than a student's highest level of education-field of study is key. As the Georgetown researchers have reported, certificates holders in high-wage, high-demand fields such as computer and information science, electronics, and business and office management earn more than many associate and bachelor's degree holders.[ii]
When communicating this message to policymakers, education leaders and the public, back this data up with success stories from your students who have succeeded with less than a bachelor's degree in high-demand fields. In addition, explain how the growth in stackable, portable credentials enables adult students to return to education over their lifetime so they can earn those higher-level credentials and move up the career ladder.
Remember, you don't have to wait for a new entry in our Data Driven blog series to access CTE data and research. The information you need is available at any time with ACTE Fact Sheets.

Honda 'cog' ad at centre of rip-off debate over 1987 film
LONDON - Two Swiss artists are considering legal action against the ground-breaking two-minute-long Honda 'cog' ad, complaining that it bears similarities to a 1987 short film.
According to a story in Creative Review, Peter Fischli and David Weiss are concerned that the "cog" ad, created by Wieden+Kennedy London, bears a resemblance to their film 'Der Lauf Der Dinge'.
The pair have had their lawyers write to Honda, saying that they are considering legal action against the car company. Fischli and Weiss's 30-minute film shows a series of domino events in their studio and is well known in the arts community.
Honda's "cog" ad has been lauded in the marketing press for its creativity and technical prowess. It shows various car parts in a domino effect and runs for two minutes without any soundtrack, finishing with a voiceover by the broadcaster and author Garrison Keillor, who says: "Isn't it nice when things just work".
The ad is widely tipped to pick up several awards for the creatives who worked on the ad, Ben Walker and Matt Gooden. It was directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet at Partizan.
W&K's creative director Tony Davidson has told Creative Review that Fischli and Weiss's film 'Der Lauf Der Dinge' was only one of the inspirations for the ad and argued: "Advertising references culture and always has done."
The spat echoes a dispute between Guinness and a filmmaker, Mehdi Norowzian, who claimed that the brewing giant's 1995 dancing ad ripped off a short film he had made.
Despite marked similarities between the Guinness spot, created by Dublin agency Ark, and Norowzian's film, the court ruled against the filmmaker, who ended up liable for costs.
Another artist, the Turner Prize-winning Gillian Turner, threatened to sue BMP DDB and Volkswagen over an ad she said ripped off her "signs" work.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Spot starter Scott Baker and three relievers shut down red-hot Kansas City in the Texas Rangers' 3-1 victory over the Royals on Sunday.
Baker (2-3) gave up a home run to Kansas City first baseman Billy Butler in the fourth but otherwise held the Royals in check, giving up five hits and a walk over five innings.
Right-hander Shawn Tolleson and left-hander Neal Cotts worked three innings of relief before right-hander Neftali Feliz earned his sixth save in seven attempts for Texas, which won for the third time in 10 games.
The four pitchers combined to retire 16 of the Royals' last 17 hitters.
The Royals (72-57), who entered 3 1/2 games up on Detroit in the American League Central Division, lost for only the fifth time in their last 31 games.
Left fielder Daniel Robertson reached base three times with a double to lead off the Rangers' half of the first and two walks.
Robertson also scored the game's first run, rounding third on designated hitter Adrian Beltre's double down the left field line.
Third baseman Adam Rosales was 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in the second, and catcher Robinson Chirinos was 2-for-3 with a walk and RBI in the third.
Texas left 11 men on-base and was 4-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
Left-hander Jason Vargas (10-6) suffered the loss, giving up three runs (two earned) on 11 hits and four walks over six innings for the Royals, who took two of three games in the weekend set.
Baker worked around base runners in each of the first three innings before Butler's home run to lead off the top of the fourth. He left Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas stranded at first.
Royals second baseman Omar Infante had two of Kansas City's six hits.
Feliz retired Kansas City left fielder Alex Gordon and struck out Butler before designated hitter Raul Ibanez reached with single to right. Center fielder Lorenzo Cain grounded out to end the game.
NOTES: The Rangers reportedly traded C Geovany Soto to the Oakland Athletics. Details had yet to be announced. Soto was scratched from the Texas lineup 30 minutes before Sunday's first pitch for "non-medical" reasons. ... Texas LHP Derek Holland said his back felt fine and he was ready to resume his rehabilitation from left knee surgery. Holland was scratched from a rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday because of back spasms. ... Texas OF Shin-Soo Choo was "a little under the weather" and out of the lineup, manager Ron Washington said.

|Rich in mercy
|By John Paul II
|Friday, 27 September 2013
Christ, then, reveals God who is Father, who is "love," as St. John will express it in his first letter; Christ reveals God as "rich in mercy," as we read in St. Paul. This truth is not just the subject of a teaching; it is a reality made present to us by Christ. Making the Father present as love and mercy is, in Christ's own consciousness, the fundamental touchstone of His mission as the Messiah; this is confirmed by the words that He uttered first in the synagogue at Nazareth and later in the presence of His disciples and of John the Baptist's messengers.
On the basis of this way of manifesting the presence of God who is Father, love and mercy, Jesus makes mercy one of the principal themes of His preaching. As is His custom, He first teaches "in parables," since these express better the very essence of things. It is sufficient to recall the parable of the prodigal son, or the parable of the Good Samaritan, but also - by contrast - the parable of the merciless servant. There are many passages in the teaching of Christ that manifest love-mercy under some ever-fresh aspect. We need only consider the Good Shepherd who goes in search of the lost sheep, or the woman who sweeps the house in search of the lost coin. The Gospel writer who particularly treats of these themes in Christ's teaching is Luke, whose Gospel has earned the title of "the Gospel of mercy."
When one speaks of preaching, one encounters a problem of major importance with reference to the meaning of terms and the content of concepts, especially the content of the concept of "mercy" (in relationship to the concept of "love"). A grasp of the content of these concepts is the key to understanding the very reality of mercy. And this is what is most important for us. However, before devoting a further part of our considerations to this subject, that is to say, to establishing the meaning of the vocabulary and the content proper to the concept of mercy," we must note that Christ, in revealing the love - mercy of God, at the same time demanded from people that they also should be guided in their lives by love and mercy. This requirement forms part of the very essence of the messianic message, and constitutes the heart of the Gospel ethos. The Teacher expresses this both through the medium of the commandment which He describes as "the greatest," and also in the form of a blessing, when in the Sermon on the Mount He proclaims: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." – from Dives in Misericordia, 1980

i'm a great fan of your style ernst , especialy the way you youse
the whammy- bar , i have only 2 guitars myself , a gibson les paul and a
fender telecaster so i don't have a whammy-bar and that's why i bend the
strings but of course it doesn't sound the same then. in the past i had a
strat too ( not an Original fender because i couldn't afford one when i was
young of course ) but when i used the whammy-bar at 3 or 4 songs it brought
the guitar out of tune ( i Always play standard open tuning ) , and it
frustrated me that's why i never wanted a whammy-bar again and bought in my
later years the gibson les paul and the tele , and learned myself to bend
the strings , but like i said not with the same effect of course , can you
tell me if you never have the problem i had ?( it was in my early years of
playing , today i have over 20 years of experience so maybe it was me being
a rookie at that time ) thank you in advance ernst , keep up the good work

Welcome to the Grapevine
The Grapevine is administered by the UAF Marketing and Communications Department and was designed to dispel rumors, clarify misconceptions and clear up misunderstandings about UAF topics of a general nature to improve communication between the administration and the UAF community.
Many times departments are able to quickly resolve an issue and we post the solution to the problem here as well. Thank you for your suggestions.Ā
As always, building and facilities issues that need attention should be forwarded to email@example.com or reported directly to 474-7000. Unsafe conditions should be reported to Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management here.
Nov. 26, 2014 -- Handicap parking
Is it true that individuals with handicap plates or decals don't have to pay for parking on campus? Additionally can they park in the gold lots without a decal as well? It's frustrating to see people who don't have a gold decal parking in a gold lot. It seems to me that anyone that wants to park in a gold lot should have to have a gold decal regardless of if they are handicap or not.
From Amanda Wall, Office of the Bursar director
No. As outlined in the parking manual and regulations, there is no additional fee for ADA parking; however, a parking decal, or permit is required for students, staff, faculty and contractors.
ADA spaces located within gold lots are not necessarily considered to be a part of the gold lot, rather they are in locations that comply with ADA regulations and serve our UAF community members that have taken the necessary steps to obtain handicap parking documentation. The spaces are not included when determining the number of gold permits to sell for any given lot.
ADA spaces on campus are all first come first serve. This includes spaces in metered lots, on the street, in regular decal lots and in gold lots.
Nov. 20, 2014 -- East side door of the Duckering Building
How come the middle door on the east side of the Duckering Building is always locked?
From Paul Brown, Building Safety Officer Technician
When the construction started the whole road way was closed off and we stopped unlocking the door, but we'll work with folks to ensure that it's unlocked now.
Nov. 19, 2014 -- New shuttle stop at Wood Center
Is UAF going to consider moving the shuttle stop from in front of the Wood Center?
The current route takes 12-15 minutes, so we have to come 20-30 minutes early to make sure we are on time.
Service vehicles are in the current stop, and sometimes back up while people are walking in the area or getting off the shuttle, making students scramble away not to get run over. When the service vehicles are there the shuttle has had to stop on the road before and let students off where it doesn't feel safe to be stopped.
There is not warming shack, so it is a very cold wait. If we go into the Wood Center to wait the shuttle is full or pulling away before we can get to it. And yesterday there were students slipping and falling trying to make it from the Wood Center to the shuttle fast enough.
The Wood Center stop is not near any classes, offices or dorms where people's destinations are.
From Martin Klein, Division of Auxiliary and Contract Services business manager
We constantly evaluate shuttle service for efficient and safe operations. The move from the Eielson shuttle stop addressed safety concerns with that stop, delays in shuttle service from traffic and congestion in the hallway waiting area of Eielson. We are studying the usage of the new stop at Wood Center for adjustments that may make sense and also looking at usage on the Yukon and University Routes. Shuttle ridership campus wide is up this year over last.
If you have comments or concerns about specific occurrences it is best to report them directly to transportation services by calling 474-RIDE (7433) or to send an email to email@example.com
Nov. 19, 2014 -- Location of recycling bins
Why does the university place recycle bins in a location that is difficult to access from campus (on a one-way street?) Originally located across from the Student Rec Center, the recycle bins were easily accessible from west ridge and lower campus. If they are still down by Farmers Loop, they can not be accessed from campus due to the one way road. (I have not used the since they were moved to that location)
From Michele Hebert, Office of Sustainability director
Thank you for providing feedback about the location of the recycling bins. The dumpsters were moved from the Nenana Parking lot across from the Patty Center to the Taku parking lot because of construction staging in 2011 and will likely need to stay there as we move into other construction phases. The placement in the Taku lot was ideal in some ways because the FNSB Transfer site is just across the street, providing residents with a nearby place to drop off recyclable materials. The location is also convenient for the departments who are handling the bulk of recycling on our campus. We hope you continue to recycle.
If you have additional questions about your recycling options, please contact the Office of Sustainability at 474-5070.
Nov. 19, 2014 -- Salaried employees teaching courses during business hours
Is there a formal policy on salaried employees teaching courses during business hours in addition to their actual job duties? It would seem that someone who is holding an adjunct position teaching during business hours is essentially getting paid twice for the same hour. Can that possibly be OK?
From Brad Lobland, Director and Campus Ethics Officer of the Office of Human Resources
If an exempt employee teaches a class during their normal working hours and is being compensated for that class, then that employee should claim annual leave for those hours.
Nov. 19, 2014 -- Parking citations
What happened to parking enforcement? I routinely see people parking in lots on campus without any type of decal and in handicap areas without receiving tickets (I leave for lunch, come back, they are still there, no ticket). I also have a friend who parks in a gold lot and she just happened to notice at least 4 non-gold and non-decal vehicles parked in the lot and she was almost without a spot. This is not the first time this has happened to her either. I believe there was some reorganizing of parking enforcement to the Police Dept, but it seems to be there is no enforcement now and that is highly disappointing. It feels as though we are paying parking decals for no reason if people can park here for free or without penalty (especially the handicap spots, that's just unacceptable).
From Police Chief Keith Mallard
I have been monitoring our efforts to ensure that enforcement does not decrease. Citations have slightly increased in the first quarter (July-Sept) over last year.
We can also advise people that if they see someone not complying with the parking regulations they can always call UAFPD Dispatch and report the violation. When we receive these reports we send someone out to investigate. It is usually a CSO that is sent out but if they are unavailable we send one of our officers.
Nov. 19, 2014 -- Selling at the University of Alaska Mall site
How does one get an account to sell at the University of Alaska Mall Site?
From Amanda Wall, Office of the Bursar director
Interested parties should contact the Office of the Bursar at 474-7384 or see http://www.uaf.edu/finserv/
Nov. 18, 2014 -- Ted Stevens Paper Project
One million dollars, two archivists and several students (student volunteers, I presume) to organize the Ted Stevens papers? Where did the $1 million actually go?
From Suzanne Bishop, Development and Public Information Officer, Rasmuson Library
The funds have been spent over the past 5 years. The library employs students when possible, and the Ted Stevens Papers Project is a great example of this—the students who worked on the papers were employees. In addition to salaries, some supplies and equipment were needed, and a room was prepared (including specialized bookshelves) to securely house the 4,700 boxes of materials. The film and video were removed and digitized to preserve the information on them before the items disintegrated. Staff also cared for other items, such as photographs and damaged paper, which requires special supplies. Anyone with questions about the project is welcome to contact Dean of Libraries Bella Gerlich, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nov. 14, 2014 -- Assistant athletic director for compliance
Who is the UAF administrator responsible for NCAA compliance?
From Carla Browning, Communications Manager
Charlie Hill is the assistant athletic director for compliance. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Nov. 6, 2014 -- Eielson Building doors
The new doors in the Eielson Building look great! However, the "wave" sensor for automatic openings need tweaking. On the end of the building near Gruening, these aren't working most of the time. On the end near the metered parking lots, they work too well. If you walk past the wave sensors, the doors automatically open, and stay open. This is creating some heat loss from the building. (which, honestly, is a relief, because the building is always smoldering, but it is wasteful).
From Marianne Freelong, Customer Service Manager of Facilities Services
Thank you for notifying us. The contractor has been contacted and should be there soon.
Nov. 6, 2014 -- Soft closure
Will there be a soft closure this year? Are more hard closure days anticipated?
From Brad Lobland, Director and Campus Ethics Officer of the Office of Human Resources
No, there will not be a soft closure this year. The hard closure is limited to the three days between the holidays, Dec. 29, 30 and 31. A memo with additional details on the hard closure will be coming out soon. If you would like to take additional leave during the holidays please work with your supervisor for approval.
Nov. 4, 2014 -- Tapingo
I think Tapingo is great! However I wish it was available for the salad bar. Is that something that is coming?
From Pamm Zierfuss-Hubbard, Contracts Manager of Auxiliary, Recharge and Contract Operations
Glad you like Tapingo! We'll be adding locations over the next month or so but we're going to be changing the format for the salad bar very soon. This change will affect whether or not the salad bar will be made available via Tapingo. Feel free to contact Dining Services at email@example.com and we'll keep you up to date.

Sergio Garcia ended a turbulent week reflecting on what might have been after rounding off his US Open campaign with a 74 to finish well down the field on 15 over.
Golf Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
The Spaniard arrived at Merion surrounded by controversy following his ill-advised "fried chicken" comment towards Tiger Woods, for which he made repeated apologies before and during the tournament.
Garcia brushed off the odd heckle from the galleries and admitted he had received favourable treatment overall, but the same could not be said of the 14th and 15th holes on the East Course.
He made eight on the 15th in the first round and a 10 on day three after pulling three drives out of bounds, and a seven at 14 in the final round meant he played the two holes in 16 over for the week.
"You take that away and I played well," Garcia said. "First day I was a little bit unfortunate, I slipped on 14 and hit it out of bounds. And 15, I hit a bad shot and obviously had to hit it again.
"But on Saturday I thought I hit two good drives to start with on 15, unfortunately they both went just out of bounds. And it's just the kind of holes that you have to be spot on.
"Today I didn't hit a big drive at 14. I missed my fairway by probably four yards and I was in the hay. So it's just that kind of tournament."

Number 74: Canadian High Tea at Zoe's
While I like to celebrate in the company of great friends and family, I seem to have established a tradition of treating myself to a lunch of local cheeses and charcuterie for my birthday. It started three years ago with my return visit to Rendez-vous des Saveurs de L'Outaouais (it is called Rendez-vous des Saveurs de Gatineau now). Then, the annual exhibition, to showcase food and wine, fine dining eateries, and culinary schools from the Outaouais region, was held in Gatineau's Maison du Citoyen (City Hall). A colleague had invited me and Jenn to go... | Continue reading article


text: Knew I should have looked in the Florilegium first! I do have al-Baghdadi at home, but had only briefly skimmed the meat recipes before asking my question. A funny thing happens when I read too fast and too focused: if I am looking for "sumac" and the actual word in the text is "sumach" — my brain completely skips over it. This is why I have to do two reads of anything I copy edit at work; once to zoom in on and eliminate the style errors I know particular writers repeatedly make; the second to slow down and read everything. Thanks again, everyone! After looking at the spicing of the medieval Arabic recipes, I am going to try varying that chicken couscous recipe I posted earlier by adding some cinnamon and coriander to it. I really like "tart" tastes, so the first time when I threw this together and used vinegar to deglaze the pan, I was in heaven. Actually, the vinegar was sort of desperation move, I was out of white wine. What this really is, is a one-pan dinner for weeknights when I want a good dinner in half an hour or less. I would imagine it would be good for a camping dinner too. Gianotta

Carrot Cake From Sam's Club
Sam's Club Daily Chef makes a decent carrot cake for $18. I didn't love the frosting but the cake itself was pretty good. If you are pressed for time this Thanksgiving, you could buy it and doctor it up. Use a spatula to clear the top layer of frosting and make your own sweet potato cream cheese frosting. BTW, I took a photo of the cake using the Canon Rebel SL1. I am loving the touch shuttle function of the camera.

Chili And Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
Today I learned how to use the Canon EOS Rebel SL1. I will be taking many food photos over the next week through Thanksgiving and sharing with you on the blog as part of their #BringIt campaign. This is what I had for lunch, chili with macaroni and cheese. My dad made the chili yesterday, but I like to add a little cinnamon, cocoa powder and cloves to give it a Cincinnati chili taste.
Speaking of cinnamon, Mexican hot chocolate is great for this cold weather, and Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes are even better.

Perk Up Cakes and Cupcakes With Herb Crystals
Monday was my sister's birthday and she ordered a chocolate cake from Piece of Cake. There's only a bit left, and I had a slice for dessert last night. Initially, I was going to sprinkle a little sea salt on the slice, but when I saw the hibiscus crystals in the pantry, I decided to go for it. It was delicious! Fresh Origins makes herbal and floral crystals in different flavors including fennel, mint, cilantro, rose and hibiscus.
The hibiscus crystals are a great combination of sweetness and citrus taste. These crystals are an unusual flavor accent but can used in so many dishes. Add a tangy spark to desserts; innovative topping for lemon sorbet and chocolate ganache.

Giveaway: Be The King Or Queen Of Your Domain With Domain.Me
The most common advice I give to anyone starting a blog is to see if you blog's domain is available and then buy it as soon as you can. Cupcakes Take The Cake was founded by Rachel and me nearly ten years ago. Blogging was pretty new back then and we both had full time jobs. The idea of buying a domain name wasn't first and foremost in our minds. Having your own domain name and hosting give you the flexibility to your website and to develop your online brand. Domain.me offered Cupcakes Take The Cake one year of free domain, so we now have CupcakesTakeTheCake.me. This is great because it's easier for our readers to find us.
If you want to be the queen or king of your domain, then you can enter our giveaway for one free year of domain registration.

Taking Photos With A Canon Rebel SL1
After nearly ten years of blogging, I have yet to own a digital SLR. I have been using a digital point and shoot for years and now I mostly use my phone's camera. Good food photography a digital SLR is essential. Canon is loaning me a camera to document my Thanksgiving. I will be taking photos and posting over the next two weeks. I got the camera via FedEx yesterday, and charged the battery last night. Here's my first selfie using the Rebel.

A Persian Peckham Pop-up
Last night, Anderson & Co. on Bellenden Road hosted the first Peckham Persian supper, cooked by shop keeper and food writer Sally Butcher of Persepolis. Sally's book 'Persia in Peckham' is one of the few I regularly cook from as opposed to flick through so I was very keen to try a traditional Iranian meal cooked by the woman herself. This is likely to become a regular thing by the way; I'm not going to tell you about a one-off event that's already happened, 'ooh I had a brilliant time! You can't go though'.
We started with a big 'ol plate of herbs, walnuts, white cheese (like feta) and radishes. Herbs are very important at the beginning of a Persian meal we are told; coriander, parsley and mint are eaten in sprigs like salad leaves and have various effects on the body such as cleansing the liver and kidneys and stimulating the appetite for the meal ahead.
Next is warm taftoon bread (like a cross between pitta and naan), which we use to scoop up meze. The word meze is derived from the Persian word 'mazeh' meaning 'taste', apparently. Fact. We descend upon must-e-laboo, a refreshing, sweet and lurid pink combination of thick yoghurt and beetroot. Mirza ghassemi is an outrageously garlic-y mix of spiced aubergine, tomato and eggs. Our party all loves garlic, so we wolf it like gannets, a heavy vampire-repelling forcefield forming around the table. There are also excellent pickles including the famous Persian pickled cucumbers; sweet, sour, hot and perfectly crisp.
The main course was ab-gusht: shoulder of lamb slow cooked with dried limes and beans. Fat, wibbly hunks of tender lamb and potatoes covered in a fragrant broth. Real comfort on a somewhat chilly evening. Adass pulao was lentil rice with date fudge; the rice studded with lentils which stayed firm and provided a nice bite every now and then. The date fudge = my favourite part of the whole meal; chunks of a sweet, sticky paste to counteract the citrussy stew. We squabbled over the last pieces.
To finish, a stunning Persian rose water sorbet, mixed with small pieces of noodle, which sounds really weird but I promise works. The 1cm lengths of noodle are soft and just provide a pleasing texture. There were sinful Persian pastries too, tooth-destroying sweet, saturated with sticky syrup. Delicious. I forgot to take a picture of both of those though because it's BYO booze and I drank too much.
All in all, a perfect evening was had by me, 3 mates and 1 boyfriend. Anderson & Co. is a great location, it feels really intimate despite seating about 30 (that's a guess) and we got one of the best seats, right by the kitchen. The food was unusual, delicious, plentiful and served on great big sharing platters; my idea of heaven. Sally was a charming host as well as cook and she came round to explain each dish as it was served. I can't wait to go back to the next one. Of course I recommend that you go too, so keep an eye on the news section of the Persepolis website for details.

Follow the website here for details of the next event. Anderson & Co. also host other evening meals, once a week I believe on a Wednesday. It's a cafe/deli in the day time and is well worth checking out, as is this article.

If you pick up a copy of Red Magazine this month and turn to page 110 there's an article where I talk about how bloody brilliant Persepolis is with lovely pictures of the shop.
