Will We See A New D1 Lacrosse Champ In 2014?
Less than a week ago, if you had asked me if we were going to see a new champion in D1 men's lacrosse in 2014, I would have said "unlikely, at best". 5 days later and my answer has changed to, "it seems incredibly likely right now, if not down right probable."

NCAA D1 Lacrosse: A New Champion in 2013?
When one looks at the eight remaining NCAA D1 men's lacrosse teams, it is easy to notice that half the teams have won national championships before, and half have not. What didn't jump out to me right away (but came to me late at night in a dream) is that no past winners are playing […]

125th Anniversary of the Church of God - August 19, 2011
On August 19, 1886, a band of believers gathered at the Barney Creek Meeting House in Tennessee and formed what would eventually become the Church of God. Today, 125 years later, these humble beginnings have resulted in a movement of nearly 7 million members worldwide in 178 countries.
At the 73rd International General Assembly last summer, a resolution was passed recognizing the first 125 years of the Church of God.
Restoring God's Church Powerpoint
This PowerPoint presentation, "Restoring God's Church," can be used to teach a class on the early history of the Church of God.

WHEREAS, this historical occasion provides an opportunity for the entire Church of God family to remember the past, rejoice in the present, and renew our commitment to the future;

G-Braves complete sweep of Norfolk in 7-1 win
By staff
LAWRENCEVILLE - The Gwinnett Braves concluded a 7-1 homestand with a sweep of Norfolk, defeating the Tides 9-2 on Thursday afternoon at Coolray Field. Jordan Parraz went 3-for-5 with a double and four RBI while Ernesto Mejia went 2-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBI as the G-Braves completed a four-game sweep of the Tides. Right-hander Eric Junge threw six scoreless innings for the win.
For the second-straight game, the G-Braves opened up a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never trailed. Tides left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada, making his first U.S. regular-season appearance in a Major League rehab start for the Baltimore Orioles, surrendered three-straight singles to start the game. Stefan Gartrell notched the third of those hits, lining a ball past shortstop Blake Davis to score Jose Constanza. Two batters later, Parraz drilled a double into the left-center gap, scoring Drew Sutton and Mejia.
The G-Braves increased the lead to 6-0 on Wada and the Tides in the third inning. Gartrell opened the frame with a walk, and Mejia followed with a two-run homer to left field on Wadas 1-1 pitch. Mejias second home run of the season made it 5-0 and helped chase Wada from the game with two outs. Norfolk right-hander Steve Johnson came on and allowed a final run to Wadas line, issuing a bases-loaded walk to Constanza that scored Parraz.
While Wada (L, 0-1) struggled with six earned runs and four walks over 2.2 innings, Junge (W, 2-1) cruised in his third start for Gwinnett. The 35-year-old right-hander held the Tides to just three hits over 6.0 innings, striking out two and walking none. He threw 91 pitches, 56 for strikes to capture his second win on the homestand.
Parraz added his third RBI with a single in the sixth and fourth RBI with a groundout in the eighth. Mejia drove in his third RBI of the day with his team-leading fifth double in the eighth as well, giving the G-Braves a healthy 9-2 lead.
Right-hander Anthony Varvaro, also making a Major League rehab appearance for the Atlanta Braves, pitched a perfect seventh including a strikeout. Left-hander Jose Lugo couldnt preserve the shutout as he issued two bases-loaded walks in the eighth to cut the Gwinnett lead to 7-2. Right-hander Jaye Chapman (S, 1) stranded three runners for Lugo in the eighth, then worked a scoreless ninth for the save.
Mejias big day extended his on-base streak to 13 games, while Constanza (2-for-4, RBI) and Sutton (1-for-5) each extended hitting streaks to a team-high-tying eight games.
Xavier Avery (2-for-5) and Matt Antonelli (2-for-4) had multi-hit games in the losing cause for Norfolk (5-10).
The IL South Division-leading Gwinnett Braves (11-4) now head to the road for a three-game series against the Charlotte Knights (7-7) beginning Friday night at Knights Stadium. Left-hander Yohan Flande (1-0, 0.00) is slated to start for the G-Braves, while the Knights will counter with left-hander Eric Stults (1-0, 1.64). Listen to the game on WDUN 550 AM and 102.9 FM with Tony Schiavone calling the play-by-play.

This article by Dr. Carter is quite well timed and on the mark. To impose such restrictive credit criteria on the parents of college students at a time of economic recessioin and hardship is just absent any concern for the people and, more importantly, for the nation's children. Such policy changes must have eminated from a few who fly above the trees and see the forest, but never walk through the thicket of the forest on the ground. The actions of large financial institutions over the course of the past decade or so with regard to credit cards, payday loans , and home mortgages do not give justification to increasing the requirements on our nation's children.
Given the financial bail out, forgiveness of prepayment penalties by the Treasury for major instituions, and forgiveness of debts due this naiton by other countries, placing such credit restrictions on parents and penalizing our children seems just sinful to me. What manner of person does this, and what analytical reasoning suggested that this action would strengthen the future stability of our national economy?
The US Department of Education has stated that they are still working on a resolution to their bad decisions with regard to Parent Plus Loans. To date their response has been to simply suggest that if parents are rejected they should reapply. And, if parents reapply they will be approved at a lowered amount and higher interest rate. Now, I just get a bit of heartburn trying to figure out why the leadership at Education does not realize first that a credit rejection to a parent whose child may well have to drop out of school is all but tramatic. Why would they think that many would reapply? Whatever is to be done in the reapplication process should simply be revised to be the criteria in the first place.
So, I thank Dr. Carter for his words, along with many other HBCU Presidents/Chancellors, and hope that somewhere this administration will finally listen. More importantly, let's hope the administration finally acts.

The city unveiled plans Thursday for the largest modernization of the CTA Blue Line since the O'Hare branch was built 30 years ago, a four-year overhaul that officials say will shave 10 minutes off travel between downtown and the nation's second-busiest airport.
But things are going to get slower before they get faster.
The $492 million track and station rehabilitation project beginning in the middle of next year will mean rolling delays for the more than 80,000 weekday commuters who board at stations on the branch as well as visitors who ride the train into the city after landing at O'Hare, transit officials said.
The CTA will try to minimize the hassle by offering travel alternatives such as shuttle buses and will schedule shutdown-causing track work for overnights and on weekends. But what is key to the upcoming project, and what sets it apart from the recently completed Red Line reconstruction, is that the Blue Line will stay open.
"There will be some temporary closures and impacts to customers,'' said Christopher Bushell, CTA chief infrastructure officer. "We need to get a little further into the schedule development. But there won't be any major changes to service."
Unlike the recently completed $425 million reconstruction of the 10-mile stretch of the Red Line Dan Ryan branch, which was completely shut down between mid-May and mid-October, the 12.5-mile overhaul of the Blue Line O'Hare branch represents much different priorities and challenges that will result in a longer-term pain for riders until they reap the gains, officials said.
By eliminating slow zones and allowing trains to operate at top speeds of 55 mph on longer stretches, CTA officials predict that travel times between downtown and O'Hare, which now take at least 45 minutes, will be cut by up to 10 minutes each way.
It's the same time savings that Red Line South branch riders now enjoy between downtown and the 95th Street terminal.
But that's where the similarities between the two projects end.
The Red Line South project was mostly at ground level along the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway. And the branch does not serve a major airport. Work during the five-month line shutdown involved building essentially a new railroad from the sub-base to the tracks and signal system, along with improvements at eight stations. Construction will begin in the spring on a $240 million project to rehab and expand the 95th Street terminal.
The O'Hare branch of the Blue Line includes elevated structure, subway tunnels and ground-level track on the median of the Kennedy Expressway. The upcoming project, called "Your New Blue,'' is not a complete track replacement, as was done on the Red Line South. Instead, the work involves a series of track and station improvements between the Grand and Cumberland stations.
CTA officials said they never considered a complete shutdown of the O'Hare branch, which according to the CT has seen a 25 percent ridership increase in the last five years.
"It's really a completely different kind of project,'' Bushell said. "It requires a different approach in terms of closures (because) it's a different kind of program that appeals to a broader base.''
The signal system will also be upgraded between the Jefferson Park and O'Hare stations to help increase train speeds, and an improved electrical power supply will provide increased capacity for the CTA to run more trains, as well as to improve service reliability, officials said.
"Turnback tracks'' will also be constructed at Jefferson Park and UIC Halsted to give CTA rail dispatchers the option to short-turn trains to pinpoint service to meet the heaviest demand during peak travel hours, officials said.
The project schedule has not been finalized, officials said. But it is expected to begin with track work, followed by renovations at 13 stations, power upgrades and signal improvements, Bushell said.
Wireless infrastructure will also be upgraded to support 4G service for passengers using mobile phones and other electronic devices in the Dearborn Street and Milwaukee Avenue subways, officials said.
In addition, renovations, similar to the facelifts conducted in 2012 and early this year at seven CTA stations on the Red Line north branch, will be done on the Blue Line stations at Grand, Chicago, Division, Damen, California, Logan Square and Jefferson Park, the CTA said.
Less extensive repairs will also be carried out at the Irving Park, Montrose, Harlem and Cumberland stations, officials said.
An elevator will be installed at the Addison station to make it accessible to individuals using wheelchairs.

Many Problems with our hot tub
Posted by
BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA -- We have owned our Hawkeye Spa for several years now. We purchased it on line and it was delivered by a trucking company. There were no problems with the delivery or installation. To date we have replaced nearly every major part of the hot tub. Both motors have been replaced as well as the colored changing light we paid extra for when the hot tub was new. The power pack went bad the first year and was replaced under warranty as well as the cracked face portion of the push button control area. Even though we kept the cabinet well stained the removable panel where the motors are located is now deteriorating as well as the steps. We have on many occasions found floating jets in the hottub as well as in the filter, by the way the plastic filter enclosure has been replaced as well as the 2 neck pillows our spa came with. The 2nd motor was just replaced last weekend and had been broken for the past 2 years. That motor has been discontinued by its manufacturer and since an alternate motor is not available we purchased it used off of Craigs list and it works perfectly for now. We also just replaced the cover for the 2nd time and switched to a SpaCap cover which so far we are totally pleased with....check them out as the cover is very different from conventional foam covers and very easy to use. I can say we have not had any problems with the acrylic surface of the spa and it looks like it did when it was new. Our hottub has been well maintained and the chemicals managed at least weekly since we have owned the spa but the repairs have been numerous regardless of its care. We stopped contacting Hawkeye customer service for assistance a few years ago because we really didn't get much satisfaction from them when we did call and our warranty is no longer in effect. I did do my homework when we purchased the hot tub new and Hawkeye was a highly rated company at that time. At the moment we are enjoying our hot tub in complete working order but who can say how long this will last!!

The Real Truth About Hawkeye Manufacturing
Posted by
Pallet man
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- Purchased Aug. 2007 for $6,600. Before delivery local Hawkeye dealer tried to skip town w/ my $3K down payment. Finally got delivery and installation. Since that time, tub has never performed for more than 3 consecutive months without breaking down. Since local dealer skipped I had to hire and pay for repairs. Total tab thus far....17 repair trips here in less than 2 years, total repairs $1,700. I have all the repair orders to prove it. While Hawkeye at the beginning did reimburse me $700 toward some repairs, this tub is a lemon if there ever was one. This is a NEW TUB!! I've spent more time under it than in it. Jets leaked water and shorted out the motor. Lever to control waterfall fell out of the wall. Heater stopped working. Hawkeye has been sending parts all the while as I repeatedly called repairmen to install them. Then when the part doesn't work Hawkeye always blames my repairman. Sent me a new motor, had repairman install, 2 weeks later low speed pump blew and a week after that the high speed motor blew. It also is leaking underneath from 3 different areas. Apparently this is exactly how a Hawkeye hot tub is supposed to perform according to [snip].
They also blamed me because the pipes froze - well only because the jet leak dripped water down a wire into the motor and shorted it out. Gets very cold in WI very fast but Hawkeye has blamed eveyone but Hawkeye. Now they've offered to rebuild it if I pay shipping - another $1,500. These people are nuts. I'm going to put out MORE money??? Not on your life -DON'T BUY HAWKEYE.

Hawkeye Spas - Defective Product
Posted by
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- If your considering purchasing a hot tub from Hawkeye Manufacturing http://www.hawkeyemfg.com/ you should read my experience first:
I purchased a $3k hot tub from them online back in September 2006. After approx 7 weeks I got a call from the freight company saying they have a spa to deliver. The truck showed up with only 1 guy who could not unload the 400LB hot tub. I had to reschedule delivery and take time off from work to help this guy unload the hot tub. Once the spa was unwrapped I noticed damage on 2 sides of the shell. When I mentioned this to Hawkeye they told me to file a claim with the freight company or pay them for replacement panels. For all I know this damage was caused in the factory and not by the freight company. In my opinion Hawkeye should just send the new panels and deal with the freight company (who they hired). Once I filled the hot tub with water I noticed 3 large leaks coming from underneath. Water was leaking out of the pump and one of the jets. Within a matter of hours it had completely drained itself and left large puddles on my floor. Since it was "Under Warranty" Hawkeye sent a local tech out to fix the tub. The tech charged me $415 and could not fix the hot tub. (Hawkeye complained about the $415 service fee even though they were the ones who recommended that particular tech.) The tech also noticed that the spa could not even be turned on because the circuit board was fried. It has now been 6 months and I have never used the spa. I have a $3k hot tub that cannot hold water or be turned on and a $415 repair bill which Hawkeye was supposed to re-imburse me for.
I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and a complaint with The Virgina Better Business Bureau. Hopefully I can get all my money back and purchase a new hot tub from a local provider. In my opinion you should think twice before buying a spa over the internet and check the BBB records of the company you wish to purchase it from. I found the quality and service of Hawkeye to be very poor and would not recommend them.
Company Response 3/7/2007:
As the customer has stated, he did receive a spa that may have been damaged by a shipping company and yes he did pay a charge to local service company for a service call. What he hasn't told you is that we have already picked the spa up from his house, and he has received his money back for the unit. We have also agreed to reimburse him for the service call charge that was made to determine what the problem was with the unit. What he also failed to tell you is that when the service company showed up to his house, they verified that he had installed the spa incorrectly and connected the incoming power supply to the circuit board improperly. Never the less, the spa has been picked up by one of our dealers and we have been informed that it is operating perfectly in his shop. Again, the exterior may have been damaged during delivery by the freight company and we were happy to take care of that and make it right it under any circumstances however the customer does need to notify the carrier of the situation as verification of the claim. That would have been a three minute phone call that the customer had to make but apparently didn't want to. Now I could post all of the foul language emails that I have received from day one from the customer but I feel that the situation has been handled and should just be ended. I am sorry that the customer did not receive his order in perfect condition and will state again that we have picked the spa up and he has received his money back.

Thanks for the heads up!
I agree that a purchase such as a hot tub should be made locally.
jimb03 on 07/31/2007:
I should have heeded scottg's advice (2/21/07)re: Hawkeye Mfg.
His story is quite similar as to what has happened to me. I waited over seven weeks for a hot tub from Hawkeye which was promised to be delivered in four weeks. I contacted my credit card company to place the item in dispute after not receiving the merchandise by the promised date. Then two weeks later Hawkeye wanted to deliver the tub which I refused. Now I am waiting for a refund from them which they are taking their good old time in doing. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau in Richmond, VA to which they also have ignored repeated requests to resolve this matter. My only warning to those who are considering purchasing a hot tub from this shady operation is BUYER BEWARE! I really regret that I read scottg's warning sooner! My advice to others considering doing business with this company is to do your homework before buying from traveling snake oil medicine shows like Hawkeye Mfg. puts on in various cities!
hotmilk400 on 08/30/2007:
After 7 weeks, they said there was NO warranty now. but there is a 3 year warranty, I have it IN MY HANDS!!!
WE are currently filing a complaint with the consumer protection agency and the Better Business Bureau. WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED FROM THEM IF WE HAD KNOWN THEY WERE NOT AN HONEST BUSINESS
RTS on 12/13/2007:
Wow, doesn't sound like the same company I have delt with, and continue to buy from. I now own my third Hawkeye hot tub and couldn't be more thrilled. Everyone from sales, to delevery, to service has treated me like royality. The service dept. has even talked me out of a "out of warranty" service call by telling me what was wrong, and how to fix it.......then calling me back after a few days to check on the repair. I happen to live in Richmond Va....The same city they are made, and based on my dealings with Hawkeye, I will never buy another brand!!
scottg on 12/14/2007:
your 3rd hot tub? what are you like 90 years old or do they break every 2 -3 years and you have to get a new one? Who goes out of there way to find these complaints, set up a user account and posts suck amazingly positive feedback? They treated you like royalty? PLEASE! If you didn't lay it on so thick I may have given you the benfit of the doubt but your clearly a Hawkeye employee so try spending less time making up fake blogs and do a better job servicing your legion of pissed off customers!
veryverypissedoff on 10/30/2009:
Just came up on this and just wanted to add something. HAWKEYE IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER OWNED CLOSE THE THE FORD EXPLORER. Anyway I bought the tub and it after a few months started getting hair line cracks I called the company and they told me that I needed to get them fix on my own they couldn't do anything about it. The heater went out then the spa control pack. SO I bought one of those. Then the pump went then the other one so I had to replave thoses as well. ANYONE WANTING TO BUY A SPA STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM HAWKEYE SPAS.

I used to work for Hawkeye years ago. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! They know what's wrong with the spa before they send it out but send it anyway because they need the money so badly. One time a batch of bad spas went out and the phone wouldn't stop ringing! No the manager nor the owner wanted to talk to these angry folks. They would pass along some "cock and bull" story to the customers in hopes that they are that stupid. They blame everyone else for their problems but their own. Ohhh and the creditors call as often as the angry customers. Once the landlord had to stop by several times in order to get his past due rent. The manager would hid from him by working at another location and having someone tell him that she has the checkbook and we don't know when she is coming back. I mean, the list goes on. Don't even get me started on illegal immigrants working there!

I bought a spa we have been it only 1 time it had a lot of things wrong with it we contacted the manufacturing and they have build us a new one now they tell us we have to wait till they have a delivery in our area[when someone purches one]before we get it well that could take up to 1 month to???? in the mean time I have to pay for something I don't have. we love our spa and we bought it due to some health problems we have it not doing us much good if we can't use it now

We have to replace a very old spa and considered hawkers spas as our repair man said we should consider. We made plans with a sales rep to visit their site. We arrived a little late, but it didn't matter. The guy never showed up to meet with us. There was no one there to answer the door, despite ringing a buzzer and knocking, we were ignored. We found out later the GM had closed the shop for the Holidays, but no one told us. The place was a pit by the way. Not impressed.
LARRYM on 03/31/2012:
We bought a tub from Hawkeye about 5 yrs ago. Same issues, they were several weeks late. I was having a deck built around the tub and this held up the contractor, and by the time I finally got the tub the contractor was unavailable. They had bubble wrapped the tub before the stain had dried. The fix, they sent me a can of stain and told me to take care of it. Then I had a few jets that were bad, and it was like pulling teeth to get new jets. They told me that the jets were not covered under the warranty, but that this time they would "do me a favor" and give me some jets. Then I had another issue a few years later and the Hawkeye service rep came to my house, and then he told me the jets "were" covered under warranty, and replaced a bunch more. Every time I needed to call them or go to the warehouse it was nothing but a pain, and they were very rude and acted as if I was bothering them. Not the kind of customer service I expected for spending as muich money as I did.

These guys are gutless .Don't go to a show they have and sign anything.I got ripped off 1900.00 and can not get my money back. I found a person who sells there products in NY for 2000-3000 less than they sell it for at a so called spa show and sale.The people at Hawkeye are the worst I have ever delt with at the shows they put off they are the best of class in the industry.I hope they all go to H--- for the way they rip hard working americans out of there hard earned money.Hawkeye you have not herd the last of me.I will tornado your future shows.
Joel McLean on 05/29/2013:
I thought Hawkeye had only gone downhill since the founder died last year. I just bought a spa from them and all these complaints seem to be SOP for them. 11 weeks to deliver a spa promised in 5-6 weeks, broken parts on delivery, no response from the manufacturer, complaint filed with the Richmond BBB which Hawkeye has ignored. The BBB is looking at going to mediation with me on my complaint to see if I can get resolution, but my suspicions are that Hawkeye will not answer the phone from them either. I filed a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General of VA, consumer complaint department, but they looked at the case and realized since the purchase transaction took place in NC and not VA, they had no jurisdiction so they forwarded my complaint to the NC OAG. Even the delivery guy who works for Hawkeye says that they are shady. To anyone looking for a hot tub or spa, look to a respectable manufacturer. Avoid Hawkeye and Barefoot spas.
steve coleman on 12/03/2013:
will not honor warranty and claim everything is your fault for not maintaining hot tub correctly. They want your credit card before they will send a technician out. see form below they want you to sign 1-(804) 349-4241 I agree that if a service tech is sent out and it is NOT covered under warranty, that I will pay all associated charges plus parts to the service tech at the time of service.
If covered by warranty customer or service tech MUST photograph and send picture in for review. Also ALL defective parts must be mailed back to manufacturer for warranty review. If deemed "NOT" covered the customer agrees to be responsible for all charges.

Rebecca on 12/17/2013:
Same thing happened to us. The guy showed up to unload the hot tub with a guy that said he couldn't help because he has a bad back. We called a friend to help and got it delivered. We called our electrition to have it hooked up and everything worked great except the radio. We kind of sat on it for a while and about 6 months before the warranty runs out we called the place we bought it from. They said to call a number which we did. That tech said he won't come out because the company stopped paying them for their services. We called the company and they wanted our credit card and some more forms filled out. They said they would get back to us with a tech. We waited 2 or 3 weeks and nothing. Then we tried again and found out the original person no longer works for them. Here we are a month away from the warranty expiring and still getting the run around. DON'T BUY THIS BRAND! Barefoot spas!

No Service After the Sale When Stuff Goes Wrong.
Posted by
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- We bought our Hawkeye Spa at a local home show an fell in love with it. After about 18 months, with 18 months left on our warranty, the pump went bad. I called the company twice and got no one, only a recording. Finally after a third call a guy named Kyle called me back. When I told him about my problem he said it wasn't under warranty. Only problem was at this point he hadn't asked when we bought it. Upon letting him know that, he agreed it was under warranty. He then said I had to complete a Work Pre-Authorization which I did and had back to him in 8 minutes. I thought that someone would contact us and after a few weeks we heard nothing. So I started trying to call them again and after 4 calls this time, I finally had a local Spa Repairman call them and they called him right back in about 5 minutes. He explained who he was calling for (me) and Kyle told him that we had not completed the form. The repairman explained that he was looking at the form at that moment. Then Kyle said they would get a pump sent out. 1 month later, no pump, no call back, no one will return my emails. I replaced the pump anyway because we want to use our hot tub. Now, I will be willing to join any class action in the future to get my money back. I wouldn't do business if these people were the last hot tub people on Earth.

Customer Service Not Good
Posted by
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- Bought hot tub at a show. The guys all talked a good game. Paid more for this spa than a spa we were about to buy from another company, about 3K more. Mainly, because of the "great warranty", because of the way it was built (according to the salesman). Several things were not very good, after they had my money. The customer service is horrible. The guy treats you like you are an idiot, and that you are bothering him. Rude, rude, rude!! I have been enjoying my spa, after getting by all the crap (after purchasing), but I realize that the warranty is probably not any good, and for sure, the customer service is horrible.
I had to learn how to fix the problems myself early on, because if became obvious that, once they had my money, they were pretty much going to be absent. I cannot in good conscience recommend this company.

Customer Service Sucks
Posted by
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- We purchased the Spa in October of 2011. We have loved it and had no issue with it....until this past three months. We have an issue with the filter being "stuck" "vapor locked" in the unit. Even after turning power off the filter won't release.
I have called, emailed, faxed....called, emailed, faxed until I am blue in the face....their voice mail system is useless---you leave messages that go un-returned or you get a message -- "This voice mail box is not set up, don't leave a message-it will not be returned"....then there is a beep to leave a message. You CANNOT get a live body to speak with. I finally, today 5/21/13 pressed #14 and got a live body who was short, snappy, not friendly at all...was not at all helpful to transfer me to a tech who could help....Only, that our spa was out of warranty and I would have to call a spa place to have them service it and pay for it myself. I made a comment about how bad I felt I was treated over these last 3 months....His comment was "Well, we just went to a new phone system,,, and we are busy---I have had 5 calls come in while I am speaking to you." Couldn't have cared any less....Memorial Weekend is now upon us---we are having company----and we still do not have the spa up and running, due to Hawkeye Mfg's downright hateful and neglectful attitude. NOT ONCE since we purchased, has anyone from the sales/customer service department even called to see if we liked the spa, had any questions/concerns....We like the spa...used it daily....BUT HAWKEYE MFG/SPA folks get a big ZERO on their Customer Service. Thank you

Our Spa at Beech Mountain
Posted by
Eagle Rock
We purchased a Hawkeye Ambassador for our new Mountain Lodge at Beech Mountain, NC last year and have been so very impressed with the quality of service and the unit's operation especially during the winter months. It has really been an outstanding and relaxing experience after a day of winter sports! We had a challenge with our speakers and Hawkeye sent us the replacement speakers the next day! Now that is Customer Service at its finest! We call them frequently to ask basic questions and they are always attentive, courteous and focused on our specific challenge! An excellent product and excellence service makes all of the difference!

Very happy with our purchase
Posted by
Bought our spa this past year at a sale here in town. We had been looking around at several other brands, Caldera, Hot Springs, Sundance.... We went to this show and spoke to one of their sales reps who was very informative. We hadn't planned on buying one, but the price we negotiated was thousands less than anything else comparable we had looked at thus far. We had it delivered 2 days later. The delivery guys were great and even came back a few weeks later to move the spa where we wanted it. It's been a little over 6 months now and honestly we've had no issues other than my kids had messed with the settings and it stopped heating for a few days. I called Hawkeye and one of the guys in their service dept. walked me through how to change the settings back to where it would heat. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality hot tub at an affordable price.

Best Money I Ever Spent
Posted by
After extensive remodeling after a fire we decided to treat ourselves to a new deck, glass slider, and a spa. Our local 5 state fair in Massachusettes always had many dealers so we looked them all over and decided upon Hawkeye because they were the only company that made a small spa with safety handles on the inside of it.
We have had the spa four four winters now and we are still as thrilled to use it now as we were the first time.
Our local dealer delivered the spa on time and without incident. After I hooked it up and had the building inspector sign off on the electrical installation (not a job for the non-technical) we fired it up, waited for the temp to come up and jumped in and we have been smiling ever since.
The dealer we selected at the fair was 21st Century Pools in Chickope, Mass. They told us what we needed to do to have a quality installation and we followed their directions. Anyone foolish enough to attempt to do the 50 amp 220 VAC electrical hookup without knowing what they are doing should not expect the manufacturer or the dealer to fix their burnt up controller.

Our experience with a Hawkeye Spa
Posted by
We bought our Hawkeye hot tub in 2000. The tub has worked like a champ until just a few days ago when the pack crapped out on us. But since the life of the pack is 8-10 years, that was to be expected.
My only complaint is that right away I noticed sup-par craftsmanship on the construction of the frame. I'm an amateur carpenter and it seemed like the interior frame was constructed by people who didn't know how to use a tape measure or a nail gun. That being said, the frame is probably the least important part of the whole package, it's main purpose being purely cosmetic.

The U.S. Senate passed by a 68-32 vote Thursday an immigration bill devised in part by Sen. Charles Schumer that includes increased border security and would allow thousands of New Yorkers who do not have legal immigration status to start on a legal path to citizenship. However, getting the bill passed in the House is going to be a much harder lift. Washington bureau reporter Michael Scotto filed the following report for NY1.
Immigration reform passed through the Senate Thursday with a good amount of bipartisan support.
"This is the beginning of a wonderful day for America because America has always been a nation of immigrants, and every time there are some who say, 'Turn your back on the immigrant,' they lose," said Sen. Charles Schumer.
Highlighting the importance of the vote, Vice President Joe Biden presided over it as senators sat at their desks.
The bill would strengthen border security, overhaul the visa system and put 11 million undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship.
A last-minute amendment aimed at winning over Republicans and some Democrats would spend tens of billions of dollars doubling the number of border patrol agents and building 700 miles of fence along the southern border.
"This legislation will not only give us a secure border, but it will address the key element because people who now want to come here illegally will know that they cannot," said Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
For a number of Republicans, though, the border security proposals don't go far enough.
"The promises that are made in terms of 100 percent situational awareness and operational control, there's absolutely nothing there that will guarantee the American people that that promise will be kept," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas.
Border security and a path to citizenship are big concerns of conservatives in the Republican-controlled House, which is why getting comprehensive immigration reform through there is going to be a challenge.
House Speaker John Boehner said that any bill that comes to the floor will need the support of the Republican majority.
"The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes," Boehner said.
President Barack Obama is aware of the challenges. In a statement, he said, "Now is the time when opponents will try their hardest to pull this bipartisan effort apart so they can stop commonsense reform from becoming a reality."
Immigration reform advocates have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks.

May 18, 2012 -- The MBA program at Mount St. Mary's College announces a new concentration in Project Management that provides a foundation in the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, controlling and closing of projects. The new concentration offers students an option for a special certification in the field — a big plus in a competitive job market. Key areas of focus include communication, leadership, effective team management and applied critical thinking skills.
Courses are integrated with the Project Management Institute, Inc. (PMI) and utilize A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®, Guide) for coursework and assignments. The concentration coursework prepares students for the Project Management certification exam – a key opportunity for those looking to add professional certification to their résumés. Faculty who teach the concentration classes are certificated as Project Management Professionals (PMP) by the Institute.
"The project management discipline is currently identified as the most in-demand skill set globally by several national publications," said William T. Huddleston, a retired NASA program manager and lead faculty member in the new concentration. "With the poor economic condition of our country, MBA students will be able to graduate with not only an MBA but also a certification by a professional organization creating a distinct advantage in competing for hard-to-fill positions due to the current global skill shortage," he added.
Project management skills are applicable to almost any job and across all industries. The concentration begins with the MBA's fall 2012 cohort. "We are pleased to offer this concentration as Mount St. Mary's MBA program continues to stretch and grow," said MBA program Director Janet Robinson. "The Project Management concentration provides yet another real-world capability for our students looking to excel in business today."
Mount St. Mary's launched its MBA program in 2008. The program is offered in a weekend format to those with a bachelor's degree in any field. Classes are held at the Doheny Campus in the heart of Los Angeles. All students participate in a 10-day international travel-study course to China as part of their MBA curriculum.
A Mount MBA replaces the traditional course-by-course master's curriculum with theme-based modules. By blending business disciplines that are traditionally kept separate — marketing, finance and business law — students develop a "big picture" view of how disciplines come together in the actual business environment. The degree culminates in a real-world final consulting project from an organization of the student's choice.
For more information about the new concentration and about the MBA program, visit http://www.msmc.la.edu/graduate-programs/mba.asp, or call 213.477.2800.

Sales force outsourcing is a significant part of many companies sales and marketing organizations, and this has led to four basic sales and marketing business models. The first two models are project sales outsourcing and functional/task sales outsourcing.
Project Sales Outsourcing
This kind of sales outsourcing is when a company works with a third party to drive a specific project only. This type of sales outsourcing can also include conducting a comprehensive evaluation of market potential and risk before pursuing a specific project. Examples of projects typical to project sales outsourcing include:
Functional/Task Sales Outsourcing
Functional or task sales outsourcing involves outsourcing specific sales and marketing functions like:
The functions that are outsourced can either be performed by a third party cheaper, better, and/or faster. A detailed analysis should be conducted to determine which functions are best outsourced and which are best performed in-house to optimize a sales and marketing organization. The first step of this analysis is to identify core and non-core activities. Core activities are the functions that provide a competitive advantage. Non-core activities are functions that are essential to the business model but do not provide a competitive advantage. Core activities should undergo a careful strategic analysis before being outsourced so that they can be optimized to build a company's strengths and minimize points of vulnerability.
A strategic skills gap analysis should also be undertaken to identify opportunities to differentiate a company and create a competitive advantage. These goals are achieved by acquiring new core competencies and, in some cases, they are outsourced because that is the fasted and most cost-effective way to access a new capability.

Editor's note: William J. Bennett, a CNN contributor, is the author of the newly published "The Book of Man: Readings on the Path to Manhood." Bennett, the Washington fellow of the Claremont Institute, was U.S. secretary of education from 1985 to 1988 and was director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President George H.W. Bush.
(CNN) -- The Paul Ryan-Ron Wyden Medicare reform plan is a political game-changer. Amidst heated gridlock in Washington, Rep. Paul Ryan, a conservative budget hawk, and Sen. Ron Wyden, a respected liberal senator, have reached consensus on vital entitlement reform. Medicare is on the track to insolvency; this could be the bipartisan solution.
Starting in 2022, the Ryan-Wyden plan would change Medicare into a premium support system that allows seniors to choose between private insurance plans or the existing, traditional, government-run Medicare plan for the coverage and plan that is best for them. Americans currently over age 55 would not be affected by the changes.
The premium support system (which is different from a voucher system) would be safeguarded so all the new private health plans would be required to offer health services equivalent to the traditional Medicare system. The premium support payments would be risk-adjusted so seniors with greater health problems would have affordable coverage.
These new private plans would not be able to deny Americans coverage based on pre-existing conditions or health risks. Additionally, there would be a cap on cost growth of 1 percent over the growth rate of Gross Domestic Product, plus inflation; the cap would not trigger automatic cuts, but it would require Congress to enact cost saving legislation.
Some conservatives object to the fact that Ryan, R-Wisconsin, keeps traditional Medicare intact, while liberals oppose the intrusion of private plans. Both sides had to give something to reach compromise, but Ryan said he believes that over time, competitive, transparent private markets will outperform the government option.
The Ryan-Wyden reforms look radically different from President Obama's Medicare changes under Obamacare. His plan would cut $500 billion from Medicare over time to pay for other parts of Obamacare. A board of elected bureaucrats, called the Independent Payment Advisory Board, would regulate Medicare costs and legislate cost-cutting measures.
The Ryan-Wyden proposal would reform Medicare from the bottom up, giving Americans the power to choose the health care plan best for them. Private markets and the government would compete for business according to who can offer the best prices and plans. President Obama's plan reforms Medicare from the top down. Elected officials would determine the rates of growth and reimbursements and mandate those to hospitals and doctors.
This distinction is important both politically and philosophically.
Ryan's collaboration with Wyden, D-Oregon, undermines the president's political argument that Republicans want to dismantle Medicare. Furthermore, the collaboration of a conservative and liberal nullifies the president's campaign mantra that reform is impossible with a "do-nothing" Republican Congress. The president's "Mediscare" tactics no longer hold water.
Putting politics aside, Republicans and Democrats can reach consensus. Bipartisan work is possible without sacrificing core principles, and if we are ever to reform entitlements and cut the deficit, bipartisanship is essential. Wyden is a serious Democrat who recognizes that his party and the president would do well to follow suit.
Most important, the Ryan and Wyden compromise shifts the focus of entitlement reform toward free market, private business solutions and away from big government, one-size-fits-all fixes.
Given the status quo in Washington, the odds that this proposal would be enacted before 2012 are slim. The president already disregarded his own deficit commission, in which several commissioners advocated similar Medicare reforms.
With the Ryan-Wyden compromise on the table, however, the outcome of the 2012 elections become even more important. With a new president, in one fell swoop Congress could roll back Obamacare's cuts to Medicare, put it on a track to fiscal solvency, and politically disarm "Mediscare" attacks -- all with bipartisan support.

The race began in 1973. From 1973 to 1978 the Honolulu Marathon doubled in size every year. At the forefront of the growth of the Honolulu Marathon was cardiologist Jack Scaff, one of the first physicians to prescribe running as therapy for heart disease. Over time, the race grew and changed, luring large corporate sponsors and paying substantial prize money to the winners. In 1995, the Honolulu Marathon enjoyed the distinction of being the world's largest marathon when it drew 34,434 entrants and had 27,022 finishers. Unique to the Honolulu Marathon among American marathons is its popularity among runners from Japan. The marathon is popular enough that the Honolulu Marathon Association maintains an office in Tokyo to process entries. Japan Air Lines has been the title sponsor of the race since 1985.

Okay. I admit it. I don't recycle much. I throw alot of stuff out. I watched Al Gore's movie and it freaked me out but I'm really lazy. I drink at least 2 bottles of water every day at work and since there isn't a recycling center at work, I throw those bottles out. My daughter will be living on top of those thrown out, unrecycled plastic bottles 20 years from now. I ought to just save them so she can use them for building materials since there won't be any trees left. Not that it matters much because I live by the shoreline and there won't be any land left after the glaciers melt and the sealevel rises.
So…okay… baby steps. I need to start recycling those water bottles. Or bringing a re-usable water bottle and just re-filling it.
I have always believed that education is the key to the world. And for some reason, I just want to start a scholarship. I've been thinking about doing this for about two years now but couldn't figure out what kind of scholarship to start or what my goal was. I figured it out a couple months ago. I have a special needs child and I thought it would be so cool to start a scholarship for graduating seniors who have special needs or are in special education. I'v been to those scholarship awards nights and the same kids keep getting honored over and over. I want to honor someone people don't think about. Someone who has to work a little harder to get to the same place. This is my goal. Now, I have to stop thinking and start doing.

Plover, WI: The Women In Trucking Association's board of directors unanimously approved Jeff Hammonds, Vice-President of Walmart Transportation (www.walmartstores.com) in Bentonville, Arkansas as its newest board member.
Hammonds fills the board seat vacated by Lana Batts, who resigned earlier this year to focus her efforts at Transport Capital Partners.
"Walmart has already shown their dedication to our mission," said Ellen Voie, President/CEO of Women In Trucking. "With Jeff's involvement at the board level, we hope to use his knowledge of the industry and his desire for a better driver environment to helps us achieve our goals," Voie added.
"Walmart's gold-level sponsorship of Women in Trucking fits well with our corporate goal of inclusion and diversity," said Hammonds, "and I am excited at the opportunity to shine the spotlight on the role women play in this business." Walmart and Fito-Lay have supported the association at a higher level by becoming Gold Level Partners in 2009.
Women In Trucking was established in 2007 to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry. Its growth since its inception has been notable and has reached 1300 members, both corporate and individual.
