NYSCOPBA weighs in on proposed prison closures
ALBANY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued an executive order to create a task force that will recommend prison closures, and that is not sitting well with the union that represents corrections officers.
A representative with NYSCOPBA says you have to "rightsize" before you can downsize.
Tom Haas of NYSCOPBA says that the more inmates you pack in an area, the more problems you'll have, and he has a big problem with this new task force and the orders it has.
"You can not study the New York State Department of Corrections in 30 days...there is no way possible that anyone can do it. It's a massive agency," Haas said. "When we talk about cutting more staff, since 2009 we lost 1,000-plus CO's, Sergeants...NYSCOPBA members that they have not replaced through attrition. Through attrition they have not been replaced."
In the four facilities locally, about 2,600 people are employed.
Under Governor Cuomo's plan, communities that depend on prisons as major employers could receive up to $100 million in assistance.
"The 3,400 beds, according to the governor, will save $72 million," Haas said. "But, if he's going to, on the other hand, give out $100 million to the local communities affected by losing these beds...what are we saving? There is no savings there."
Cuomo projects $72 million in savings from the proposed prison system closures in 2011-12 and another $112 million in 2012-13. The total savings over the two years is estimated at $184 million.

Personally, I think it depends how many other items you have. If (for example) you have no other hobbies/"reallife" stuff, listing multiple ones is fair enough.
If however you have 9999999 hobbies, I wouldn't write 200 pages etc
Personally if I'm writing something of multiple versions, list the best one/two, and write something along "and qualified in many other competitions" etc/

|Long-gun registry near death
|Local Content - Local News
|Written by trevor
|Thursday, 23 February 2012 16:33
After a long-fought engagement in Ottawa, the elimination of the long-gun registry is one step closer to completion this week.
Bill C-19, or the Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act, recently passed third reading in the House of Commons and will now be headed for the Senate for final consideration before passing into law.
"That was certainly something that we had been working on for years as part of our policy," said Medicine Hat MP LaVar Payne. "Now it has gone to the Senate, and the Senate will do their readings and their committee meetings, and eventually pass that bill, hopefully by summer. In which case, the registry will be destroyed as part of Bill C-19."
Payne indicated reaction to the progress of the bill in the riding has been almost universally positive.
"Almost every week I'm getting e-mails or phone calls or running into people saying get rid of the long-gun registry, so that in fact is happening. It's just a matter of time now before it gets through the Senate and receives Royal Assent, and then that will be the end of it."
While Bill C-19 removes the need to hold a registration certificate for non-restricted firearms, it does not change the requirement for all individuals to hold a licence in order to possess a firearm, a background check, and pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course.
"I'm very pleased that we're moving forward on that issue, because I think it's important to the country, particularly for farmers, sports shooters, and duck hunters," said Payne.

The jazz-cabaret singer with class
Sunday, March 10
7pm $30
Paula West - vocals
Matt Clark - piano
Brad Buethe - guitar
John Wiitala - bass
Jason Lewis - drums
With a particular dusky soulfulness, West has captured the hearts of critics and audiences alike from coast to coast. Known and respected for her creative and distinct repertoire, West adds her own depth and drama to whichever song she chooses for the moment, creating whole new frameworks of meaning for American favorites. Without fail, the songs come from a place of sincerity. "In the end," she explains, "it's just getting the story across. To me, the words are the most important thing." As New York Times' Margo Jefferson writes in her liner notes, "Ms. West never forces anything. She is rhythmically fluid and she knows just where to alter a melody but there are none of the embellishments that show off the voice, bury the song and leave the heart untouched."

Analyst: BlackBerry 10 could be a failure like the BlackBerry PlayBook
get any closer to iOS and Android in terms of features. Faucette said that reviews of BlackBerry 10 will probably show that the OS will offer less than the existing platforms out there. The analyst believes that unless RIM takes an ax to its pricing for the new line of phones it will offer, it will be a "very tough sell."
Not all analysts are bearish on the stock of the Canadian manufacturer. Peter Misek of Jefferies who at one time was like Blair and Faucette, is now bullish on RIM. Misek sees the stock rising as high as $43 in the next 12 months which would require a better than 360% gain from the stock's current price, slightly under $12.
"RIM will be offering an entirely new OS, a brand new UI and experience to its user base. And when compared to the other … major players in the smartphone market next year, we don't believe that BB10 will offer anything more than the existing options. In fact, we expect most reviews of BB10 to confirm that it offers less. … And unless the price points are substantially lower than existing offerings, it will be a very tough sell once it's on the shelves."-Brian Blair, Wedge Partners

The Playbook was a failure for the price. I mean $499 for a wifi only 7 inch tablet.. No thank you.. The minute that price went way down, I jumped on it. Great device with a fantastic browser.
5. downphoenix (Posts: 2416; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
how do they know it will offer less if it hasnt been released yet? I know they are probably basing this on the Playbook launch, but Blackberry has learned a lot from that, and also the company was ran by the 2 Bozos back then, they're no longer calling the shots.

I bet it does better then WP8 lol :P
15. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
not really, BB has more loyal fans than WP..even though nokia join the WP party... they cant rise that much... very limited... a lot of people find it wierd coz of that live tiles but for me, its a unique experience that is not available to android or iOS..but WP dont have that good experience that what can BB10, android and iOS can give...
the only thing that i want to see is that i could change the background with my picture..i hate that it's only black or white (or whatever color)..thats why i think winmo is kinda better with that since it people could actually costumize or personalize their windows mobile device!
they should allow them to personalize (i dont know if the deal is still on with personalization) the UI of their
37. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
I agree man. Bb have loyal fans.
7. BBGrind (Posts: 50; Member since: 17 Jan 2012)
That WP8 and others haters who feel threatened by what they see. I have PLAYBOOK and it work very well for what I have it for.
16. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
they keep on saying negative..but the truth they are just insecure!
Playbook works great even without the help of a BB phone!
8. wendygarett (unregistered)
Overpricing is a major factor that makes bb10 fail... Playbook is an awesome device, just that most analyst don't own ones...
13. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
totally agree... if it wasnt overprice (heck im a BB fan(but not a fanboy as what nikolas address me) but no deal for a 7" tablet with $500 price tag!!!!)
the PB is now worth the money ($149 for 16GB, some even offer 64GB for $200)
analysts dont know a thing!!! they just want to say negative to keep it from being succesful!
17. wendygarett (unregistered)
Nikolas hate rim is because their country loaded too much of bb user... Some people just hate the mainstream device for no reason, let forgive him :)
19. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
yeah...because he has no life other than tweeting his hatred to BB and crackberry and hating BB!!!

32. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
the people here in PA are not americans...not all of them... coz most americans wants to buy an apple..celebs like iPhone..
you do know that everytime there's an iPhone launch people is willing to wait for the store to open right?!
they dont even have that advertisement...while on samsung, they use samsung note 2 on AMAs to advertise..

what this analyst is not seeing or is REFUSING to see is that blackblerry still has a great community of users that ARE going to love this new blackberry, and as time goes on ....others will too.
12. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 4167; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Do we really need an analyst to point this out? I think the analyst is really Captain Obvious in disguise.
14. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
analysts dont know a thing!!! they just want to say negative to keep it from being succesful!
just like what they say about WP, but now on all tech sites they keep on putting lumia 920 on #1 that is worth to buy this christmas!

''Blackberry playbook is a failure'' says phone arena who reviewed the Blackberry Playbook and rated it 7 (good) and User ratings with 10/10.
29. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
what it mean by failure is that it fail to capture market..yeah its a great tablet!! one of a kind! but RIM's pricing hurts its sales...
put it this way, will you ever buy a $500 7" tablet with little apps available? versus an iPad with same pricetag but with 100,000(by that time 2010-2011) apps available?
thats why the android tablet didnt boom as well..they also offer the 7" tablet almost similar to iPad's price point, for example the HTC flyer and jetstream...very very pricey! and so is other 10" tablet out there! they cant eat iPad sales if they price themselves same with iPad!
the reason why kindle fire is a hit! the first android (even forked) to gain respectable share! thats what google is after with their new nexus line 4, 7, 10!
not to mention the HP touchpad... it was pricey but very limited and the device itself is limited (you cant use the camera to take self photos) but when HP cut down the price to $99, everybody go nuts!! it was an overnight hit!

I'll give a BB10 phone a shot, especially if it can run Android Apps....

it can..but still you need to be converted...but its easy as hell...
android devs should consider developing on BB10 too! since no re-writing is needed...even iOS and other C++ devs!

Oh man, I cannot agree with you more. Unfortunately, they were both friends of the director, and wrote most of their respective characters. In the Proof of Concept that we did last summer, we had a Russian chick who was awesome as th vigilante(the one with the gun), but she dropped out because she didn't want to swear.
But there is one girl in the film who I think did well, despite being a child actor, and that would be the girl playing my daughter.

Which phone dude? Older jean jacket or blonde? Older jean jacket is a bit part(just the phone call), and blonde is my second in command.

Jean jacket guy.
And hell, I would have given up the curse words for a decent Russian actress.

Thought so. Blonde is my BFF, who got the part from my recommendation when the previous actor(who sucked) got canned.
Also, totally agree with you on Russian actress for the "Killer Kim" role. Also she was super gorgeous and I would have loved to hang with her more.

Does anyone offer "free money" to start a business? Business-plan competitions come pretty close, typically featuring small pots of money, up to $50,000.
University-sponsored contests are popping up all over the country, with participants required to be current students, recent graduates or business-founding teams that include at least one university student. Winners of local university competitions also sometimes go on to national (and international) ones. For example, teams from around the world competed at the Moot Corp International Business Plan Competition at the University of Texas, Austin, described as "the granddaddy of business competitions." This year's contest featured 26 teams, including one each from licensed Moot Corp competitions in Africa, Asia, Australia and Canada. Contestants competed for a first-place prize of $15,000. Hewlett Packard also offered $100,000 in goods and services to one lucky team that agreed to launch an Internet company.
A number of municipalities have jumped on the business-plan-competition bandwagon to stimulate economic development. Probably the oldest such contest is sponsored by the Eau Claire Area Industrial Development Corp. in Wisconsin. Since 1986, the agency has invested $29,500 in companies.
Others who have followed the Eau Claire example include Amarillo, Texas; Carbondale, Illinois; Haverhill, Massachusetts' Cyber District; and Pittsburgh.
Hot Opportunities
Competitions associated with universities typically require that at least one member of the founding team be a current student or alumnus of the school.
- Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurial Competition (at Purdue University): more than $30,000 in cash prizes. Open to Purdue students and teams that include a Purdue student.
- Harvard Business School Business Plan Contest is open to second-year business schools students and team including at least one second-year student. Awards include cash and in-kind services.
- UC Berkeley has several contests--the Haas Social Venture Business Plan Competition and the UC Berkeley Business Plan Contest, open to students and alumni. The social venture contest offers a top prize of $10,000 to companies with a positive financial and social or environmental outcome. The regular contest in 2000 offered $50,000 for the winner.
- MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition targets students and researchers in the MIT community. All teams must have at least one full-time MIT student as a principal contestant.
- The Hummer Winblad February Madness Start-Up contest is open to individual or business teams where the founding management team is currently enrolled in a post-secondary college or university. The first-place winner will receive an offer of funding from Hummer Winblad. (415) 979-9600. (Lisa Anderson)
- Babson College holds several competitions. The Douglass Foundation Entrepreneurial Prizes, for one, offers graduate students a total of $10,000 in awards ($6,000 to the winner, $3,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place). The John H. Muller Jr. Business Plan Prize Competition awards $5,000 to an undergraduate.
- Indiana University conducts three competitions: The Indiana University Spirit of Enterprise Undergrad Business Plan Competition; the MBA Business Plan Competition, organized by the Kelley School of Business; and the invitation-only Indiana University Spirit of Enterprise MBA Business Plan Competition. The latter contest features the winning teams of local contests at nine Midwestern schools.
- Enterprise Creation Competition sponsored by Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio offers more than $12,000 in cash prizes to teams of undergraduates from universities around the nation.
- The inaugural Duke University Startup Challenge in 1999, operated in three phases, offered the winning team a $30,000 first prize. Teams must consist of at least one current Duke student, and mixers are held during the preliminary stages of the competition to facilitate team formation. For more information, call: (919) 660-7700.
- Howard University holds a business-plan contest for students offering a cash prize during its annual Black is Business Week program. Applications are available in the fall. Call Dr. Saunders for details: (202) 806-1533.
- NASDAQ/SDSU International Student Business Plan Competition sponsored by San Diego State University, Entrepreneurial Management Center. Open to faculty-sponsored full and part-time graduate and/or undergraduate students currently enrolled. (619) 594-2781.

Two powerful storms have pummeled Mexico as they converged from the Pacific and the Gulf, killing at least 41 people and forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands amid some of the worst flooding in decades.
Tropical Depression Ingrid battered Mexico's northern Gulf coast, while the remnants of Tropical Storm Manuel lashed the Pacific coast, inundating the popular beach resort of Acapulco, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Monday.
Even as they weakened, the storms continued to unleash massive rains that have killed more than three dozen people in the states of Veracruz, Guerrero, Puebla, Hidalgo, Michoacan and Oaxaca, national emergency services said.
In the popular Pacific resort of Acapulco alone, at least 21 people were killed as buildings collapsed and roads were transformed into raging rivers, said Constantino Gonzalez, an official with Guerrero state emergency services.
"Unfortunately, the majority of the deaths have occurred here in Acapulco due to landslides that completely buried homes," said Gonzalez.
Officials said thousands of tourists were stranded due to canceled flights and closed highways.
State oil monopoly Pemex said it had evacuated three oil platforms and halted drilling at some wells on land due to the storms.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, who led Mexican independence day celebrations in Mexico City on Monday, was set to inspect storm damage in Guerrero state.
"The storms have affected two-thirds of the entire national territory," the interior minister, Miguel Osorio Chong, said at a news conference in Mexico City.
Flash floods
Chong called the flooding "historic" and said the city of Acapulco had sustained major damage. The resort's international airport remained closed due to power failure, as were two major highways, in the wake of Manuel.
In Veracruz state, along Mexico's Gulf coast, 12 people died on Monday after their bus and two nearby homes were buried by a mountain landslide near the town of Xaltepec, Governor Javier Duarte told reporters.
Across the state, 23,000 people were evacuated from their homes and 9,000 remained in emergency shelters, according to a post on Duarte's Twitter account.
Public school classes in Veracruz were canceled for Tuesday.
Ingrid, which weakened from a hurricane earlier on Monday, prompted Pemex to evacuate three platforms at its offshore Arenque field, operated by British oil services firm Petrofac, and close 24 wells in its onshore Ebano-Panuco field, a company official said.
Ingrid maintained maximum winds of 55kph and was expected to further weaken as it moved overland. The tropical depression continued to dump heavy rains as it churned 9kph toward the west.
The NHC said isolated areas could see as much as 25 inches of rain, particularly in mountainous terrain, resulting in additional life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.
The Mexican government had discontinued all coastal warnings and watches by Monday afternoon.

SquashTalk > News > Texas Open
Seeds All Advance in Houston Opener
May 23, 2008, By Howard Harding to SquashTalk.com , Independent News; © 2008 SquashTalk LLC
Natalie and Shelley Advance in Texas Openers [THE DRAW]
Top Seeds Natalie Grainger and Shelley Kitchen advanced in first round action at Houston, Texas, which saw all of the top seeded players win.
Qualifiers Georgina Stoker and Karen Kronemeyer put forth stiff competition for Dominique Lloyd-Walter and Laura Lengthorn-Massaro, respectively, but both eventually fell short.
Alana Miller of Canada advanced to the main draw, though the first game of her contest with Heba El Torky was very closely contested. El Torky had a large lead and a game ball at 8-5 before losing 6 straight points. In the second and third games the more experienced Miller volleyed more and didn't allow El Torky to get into her rhythm.
Dutchwoman Karen Kronement also faced a testing first game againt Laura Mylottte, as she had to recover from 4-7 down. Wonderful racquet from Kronenmeyer dominated the second game and she brought it up even further in the third as Mylotte pushed her with some very long and intricate rallies.
Georgina Stoker's win over Canadian Tara Mullins was the best match of the tournament up to that point and was much closer than the score indicates. Stoker retrieved beautifully and responded to all of Mullin's shot making.
Joelle King of New Zealand dominated her match against part-time pro player Runa Reta, outdoing the intrepid Canadian with hard hitting.

I visited Vision Express for the first time in Guildford for an eye test and some glasses on recommendation by a friend. On reception a young lady named Elizabeth was very friendly and helpful. While waiting for my test there was comfortable seating with water, tea or coffee to drink. My test was carried out in a very caring manner by a gentleman named Has. Elizabeth then helped me find a very affordable pair of glasses. They then very kindly straightened the bent arm on my existing glasses so I could still use them. Customer Service - very good.
My teenage son wanted contact lenses. Thanks to the extreme patience and good humour from Stuart, he now has contact lenses. I cannot praise Stuart enough for his role in this. All the staff I have come into contact at this branch are brilliant, courteous, polite and professional. Good work
On the day I booked my mum's check-up appointment, I asked if I could make one around the same time for myself - I normally use my local branch - as it would make life easier. JAY was so polite, kind and helpful; and then on the day I had to ring (mum had overslept causing us to be running late) and JAY was again helpful and calming. When we arrived only a few minutes late, we were treated kindly by other staff too. I would also like to thank, JONATHAN, the store manager, who gave us an excellent service, despite his managerial demands remained calm and caring.
Received some of the best customer service from any retailer I have ever been to today in the Guildford branch. The assistants Ben and Beth were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, especially when I was purchasing my first ever pair of prescription glasses. Will be a future shopper for years to come. Please give these two and the store manager my highest praises.
I was very disappointed when leaving Vision Express in Guildford today, as I was unable to share my thanks and appreciation to the Store Manager regarding the fantastic service that my two daughters received. Helena was brilliant with my 9 year old and it was the best eye test we had ever had. What could have ended up with me being stressed and my 16 year old storming out of the store with no glasses, turned out to be a truly stress- free experience! This was purely down to Ladan's wonderful approach and honest opinions. The service all round was outstanding and I am going to request that Ladan can help my husband find a new pair of glasses! Thank you all once again, I am a very delighted mum!
May I commend you on your selection of staff, staff training or finding an exceptional employee. I recently fancied some new glasses so popped in to your store when passing. Having found some I thought I liked, I arranged to meet my better half in your store the next day for her input. In trying lots of glasses on and short listing them, a member of your staff, (David) came to our assistance. In seeking his opinion he candidly stated he thought neither suited and then immediately produced a couple of pairs we both agreed were leagues better; the comedy of this was when we asked which best suited I expected a lame "They both look good", rather than the help David provided us. So, long and short, I planned to spend less than £300, ended up spending over £500 and am delighted! Please do congratulate yourselves and David on outstanding salesmanship and another really satisfied customer.
I last had my eyes tested in 2008. As a newly(ish) diagnosed diabetic with some background retinopathy I felt I should get an eye test. I went to Vision Express in Guildford, as my wife and daughter have always had good service there. I just wanted everyone to know what very good service I felt I had - from those at reception to those selling the glasses. In particular I wanted to praise the optician, Helena Hewes, who was absolutely excellent. She was patient, informative, answered my queries (particularly around diabetes) and very, very helpful. I think these days we expect and demand good service wherever we go but often even good service just feels OK. I felt as though I was treated very well today and that the service was above and beyond. I think success should be celebrated and the Guildford store and staff certainly deserve that.
I visited the Guildford branch 18/1/14 having been a Vision Express client for 10 years in other parts of the country. The Guildford team were professional, highly knowledgeable, courteous, attentive and overall the experience was excellent. If only other high street companies could retain such excellent staff. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone needing and eye examination and "specs".
Two weeks ago my wife suffered visibility problems. The problems included seeing a half moon shape. This concerned her as this was similar to problems she encountered a few years ago when her retina detached. We immediatly made an appointment with your branch at 51 High Street, GUILDFORD. The next day she was examined by Callum Wogan at this branch.
Mr Wogan proved to be very careful and thorough. He explained each stage of her examinination. He completely reassured her that nothing serious was going on.
The next morning I recieved a letter stating that my eye test was due. After a couple of days I went to the branch and saw Mr Wogan. Again he was very thorough and careful. After the eaxamination he informed that all was in order no deterioration in my prescription. I thanked him and was about to leave, he offered to get someone to look at the setting of my glasses. He introduced me to an Iranian lady, who looked at my glasses took them away and after a few minutes she returned. She had readjusted the glasses and fitted new pads. The net result is that my glasses now sit properly on my nose and are now more comfortable.
Your staff at the Guildford showroom really are kind, attentive and professional. I have mentioned this experiance to at least two other people.
Please pass our appreciation and thanks to your staff.
I am here to give my feedback on such a great experience at Vision Express, Guildford, Surrey. I was very warmly and professionally received by your colleague Helena Hewes on 12.11.2013. I was there in response to one of your letter offering me free eye test. My eye test was due anyway so thought it was about time to go and get it checked. I am your loyal customer as well since 2002. I called Guildford branch and appointment was booked very efficiently for the given date.
I lost my letter at eleventh hour and was nervous and embarrassed standing at the reception. I must say that Helena Hewes was thoroughly very helpful, friendly and professional. She very efficiently found me on the system and guided me to eyesight checkup area. I was immensely impressed the way she performed the whole test. I was given full attention and care with no sign of rush or brush off or lip service. I asked many questions and she answered all of them with perfect explanation and to my full satisfaction. Her body language, gestures and postures, style, tone, language and approach made me feel so impressed that I was overwhelmingly tearful when I left for having such a great service which these days I don't find.
I am one of those who generally do not give feedback easily as nothing to feed back out in shops these days but I can put my hand on my heart and say Helena Hewes deserve every bit of appreciation. She is indeed an asset of Vision Express worth looking after. Simply a great person with a great service. May I request you to please communicate my feedback to her and her top management of the company so to encourage a great person and spread a fabulous example of customer services.
I attended your Guildford branch surgery last Tuesday 11th June 2013 for a review of my prescribed lenses some two months previous,
and was kindly seen by Mrs Helena Hewes.
I wish to convey my sincere thanks to Mrs Helena Hewes in particular for her kindly, professional and utmost confidence she demonstrated in my particular situation resulting in an urgent hospital appointment on the same day thanks to her own initiatives.
Above all I received a pleasant phone call personally from Mrs Hewes on the following day to see how I got on and offering continuing service.
Excellent customer service. The company must be proud to have you on their team.
Many thanks again.
After visiting a well known optician inquiring about a repair to a pair of spectacles, which they could not do, suggested I go to your company. I would add that this company were my choice of supplier, not anymore.
On entering you premises I was met by a young man who then referred me to another member of staff, who said that he could do a repair, not exact, but effective and no charge.
I would just like to applaud your staff for the way I was treated, performing a service that I have not witnessed in high street stores for a very long time.
Well done that young man, sorry I did not get his name, the date of my visit was 04/06 around 12.30hrs.
Many thanks
I'm a fifty five year old man, who'd never worn glasses before. I decided that I needed an eye test, so I went to Vision Express.
I was initially dreading the whole experience, but every member of staff that I came across couldn't have been more professional and friendly.
The eye test resulted in my needing Varifocal lenses. I chose Transitions signature lenses, that I'm very happy with.
The thing that I noticed most in my experience with Vision Express, Guildford, was how attentive and considerate every member of staff was towards me. Claire Wilson (Store Manager) is ultimately responsible for such high, staff standards, but I especially want to thank Manisha & Lina.
I would just like it noted that on Tuesday 30th April I was served by an assisant called Yvonne (I'm afraid I do not have her surname) in your Guildford branch and believe it to be probably the best customer service I have received in a long time. Yvonne was knowledgeable, personable, helpful and generally just a complete pleasure to deal with; she is an absolute credit to that store and your business. Whilst I have already advised the store manager of her excellent service, I thought it best to let you know as well so the message definitely gets across.
I have recently had two pairs of glasses made up for me at your Guildford store and would like to say how pleased I am with the service received.
The store manager (Claire) has gone out of her way to ensure I have the right prescription and that the glasses work for me.
Whilst the initial eye test was done elsewhere, Claire has made sure I have been cared for and a discrepancy taken care of.
Not only do I appreciate Claire's approach, it's safe to say that her team do her and Vision Express well. They are curteous, very customer focused and pleasant to be with.
If Vision Express have a system of acknowledging stores I'd like to put Guildford forward.
I work in training and development myself and am highly conscious of even the little things that others may miss, so feel qualified to comment.
Just a short note to say thank everyone at the Guildford branch for their help and advice this morning. The greeting, initial assessment, the eye test, and then the advice afterwards was exceptional. Something I thought would be tedious turned into a very pleasurable experience where I also learnt a lot about my eyes. Looking forward to getting my new smart specs!
My regular reading glasses were in for repair and my standard x2 spares were giving me eye strain and a headache. So suddenly I needed a cheap prescription pair made up in a hurry. I got to the Guildford store at 8.30 and thanks to very helpful service I had a new pair by 10am for £34! Brilliant service and no more headaches! Thanks.
The Guildford branch of Vision Express should, in my opinion, change its name to something along the lines of 'Vision As-long-as-it-takes'. I had, from the title, thought that the store was simply a pile-them-high-sell-them-cheap, one-stop glasses shop. I could not have been more wrong.
A few weeks ago I had cause to be concerned about my left eye, I needed a Sunday eye test and Vision Express had an optician appointment available - that was, quite simply, the only reason I went to the VE store. The optician who listened to my concerns and who tested my eyes, Navdeep, simply could not have been more thorough in his examination, or clearer with his explanations.
There indeed was a problem with my eye which needed follow up testing. I could have had the tests done there and then, on the Sunday but, because I had my car with me and, due to eye drops, wouldn't have been able to drive home, I chose to go back two days later.
The optician who put the pre-exam drops in my eyes, Helena, was also incredibly reassuring, clear in her explanations of what she was doing and why it was being done. Navdeep then performed the follow-up tests. I felt throughout my experience at VE that I was in absolutely the most professional of hands.
I had cause to make a follow up telephone query about my eyes. Navdeep was on a day off but called me back first thing the following morning and took time and care in answering my questions. Indeed time was taken at every step of my contact with Guildford VE. 'Express' it was not!
I simply cannot recommend highly enough the Guildford branch of VE. I simply could not have had better care. An especial thank you to Navdeep and Helena who did a brilliant job for which I am hugely appreciative and thank you also to Manisha who dispensed my glasses.
I am writing to pass on my thanks to the Guildford branch. in particular Clare the store manager, who provided me with a first class service.
Having damaged my sun glasses I was keen to replace them very quickly as I use them for driving and am going on holiday next week. I went to the Guildford store on Sunday and was approached by Clare who gained my confidence very quickly with her product knowledge and sincere and friendly service. I asked if I could get the glasses ASAP and although Clare made it clear she could not guarantee I would get them in time for my holiday she would do her best. And she did!!
I was able to collect my sun glasses in time for my holiday and once again I received excellent customer service. I will be returning to the store after my holiday to try some contact lenses, something I hadn't considered before.
I felt it important to find the time to share this positive feedback as it has really reinforced my trust and confidence in the Vision Express brand.
Store Manager
As Store Manager, it's my responsibility to ensure that every person receives the highest level of service and advice in store from all members of my team. I want all our customers to experience excellent service and be totally satisfied in the knowledge that they have been offered the best products and best value for their visual needs.
Passionate about your eye care

—Dr Sinclair Lough, Head of Psychology Services for Older People, Dorset PCT
"At a time when age equality is being promoted as a policy, this book provides a welcome antidote to dogma, communicating a positive psychology of ageing that is grounded equally in theory and practice. Social Role Valorization has found its champion in relation to ageing and older people in Elspeth Stirling, and may at last make its long-awaited contribution to this challenging area of human experience. Blended with insights from Cognitive Analytic Therapy and with illustrative case examples, this is a powerful, refreshing book that could change the way we see older people and ageing. Recommended for all those who work with older people."
— Bob Woods, Professor of Clinical Psychology of Older People, Bangor University, UK

Siemens Obtains Explosion-Proof Approvals for Sitrans Magnetic Flow Meters
Siemens has received explosion-proof approvals for its half-inch to 12-inch line of Sitrans magnetic flow meters. The company has added i FM Class 1 Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D and FM Class 1, Zone 1 AEx d (ia) ia/IIC/T3-T6 approvals to the Sitrans line.
For line sizes larger than 12 inches, Siemens now offers sensors and transmitters that carry the FM Class 1, Zone 1 AEx d e (ia) ia/IIC/T3-T6 approval.
The approvals are available for Siemens Mag 3100 Series # 7ME6310, Mag 3100 HT Series #7ME6320 and Mag 3100 P Series # 7ME6330 flow sensors. Siemens Sitrans FM magnetic flow meters (magmeters) have been designed to measure the flow of almost any electrically conductive liquid, as well as sludges, pastes and slurries. Measurable mediums must have a certain minimum conductivity. The temperature, pressure, viscosity and density have little influence on the result.
Siemens Sitrans FM magnetic flow meters have been designed for flexibility at the operational level, easy commissioning, simple operation, maintenance and service, expandability and in-depth diagnostics. The new approvals are relevant to customers in the water/wastewater and chemical and industrial markets where magnetic flow meters are used potentially explosive environments.

The word 'motivation' shares its root with 'emotion': both come from the Latin motere, to move. Our motives give us our aims and the drive to achieve them. Anything that's motivating makes us feel good. As one scientist put it to me, "The way nature gets us to do what it wants is by making it a pleasure."
Our motives dictate where we find our pleasures. But when it comes to pursuing those goals, life so often presents difficulties. And when we face setbacks and obstacles in reaching the goals our motives drive us toward, circuitry converging on a zone in the left prefrontal cortex comes alive to remind us of the good feelings we will have once we reach that goal. When things go wrong, this helps us keep going through tough times.
People whose emotional setpoint tips toward the left side tend to be more positive in their emotional outlook. But, neuroscientist Richard Davidson finds, they are susceptible to anger, mainly when a worthy goal gets thwarted. Then they get frustrated and irritated—which is good, because it mobilizes their energy and focuses their attention in working to overcome the obstacles and achieve that goal.

Dear Editor:
The Jan. 31 Chronicle report concerning a presentation by Sterling Equities, Inc. and Related Companies — firms designated by Mayor Bloomberg as developers of Willets Point and Willets West — to the Queens Housing Coalition ("Plan for Willets Point housing is last step") gives a false impression that business owner Marco Neira and I were among the attendees who "made passionate speeches about the need for affordable housing instead of a mall." We made no such speeches.
Rather, Mr. Neira asked: What will happen to the hundreds of skilled mechanical workers who are employed by Willets Point businesses and will be displaced by the Sterling/Related plan, and what will happen to their dependents? What about the group relocation of businesses? Sterling/Related had nothing to say about any of that.
As for me — a healthy, 80-year-old resident of Willets Point who was also born there — I stated that I am proof that even an entire lifetime at Willets Point is not the slightest bit hazardous, contrary to the developers' totally bogus claims about the area. Furthermore, I emphasized that the substantial, growing opposition to Sterling/Related's proposed development, which would sacrifice 30-plus acres of public parkland, now includes the Queens Civic Congress, which represents more than 100 civic associations throughout the borough.
I respect the goals of the Queens Housing Coalition. However, it should be noted that Sterling/Related are the same developers who, when they responded to the city's 2011 Willets Point Request for Proposals, submitted a plan that called for no housing whatsoever, that deliberately minimized the remediation of property to the greatest extent possible, and instead sought to construct a 450,000-square-foot casino using parkland beyond the bounds of Willets Point. For Sterling/Related now to pass themselves off as champions of affordable housing at Willets Point is simply incredible.
And even if Sterling/Related wanted to build housing sooner than 2025, they can't, because any housing requires new Van Wyck access ramps as a prerequisite. The membership of Willets Point United Inc. and I are well aware that there is a six-year statute of limitations to file a lawsuit to challenge and prevent those ramps. We are confident that when the communities surrounding Willets Point comprehend the extraordinary traffic and other severe quality-of-life reductions that the proposed project will cause, the opposition — an end-of-term legacy project of the outgoing mayor — will continue to increase.

Done anything wild with your hotel points recently?
Hotel point redemption has been jumping lately, due to the lousy economy. People still want to travel - maybe get away with friends or take family on a great vacation - yet do so on a budget.
Readers: That trend's got me wondering: What's the highest number of hotel points you've ever blown recently?
Did you blow half your points on a week at a 5-star in Bali? A Home Depot gift certificate for your unemployed brother? A wild experience like sky diving to celebrate a big birthday?
Tell me by writing a comment on this post, or visit the Forum where I created a discussion. Would love some good replies by Tuesday for an upcoming blog post. In your reply, include your hotel company, the number of points redeemed and for what, the timeframe and what drove your decision.

The Coolest Beauty Looks From Fashion Week
From painted-on eyelashes to bright blue lips, the creativity backstage at New York Fashion Week was in full force. Here are the top five hair and makeup trends that caught our eye.
By Kelli Acciardo
Erickson Beamon
Hello, prom inspiration! Erickson Beamon always turns out the best hair and makeup when it comes to Fashion Week (Check out this crazy eye from last season!), and this presentation was no different. A seriously smoky eye with hints of white in the center, which smudge out to grey in the outer corners, is super easy to achieve. All you need is a shimmery ice-colored shadow, a graphite shadow, and a greasy (aka glideable) black eyeliner. Apply the graphite shade all over your lid, fading it out when you get to the crease. Next, take your liner and line your top and bottom lashes, then smudge with a cotton swab so its extra thick. Finally, dab your finger into a creamy white shadow and lightly dot the center of your lids, blending as you go. Plus, dont forget to take note of this major hair accessory! Bejeweled headbands are the new tiaras.

Diseases on the Front
The concept involves throwing these (gently) to passers-by on college campuses and yelling, "YOU JUST CAUGHT CHLAMYDIA!"; letting the subject know catching an STD is as easy as catching a Frisbee.
Help on the Back
The back would be printed with contact information either to research the disease on a Planned Parenthood type website or contacting the local Wellness Center.

My vision for this section of the site is of a resource where folks can go to find information about the more interesting natural areas in the United States. Not necessary the most popular or the best known, though many of those are inherently interesting. Rather, I want to focus on the little-known jewels - places that locals may know about, but few others.
Alas, I have other things to do besides wander around the country investigating interesting natural areas. It's a sad fact, but true.
Perhaps as a result, this section of the Eco-USA site is woefully incomplete and falls well short of my vision for it. My hope is that by dropping other, less interesting parts of the site I can free up time to get away from the current link farm approach and bring the Places section up to an acceptable standard.
Failing that, I'll delete it and concentrate on other things.
