Your question was published, help is on its way!
Oven in Jenn-Air range stopped working with no error codes.
Report This
Last night I was going to bake something but when I tried to turn on my oven I got no response from key presses on the keypad. This is on a Jenn-Air JGS8850BDS gas slide-in range. The stove worked fine and the clock displayed like normal. No response from the "Bake", "Broil", "Setup", etc keys. Unplugged the range for about 5 minutes. When I plugged it back in I got a brief run of a fan (conv or cooling?) and the clock shows 12:00 and beneath that "Power Loss". The only keys on the keypad that seem to do anything are 1-6 keys. When these are pressed I get a double beep (and Power Loss goes away with the first of these keys). Other keys do nothing. No change in display and no beep.
I suspect it is the main board, but I guess it could be the keypad. Any advice on how to trouble-shoot this? Is there any source of technical information for the keypad, such as pin-outs for the ribbon cable to the main board?

Feeding Woes
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 11-04-2010 - 11:00pm
So, most of you know that we've had a rough start to BF'ing because Evan was in the hospital for the first week. He was able to latch on fairly well, but didn't really have the sucking thing down.
After emailing with a LLL consultant and talking to a few people, we started doing this thing where we'd feed him a bit from a bottle to take the edge off, then try him on the breast for at least 10 minutes (more if he was doing well), and then top him up with the bottle at the end (because he would tire himself out on the breast). That process would work about 2 times a day, but the rest of the time he would just take a bottle.
This process has been incredibly frustrating for me. If I'm not totally stressing out about him feeding (or not feeding) at the breast, then I'm attached to the pump trying to get as much milk out as I can. Because I'm attached to the pump all the time, DH gets to feed him the majority of the time (otherwise I'd be up 24/7 with feeding/changing/pumping/trying to BF) - so I feel like I'm missing out on some serious quality/bonding time with Evan.
I've had multiple break downs over it - over the fact that I can't seem to make progress with BF'ing, or that I'm attached to the pump, or that DH is a WAY better parent than I am and is making a stronger bond with our son.
Now it looks like I have mastitis in my right breast - the breast that produced more milk. Well, now my supply seems to be dwindling and I can't even pump enough for one feed! I just feel like everything is stacking against me when it comes to BF'ing and being able to give my son the nutrition he needs.
All the time in the back of my mind I've been thinking that life would just be easier if we went to formula. I wouldn't be a total stress case like I am now. I wouldn't be having multiple break downs a day. I wouldn't get so frustrated with my 2-week-old baby for not being able to BF properly. But, then the immense guilt comes in. I just can't face the judgement (from myself and others) for "giving up" on BF'ing - something that's supposed to be the most natural thing in the world and what is the BEST thing for baby. There is so much pressure to get BF'ing working. Everytime I even mention having issues, everyone says how it will all be worth it when it starts to work, and there's nothing more wonderful than BF'ing, etc. etc..
Anyway, sorry for the huge vent. I think I just needed to get it out. At this point I'm at my wits end and really don't know what to do. All I keep thinking is that if I don't get BF'ing down (or at least able to give him pumped breast milk), then I am a failure. Kudos to anyone who made it this far!

"All I keep thinking is that if I don't get BF'ing down (or at least able to give him pumped breast milk), then I am a failure."
Oh :( BIG HUGS Alyssa.
|Fri, 11-05-2010 - 2:40am
No matter what you choose you are a great mother!!!
I think a lot of us post that it gets better because for most of us the start was rocky- I can't remember how many times I wanted to quit and switch to formula but after a few weeks it really got better, and became enjoyable. Now that I use both formula and bfing I also have to say that formula has its own challenges which comes with it- and the first weeks of having a baby are stressful no matter how you feed them.
I think since Evan was early you'll find that a lot changes in the coming weeks- him getting tired out drinking for example. Pretty soon he'll want to hang out on your breast 24/7:)
One thing you might want to consider is doing formula for some bottles so that you get a break from pumping. I would focus just on having Evan on the breast as much as possible so he gets lots and lots of practice to get better.You mention at least 10 minutes if he is doing well- I would suggest 30-40 minutes or however long he wants to hang out there even if he is barely sucking. This time on the breast is really what gets everything working IMHO and even though at the time it can be hard to really know if things are improving, I found it made a big big difference for Theo and I.
|Fri, 11-05-2010 - 11:04am
Oh, Alyssa! (((((Hugs)))))
I've been there, and I know it sucks. I don't know how many times I cried that I was a failure. And Peter got some formula. Not much, but some. After the first couple weeks, I quit even offering him the breast until he was a month old. It helped to not stress us out so much. The issue with pumping is that you can then obsess over how much he's getting/not getting (we had weight issues).
Don't worry about nipple confusion. That was what stressed me out so much. Bottles were totally going to ruin everything. Instead, Peter decided he didn't really like bottles and pacifers once we got everything to work out.
As for pumping, try fenugreek and blessed thistle (three pills each, three times a day). I've stopped taking it, but am about to resume since I don't respond well to the pump.
And if formula would work out better for you, do it. It's not going to hurt Evan. You've worked your butt off to get it to work. There's also nothing wrong with bfing/pumping during the day, formula at night if you need to.
You aren't a failure! You're just facing challenges that a lot of women don't have to face. Some of our babies just struggle with breastfeeding for whatever reason. As my LC told me: It's not you. Don't put all the blame on yourself (I know I did). Sometimes things just don't work out the way they're "supposed" to.
Please email me if you need to talk. Like I said, I've been there. There's nothing worse than fighting to feed and crying while you do it. ((Hugs))
|Fri, 11-05-2010 - 11:59am
I wont offer any more advice that you already have gotten from other threads, this thread and the LLL...everybody.
|Fri, 11-05-2010 - 2:30pm
."Everytime I even mention having issues, everyone says how it will all be worth it when it starts to work, and there's nothing more wonderful than BF'ing, etc. etc.."
First off HUGS!!! I am sorry you guys are going through this. Secondly whoever said that breastfeeding was natural and wonderful is crazy. While I enjoy it now, those first weeks SUCKED!! They were awful. There is nothing natural about breastfeeding (I haven't read others). For me it was horrible, i was in H-E-L-L for about 3 or 4 weeks. I had a little one that wouldn't latch because my nipples were so flat from having too much milk. She would choke and gag on my milk because it would come out so fast. So while I am having a different problem I feel your pain.
You are not a failure, just the fact that you went to the LLL to try to breast feeding rather then just giving up right away says to me that you aren't a failure. I think you and your DH need to decide what's best for you. I know that for me I wanted to quit right around 2 weeks and DH pressed me to keep going and when I got to the 4 or 5 week mark it got better - but again my issues were different than yours. You just have to do what you need to do. Know that if you switch to formula he will be fine. Maybe talk to another person at the LLL or your doc or his peditrician.
Good Luck and whatever you decide to do we are here to support you. HUGS!
|Fri, 11-05-2010 - 7:24pm
So, I'm really going to try and keep the focus on him getting food and getting stronger and bigger --- and not focus on what route the breast milk is coming from right now. I will keep trying him on the breast at least a couple times a day just to make sure he stays used to it, but it's just not going to be a priority right now. Hopefully this will help with my stress/frustration levels too.
Oh, and the midwife doesn't think I have mastitis, even though the LC I saw yesterday thought I did. The MW thinks it's a blocked duct instead. I agree with her because I haven't felt very flu-like nor have I had a fever or any other symptoms of mastitis besides a hard lump.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone - I really appreciate the support.
|Sat, 11-06-2010 - 3:49am
|Mon, 11-08-2010 - 1:32pm
Alyssa - I am so glad you were able to talk with your MW and feel better about it! That's great!! Glad it's not mastitis too. I know after I got a long time without pumping and/or feeding that I have some ducts are hurt - this morning was awful because we had such a rough day yesterday and she wouldn't breast feed, nor did I have time to pump....never going to bed full again ever ;)
Anyway I am so glad!

LOS ANGELES – Three months ago, Anthony Barr played in his first game as a linebacker. On Saturday, he was fielding questions about being a possible first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
It has been that kind of season for the UCLA defensive standout.
After ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper listed Barr on his "Big Board" in its last update, Barr's stock seemed to gain momentum, as teams continue to dream of his potential as a pass rushing linebacker.
The junior was a running back last season before converting in the offseason, a change that resulted in Barr leading the nation in sacks. In the blink of an eye, Barr became one of the Pac-12's top defensive players.
"It was three months ago, everyone was asking me how my first game was," Barr said. "Now we're here. It's pretty crazy."
UCLA coach Jim Mora approached Barr before practice Saturday to suggest a discussion on his potential draft decision, a conversation Barr plans to have in the next few days. Soon enough, Barr should get his grade from the NFL, a step he said will definitely factor into his decision. He admitted the "first round would be nice."
For now though, Barr said that his gut reaction was to stay in Westwood for another season.
"The grade is the next step," Barr said. "That's probably going to tilt me one way or another. If I had to choose today, I'd probably stay."
Although he hadn't talked to Mora yet, Barr has had conversations with his assistant coaches. Many of whom, like Mora, have NFL experience. Those discussions definitely have helped with the process, Barr said.
"They want me to do what's best for me and myself," Barr said. "Either way, they'll support my decision. ... If I do come back and try to help this team next year, I'll further develop myself. And that's a big thing: development. That's kind of what they're saying. It's not a yes or no or go or stay type thing."
Said Mora: "I'd like him to come back, but once again, we'd like him to do what's best for him. I haven't seen anyone do what he's done. I hope all our guys come back because this is a special team that we're creating."
But with a long way to go until players must declare for the draft — the deadline is in mid-January — a great deal could change in those plans.
Mora has spoken with a handful of UCLA's other potential draftees, hoping to ensure them he can be of great help during the NFL draft process, given his wealth of NFL experience.
"We'll be very involved for helping them prepare for the All-Star games, prepare for the combines, prepare for the workouts," Mora said. "I think the fact that our staff ... has vast experience doing that, it's an advantage for these kids. ...

Greatest of These is Love
By Steve Carey
Nestled among the stately pines and oak trees on the University of Mobile campus is one of Alabama's unique educational experiences – the Albert S. Dix Outdoor Rock and Mineral Museum.
About 60 rock and mineral specimens, part of a large collection of rocks and minerals donated to the university in 1982 by the late Mobile physician, rock collector and lapidarist Albert S. Dix, occupy a three acre site near the university's rustic Dwight Harrigan Forest Learning Center. Originally established in the area between Ram Hall and Ingram Hall near the current location of the metal cross-and-vine sculpture "I Am the Vine," the museum was relocated rock by rock to its current location and reopened to the public in 1987.
Transporting a lifetime of collecting rocks and minerals from Dr. Dix's home to the university (then Mobile College) was no easy task, and it took the combined efforts of the college's staff, science students and members of the campus club football team to get the job done. It took years of planning between Dr. Dix, the Department of Natural Sciences and public school officials to make the museum a reality.
In the early years, science professor Dr. Thomas Bilbo had the responsibility of establishing and maintaining the outdoor museum. Many were the days one could see Dr. Bilbo, equipped with only a shovel and a wheelbarrow, moving specimens into position or improving museum trails. On good days, a few student "volunteers" were recruited to assist in the project. Much thanks must go out to Dr. Bilbo, now retired, and all the others whom, despite variegates in the weather, yellow jackets, briars and weeds, worked hard to make the original Albert S. Dix museum a reality.
After the museum was moved to its current location, oversight of the museum fell to me and the Natural Sciences Department. At this time the museum was expanded both in area and numbers of specimens on display. Jackie Brown, then a teacher at Clarke Middle School (now Clarke-Shaw Middle School), was instrumental in developing interpretive information and establishing the initial layout of the museum.
Today, a winding, self-guided pathway leads museum visitors past common and not-so-common rocks and minerals including a boulder-sized specimen of corundum weighing over 900 pounds. Examples of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are on display as are important ore-bearing minerals and those used in the jewelry arts. Ore-bearing minerals on exhibit include hematite (iron), sphalerite (zinc), chalcopyrite (copper), bauxite (aluminum), and galena (lead).
One of the more unusual rocks on display is unakite, a semiprecious stone composed of pink, green, and colorless minerals that takes a good polish and is used to create jewelry, polished spheres and carvings.
Museum visitors can see large specimens of petrified wood and numerous examples of rocks and minerals that have played an important role in the development of Alabama's mining and manufacturing industries, both past and present.
The museum serves as an outdoor classroom for UMobile students taking courses in earth science, many of whom are majoring in teacher education. Students gain hands-on experience creating new interpretive materials including trail guides, interpretive kiosks and self-quiz stations. Biology students
are also involved in identifying and labeling the trees and shrubs within the outdoor rock and mineral museum as part of establishing a campus arboretum.
The museum also serves elementary and secondary private and public school students from Mobile and surrounding counties studying rocks and minerals, geology and environmental stewardship.
Complementing the outdoor mineral display is a collection of fossils, semiprecious minerals, gems and crystals housed within the Harrigan Center building. Special exhibits within the Harrigan Center include dinosaur bones and skin impressions, a collection of Alabama petrified wood and fossils and a display dedicated to the rocks and minerals of the Bible. Visitors to the outdoor museum are welcome to view the exhibits inside the Harrigan Center which are housed in lighted display cabinets just inside the building's main entrance.
Dr. Dix recognized the need for teachers at all levels to have examples of rocks and minerals in their classrooms for student study. To make Dr. Dix's dream a reality, the UMobile Natural Sciences Department has prepared and donated collections of rocks and minerals to earth science teachers in Mobile, Baldwin and Washington counties. Additionally, UMobile faculty members have conducted workshops for earth science teachers and made rocks and minerals available for study by students preparing to enter earth science competitions such as the National Science Olympiad's Rocks and Minerals event.
Plans for future additions to the outdoor museum include construction of a formal entryway and placement of educational kiosks highlighting important mineral uses, the role of minerals in Alabama's economic development, and how minerals impact our daily lives. A picnic area and pavilion are planned for those wishing to take full advantage of the museum's attractive outdoor setting.
The Albert S. Dix Outdoor Rock and Mineral Museum is indebted to The Mobile Rock & Gem Society that has contributed much monetary and volunteer support, but more is needed to realize the museum's full potential. Construction materials including lumber, nails and screws are needed to construct the entryway, kiosks and pavilion. Monetary donations will help purchase new signs and brochures. Landscaping plants such as azaleas and camellias are needed. Persons or organizations interested in donating to the museum should contact the Development Office at 251.442.2497 or give online at https://giving.umobile.edu.
The Albert S. Dix Outdoor Rock and Mineral Museum and the indoor display in the Harrigan Center comprise one of the largest rock and mineral displays in south Alabama. Both collections are designed to accommodate the needs of school groups, nature enthusiasts and individuals having an interest in geology and earth science.
The museum is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday when the university is in session. Admission is free. Car and bus parking is next to the museum.

Head of Student Recruitment
Work experience helps you make decisions about what kind of career you want. It's also a fantastic way of demonstrating the skills you already have, and of developing new skills in areas you haven't had experience of at school or university.
If an internship goes well, which it does for 90 - 95 per cent of the students who come to PwC, you're likely to be offered a graduate role. So you could start your third year of university with a job waiting for you when you finish your degree.
For the first time this year, one aspect of our Partner Shadowing programme will be focused on offering students the opportunity to shadow a female leader. We want to emphasise that women can have fantastically successful careers with us, and to encourage more women to choose to work in professional services.
Another new addition for this year is to give business placement students the option to spend their year in our HR department in areas such as Student Recruitment, Global Mobility, and Learning and Development, as we're keen to bring some talented graduates into our HR team in this way.
Firstly, be confident. We're not trying to trip you up when we ask you questions on an application form or in an interview, but to give you the best opportunity to demonstrate what you have to offer us. Don't get intimidated by the size of PwC, or media reports about how many applications there are for every job. Just give us the best account of yourself you can.
Secondly, think about what you've done in the context of the skills we're looking for. You can find out what these skills are on our website. We're looking for good practical examples of when you've demonstrated that you have these skills - the application process is simply a platform for you to tell us about what you've done and to provide these examples.
Thirdly, you also need to assess where your strengths and weaknesses are - there are some tools on our website to help you do so. In particular, you need to be honest with us about what your weak areas are - when we ask you about them, don't come up with something that's actually a strength. We're looking for people who will really focus on developing themselves once they're here. The first step in proving that you're one of these people is to acknowledge that you're not good at everything, because no-one is, especially at an early stage of their career. The second stage is to show us what you're doing to address your weaknesses. Doing these things strengthens your application because it shows you're self-aware, motivated, and that you're able to take responsibility for your own career.
First years on the Insight Academy programme will be at an early stage of thinking about their career, but if you're doing a summer internship, we want to see that you're reasonably sure that professional services is the right career path for you, and that you're determined to make sure you get the exposure you need to make a decision by the end of your internship.
With any programme, we want to see that you're motivated, and trying to make the most of the experience. You should be proactive, seeking out networks, and looking for opportunities, rather than waiting for them to come to you. That doesn't mean that you have to do everything yourself - it means that you should fully use the resources we make available to you, ask questions, and ask for help if you need it. You should also aim to use your programme to demonstrate and develop your skills. If you do an internship or business placement with us you'll have a manager who'll help you set and work towards some skills objectives.
You can also demonstrate and develop some of the skills you can learn through formal work experience in other ways, for example, by working at a restaurant or a supermarket, or by volunteering for a charity. You can also acquire and develop these skills at university through getting involved in clubs and societies, or in sport.
Starting your job search early on in your time at university isn't for everyone. But I think that all students should consider carefully how and when they're going to approach this process. Doing work experience while you're at university will bring you many benefits and is likely to help you secure a graduate role.
Insight Academy
This programme lasts for three days and is designed to get you thinking about making some career decisions, and to tell you about the kind of opportunities PwC can offer. You'll have the chance to develop your skills by taking part in a wide range of activities and, if successful, you could get offered a place on the internship programme for the following summer.
This six-week summer programme starts with focused and in-depth training to equip you for the rest of your time at PwC, during which you'll get involved in real work for clients by working alongside specialists in your chosen business area. If your internship goes well, you could be offered a graduate job at the end of it.
Business Placement
If you're studying for a four-year degree and have a sandwich element to your course, you could spend six or eleven months working in a real role at PwC. You can study for the early parts of a professional qualification during this time and, if your placement goes successfully, come back to PwC after you've finished your degree at a higher level than other graduate joiners.
If you've focused your time at university on getting an outstanding degree rather than looking for a graduate role, this scheme could be for you. The internship offers six months work experience at PwC immediately after graduation. If your internship goes well, you could be offered a graduate place at PwC for the following autumn.
Partner Shadowing
On this scheme you'll spend a week with one of PwC's senior leaders and get some excellent exposure to the firm's work and the opportunities available in professional services.
Insight Day
On this scheme you'll spend a day in one of PwC's offices finding out about what the firm does and the career paths available to you at PwC.
Joined September 2011
I studied Economics at LSE, and attended the PwC Insight Academy programme in the summer of my first year. The Insight Academy is a three-day programme where you learn about the firm and the potential career opportunities available for graduates. It's great for first years who haven't yet decided on their career path as it opens your eyes to options you might not have otherwise considered. People from different PwC offices come together and talk to you about their work and backgrounds, which helps you think about your own career. You also get to refine your business skills, for example, by doing presentations or team exercises, which will be useful when you start working, even if you don't end up joining PwC.
Everyone on the programme stays together in accommodation provided by PwC, and there are opportunities to socialise with other students on the programme - and also people from the firm. PwC organised drinks and dinners for us - and even karaoke! It helped me to start building a professional network - I got to know a lot of people who also ended up getting graduate positions at PwC.
Taking part in the Insight Academy programme led to my summer internship place for the following year. You're assessed for an internship place on the basis of the activities you do over the course of the whole programme. They get to know you properly, and you get to know the firm.
I was able to choose my office and the area of the business that I wanted to work in for my internship, and went for assurance in Uxbridge. First, you have a week of induction and training, where you learn what the firm does and get some training in the skills you'll need. Then you get put straight onto working with clients. I was assigned to teams auditing two big household name clients, and it was interesting to work with companies whose products I use, and to see their businesses inside out. I got to do the tasks that graduate joiners do and spoke to clients a lot, including senior people. I was offered a graduate place at the end of my internship, and it was great to not have to think about applying for jobs during my final year.
I'd advise first year students to go for any kind of work experience open to them because you'll learn so much. Don't just listen to what other people say about particular industries or roles, but also think about what you'd really like to do. In your second year, apply for internships in the areas in which you're interested. Once you're on an internship, work hard and try as many things as you can - and ask lots of questions.
I've joined the Uxbridge office on a permanent basis now that I've graduated, and it's good to be back. At the moment I'm working on an audit for a big multinational company. I really benefitted from the internship - it was useful to know about the work I'd be doing, and it meant I'd already started to build strong relationships here.
Joined September 2011
I work in assurance in PwC's Southampton office, so I spend most of my time out at clients' offices. We work with a wide spectrum of clients across the south coast in a range of industries from manufacturing to retail, and we also work with some entrepreneurs.
My route into PwC was an 11-month business placement at PwC between my second and third year of studying International Business at Loughborough University. I applied to spend the time with several different companies, but I particularly liked the structured nature of the PwC placement. I felt like I knew exactly what I would be doing, and that I'd be given responsibility and a real role, not just odd bits and pieces of work. I also liked the fact that I'd be able to start taking my accountancy exams. My interview confirmed to me that the role on offer at PwC was something I wanted to do, and I was also attracted to the firm by the people I met at this point, who were very welcoming.
I started my placement with the September graduate intake, and had exactly the same training and responsibilities as them. We had a few weeks of induction, went to college to sit our first set of exams, and then were sent out to client sites on audit teams. The best thing about my placement was the exposure I was given to clients - if you do work experience here you're not making coffee but gaining knowledge and experience that will set you up for the rest of your career. Having real responsibility was challenging at times, but I loved it. PwC offered me a graduate job about halfway through my placement, which was really encouraging and I felt settled knowing that my permanent position was secure.
Going back to university for my final year was relatively easy. As I'd been taking exams throughout my placement year, I'd never stepped out of studying mode. But I think my experience of working at PwC made me more responsible about my studies and better at meeting deadlines. Because of my year of experience at PwC, when I came back to the firm after finishing my degree I was able to do so at the level of a second year graduate.
My advice for students considering doing work experience is to go to careers fairs and talk to employees of the companies you're interested in. They'll be able to give you an honest portrayal of the available programmes, and you can ask them questions that you might not feel comfortable asking in an interview.
I think work experience is a great way to get to know a company better. You can read about what jobs are like, but that doesn't compare to actually experiencing them. If you do work experience at PwC you'll get to see what working life is like here and get to know people across the firm - and then, if you come back, it won't be as daunting as starting a graduate job could be because it'll be similar to what you've experienced already. I'm pleased to say that many students doing work experience at the same time as me at PwC have returned to the firm as graduates, which means that there's a network of people across the firm who I already know well.

Will 'The Interview' change how Hollywood does business?
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "The Interview" was never supposed to be a paradigm-shifting film.

Sony is in uncharted waters now with the film, which earned $1.04 million from 331 locations on Thursday, according to studio estimates, in addition to the untold VOD grosses. »Read Full Article
In 2014, theaters explored dark themes with hopeful stories
In Skylight Music Theatre's current production of "The Wizard of Oz," Susan Wiedmeyer plays a young girl from Depression-era Kansas who learns to dream in color, envisioning her world and the people within it in a new and more hopeful light.
In the beautiful In Tandem Theatre production this fall of "The Glass Menagerie," John Glowacki's older and more chastened narrator remembered that same Depression in next-door Missouri, where Tom Wingfield used the "tricks up his sleeve" to revise his difficult past, remaking history through art. »Read Full Article
An 'Earnest' list of Wisconsin's best theater in 2014
Here, ordered by preference, is my list of the best Wisconsin shows from 2014, bearing in mind the inherently subjective nature of any such exercise — and how many good productions, from the 200-plus I saw, could readily be included on any such list.
1. "The Importance of Being Earnest"/"Travesties": Directed by William Brown, these interrelated shows, using some of the same actors and designers, reminded us of art's vital role in upending the status quo — while showcasing the coruscating wit that can make it such a romp. Some of the best work I've seen at the reliably first-rate APT. »Read Full Article

Wisconsin-centric books include history of Pabst Farms, tales of drownings
I didn't want the year to end without taking note of these books with strong Wisconsin subject matter or connections — maybe one of these is just the thing for your holiday money or gift card.
"Pabst Farms: The History of a Model Farm" (Pabst Farms Inc.), by John C. Eastberg. In 1904, Fred Pabst Jr., the youngest son of beer baron Capt. Frederick Pabst, stepped aside from the family business to begin creating a model, or self-sustainable, farm in the Summit / Oconomowoc area, drawing on the latest scientific thinking about farming. Pabst Farms was first known for breeding Percheron and Hackney horses, but as automobiles ascended, Pabst's operation concentrated on Holstein cattle. John C. Eastberg, Pabst Mansion senior historian, offers a detailed history of the farm, with many excellent period photographs. (If you like looking at historical images of cows, Milwaukee, this is your book!) »Read Full Article

The year in art and architecture
I was running late to see some friends, hustling from the newsroom to The Foundation, a little bar in Riverwest. Traffic downtown was snarled. Headlights and brake lights stretched as far as the eye could see in pairs, like strings of holiday lights in red and white.
I fumbled for the news on my car radio and iPhone: Protesters were occupying the highway over the shooting death of Dontre Hamilton. One of my first thoughts: How many artists are there? Sure enough, there were familiar faces in the reports I saw later that night. »Read Full Article(1)
Trampled by Turtles returns to Riverside for New Year's Eve
Trampled by Turtles is going full circle Dec. 31, headlining its second consecutive New Year's Eve show at the Riverside Theater.
The 12 months between those shows saw some of the progressive bluegrass band's greatest accomplishments in its 11-year history. It established the inaugural Festival Palomino in Shakopee, Minn. — about 180 miles southwest of its home base in Duluth — with a lineup that included the Head and the Heart, Charles Bradley and Milwaukee-based Field Report. It headlined the Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver, a revered venue on countless musicians' bucket lists. And it released its latest album, the lush and lovely "Wild Animals," this summer, under the production of fellow Minnesotan Alan Sparhawk from the acclaimed indie rock band Low. »Read Full Article

'The Interview' packs theaters on Christmas Day
Critics and early viewers agree that "The Interview" is less than a masterpiece. But thanks to threats from hackers that nearly derailed its release, it has become an event.
Hundreds of theaters Thursday, from The Edge 8 in Greenville, Ala., to Michael Moore's Bijou by the Bay in Traverse City, Mich., made special holiday arrangements for the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Capacity crowds pack screenings of 'The Interview'
NEW YORK (AP) - Critics and early viewers agree that "The Interview" is less than a masterpiece. But thanks to threats from hackers that nearly derailed its release, it has become an event.

The eight top-grossing tours to hit Milwaukee in 2014
It was a big year for big concerts in Milwaukee, and if you need further proof beyond the impressive Summerfest lineup or the uptick in BMO Harris Bradley Center shows, just look at the year in review issue of Billboard.
Of the 25 top-grossing tours of 2014, eight made stops in Milwaukee. »Read Full Article
Streaming release of 'Interview' test for industry
ATLANTA (AP) - Sony's "The Interview" has been a hacking target, a punchline and a political lightning rod. Now, with its release online at the same time it debuts in theaters, it has a new role: a test for a new kind of movie release.
"The Interview" stars Seth Rogen and James Franco as journalists tasked by the CIA with killing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Its Christmas Day release was canceled by Sony after threats of violence by hackers linked to North Korea. But after an outcry, the release was reinstated in some independent theaters and now, through a few online video services. »Read Full Article
Nourri taps chef's flair for delicious, diverse small plates
I waited two years to eat food cooked by chef Christian Schroeder again. The modern small plates he's creating at Nourri on the west side are worth the wait.
Schroeder first got my attention when he was the chef for Von Trier's experiment in serving food in 2012. It was short-lived. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee's best new restaurants of 2014
A Spanish restaurant, a Nepali restaurant. Restaurants where diners can start their day, and a restaurant where diners can end it with a midnight snack — or an entire dinner.
Common to the best new restaurants of 2014 were a make-it-from-scratch ethos and a quest for top-notch ingredients, whether from near or far. Restaurants, positioning themselves as places for more than the occasional dinner, are enticing customers with amped-up drink selections, as well as just-a-bite plates to have with them. »Read Full Article(1)
Michael Gapinski's 'Christmas Eve'
Michael Gapinski doesn't like to talk much. He didn't speak, really, until he was about 4 years old.
"I always felt that whatever I had to say wasn't that important," he said, adding that he felt faint when the Journal Sentinel asked him to do a video interview. "Art — that's how I do it, that's how I talk." »Read Full Article(3)

Yesterday we all learned a valuable lesson about what happens when you address Steven A. Cohen as "Stevie" in the presence of his outside counsel, Martin Klotz, as evidenced by a recently unsealed deposition (you get one warning and then you end up in the trunk of a 1987 Cadillac Sedan De Ville, is what). Unfortunately, crucial dialogue between Klotz and Michael Bowe, the Fairfax Financial lawyer who was questioning Cohen, was cut off. And that part was just as important. You see, just because you can't call him Stevie, doesn't mean you can just call him anything you want, unless you're okay with getting Sonny Corleone'd the next time you drive through a toll plaza without EZ Pass.

SAC Capital Lawyer Martin Klotz Showed Enormous Restraint In Not Dealing With This Guy By Driving Him Out To The Pine BarrensBy Bess Levin
Quick story or not so much a story but a pet peeve I've never gotten off my chest: I hate when people use the nickname "Stevie" when referring to hedge fund manager Steve Cohen. It's like nails on a chalkboard when anyone says it but particularly when deployed by total strangers creating false intimacy with the guy, as though they're boys and/or they just finished sucking Cohen off. For her part, Mrs. Cohen is also said to be irked by the moniker, as she finds it childish. Having said all that, I've never taken someone to task for the offense* and, presumably, the Missus hasn't either or at least not in the spectacular form demonstrated by Cohen's lawyer. Earlier this year, the SAC Capital manger sat for two days of deposition, which was recently unsealed, as part of a lawsuit filed in 2006 by Canadian insurer Fairfax Financial against a group of hedge funds that included SAC. At one point, Fairfax's lawyer Michael Bowe addresses Cohen as "Stevie," and in response, Martin Klotz, the attorney representing Steve and SAC, goes absolutely ape shit. Read more »

Never Call James Gorman 'Jim,' Or The Real Reason Morgan Stanley's In The Toilet, According To Charlie GasparinoBy Bess Levin
For those of you who were unaware, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman has one hard and fast rule, which is simply this: he will cut a bitch who refers to or calls him anything other than James. As in no Jim, no Jimbo, no Big J, no Jimmy, no Uncle Jim, no Jimmy Crack Corn, no Jimmy Cakes, no J'may and no JP Gorman Chase. It's not just a pet peeve of his like, oh, 'I hate it when people call him Jim, really ticks me off,' it's a 'I will beat the ass of anyone– anyone– who calls me anything but James. Not kidding- I'll scratch their fucking eyes out.' This is well-known inside Morgan Stanley and as Ji–I mean James is so serious about it, his handlers go to great lengths to make sure anyone who interfaces with him from the outside is well-aware of what he wants to be called. One person who recently became acquainted with the rule? Charlie Gasparino, with whom it did not sit well.
I've been covering Wall Street now for two decades and never before have I been corrected by a CEOs' handlers about a first name as much as I have when it comes to Gorman, who took the top job at Morgan about a year ago, and is now struggling to recreate that bank in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, which it barely survived.
"Of course, Gorman should go by whatever name makes him feel comfortable," Chaz says but here's the thing– it makes Chaz highly uncomfortable, this not being allowed to call James Jim thing, not that there's anything wrong with that. What's more, this rule of Gorman's is isn't just about a name. Rather, Charlie actually posits, it's indicative of what's going to doom Morgan Stanley, and why CG fears James at the helm can only mean trouble. Read more »

John Carney Needs HelpBy Bess Levin
My dear friend and former colleague John Carney will be joining CNBC.com as a "senior editor" in the coming weeks and will also be "appearing regularly on CNBC's Business Day programming." Over the last few years John has been on the network as guest commentator but now that he's an official member of the team, one very important thing needs to happen. It goes without saying but here it is: a nickname. Maria's got one, Erin's got one, Phil LeBeau's got one and now Carney needs one too. If he's gonna do this, he's gotta do this right. I know what my pick is but let's get democratic about this. Serious suggestions only, please.
Fabrice Tourre Denies Fabulousness In Quest To Get LaidBy Bess Levin
Many of you have likely done things you should be embarrassed about in the name of getting laid. Given. For the most part, though, that embarrassment (and second hand embarrassment) remains contained to a relatively small group of people. Your friends, onlookers at the bar, cab drivers and so on and so forth. It's likely that tens of millions of people will never see the depths to which you've sunk to put your d in a v. Such is not the case for Fabrice Tourre, who in one of the many emails released by Senator Carl Levin (no relation) over the weekend, has him begging off the 'fabulous' title in a message to lady-friend Marine Serres, a Goldman colleague. There's nothing NSFW about this, but it should be considered NSFThoseWho'veJustFinishedLunch. Read more »

2014 Honda Jazz | new car review
Simple interior layout
Storage compartments
Boot space
Limited engine options
The Honda Jazz is your typical compact hatchback: narrow, high-sided, small-bonneted, and nimble. It appears to have been styled like an MPV, with its dimensions reduced to hatchback size. The bonnet and windshield are one long curve which does make you wonder how they were able to fit and engine and gearbox under there. There are modest creases in the body panels that give an element of depth to it, but certainly for the money you're paying you could do a lot worse. The Jazz is a decent looking car without being exciting.
There is quite a weird feeling when you sit inside the Jazz. Being an "economical compact supermini" you would expect the interior to be styled like the inside of a pencil case. But no, there are indeed some fun features. The dash is book-ended by cup holders that sit conveniently high up. The control knobs sit on top of each other, banana like, over near the drivers' side and the radio is on a shaved façade that subtly faces the driver. The seats are moulded ergonomically so that you are supported in the all the right places and that makes all the difference. Space in the back is ample and will easily sit two adults. A third might be pushing it, however.
The Jazz is packed with all the standard features you would expect; even the basic EX model is not short on bits and pieces. Electric mirrors and windows, speed sensitive volume control, keyless entry, and an air cooled glove box all come as standard. What will intrigue the observer the most, however, are the "Magic Box" and "Magic Seats". Yes, that is how Honda describes the cunning hidden storage space. The boot space will surprise you, too. Be assured it puts its rivals to shame.
What's on offer?
There are three versions of the Jazz available in the UAE; the EX, LX, and EX-L. In all honesty there is very little difference between the models, with the wheel size standing out as the main variation. All the cars come equipped with a 1.5 litre i-VTEC straight-4 engine that churns out a respectable 118hp, as well as a 5-speed automatic gearbox. The mid-range LX model starts at AED 56,000 and the top of the line EX-L – which comes with a panoramic roof – will set you back a reasonable AED 63,000.
Summing it…
I quite like the Jazz. It is simple engineering done well. There are one or two things of note, like the electric window switches. They are quite dated, and also found on a lot of cars produced by Honda's arch-nemesis: Toyota. But beyond that it is hard to fault. You are paying a reasonable price for a trendy city run-around that is not short on quirky features. Although the styling pendulum swings more towards "modest" than "exciting" it is still quite fun and you will love the comfort that the seats provide. The only thing that will frustrate you is trying to find the magic box…

Council to consider upgrade bid
City officials are just days away from the likely approval of a contractor to upgrade the North Side Pump Station.
City Council cleared the final details Monday to consider a bid as soon as March 18 from Brushy Mountain Builders Inc. of Lenoir. The upgrades will bring the sewer pump station on West Cooksey Drive up to modern standards with new motors and drives for existing pumps and a new generator.
Council has approved funding through a $632,500 state loan to be paid back over 20 years. The city will add $126,000 from enterprise funds.
City officials moved to upgrade the station and the wastewater infrastructure in 2009 following a massive wastewater spill.
Council also is scheduled to discuss ways to improve the East Davidson Pump Station, the site of a nearly 100,000-gallon spill last month. The untreated wastewater spilled into three creeks in Thomasville over five hours.
The East Davidson station on Old Emmanuel Church Road experiences overflows because aging equipment can't handle heavy rains. Renovations are estimated to cost $825,000. The city wants to use state loan funds for the project.
The city also plans to replace a large section of the North Hamby sewer outfall line with a $2.7 million state loan to pay for about 9,300 linear feet of sewer line from Baptist Children's Home Road to Carmalt Street.
Pumps: Upgrading the North Side Pump Station is one of three projects Thomasville is undertaking to improve the sewer and water infrastructure.
Spills: In July and August 2009, nearly 16 million gallons of sewage spilled into Abbotts Creek and High Rock Lake. Thomasville was fined thousands of dollars because of it.
