Our approach is different, we ask questions, and the biggest is:" What business outcomes is your technology expected to drive? "
Put simply, we work with you to understand what you realistically need. Every cloud customer benefits from a bespoke service in this way, because it's the only way to do it.
What do YOU need from the cloud?
No one else has the same combination of business priorities, security concerns, constraints and comfort levels. Or the same mix of hardware, applications and legacy systems.
That's why one-size-fits-all cloud solutions just don't work for most organisations.
The concept of enterprise-class cloud computing may be relatively new but the underlying infrastructure is Sungard AS bread and butter. We trust their expertise and resources.

Advanced Methods for Shaping Time-Frequency Areas for the Selective Mixing of Sounds
The Selective Mixing of Sounds (presented in AES paper 6552) contains a large and conceptually challenging part, which had not been developed previously. This is a method of determining the areas in the time-frequency plane. It has a major effect on the quality of the sound. In this paper we propose and compare a range of appropriate algorithms. We begin with a simple two-dimensional running mean combined with a rule selecting the track characterised by the maximum energy, followed by a low-pass filter based on the 2-dimensional Fourier transform. We also propose several novel methods based on Monte-Carlo approach, in which local probabilistic rules are iterated many times to produce a required level of smoothing.

Snowstorm 'of major proportions' slams NortheastBy JAY LINDSAY
The Associated Press | February 09,2013AP Photo
Soonmee Lee cleans show from her car at the municipal parking lot in Fort Lee, N.J., as a winter storm hits the region Friday. The snow was expected to get worse overnight.BOSTON — A storm that forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books began clobbering the New York-to-Boston corridor Friday, grounding flights, closing workplaces and sending people rushing to get home ahead of a possible 1 to 3 feet of snow.
From New Jersey to Maine, shoppers crowded into supermarkets and hardware stores to buy food, snow shovels, flashlights and generators, something that became a precious commodity after Superstorm Sandy in October.
Others gassed up their cars, another lesson learned all too well after Sandy. Across much of New England, schools closed well ahead of the first snowflakes.
"This is a storm of major proportions," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino warned. "Stay off the roads. Stay home."
The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New York-to-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work.
Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine. The National Weather Service said Boston could get close to 3 feet of snow by Saturday evening, while most of Rhode Island could receive more than 2 feet. Connecticut was bracing for 2 feet, and New York City was expecting as much as 14 inches.
By Friday evening, the New York-to-Boston corridor was getting blowing, swirling snow and freezing rain. Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries.
The snow was expected to be at its heaviest Friday night and into Saturday. Forecasters said wind gusts up to 75 mph could cause widespread power outages and whip the snow into fearsome drifts. Flooding was expected along coastal areas still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, which hit New York and New Jersey the hardest and is considered Jersey's worst natural disaster.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, of Weather Underground, said the winter storm was a collision of two storms and may end up among the Boston area's Top 5 most intense ever.
"When you add two respectable storms together, you're going to get a knockout punch with this one," he said.
It could break Boston's all-time snowstorm record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003, forecasters said. The storm also comes almost 35 years to the day after the blizzard of '78, a ferocious storm that dropped 27 inches of snow, packed hurricane-force winds and claimed dozens of lives.
Masters said the region could get a break from warmer air trailing behind that is expected to push temperature up to the 40s by Monday.
"It's going to be not that difficult to dig out, compared to maybe some other nor'easters in the past, where it stayed cold after the storm went through," he said.
Drivers were urged to stay off the streets lest their cars get stuck, preventing snowplows and emergency vehicles from getting through. New York City ran extra commuter trains to help people get home before the brunt of the storm hit.
Amtrak stopped running trains in cities around the Northeast on Friday afternoon. Airlines canceled more than 4,300 flights through Saturday, and New York City's three major airports and Boston's Logan Airport shut down.
Interstate 95 was closed to all but essential traffic in Rhode Island, where the governor said outages remained the biggest threat.
"With tree branches laden with heavy, wet snow, the winds picking up and the temperatures plunging all at the same time, it's a bad combination," Gov. Lincoln Chafee said.
In Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick enacted a statewide driving ban for the first time since the blizzard of 1978. Hours before the ban went into effect at 4 p.m., long lines formed at gas stations, some of which were almost out of fuel.
James Stone said he was saving the remaining regular gas at his station in Abington, south of Boston, for snowplow drivers.
"It hasn't snowed like this in two years," Stone said. "Most people are caught way off-guard."
The snow was too much of a good thing in some places. In New Hampshire, the University of Connecticut's Skiing Carnival was canceled because of the snowstorm. In Maine, the National Toboggan Championships in Camden were postponed from Saturday to Sunday, and the Camp Sunshine Polar Plunge was put off until March.
At Rosie's Liquors in Abington, customers were lined up eight to 10 deep Friday, snapping up rum, wine and 30-packs of beer.
"We've been absolutely slammed. It's almost been like Christmas here," manager Kristen Brown said. "A lot of people are saying, `I'm going to be stuck with my family all weekend. I need something to do."'MORE IN National / World BusinessThe election result in Greece reflects a growing European backlash against austerity policies.

Global Grassroots gives women the tools they need to create social change in their communities. Personal transformation and sound business skills through the Global Grassroots year long training and support program enables women to address issues specifically and locally.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Rwanda on the ground. I have seen projects up and running successfully, and new trainees enter into the program.
More feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
the most dedicated group of individuals.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help women become self-sufficent and create social change in a meaningful and lasting way.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Donor & As a donor and a past board member, I have traveled to Rwanda to experience the Global Grassroots training program first hand.

Resolve and Evolve!
According to Wikipedia, a New Year's resolution is "a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous." It strikes me that the following resolutions from About.com's Pediatric Page for Preschoolers might apply to all of us:
Here at Diabetes Health, we've learned the hard way that specific resolutions are the way to go. General plans like "I'll watch my weight" or "I'll check my blood glucose more often" tend to be less successful than the more specific: "I'll eat x number of carbs each meal" and "I'll check my BG before and after every meal."
We've also learned that catching yourself doing something right is ultra-important. Go ahead and set up a reward system for yourself...If I check my BG according to schedule for an entire month, then I'll reward myself with a spa day or a day trip to the beach...Indulge yourself with whatever inspires you and makes you feel good, as long as it doesn't undo the work you've just accomplished.
We asked our readers to tell us about their New Year's resolutions and their special ways of celebrating the beginning of the New Year. Here's what they said:
As a psychotherapist and health educator, my New Year's and Valentine's resolution is to keep my own work/life in balance and to provide hope to my patients that taking care of their diabetes can be done through mindfulness and thoughtful decision-making. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, sound nutritional counseling, and a fitness component tailored to each person's needs. My husband has type 2, and together we strive to keep our lives in balance, including his blood sugars, through the tenets of this program. We pre-plan our holiday celebrations to include some extra calories, but we are also mindful to get extra exercise on these days. We know that our bodies can't tell the difference between calories consumed on holidays and on other days-they all add up.

Valentines Day on February 14, 2005, was a big day for my family and me. Just a few days before that, the doctors had told me that I was having problems with my heart and needed to go into the hospital. At the time I was away from my home in Victoria, Texas, visiting Tampa, Florida. I wanted to return to Texas and be home with my family for the hospitalization. I was told that I could go, but that I could not drive. I was in luck because my oldest son was with me, and he drove me home. When I got to the hospital in Texas, they said that I was a lucky man because I might easily not have made it and should have had the operation in Florida. I'm here by the grace of God. Each year, this season is a joy. God bless one and all.

My New Years Resolution is to take my multivitamin and walk every day. My sister told me about a multivitamin especially for people with diabetes that has extra potency of the important vitamins for people like us. I always had trouble swallowing those big pills, but these are small, long, and thin, so they go down easy. For anyone else having trouble with swallowing, they are in a green and yellow box in the diabetes section of Walgreens and Walmart too!
I walk right after I take the vitamin-a 20-minute fast walk every day (7 songs on my iPod). It's probably my imagination, but the vitamin seems to give me more energy to get this done. Maybe it's just that I have made it a habit. Either way, it's working for me. I've only been doing this for about four weeks now, but my resolution is to keep it up all year. When the weather is bad, my walk will be in the mall.

I celebrate the New Year by volunteering in Oregon's successful Whale Watch program, which focuses on the migration of the gray whales between Alaska and Baja, Mexico. Being outdoors is a fresh reminder to jump-start my resolution to get more outdoor exercise and maintain my weight loss of 50 pounds (over five years) and my A1c of 5.5%.
For Valentine's Day we'll be attending a wedding celebration for my niece, where we'll be surrounded by our extended family, all of whom have provided great support to me over the years. Fortunately, I have developed good party habits and am able to taste the buffet foods without pigging out on the less desirable choices, enabling me to maintain good glycemic control. I recently had a calcium count to detect the amount of plaque in my heart. The result was "zero" for a person of my age, so what I have been doing so far must be working!

I don't have any New Year's resolutions regarding diabetes on my own, but I'd like to see the world of diabetes come front and center in the next year. I see people selling whatchamacallits for breast cancer awareness, but there is still little consciousness-raising with respect to type 1. I especially don't think that only one diabetes awareness month per year is enough. I'd like to see diabetes awareness and knowledge perpetuated year-round...but to do something about this requires a group resolve rather than an individual resolution.

"I received an email very promptly with the digital proof of my card. It needed some minor adjustments for font size so I emailed back asking if they could fix it. I received a response back almost immediately with the corrected font! Delivery was quick after I approved the digital proof & the cards are printed on good quality paper. There isn't a lot of room to write on the back for an address but overall I'm very pleased with the results."
"My partner and I chose this design because the wild roses are part of our theme. The photo we used is a soft wide-angle shot we took of us in the Marin Headlands and we debated whether or not to use the sepia option because it matched the lettering so nicely. But in the end we chose the original photo to add a little extra color to the design. As we were designing, it looked like one of our names would overlap the date but when I received the free email proof, the designer had shifted the date down a little so there wasn't any overlap. The final product is classy, almost vintage looking, and we're so happy with it! We can't wait to send them out. Thank you!"
"I ordered this style for my save the dates. I was very pleased with the outcome. Many of my guests emailed me to let me know how pretty they thought they were. The order came quickly, even before estimated time. My full name would not fit, the designers fit everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend this style to anyone."
"I loved our finished save the date. We chose the pink orchids to follow our colors and classic theme. The sample I ordered used the regular Signature Textured White which I felt looked like recycled paper and not as high quality. For our finished product, I chose the pearl white shimmer paper, flat card with no picture and rounded corners and plain white envelopes which I'll spruce up with an embosser I also ordered. Love the official save the date and excellent quality with the upgraded paper type!! I can't wait to send them out!"
"Absolutely adore this design. The colors were gorgeous online and came out exactly as I imagined in real life. We played with the typeface a bit, but working with the graphic designer made it a breeze. Highly recommend!"

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Batman ~ Adoption Pending!
Facts about Batman ~ Adoption Pending
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Batman ~ Adoption Pending's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Batman! Rescued from the Mahoning County Pound, where he was scared to death! This little lovebug is looking for a lap to call his forever home! He is approx. 10 lbs and 5-6 yrs old!
Other Pets at Legacy Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Batman ~ Adoption Pending, a Youngstown Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Youngstown, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Youngstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Youngstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Youngstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Youngstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Two Years After: the Independence of Kosovo
February 28, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
San Francisco–Your reporter has held up writing the particulars of this speech by the current President of Kosovo for a month and a half to wait for that democracy's second anniversary of their independence from Serbia (on February 17th) of the largely (ethnically Albanian) and (religiously) Islamic nation in the Southern Balkan Range of the Southeast Europe).
About two to three years ago, personalities from that greater area were making themselves available to American opinion makers quite regularly – including journalists, but after the freedom of Pristina (the Kosovar capital), interest waned in North America. Yet, his Excellency, the President, (Doctor) Fatmir Sejidu spoke here on the Pacific Coast of the United States of America during January.
The Delaware-sized Republic of Kosovo is (politically) considered the world's latest nation. Currently, sixty-four countries have recognized the Republika Kosovo (Kosoves) as sovereign including Washington, NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the European Union (EU) plus the continued fiscal support of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank. Despite the dire warnings of twenty-four months ago, Kosovo has become a stable political entity over the past two years.
American citizens failed to recognize the complexity of the struggle partially because of the failure of U.S. media outlets to explain the historical roots of the conflict:
In the Seventh Century, the ancestors of the modern (now Orthodox) Serbs (Kososki) immigrated into the region, but were to be replaced by a branch of the Albanians, the Kosovars (now 88% of the population) who were eventually subsumed into the Medieval Serbian Empire, but were later incorporated into the Ottoman (Turk) State as a result of the Battle of Kosovo fought in 1389. The modern history of the Kosovans began after the First Balkan War (1912) which was fought just before the First World War. At first it was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia founded in 1922; then, the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia as a result of the Second World War (established in 1946). The great tragedy of the federation of Yugoslavia was that the former State Executive, General Tito, did not build the political basis for the union of States after his presence; so, this country degenerated into its constituent warring factions. Under the Former Yugoslavia, the Kosovar's territory was an autonomous Province within Serbia itself, but its self-government was revoked by Belgrade in 1989. On February 17th of 2008, Pristina declared itself independent.
Although it is the 168th largest country the world in land mass (10,887 sq. km.), it is miniscule in compassion even to most U.S. States. The Kosovars border three countries that block its access to the sea, and is poor in natural resources. The demographic ratios show promise for the future, though, (highly tilting towards people in their mid-20s). The majority of the citizenry are Albanian Muslims with the (Christian) Orthodox weighing in at fewer than 10% with six negligible minorities over three Muslim and Christian groups.
The host of this program of the World Affairs Council of Northern California and the Commonwealth Club of California that had invited Sejdiu to San Francisco, surprisingly, stressed that there were "Many strong views on Dr. Sejdiu's subject. Threateningly, the host stated that "Disrupters will be ejected and cited! Join me in deference to a head of State!"
Fatmir stated on this the second anniversary of the success of our struggle to join the community of nations; we should remember our horrific (epic) battle with (our neighbors,) the Serbs. It was a conflict for the indigenous Kosovars to reclaim their birthright (terrain) from ethnic cleansing. He claimed it was the first incidence of a foreign intervention for human rights. (Your author disputes this, but the interventions by the West against the reactionary and repressive forces in the Former Yugoslavia were one of the more noble ventures in the latter part of the Twentieth Century.)
Sedjiu asserted we could not succeed through negotiations alone with Serbia. Thus, the international community of peoples supervised the talks. We now have military co-operation with your country (the U.S.A.) as well as cordial relations with our neighbors. A state of peace presently exists!
We are having good economic growth despite previous predictions. Doing what heads of States often do, he "made a pitch" for the Republic's financial prospects: We have minerals (unfortunately not strategic ones), and the basis for energy (again, unfortunately, it is coal which adds to Global warming). Our most valuable asset is our well-educated youth (who are leaving Kosoves in droves because of the lack of opportunity in their native land).
A severe strain upon the commonweal is the fact that the Serbians were stole well-earned pensions from the Kosovans before they left. The new Administration in the Capital, Pristina had to "pick up the pieces," and had to devote much needed legal tender to maintain the hard-earned social safety net of the workers!
Concluding the Doctor-President stated "Kosovo is…committed to a peaceful society…Kosovo is committed to integration with Europe," and friendship with the United States!
Swiss Vote Betrays Enlightenment Ideals
By Juan Cole
This campaign poster was banned for being racist, but apparently the goal of the poster, now that is all right.
Swissinfo surveys the headlines in Switzerland Monday morning and finds that the press there universally condemned and expressed dismay at Sunday's vote. Editors expressed consternation at the inevitable tarnishing of Switzerland's image and worried about the consequences. Will there be boycotts? Sanctions? Appeals to the European Court of Human Rights?
I can anticipate right now arguments to excuse this outbreak of bigotry in the Alps that will be advanced by our own fringe Right, of Neoconservatives and those who think, without daring saying it, that "white culture" is superior to all other world civilizations and deserves to dominate or wipe the others out.
The first is that it is only natural that white, Christian Europeans should be afraid of being swamped by people adhering to an alien, non-European religion.
Switzerland is said to be 5 percent Muslim, and of course this proportion is a recent phenomenon there and so unsettling to some. But Islam is not new to Europe. Parts of what is now Spain were Muslim for 700 years, and much of the eastern stretches of what is now the European Union were ruled by Muslims for centuries and had significant Muslim populations. Cordoba and Sarajevo are not in Asia or Latin America. They are in Europe. And they are cities formed in the bosom of Muslim civilization.
The European city of Cordoba in the medieval period has been described thusly:
' For centuries, Cordoba used to be the jewel of Europe, which dazzled visitors from the North. Visitors marveled at what seemed to them an extraordinary general prosperity; one could travel for ten miles by the light of street lamps, and along an uninterrupted series of buildings. The city is said to have had then 200,000 houses, 600 mosques, and 900 public baths. Over the quiet Guadalquivir Arab engineers threw a great stone bridge of seventeen arches, each fifty spans in width. One of the earliest undertakings of Abd al-Rahman I was an aqueduct that brought to Cordova an abundance of fresh water for homes, gardens, fountains, and baths.'
So if the Swiss think that Islam is alien to Europe, then they are thinking of a rather small Europe, not the Europe that now actually exists. Minarets dotted Cordoba. The Arnaudia mosque in Banja Luca dates back to the 1400s; it was destroyed along with dozens of others by fanatics in the civil war that accompanied the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
As for the likely comeback,that Muslims came to Europe from the 700s of the Common Era as conquerors, unlike Christianity, actually both were conquering state religions. It was the conversion of an emperor that gave a favored position to Christianity in Europe, which was a small minority on the continent at the time. And Charlemagne forcibly imposed Christianity on the German tribes up to the Elbe. In the cases both of European Christianity and European Islam, there were many willing converts among the ordinary folk, who thrilled to itinerant preachers or beautiful chanting.
Others will allege that Muslims do not grant freedom of religion to Christians in their midst. First of all, this allegation is not true if we look at the full range of the countries where the 1.5 billion Muslims live. Among the nearly 60 Muslim-majority states in the world, only one, Saudi Arabia, forbids the building of churches. Does Switzerland really want to be like Saudi Arabia?
Here is a Western Christian description of the situation of Christians in Syria:
'In Syria, as in all other Arab countries of the Middle East except Saudi Arabia, freedom of religion is guaranteed in law . . . We should like to point out too that in Syria and in several other countries of the region, Christian churches benefit from free water and electricity supplies, are exempt from several types of tax and can seek building permission for new churches (in Syria, land for these buildings are granted by the State) or repair existing ones.
It should be noted too that there are Christian members of Parliament and of government in Syria and other countries, sometimes in a fixed number (as in Lebanon and Jordan.)
Finally, we note that a new personal statute was promulgated on 18 June 2006 for the various Christian Churches found in Syria, which purposely and verbatim repeats most of the rules of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches promulgated by Pope John Paul II.
That is, in Muslim-majority Syria, the government actually grants land to Christians for the building of churches, along with free water and electricity. Christians have their own personal status legal code, straight from the Vatican. (It is because Christians have their own law in the Middle East, backed by the state, that Muslims in the West are puzzled as to why they cannot practice their personal status code.) Christians have freedom of religion, though there are sensitivities about attempts to convert others (as there are everywhere in the Middle East, including Israel). And Christians are represented in the legislature. With Switzerland's 5 percent Muslim population, how many Muslim members of parliament does it have?
It will also be alleged that in Egypt some clergymen gave fatwas or legal opinions that building churches is a sin, and it will be argued that Christians have been attacked by Muslims in Upper Egypt.
These arguments are fallacies. You cannot compare the behavior of some Muslim fanatics in rural Egypt to the laws and ideals of the Swiss Republic. We have to look at Egyptian law and policy.
The Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar Seminary, the foremost center of Sunni Muslim learning, 'added in statements carried by Egyptian newspaper Youm al-Saba'a that Muslims can make voluntary contributions to build churches, pointing out that the church is a house for "worshipping and tolerance." ' He condemned the fundamentalist Muslims for saying church-building is sinful. And Egypt has lots of churches, including new Presbyterian ones, following John Calvin who I believe lived in . . . Geneva. Aout 6 percent of the population is Christian.
The other problem with excusing Switzerland with reference to Muslims' own imperfect adherence to human rights ideals is that two wrongs don't make a right. The bigotted Right doesn't even have the moral insight of kindergartners if that is the sort of argument they advance. The International Declaration of Human Rights was crafted with the participation of Pakistan, a Muslim country; the global contemporary rights regime is imperfectly adhered to by all countries– it is a claim on the world's behavior, something we must all strive for. If the Swiss stepped back from it, they stepped back in absolute terms. It doesn't help us get to global human rights to say that is o.k. because others are also failing to live up to the Declaration.
The other Wahhabi state besides Saudi Arabia, Qatar, has allowed churches. But they are not allowed to have steeples or bells. This policy is a mirror image to that of the Swiss.
So Switzerland, after centuries of striving for civilization and enlightenment, has just about reached the same level of tolerance as that exhibited by a small Gulf Wahhabi country, the people of which were mostly Bedouins only a hundred years ago.

One day, Doug Johnson plans to write a book about opening a hospital. He'll have plenty to write about.
Presbyterian Healthcare Services' newest facility, Rust Medical Center, Rio Rancho, N.M.-a 92-bed, full-service hospital-opened Oct. 23, and Johnson played an integral role in the facility's planning and development as its clinical project manager.
In the past year, Johnson helped design and implement several leading-edge approaches at Rust Medical Center, including acuity-adaptable rooms that have reduced patient transfers and an electronic ICU that combines telemedicine, software, and 24/7 monitoring technology.
To help identify and test these novel approaches, Johnson developed an innovation lab-of which he is now director.
In a recent interview, Johnson discussed what the innovation lab does and offered advice to health system leaders on inspiring and implementing breakthrough improvements.
How was Rust Medical Center's first week in operation? Is there anything you would do differently?
Doug Johnson: Very emotional and exciting, yet stressful. We tried a soft opening: surgery on the first day, labor and delivery on the second day, and the emergency department on the third day. This was an effective approach to ease into care and allow staff to be comfortable.
The amount of volumes we had was more than we anticipated. For example, in our labor and delivery area, we had a lot of babies born the first week. Our first baby born was a Cesarean section, so we broke that area in real fast. We also anticipated having an average daily census in our six-bed ICU of two patients, and we quickly went to four.
In hindsight, there's probably a million things I'd do differently. Before we opened up, we did mock runs using a lot of our leaders as patients. I would have spent a little bit more time on these simulations with more resources, ensuring the processes we built were running as smoothly as we had hoped they would.
Can you explain what your hospital's innovation lab does?
Johnson: The innovation lab is a space within our facility that is set up for testing and trying new ideas and innovations that will be implemented across the health system.
I have six full-time employees who lead and create innovation projects. It's too soon to talk about the ideas we're working on now, but these won't be things like reducing the ED's left-without-being-seen rate from 3 percent to 2 percent. That's very specific, and the improvement is relatively small. We're looking for disruptive innovation, something that's huge-40 percent to 50 percent improvement.
The innovation lab has mobile walls so we can create spaces for brainstorming meetings and observation areas. In the observation areas, we can mock up patient rooms and design concepts that can be monitored. Everything in the lab is on wheels, so it can be moved and configured in any way quickly.
How is process improvement different from innovation?
Johnson: Process improvement is looking at what you already know how to do, and trying to make those processes better. For example, when our length of stay is too long and we want to reduce it, we identify the steps or tasks that are adding to our excess length of stay and we try to make those steps more efficient.
With innovation, we're trying to come up with completely different ways of doing things. We are not necessarily looking for the financial impact, although that's important. Our focus is on the customer experience. We want to create a great, healthy experience for patients.
Can you provide examples of your innovation approach?
Johnson: We spent a lot of time in our other facilities videotaping and conducting a work analysis on our nurses to see what they spend their time on. We found that between 30 percent and 40 percent of the time nurses are traveling, they're walking.
So we decentralized our nursing stations. For a 24-bed unit, we have 12 decentralized nursing stations. We have four medication rooms, which means that every six beds has one automated medication dispensing cabinet. We also decentralized to much smaller supply rooms, equipment rooms, and utility rooms. By decentralizing our nursing stations, we reduced the number of miles each of our nurses travels a year by about 150 miles. That's huge.
Another example is our acuity-adaptable rooms. We've made it so patients will never have to leave their rooms during their stays unless they require ICU-level care. Each room can be adjusted to match a patient's acuity, including the addition or removal of medical equipment. We also bring much of the care to the patient; for example, dialysis and gastrointestinal procedures are done at the bedside.
The patient rooms are separated into two sections. One is the worker area, where there is a sink for caregivers to wash their hands, a table where nurses or physicians can work on their charts, and a computer for the nurse to record vital data without disturbing the patient. The other side is our family zone, which has a sleeper sofa, a workstation for family members, and a wardrobe. We don't have visiting hours. We think family members are just as important in a patient's healing and caregiving as we are, so we want them here.
We also put patient lifts in every patient room to prevent back injuries for caregivers and to provide for the dignity of the patient. Instead of four or five people moving a patient from the bed to a chair, one person can do that using a patient lift.
Can you share one important lesson learned about creating a foundation of innovation?
Johnson: Culture is everything. Innovation is a word, but it happens through people.
We have intentionally designed our culture around our mission statement: "We are healthcare professionals who partner with our customers to create an exceptional healthcare experience through innovation."
To help our staff embrace our mission, we identified the competencies that we felt were important:
Then we pulled our employees together and asked them to help define these competencies. For example, for service orientation, we asked employees: What service principles do you feel are most important? How are you going to design what you do? How are you going to create the behavior standards around the culture that we are trying to create?
These 40 frontline employees who helped design the culture came up with these service principles:
Do you have any advice that you would give healthcare leaders who may be undertaking a major project, such as opening a hospital?
Johnson: I use one phrase a lot: "Just be a real human being." When we first started designing this hospital, staff would ask questions like, "How are we going to do this?" or "How did we mess this up?" I'd look across the room of and say, "OK, anyone in this room who has ever built a hospital before, please raise your hand," and there wasn't a single hand that went up.
We absolutely have to be humble about how we go about things. I don't think that sharing with employees your humility as a leader is a bad thing. I think sharing your weaknesses, empowering your staff to strengthen you, and taking advice from them are probably the most important things that you can do.

We are considering using a salvaged bowling alley lane as a butcher block island in our kitchen remodel. We found some beautiful, unfinished pieces at a local salvage store that would need to be cut to size and finished. I've done a bit of online research, and have found some very nice photos of countertops that people have made. But I also found a post from one person saying the material can be very difficult to cut and work with because there is a good deal of metal within the lanes. Does anyone have any experience with this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Been there....done that. When we moved into our house the guy that owned the house prior to us used bowling alley for countertops. 1. There are nails everywhere within the wood to hold it together. If you want to cut it, bring a crapload of saw blades. 2. My God is it heavy 3. Thickness 4. The wood sections are not glued together thus when you spill something, it can seep right through. Although it looks like butcherblock...it isn't Don't waste your time |

Belive it or not, that has nothing to do with anything, except this picture I drew earlier, it's really random... And I couldn't describe it to you no matter how hard I tried so here's a link:
It was just randomness. But I really like how it turned out.
Anyways, I am officaly a vegan now, partly because the other day I mentioned to some guy that I'm almost a vegan, and he told me not to do that because I'm "too young." or something. And partly because I've been wanting to become vegan for a while anyways. But I think that guy sort of pushed me over the edge... So now I'm going to learn how to cook. From things like bread, to rice pudding (With almond milk. Because soy milk gets clumps... Eww.) to carrot cake, and all sorts of stuff. Because, I figrure, being able to cook is important if you're vegan right?
My sister went back to Florida, she really didn't want to go, and I didn't want her to go. Sometimes I'll be like, playing a game or something and I still want to call her over to show her. It's so weird... I want her to move here, she wants to move here, (She said she wanted too except she didn't want to leave mom behind.) and I think everyone wants her to move here except for mom... Figures.
Nobody has commented on my journals latley... I guess my life is boring-er now or something. XD Oh well...
Anyways, I feel, different now, in my art... The quality has improved a lot, but something else is different now, I can put emotions and symbolisom into a picture, in ways I couldn't before. It's like something 'clicked.' And I'm SO much better than I was this time last year. That it's like, unbeliveable. And I don't even want to start with two years ago. That was scary. X3
I guess it's my slightly late new-years resolution to stay vegan then eh? And to practice my art, and to learn how to cook. That's what I want to do this year.
your drawing is really cool . . . ur talented =D
make love not war . . . . or be abstinent and bomb everybody!!!!
also, happy holidays!!!!!!!
Vegan with a Vengeance is an awesome book. Lots of good stuff.
I'm a total myspace whore (and by whore, I mean I use it to sleep with people, I'm not on it often), so ADD ME AS A FRIEND
I was a vegan for a while but I love steak so I had to give it up. Good luck with the coming out!
3 wheels are better than 4!

Subaru Crew Problems & Solutions
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Gas: just drove from DC to CT and back, and prices were best in MD just north of Baltimore ($1.459), though NJ turnpike was close ($1.489) and that's full serve!
25mpg on the way up and 27mpg back, with more traffic. Go figure.
PSI: I'm running 33psi. 29/26 was too soft and bouncy.
For off roading, I tried 20psi and it was still too firm. 18psi worked best for me in the deep, soft sand. I'd try 20psi for off road and adjust it from there based on your needs.
Paul: I bet those lug nuts were over-torqued, probably by far.
Eric: your exhaust is fine. That's how mine is shaped. Believe me, I've spent at least a few hours under Sandy.
The good news is that it can flex upward quite a bit, since they're on rubber hangers, so if you scrape it you should be fine. You'd really have to bang it up to do damage.
tex: OBD2 is a pain. They actually designed it to give the driver less information so you'd have to go to a dealer for even minor problems.
When I was shopping for a used Miata, several people advised that I go with a pre-ODB2 or even an older pre-OBD model. They're more tolerant of mods, too.
-juice -
tincup47 Posts: 1,508Was mandated by the Federal Government. It monitors more parameters than the non-obd2 vehicles. It was not designed to give more work to the dealers, but to more closely control emissions. Older systems could be out of spec and not throw a problem code, hence the added sensitivity.
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I agree for the most part, but I'd add that they pretty much assumed all owners were complete blithering idiots and needed this idiot light that simply won't turn off until you visit a dealership.
Seems excessive for a loose gas cap. Why not give specific codes if the owners can very easily fix it?
-juice -
tincup47 Posts: 1,508The car doesn't know why there is an air leak, it just senses the pressure drop. Also most people and some repair shops don't have the knowledge or equiptment to properly diagnose or repair emission related problems. Part of the reason for the OBD2 is that it will throw and retain codes to facilitate diagnosis of emission related problems.
locke2c Posts: 5,038A little late, but...
Mike, 70lb-ft is correct for alloy wheels. Try 80-85 for steel, but not more than that or you'll ruin the studs.
By the way, a good way to break loose lugs without getting an aching back is to put the wrench on and sticking out parallel to the ground (9 o'clock). Now stand on the wrench.
-Colin -
tincup47 Posts: 1,508I realise it is very sophisticated, but how is the car going to determine if the cap is loose or there is a hole somewhere in the system? If there is a hole, that should be fixed at the dealer. The car will also throw the same code if you fill the car with gas with the engine running. The system does reset as Patti said.
bluesubie Posts: 3,497It came on for me a few weeks ago. I've had the hesitation (97 OBS) for a few years now. The only thing the dealer found was a "loose vacuum hose". Sure enough the hesitation came back with a vengeance and the c.e. light even came on. Added some Sunoco 94 and disconnected the battery. No more c.e. light and no more hestitation (for now anyway).
If a loose gas cap is the cause of the c.e. light, wouldn't an ECU reset after tightening the cap do the trick?
Dennis -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I like Colin's idea. Just make sure you get the socket all the way in to the lug nut so it does not slip and strip it.
tincup: actually, that's not quite correct. I've filled up with the engine running before and no light came on. I know this is not recommended but I had simply forgotten and it idles quietly.
Anyhow, we could debate this to death, but it's not up to Subaru since it's federally mandated so I'll let you have the last word on the subject.
-juice -
rangerron7 Posts: 317I had 3 different occasions on my old '95 Blazer (OH MAN, what an awfull vehicle, but that's another story.) where the check engine light came on. Took it to my mechanic each time only to find that it "never stored a code". Like I said, awfull vehicle!
I agree with Juice that OBD2 should provide more data.

francophile Posts: 667Juice, full serve is the LAW in New Jersey. The pols there think we're too stupid to pump our own gas. Plus, of course you got better mileage on the way back - it's downhill! Just look at a map ;-)
As for breaking lug nuts loose, I do the stand-on-a-pipe routine as a last resort. I've found that a "short, sharp shock"[1] with a decent breaker bar has a very good effect. I've amazed friends doing this in the past, even one guy who was heavy into body building (I'm not exactly a muscular guy); he was trying to get the lug nuts loose on his car, and couldn't. I walked up and, pop! Boy was he p*ssed .
Use a long enough breaker bar; mine is an 18" long 1/2" drive model. Put it on the lug nut so that it is roughly parallel to the ground and so that an upward pull will loosen the nut. Lean over it with your back straight your arms cocked. Pull UP on it gently to remove all slack. Then give a hard, sharp yank up towards your chest, all motion with your arms and none with your back. Works for me, even when the wheels were last put on by the ham-fisted mechanic who has no idea what torque is. If I'm using one of those X-wrenches I do the same thing except with a push-pull on opposite ends of the X. It's not quite as effective but should get most of them. The key is to remove the slack first and then to make a quick, sharp motion.
[1] Okay, who am I quoting this time? -
miksmi Silver Spring, MDPosts: 1,246Colin, thanks for the torque for alloys in <36>. In what manual is that located, or is that one of those things that's common knowledge?
WDB, I was mistaken in <20-21>. I tried 0.75 in and 19.0 mm sockets on the lug nut; both had equal play. Lo mismo, just as you said. Forgive my incredulousness, oh wise one. Oh, and thanks for the Palm conversion app, I'll dl it mañana.
[1] I shan't hazard a guess.

buchignani Posts: 30A couple of questions:
Does anyone make a front protector (bra) for the 2001 Forester other than the Subaru-branded one?
Why is it that there seems to be only one Subaru version? I thought that the lights and hood changed a bit in 2001; wouldn't that affect the fit?
By the way, horror stories notwithstanding, bras can be used long term with perfect safety--the only possible exception being Vancouver/Seattle type weather. Wax the hell out the hood (etc.) before putting them on and make sure that they are not flapping about. I've had one almost continuously on my '92 Prelude, which has been outside the whole time. There's no way to distinguish the covered from the normally uncovered parts of the hood.
But then, I probably wouldn't try this with GM or Ford paints...

Jul 10th 2008 12:00PM It doesnt even mention the most recent. Hunters were supposed to get a new anti druid buff, Insta Fear Beast. And then the QQ raged all over the druid forums. The night of the patch the decision was made to leave it the way it is. They still havent changed the tooltip back.

This worked pretty well for me. I noticed almost immediate strength gains. They went up pretty drastically, almost overnight. I was impressed. Not so much size or definition but definitely harder, more dense muscles. After about three weeks I seemed to max out its use and kind of just plateaued. After being off it, I noticed slightly less performance but nothing major. Still using the same weight but maybe getting a rep or two less. As for side effects, I thought they were good and bad. This stuff gave me constant erections. I all ready have a high drive but I would get random erections throughout the day and all night long. Also I noticed while using this I seemed to wake up almost every night around 3:00 AM and had trouble going back to sleep. Overall I would recommend for strength gains and to up your drive with your woman.

Let me start off by saying take this as directed and research what your taking before hand. If you are in your early 20's or teens I would say stay away from this, workout reg because you will have plenty of testrone. I was geting great gains on this everybody was like wow your geting bigger helps shed some bodyfat as well.3rd week it really kicks in Honstely I was having headaches So need to research how others take it some do with a meal to help with heartburn. I noticed a big increase in bloodpressure and aggression so I would suggest take your bp every other day. You will get short temp about the stuipest stuff. I got red in the face because my bloodpressure was so High. After the A Hd I went threw some depression So I would suggest if you do take this to be EXTREMLY CAREFUL and there are sideeffects.Anixtey Also If your under 30 I would suggest not geting it unless your trying to go pro or something because the sideeffects are bad. When your testrone is so high it messes with your emmotions as well.do not take this with caffine also it could make your bp go up more

My scepticism turn into belief
By Tommyboy
from Ridgecrest, CA
After age 50 I started noticing that it was becoming harder to maintain strength, if I went more than three days without working out I would loose strength. I started using this product two weeks ago and have already noticed an increase in strength and stamina, and I have lost an inch around my waist. So far so good.

Dont expect this to make you gain muscle mass. If that is what you want this is not the product for you. Also it can help you get ripped, but there are much better products for that on this website. I would keep on looking. I did notice a bit of extra strength, but not much.

I have had an wonderful, fun and busy year raising Monarch, so far 837 with just 2 left. One will eclose today and not sure when my last one will eclose, probably this weekend. I am sure going to miss my sweetheart Monarchs. This will be my banner year, and quite satisfying for me, but it was too hard of a pace caring for all them, I will have to tone it down some next year. But whew, what a year, have tons of photos I could share.
Stay tuned for more soon. |

I didn't raise nearly as many as you but I've had Tiger, Spicebush, Black Swallowtail and Monarch cats around the house most of the summer. I released my last one yesterday (a Monarch) and have Empty Nest Syndrome now. It's kind of boring without them isn't it. lol Hope you stick around even after butterfly season is over. You can share your photos all winter. We won't mind. : ) I have to ask - What the heck is that second butterfly on? Do you raise gourds? |
- Posted by coolbutterfly 4b (My Page) on Thu, Sep 22, 11 at 12:45
Hi Minrose and Christie, if you want to extend your monarch season until the beginning of October try these two plants: Tropical milkweed (stays viable until first frost) My last monarch eclosed Oct 3 last year and it will likely be Oct 5 this year...still waiting for 3 cats to pupate) Tony |
- Posted by misssherry Z8/9MS (My Page) on Thu, Sep 22, 11 at 16:06
You have indeed had a banner year, minrose! The monarchs say, "Thank you! You've aided in our survival in a big way!" Is that clover the monarch is nectaring on in the first picture? Sherry |
Congrats on raising so many Monarchs! It must have been a lot of work. I have no idea of my exact numbers, but I've released at least 100. There are 8 more chrysalises to go, and they will all eclose over the next few days. I will miss my Monarch friends when they're gone too. :( |
I can't image raising that many. Good for you! |
thank you for your nice encouraging comments, that flower in the first photo, is a mum colored green, then the second photo is a pumpkin called Knucklehead that we grew in our garden. |

William Brownlow | Supplied photo
Updated: November 10, 2013 6:25AM
John Krepps is replacing William Brownlow as senior vice president and chief financial officer at Silver Cross Hospital.
A resident of Lemont, Krepps, 58, joined Silver Cross in 1995 and has held several positions, including controller, associate vice president of finance and most recent vice president of finance.
Brownlow, 62, of New Lenox, retired Sept. 30 after serving 17 years as senior vice president and CFO.
Both men played a pivotal role in Silver Cross Hospital's effort to achieve the Top 100 status, a national award, which it won yearly from 2005 to '11. They were also instrumental in planning and financing the move to the new $360 million hospital in New Lenox, which opened in February 2012.
In his new position, Krepps is responsible for portfolio management and real estate and special strategic projects and will continue to oversee all financial operations.
During his time with Silver Cross, Krepps has developed joint ventures, including the hospital's relationship with The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, the Silver Cross Neuroscience Institute and the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross Hospital.

Sara's Thriftspiration
Before Oregon-based accessory designer Sara Dudzinsky got really into crystals, she was crafting her pieces around found objects. "I came across a little bag of quartz on a thrifting trip, and it's taken off from there," she explains. Even though her sourcing has gone a different direction now, she still hunts for knick-knacks (a process she calls "calming and restorative") that influence her work—and fill her studio.
"My boyfriend got the jeweler sign for me at a thrift store for my birthday—it's hand-painted. There are a ton of vintage shops in Portland, and he bought this at SMUT."
"This is my favorite thing right now. It was a geologist's case, and it looks handmade—like, stapled together. It has 64 drawers, 32 on each side. I got it at a weird antique furniture place that has all sorts of crazy pieces, and it's perfect for me because I use so many little parts. I'm not the most organized person, but I love to be methodical with my materials, lay everything out."
"These aren't thrifted, but I've had those crystal pieces forever. I got them when I was seven or eight at the Museum of Natural History. I guess I've always been kind of a rock nerd."
"My collection of tiny deer is kind of out of hand. It started a couple of years ago, right after I moved to Oregon. In my old apartment, I had all of the deer crammed onto the top of this bookshelf—they were out all the time, which drove my boyfriend crazy. So this year they all came out at Christmas, and I have some of them in my studio. These are my current favorites. The baby is the size of my pinkie nail. They're so tiny it's ridiculous."
Sara has created an exclusive pair of crystal earrings for Of a Kind. Buy them right here.

Apple Blocking iPhone Security Software
Probably not anti-security as much as SOP (148 comments)
My guess it's the simple fact that one program still can't really interact with another program's data.
The likelihood of Apple ever really changing this is probably next to zero, and it's the main reason I have no interest in the iPhone. What use is a computer in my pocket when I either need to use one program that is complex enough to handle every task I could possible need, or I need to make my tasks so simple that no data need ever be shared between two tools?

21 February 2008
A University scientist has been awarded an important fellowship supporting women returning to work after a career break.
Dr Isabelle Durance, of Cardiff School of Biosciences, has been awarded the two-year fellowship from the Daphne Jackson Trust to undertake research on the ecological impact of climate change.
Investigations in Dr Durance's own time - which made news in the journal 'Nature' - had revealed that streams and rivers were highly sensitive to climate change effects. This new project, co-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, will appraise interactions with other environmental problems such as acid rain. It will also examine climatic effects on the way stream organisms use energy, while an important applied component will assess how streamside land-use can be managed to offset climate-change impacts.
Dr Durance worked for 14 years in full-time research in France, but a series of career breaks to raise four children meant inevitably that she, like many other women, had been forced to juggle her career and family life. Through the Daphne Jackson Trust, she now has a unique opportunity to find her path back to full-time research.
"In reading all of their literature, I'd sensed how much the Daphne Jackson Trust had affected other women's lives", said Dr Durance. "Now, as a new Fellow myself, I appreciate, first-hand, this life-changing opportunity to contribute to a problem that has such importance not only now, but also for the world we leave to our children."
Established in memory of Britain's first female physics professor, The Daphne Jackson Trust is a charitable organisation whose Fellowship scheme supports women returning to careers in science or engineering.
Dr Durance's award mirrors the University's own commitment to equal opportunities. Professor Terry Threadgold Pro Vice-Chancellor, Staff said: "It is vital to the University's success that work-life balance has a key position in our ethos. Dr Durance's example shows how good scientists can be at the heart of important issues without losing touch with the importance of their own lives."

Now deep in its second generation, the Chevrolet Tahoe has been around since 1999, enjoying great success until 2005, when its age, high gas prices, and growing competition conspired to cause a dramatic drop-off in sales. Still, the Tahoe has been a perennial best-seller for a reason: It hits the sweet spot in the full-size SUV segment. The Tahoe is a right-sized, garage-friendly alternative to the Suburban behemoth and even pickup trucks. It tows up to 7,800 pounds, offers a choice of powerful V-8 engines, provides plenty of room and comfortable passenger quarters, and is capable off road.
While the styling won't melt you with its flourishes, there's really nothing offensive about it, either. In fact, it makes a strong statement about form following function, and this basic, honest shape can be dressed up and accessorized in any number of ways. Despite current high gas prices, many shoppers still consider a full-size SUV to be a reasonable proposition--and "reasonable" is the Tahoe's byword.
Developed alongside the Silverado pickups, the Tahoe shares clear visual lineage with broad, square shoulders tempered by rounding, almost friendly curves. The wheel arches are squared off, reflecting the brand's current truck design aesthetic, seen all the way down to the Colorado pickup. The Chevrolet crossbar grille, smoothed headlights, and slightly tapering hood add grace notes to the front. Sandstone and Bermuda Blue are new colors for 2005. The rear liftgate with hinged rear glass is standard on all models. Side mirrors offer a folding feature (powered on Z71 and LT models) to avoid damage in narrow spaces. Z71 and LT models' driver-side mirrors also feature built-in turn signals and electrochromatic glass that automatically dims headlight glare from following vehicles. Black or color-keyed fender flares, standard on the Z71 and optional on other Tahoes, add a touch of butch to the otherwise flat flanks.
Interior trim was revised for 2005, freshening the Tahoe with new fabrics and plastics. Unfortunately, the overall look is still that of old-think GM, with hard, unpleasing plastics, dated designs, and significant panel gaps. Still, if plain, rugged function is what you're after, the outgoing Tahoe is hard to fault, with more storage than most competitors competitor and easy-to-use controls, designed for gloved-hand operation.
With the optional, third-row bench, up to nine people can be seated. This third-row seat also splits 50/50 and folds forward. Without this bench, and with the second-row folded forward, there is a flat load floor and minivan-like cargo space. The rear glass is deeply tinted to help keep everybody in the third row comfortable. Power locks, power windows with driver-side one-touch down, and cruise control are standard. A tri-zone, manual climate control system is standard, while automation of this system is optional. Second-row passengers can enjoy a separate audio source from that of the front-row people, and a rear-passenger DVD entertainment is available. The optional Bose sound system plays through eight speakers. XM satellite radio, also available, provides 120 channels for diverse listening tastes. The sixth-generation OnStar in-vehicle safety and security system boasts improved accuracy in voice recognition.
The Tahoe is equipped with dual-stage front airbags that deploy based on the severity of impact. Front-row side airbags are available. GM's Passenger Sensing System won't trigger the front passenger airbag if a child is seated or if the seat is unoccupied, acting as both a safety and repair-cost-reduction measure. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard. The included Hydroboost feature provides brake assist in panic-braking situations. StabiliTrak, GM's stability control system, is newly standard on all Tahoes.
Looking under the Tahoe's hood reveals a familiar face: the time-tested Chevy small-block V-8, offered here displacing 4.8 liters for 285 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque V-8, or with longer-stroke cylinders displacing 5.3 liters for 295 horses and 335 lb-ft of torque. The blocks of these overhead-valve engines are cast iron; the cylinder heads are cast aluminum. Although these engines are smooth enough and powerful enough, in terms of refinement, they trail the more technologically advanced V-8 offerings from Nissan and Toyota. Fuel economy, poor to start with, hardly differs between the two engines, though both happily consume regular unleaded fuel. Only one transmission, a four-speed automatic, is offered, and like so many other things with the Tahoe, it's good enough.

Ever since Neo Gifts moved from Allen Street to Elmwood Avenue, there has been a missing shopping experience in Allentown. Not that Allentown doesn't have some great shops these days, such as Black Cat Vintage and The Dress Shop, along with plenty of bars and restaurants. Still, when it comes to shopping for household gifts there has been relatively little to choose from. Thankfully, Patrick Monfort, owner of East End Salon (47 Allen Street) has opened a second business in the neighborhood – he's calling it city and country.
Even before City and Country opened, Patrick always had a knack for showcasing a small assortment of thoughtful gifts in his salon, such as local handmade organic soaps. Now that initial concept has taken on an entirely new direction in the form of a stand-alone storefront just around the corner on Franklin Street. City and Country is loaded with all sorts of fun and unusual items, like the butterfly and birdhouses made from gourds for example. There's also the set of six tea candles in individual sake cups. After the candles are burned the sake cups can be reused… brilliant! Then there are the adorable stuffed animals made from recycled plastic bottles. The animals are soft, cuddly friends to the environment. There are recycled purses, as well as colorful scarves to pick from. City and Country even stocks gift cards made by two different print shops here in Buffalo.
Patrick has an eye for fun and affordable merchandise. He also has a penchant for seeking out local and/or organic and earth-friendly products. His displays are easy to browse and there are plenty of items to choose from. Patrick took over a former dead space on Franklin and has created a vibrant urban storefront with plenty of city and country appeal. City and Country is a welcome addition to Allentown, and deserves a round of applause from the neighborhood.
