The position of customer relations manager (abbreviated as CRM in many companies, not to be confused with community relations manager) is usually a senior position in larger companies manufacturing consumer and commercial goods. The customer relations manager acts as a liaison between the company and its customers to ensure that product standards are being met and to address concerns related to manufacture and production. They normally then interface with the company and its engineering, development, and manufacturing divisions to determine if changes in products need to be made.Read More...
It is the job of a CRM to supervise the company's customer relations or customer service department and to maintain a system of communication that facilitates the ability of these employees to interact efficiently with purchasers. The customer relations manager normally establishes an order in which to address these concerns, so that the most pressing or frequent reports are escalated and categorized quickly to relevant parties within the company. The company's engineering or manufacturing sections may make changes or offer solutions to these problems, and it is the job of the CRM to take this information back to the customer in a proactive, friendly response.
To be a customer relations manager, one must usually have at least a bachelor's degree in business or a related field. Normally, customer relations managers must have several years' experience as customer relations agents or supervisors before they're considered for this higher-level position. Many companies prefer to promote from within when hiring a customer relations manager.
Survey takers who work as Customer Relations Managers report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Customer Relationship Management, Customer Relations, Customer Service, and Account Management are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Account Management. For most people, competency in Customer Relationship Management indicates knowledge of Customer Relations.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience is an important factor influencing the compensation of Customer Relations Managers. Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $39K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $48K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $58K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $63K.

24x36 Comfort Mats $14.99 this week at Aldi!
laughablemomentsOctober 23, 2012
Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that Aldi has some really nice Chef Mats for sale this week. They're 24" x 36" for $14.99. Don't know if they compare to Gel Pro, but they feel really nice to stand on in my kitchen and I definitely liked the price! : ) Flour and sticky juice wipe right off. (Yup, they've been christened in my kitchen already.) These are not something they carry all the time; this is one of those specials that they run.
p.s. If you haven't tried Aldi yet, plan to take your own bags and a quarter for your cart (you'll get this back when you return the cart to where it belongs.)
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's the ad, see page 4

All Natural vs Synthetic Comparison: Update Jun 8 2011
Here's an update to this described at:
On Jun 8th I took the pictures posted below, but then went on a 2 week trip, so I only got around to posting them now.
In another message I'll give the Jun 23rd update.
It was a cold wet spring in northern California and my deck only gets about 4 hours of sunlight during spring, in summer about 5 hours. So all the plants are small.
The weather just turned warm with summer finally arrived as of June 8th.
Totes contain: Back left to right: peppers in rejuvenated mix, eggplant in bark/turface, peppers in new leaf mulch.
Front left to right: Peppers in bark/turface, eggplant in rejuvenated mix, basil in rejuvenated mix.
Close-up of: Peppers in bark/turface
Close-up of peppers in rejuvenated mix:
Close-up of peppers in new leaf mulch mix:
The peppers in the new leaf mulch mix are doing the best. These peppers did not have any transplant shock wilting. I planted the peppers from small six-pack purchased at the garden center. I planted during a cloudy cool spell. When it turned sunny these plants did not wilt at all and so I left them in full sunlight the entire time.
The peppers in the rejuvenated mix and the bark/turface mix, both wilted when it turned sunny. So they had to be moved into the shade for over a week, until they hardened off enough to be moved back into full sun. I moved them back into full sun around June 5th. I was able to move the rejuvenated mix ones back a few days earlier than the bark/turface ones. None of them wilt at all now in the noon sun.
Although it is not quite clear, the peppers in the rejuvenated mix are doing somewhat better than the bark/turface mix ones.
I have a drip system set up that waters them every day at noon, with 12 emitters/tub.
This result was unexpected. The forest floor leaf mulch mix has done much better than the others. In an article tapla referred me to in a discussion on transplant shock, they stated organic matter does help alleviate transplant shock.
When I saw this result I decided to do another experiment and take the 9 leftover peppers I had from the six packs and put them in cups with various mixes and see if they wilted differently. I had mixes from 5:1:1 to pure clay.
None of the wilted at all in the hot summer sun, even while the tub peppers where wilting.
My conclusion from this is that the leftover peppers stayed well-watered in the six packs for 2 weeks before I transplanted them into cups. So they were much bigger when I transplanted them. So maybe peppers transplant better if they are bigger (unlike squash for instance).
Summary conclusions:
* Organic matter helps alleviate transplant shock.
* Forest floor mulch alleviates transplant shock better
than straight compost.
* Peppers are better transplanted when bigger.

From the Cabot Police Department:
On April 6, 2012, The Cabot Police Department received an anonymous call from a concerned citizen in regards to one of Arkansas's most wanted. The Cabot Police Department was advised that Timothy Willis was staying at a residence inside the city limits of Cabot. Mr. Willis was wanted out of Pulaski County Sheriff's office for failure to appear on second degree battery.
Officers were able to watch the residence for a short period of time before Mr. Willis got into a vehicle. Officers stopped the vehicle and were able to take Mr. Willis into custody without any problems. Mr. Willis was transported to the Cabot Police Department where he was extradited to the Pulaski County Jail.
On March 21, 2012, The Cabot Police Department, with the help of the Jacksonville Police Department, has arrested Raymond Leon Tucker in connection with the armed robbery that occurred on 03/20/2012 at the Valero Gas Station in Cabot.
Cabot Police Department Detectives received a call from Jacksonville Detectives late Tuesday evening. Jacksonville Detectives had arrested an individual for a crime that occurred in their city. The individual that they had arrested was a close match to the suspect that had committed the armed robbery at the Valero gas station in Cabot.
On March 21, 2012, Cabot Police Department Detectives interviewed the individual, Raymond Leon Tucker, at the Jacksonville Police Department. After the interview, Mr. Tucker was arrested by the Cabot Police Department Detectives for the charges of Aggravated Robbery, a class Y Felony; and Theft of Property, a class A Misdemeanor.
AUSTIN, Ark. -- Monday authorities arrested Travis M. Palik for theft of property.
The Austin Fire Department conducted an internal investigation regarding a two way radio that was missing. Upon completion of this investigation the Austin Police Department was contacted. During the criminal investigation Palik, a probationary volunteer firefighter, was developed as a suspect after information from a blog showed him asking for assistance with installing a radio of the same description as the one reported missing.
Investigators say Palik was interviewed and the item was recovered. Palik was released on citation to appear in Austin District Court March 21.
Any questions please contact Chief John W. Staley at the above numbers or at email@example.com
From original post by Max Brantley:
Officers with the Little Rock Police Department spent several days in late January guarding a windswept soybean field near England where Faulkner County Jail inmate Jon Brawner said the body of missing construction executive John Glasgow was buried, only to have ground penetrating radar brought in by the Arkansas Archeological Survey on January 26 turn up nothing but some ancient Native American sites and a little farming debris.
LONOKE, Ark. (KTHV) – Two men were arrested Tuesday for being in possession of illegal weapons, according to the Lonoke County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities say James Stanley Burke, 36, and Steven Lynn Weatherly, 39, were pulled over during a traffic stop. According to the report, when the sheriff realized one of the men had an outstanding warrant, Burke fled into the woods.
Burke was later found by a police K-9 and arrested. Weatherly was arrested at the scene for the outstanding warrant.
Investigators say they later found a shotgun, two rifles and a handgun. The serial number of the handgun had been removed. Deputies believe the firearms to be stolen.
Burke was charged with possession of a defaced firearm and fleeing. Weatherly was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
(Source: Lonoke County Sheriff's Department)
Monday around 4:30 pm, sheriff's deputies went to a residence on Highway 31 North in Lonoke after receiving information pertaining to a stolen truck and camper.
Further investigation led to the recovery of a 2001 Ford F250 and a 2007 Dutchman Victory Lane fifth-wheel camper. The truck and camper had been reported stolen from Las Vegas, Nevada on Sept. 8.
How the truck and camper ended up in Lonoke County is under investigation. The truck and camper were impounded.
CABOT, Ark. (KTHV) -- Monday we told you about James Michael Davis, a suspect who allegedly stabbed two people to death in Lonoke County while on parole.
Today's THV has learned Davis has been in prison at least two times before. The first time was in 2007 for drug charges. The second was in 2008 for aggravated assault, possession of a firearm, theft and writing hot checks.
He was released from prison last September, only to be arrested for the murders of David Linnon Smith and Tracey Lynn Mills shortly before Christmas.
At this time he is being held in the Lonoke County jail without bond.

June 3, 2014
Preliminary data released June 3 by FTR shows May 2014 North American Class 8 truck net orders at 25,605 units, a 14% year-over-year increase and the strongest May since 2006.
Class 8 orders have now had sixteen consecutive months with year-over-year increases. Backlogs remain at very high levels, and OEMs will continue to increase build rates in response to this growing demand. Class 8 orders for the latest six month period through May annualize to 343,000 units.
"The positive performance of Class 8 orders in May met our expectations with the volume right in line with our forecast," says Don Ake, FTR Vice President of Commercial Vehicles. "The recent order activity confirms that the market has some real strength. We do expect Class 8 orders to slow down in the summer as generally is the case, but they will remain above last year's levels."
Final data for May will be available from FTR later in the month as part of its North American Commercial Truck & Trailer Outlook service.

Tinkoff-Saxo's Manuele Boaro was close to taking the win on the intensive 7km time trial of Criterium International. In the end, a mere 2 seconds separated the Italian from the win. Earlier on the day, Jay McCarthy finished 9th on the fast stage 1.
The Critérium International second stage was contested a few hours after the first Saturday, but it did little to slow down Fabio Felline and Bob Jungels who blazed around the short 7-kilometer flat course to finish within one second of each other and claim the top two spots of the leaderboard.
Saturday morning, CULT Energy Pro Cycling took on the 92 kilometer short first stage of the French stage race, Criterium International on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.
As he has multiple times this year already, Johann van Zyl made sure Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung were represented in the breakaway during the 3rd Coppi Bartali stage.

The guys at Southeast Regional Series recently caught up with Brit racer, Daniel Patten who is also a member of WIGGINS and a man who won the SRS race in Knoxville last year.
The Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali stage 1b marked the first team time trial for MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung of the season and the team just narrowly missed out on the win.
Shane Archbold, 26-years old new addition to BORA – ARGON 18 and lead-out rider for sprint captain Sam Bennett, scored himself a top result for his team at the Classica Corsica.
Today's 203 kilometer long French one-day race, Classica Corsica started in Ajaccio and brought the peloton to the finish town of Bastia in the Northern part of the French Mediterranean island. After numerous attacks along the way, CULT Energy Pro Cycling ended up with two riders in the top-10.
The opening half stage of the Coppi e Bartali would end in a mass sprint with Manuel Belleti (Southeast) sprinting to victory. Grega Bole (CCC Polsat) was a close 2nd with Patrick Clausen (Trefor-Blue Water) in 3rd place.
With the Gent-Wevelgem running on Sunday, we've scoured the archives for a look back at the best photos and video action this tough Belgian classic has offered us in recent years.
None other than two-time World Champion and Olympic Gold medallist Paolo Bettini will be lining up among all the fans at the starting line at Piazza Sant'Anna in Pomarance (Pisa-Toscana) on Sunday, April the 12th.

Venetian, Palazzo Being Sued Over Resort Fees
If you've ever thought about suing over resort fees, a Southern California man may be your new hero.
The Associated Press is reporting Benjamin Brin has filed a class action suit against Venetian and Palazzo for failing to cite resort fees until after his June 2014 reservation was booked. While it isn't in extra large print nor included as part of the "starting from" costs, the websites for both hotels do list the fees. At least, they do now. The suit reportedly states that, until a warning letter and a site redesign late last year, the fee was not mentioned at all until after a reservation was submitted. (Venetian|Palazzo fans, feel free to weigh in on that one below.)

Poker Tournament Madness This March, Too
Last-minute buzzer beaters, underdogs pulling off huge upsets, hitting that six-team parlay to make up for the money you blew at the craps table... these are all of the things that make March Madness one of the most exciting times of the year to be in Las Vegas. When you aren't busy hanging out at the sportsbook watching all of the tremendous basketball action, there will be plenty going on in the local poker rooms. Here's a look at some special tournaments series being offered this month:

Check-Out Folio: Diva Diana, More LOVE To Love, And More
There's a lot of sh*t that happens in Vegas and not all of it can make it on our site as a full report. So, every Friday, we take note of some of the smaller announcements around town that may be of interest, too. Here's the rundown for the week of March 2:
You've Got Some More Eating To Do: Las Vegas Restaurant Week returns June 15-26 and only for those dates this year. The event will no longer take place twice yearly with spring and fall dates. During the week, restaurants across the city join together to offer special prix fixe meals ranging from $20.15 to $50.15 with a portion of the proceeds benefitting local food bank Three Square.

VOM FASS Opens In The Grand Canal Shoppes (So, What is a VOM FASS?)
An interesting trend for some higher-end shopping areas around the country are "bottle it yourself" stores. Most sell different flavors of oil and vinegar and sometimes alcohol, but too many are dressed-up, get-rich-quick schemes that buy a couple industrial barrels of the base ingredient and inject artificial lab-grown "aromas" into them. This is very similar to the way certain vodka brands have every meme flavor under the sun (lol at bacon, maple, cotton candy, and bourbon flavored vodka) and generally has the same effect. However, it would appear these are all pale imitations of other enterprises like VOM FASS.

A Legend Of Zelda Concert Is Coming To The Strip
Yes, you read that correctly. There is a Nintendo Legend of Zelda symphony concert series that will be touring the world all year and it will be making a stop in Las Vegas June 10 at Venetian.
The tour, entitled Symphony of the Goddess - Master Quest, celebrates the 28-year-old video game franchise. This sounds both nerdy and quite interesting, at the same time. During the production, The Las Vegas Philharmonic will perform orchestral arrangements of music from a variety of games from The Legend of Zelda universe. There will also be video content from the classic game, as well as the most recent addition to the series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (which is available for Nintendo 3DS).

Getting The Most Out Of Your Poker Dollars
There are many factors you should consider when deciding where to play poker during your time in Vegas, such as what games and stakes are offered, how much you receive per hour in comp dollars, tournament offerings, the level of competition, and so on.
Another factor that should not be overlooked is what promotions a given room offers and how much value you are likely to get out of those promotions. Most poker rooms in town offer some sort of incentive for players in the form of high hand bonuses, bad beat jackpots, "aces cracked" bonuses, or hours-based free rolls. What many people don't realize is that the house isn't giving away free money with these promotions, they are simply taking money that players have contributed to a fund and giving it back out in the form of a bonus.

Our First Thoughts On Venetian's Yardbird
If you're a southern transplant like myself or just love that style of food, Yardbird at Venetian should satisfy your cravings. After attending an evening media event and a Sunday brunch, this writer got a taste of what all the clucking's been about. I'm happy to report most of the dishes sampled lived up to the hype. The second branch of the Miami-based restaurant has gotten high praise from the likes of Bon Appetit, James Beard Foundation and Southern Living, plus awards for its bourbon selection.
When VegasChatter stopped in for brunch, we were greeted promptly but the ensuing service was quite slow. Presented with a prix fixe experience, dishes came out in a very random order (read: in reverse) or were not ours at all (we were offered another table's dishes at several points during our meal). Though we were told brunch would be served tapas style with things coming out when they were ready, the randomness of it all was a little frustrating. (Especially since we weren't told it would be shared plates until each of us had ordered our own thing, and several of us had already gravitated to the same choices. The good news is that brunch is normally a la carte, although still meant to be shared.) Hopefully, our experience can be attributed to the growing pains of a new restaurant. (They also ran out of coffee cups and ramekins during our visit.) These kinks will likely be worked out with a little more practice (and surplus).

Will Luck Be A Lady And Keep 'Frank' At Palazzo?
Though the now classic tunes of Frank Sinatra used to bring out showgoers in droves, times have changed. What was popular then and still respected now isn't likely to garner the same numbers. The Venetian|Palazzo's latest gamble, "Frank - The Man. The Music," is just that. It's (pretty much) the man and his music. Of course, we're not talking just any music, but rather the iconic hits of musical legend Frank Sinatra. His heyday was decades ago, but execs are betting his legacy is strong enough to bring in enough ticket sales to cover the cost of that 32-piece orchestra.
The Las Vegas Sun reports the show, which takes place in the expansive 1,733-seat Palazzo Theatre, will have to sell approximately 600 seats nightly to turn a profit. Though the Vegas crowds these days tend to skew toward more modern shows and nightclubs, hopefully there will be enough interest in this high-class tribute show because it really does deserve to be seen.

Worth It? Breaking Down The Value Of The New Vegas Attraction Passport
There's a new way to save a few bucks on keeping yourself entertained in Vegas. Today, a press release touted the launch of the Vegas Attraction Passport.
The new offering bundles admission to five attractions that may or may not be on your Vegas list -- Madame Tussauds, Mob Museum, CSI: The Experience, Venetian's outdoor gondola ride, and a one-day, unlimited bus ticket for Big Bus Tours -- at a discount of "over 40 percent." The cost? $79.99. We wondered if we could do better with a few clicks around the Internet or if the passport really does provide some value so we gave it the ol' college try.

Searching For Anything But Hold 'Em
Ever since the start of the "poker boom" back in 2003, when an unknown accountant from Tenessee with the unlikely name of Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker, no-limit Texas Hold 'Em has been the game of choice among poker players everywhere.
It's easy to forget that, in the grand scheme of things, no-limit hold 'em is a relatively new game. If you were in Las Vegas back in the 90's or earlier, you would be much more likely to be playing a game like 7 card stud or even a variation of draw poker. While most poker players today are content playing no-limit, there are many who long for the days when this variation of the game didn't have the near monopoly it seems to have on the poker world today. The good news is, if you look hard enough, there are still places in Las Vegas where you can find some alternatives. Here's a look at some poker rooms around town that offer up a bit of variety for those looking to mix things up:

A dinosaur-era fish would seem like a rare gift to most treasure-hunters. Surviving instances of such legendary creatures would make an ordinary fisherman rush to his local university to make sure that the ultimate big fish tale brought him glory.
However, when Indonesian fisherman Justinus Lahama caught a prehistoric coelacanth off the coast of Sulawesi Island, he took another route.
While most would be concerned with the fame and fortune that such a catch might bring, Lahama's thoughts turned to his stomach. He sold the coelacanth to a local restaurant – a noodle shop.
Once in the shop, the 50-kilogram fish once thought extinct since the Cretaceous era wasn't fried, or baked, or breaded. No one had dinosaur for dinner (luckily for them – the coelacanth apparently has quite a disfavorable flavor unsuited for human consumption. Perhaps that foul taste was how it evaded predators these many years?).
But the prehistoric creature couldn't take the pressure of being observed in a restaurant fish tank. It died after 17 hours. Experts who examined the corpse confirmed that it was an unknown kind of coelacanth.
It's not the first coelacanth to wash up on shore – they've been spotted in Zanzibar, South Africa, and Madagascar. But it's the only one you'll find on a menu.
Oh, a peace offering, is it? Very well… What say you trim those gin-soaked whiskers and bring me some plutonium?
The actual facts are quite different from those in the article
1) The fisherman did not exactly know what he had caught while "line fishing"
2) The fish was never sold to the Restaurant but was sold to the Governor of Manado who donated it to the University.
3) The fish was never held in a "Fish Tank" but was kept in a outdoor natural "holding tank" the size of which is similar to a small lake.
looks like an ordinary fish 2 me
tastes like chicken…really old chicken
1. cut it up
2. freeze it
3. hold a highly advertised "eat a dinosaur" restaurant special
4. profit

One High Fat Meal Can Do Permanent Bodily Damage
One Splurge Is Worse Than You Think
by Fitness
Like us on Facebook
If you're standing in line at McDonald's telling yourself, "One splurge is not going to do anything," then you may want to think again. According to a review of new dietary research, just one high-fat, high-sugar meal can trigger a biochemical cascade, causing inflammation of blood vessels and immediate, detrimental changes to the nervous system (i.e. free radicals are generated). Yikes. This could explain why we feel so crummy after splurging on a high-fat meal.
The good news? One healthy meal can help return your body to its optimal state. So think about what two, ten, or even a lifetime of healthy meals will do for you. If you continue to eat healthy, you'll continue to feel good and hopefully never want to eat junk food again.

Really? I've been watching my weight and eating really healthy lately, but today for the first time in weeks I went to KFC and ate like 5 pieces of greasy chicken! At first I thought I'd feel bad (physically), but actually, I've never felt better! McDonald's food always makes my stomach feel heavy, though, even if it's just a salad!!!! How weird is that?

the waterfall effect is something they say anytime you don't have a particular food over time and then decide to have it. like w/ bread or anything like that - you keep yourself from eating it and you have it once and you start to crave and crave. it's bad!

Ha ha that's funny. My doctor had me eat a Carl's Jr. Famous Star before I took a blood test for my insurance company to insure that I'd qualify for gastric bypass surgery. (Reason being I had no co-morbidities but some insurance companies demand them - we didn't know what my health insurance wanted so we covered all the bases before asking.) Prior to eating the Famous Star hamburger w/ cheese and mayo all my levels were normal to low after the burger my bad cholesterol was elevated, the test said I had fatty liver, everything on the blood test was way out of whack. That was eating a burger like an hour before the test. I felt like crap but we achieved our goal. Instant co-morbidity which it turns out I didn't need being obese was enough. I retook the blood test after resuming my normal diet (whole grain, lean meats, veggies, fruits and healthy fats) and everything returned to normal and low levels. I found that shocking that you could instantly adversely effect your body that fast. Made me wonder what the heck damage I did when I was a teenager eating crap for lunch at school.

Everyone who goes to the movies will have seen at least one featuring a casino scene, but more often than not, movies tend to feature people playing the likes of roulette or poker at the casino, rather than blackjack. In the real world online blackjack is one of the most exciting and popular of casino table games, but few filmmakers seem to have picked up on that. There have been a few great movie scenes featuring blackjack though, with these three perhaps being the best.
Rain Man
This 1988 film is probably the single most famous example of a blackjack movie scene, and it also defined the way in which blackjack is usually featured in movies – i.e. card counting. Here Charlie (Tom Cruise) takes his autistic brother Raymond to play blackjack at casinos in Vegas, so that he can capitalise on the latter's genius maths ability by getting him to count the cards. The scene is one of the quirkiest uses of a casino in a movie, as well as being vital in establishing the character traits of both brothers.
Another card counting blackjack movie, this drama from 2008, focuses on the true life story of the MIT Blackjack Team, a group of whizzkid maths geniuses from MIT who make a fortune counting the cards in Vegas – led by their charismatic teacher (played by Kevin Spacey). The film is a morality tale about allowing your talents to be used for the wrong reasons, but before all that, there are plenty of entertaining scenes at the blackjack tables.
Licence to Kill
Bond movies always feature casino scenes, but they don't usually involve blackjack. Classic era Bond had a preference for baccarat (and occasionally roulette), while the new Bond favours Texas Hold'em poker. However in the 1989 Timothy Dalton movie Licence to Kill, Bond gives blackjack a shot and ends up winning £250,000 at the casino owned by bad guy drug kingpin Franz Sanchez.

Style Your Home on a Budget
Use these 5 tips for creating high-priced ambiance with inexpensive elements.
Want an expensive look without the expense? Turn any room in your home into a sensibly chic space with these tips.
- Check out flea markets and garage sales for deals on mismatched chairs that vary in style, size and decorative elements. This approach is perfect when you want to achieve a relaxed, informal feel.
- Use your imagination when shopping for accessories. If the finish isn't right but the price is, think about how the piece can be manipulated-repainted or given a metal-leaf finish, for instance.
- If original artwork is a budget-buster, consider poster art. If you want an aged look that would be appropriate in an Old World or rustic setting, doctor the image to make it look authentic. Mount the poster onto canvas with spray adhesive and add dimension with a coat of modeling paste or acrylic varnish, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Whether used for a chandelier, a display in an empty firebox, or for a tabletop arrangement, consider unmatched candle sets. Mismatched single candles are not only less expensive but more interesting in a grouping than too-similar candles.
- Slipcovers ready-made or custom-made offer unlimited decorating potential. You can change the look of any seating piece for the season or for a special event. It's also a great way to hide worn upholstery or protect an expensive piece. And you can embellish any slipcover with ties, trim or beads to dress it up.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick, in his weekly interview on WEEI's The Big Show, said that coaches have to be "careful" about making decisions about selective substitutions for players late in the game. He suggested that he's uncomfortable trying to protect some players from injury in the later stages of a game but leaving others on the field.
"I don't think that's really a good way to approach a team. I've never done that. I don't think that would be a very successful approach to it," said Belichick. "You only have so many players. You only dress so many players. Somebody's got to play. I think you've got to be careful when you're trying to run a team, to go up to one guy and say, 'Michael, we're going to leave you in the game because we care about you, but Glenn, we're going to take you out because you're really important. You other guys go in there because if something happens to you, we don't really care.'
"Again, I think football players play football. I don't know how, you tell me which guy is going to get hurt and I'll get him out of there. I don't know how you do that."
Belichick discussed why tight end Rob Gronkowski was not on the field for the Patriots' last scoring drive of the game but was part of the protection team while New England attempted its point after touchdown.
"I think in terms of Rob, the end of the game gave us an opportunity to play [Visanthe] Shiancoe, who didn't play for half the season. He had an opportunity to get some more reps," said Belichick. "Some guys that had less playing time, it was a good opportunity to get them in there. I didn't see anything wrong with that.
"At the same time, I can just hear it now, if somebody else was in at wing [on the point after attempt] who wasn't used to playing for the field goal team, a guy came around the edge and dove in there, somebody, the holder or kicker got torn up, it would have been, 'Why was he in there? Why wouldn't you go with the same guys doing it the whole game?' We can play that game all day. As long as you know what the results are, then you always have the right argument," he added. "But, like I said, players are prepared to play for 60 minutes. The game is 60 minutes long. If you can take a guy out or want to take a guy out for a reason, you can do that, but guys have got to play."
There are realities, Belichick said, that require keeping players on the field even late in lopsided games.
"You play the game. Then, if there's a certain point where you want to change the way you're playing it, then you can make those changes, whichever ones you can make," said Belichick. "As an example, the offensive line -- there's seven offensive lineman. You can't take five guys out and put two in. Somebody's got to play. Somebody's got to play receiver. Somebody's got to carry the ball. Somebody's got to do everything. However you manage that, not saying you can't do it, but you've got to give it some thought. It's not like college, where you've got 100 guys standing on the sidelines and you put in a whole new group of guys. That's not really realistic in the National Football League."

The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out.

Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.

DJ, Joe and Pete talk more playoff scenarios in hour 2 and if the Bruins can get in, they'll be a very dangerous team... to the point where DJ thinks teams would much rather face the Senators and are doing their best to oust the Bruins from the equation. It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also. Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate.

This little beauty is up a hill you wouldn't want to be dragging your luggage up, and the shuttle (free) runs only every 1/2 to 1 hour. So what? Deal with it! The views are stunning, you're on holiday, chillax and enjoy the vibe! The hotel is lovely, rooms aren't huge but are big enough, staff are charming and very helpful. Another reviewer said "no free wi-Fi" but that's now out of date, definitely free but issued in 24 hour blocks. Breakfast was interesting, neither betwixt not between I.e. not the full cooked, but a bit more than your basic continental, but not as extensive as the usual European-style breakfast. Breakfast coffee a bit "Americano" for my taste, and the machine squeezed "fresh juice" tasted like packet stuff. Again who cares, straight down the hill (and the walk down is beautiful) there's a bunch of street level cafes along the waterfront with excellent coffee, great pastries and stunning views. And did I mention the views from the hotel are stunning? This is one where you're not staying for the premium hotel experience, but to have a lovely place to go back to after a great day out, and it fits that bill perfectly.

This works best with the light colors and is not recommended with the darker colors unless you plan on encasing them," Becker says.

What's Old is New Again
In her well-researched exploration of the effects of the open office on workplace privacy and productivity ("The Open-Office Trap," The New Yorker, January 7, 2014), Maria Konnikova points out that this type of space "was originally conceived by a team from Hamburg, Germany" in the 1960s.
The team she references was actually Europe's leading space-planning company – the Quickborner Team – and I'm proud to say that my father was a member of it. I've talked with him about his experiences with Quickborner and I'd like to explain some of the fundamental ways in which their 'open plan' differed from the spaces to which we (at times, rather liberally) apply this term today (as I mentioned in a previous blog, Redefining the Open Plan, September 17, 2012).
Top 10 Ways to Reduce Noise in Hospitals
If you've stayed overnight in a hospital, you can probably recall how noise affected your experience. Whatever the sources – chirping alarms, nurses going about their tasks, neighboring patients' conversations, or the sounds of distress – you likely ran a gauntlet of side effects, ranging from mild irritation to sleep deprivation.
And then there were the effects that you perhaps weren't so acutely aware of: elevated blood pressure, quickened heart rate, increased metabolism, to name a few. Add the consequences of poor sleep to that mix – agitation, delirium, weakened immune system, and impeded ability to generate new cells – and you haven't exactly got the elixir of health.
In fact, medical researchers have concluded that the physiological and psychological fallout of noise exposure can slow our recovery rates, lengthening hospital stays when all we really want to do is get back to our lives...not to mention our own beds.
Soundly Grounded
I recently read a brief, but fascinating article in Wired called "Clever Landscaping That Bounces Plane Noise Back Into the Sky" (June 2014).
Airport noise is a global issue, but apparently it's a particular problem around the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam because it's located in such a flat, open landscape, which allows noise to travel well into the surrounding area.
Investigated by CSI
As I've mentioned in two previous posts (Franken Spec and Zoning in on Performance), writing a solid sound masking specification can be quite challenging.
You don't want to leave the door wide open by writing "include sound masking system" (believe it or not, this still happens).
After all, you aren't purchasing this technology for the sheer pleasure of owning the equipment. You're expecting it to improve speech privacy and control noise.
Top 10 Questions About Sound Masking – Part 2
And, as promised, the continuation of last week's post...
6. Will the sound masking automatically adjust to noise levels?
When first introduced to sound masking, most people ask whether it will raise or lower in volume according to what's happening in the space. After all, this feature's been available with paging systems for years.
