It all started with the phrase, "It's not my job," to which customers around the globe retorted, "What do you mean it's not your job? If you can't help me, why are you here?"
Trigger phrases like "It's not my job," are responses that are ill advised in customer service situations. The designation "trigger" refers to the immediate negative reaction these phrases can cause. Although some of them may not personally bother you, research (and common sense) suggests they are best to avoid with customers.
Here are a few phrases to eliminate from your customer communication.
"I'll look into it."
This is the biggest brush off phrase today. The reason: so many people have been told "I'll look into it" with absolutely no result. So even if you say it with the best intentions, the customer is probably thinking, "Yeah, right."
The fix: Add specifics. State exactly what you will do as well as the timeframe.
"Nobody else is having a problem with this."
Essentially, you've just told the customer "You are the problem."
The fix: It doesn't matter that no one else is having a problem. Always respond with empathy and address the issue presented to you.
"We're short-handed today."
Although this may be the real reason for a delay, it sure sounds like an excuse. And even worse, for those producers using this as a standard response, there is a perception of a poorly managed organization.
The fix: Address the customer request in the timeliest way possible. Apologize for the wait or the delayed response.
"I understand."
Joining the line-up as the newest trigger is the commonly used phrase, "I understand." I bet you're thinking, what could be wrong with that? After all, it is important to express understanding. People react negatively to this phrase because it has been said repeatedly with absolutely no attempt to really understand. You may as well say, "Shut up," and we would never say that to a customer.
The fix: Listen to the customer and ask specific questions about their experience. When you do this, the customer will feel understood and there will be no need to say "I understand."
Successfully mastering customer communication is at best difficult. However, knowing what NOT to say is critical to keeping the concrete flowing.

Staff Report
Published Nov. 29, 2012
Capsugel, a manufacturer of capsules commonly used to deliver drug doses, announced Wednesday that it has opened a new quality control laboratory at its plant in Greenwood.
The new 9,600-square-foot laboratory will serve the company's network of manufacturing sites and research-and-development laboratories in Boston and, Strasbourg and Colmar, France.
The company, headquartered in Morristown, N.J., and Bornem, Belguim, invested more than $3 million to create the Greenwood facility.
"Our new quality control laboratory positions Capsugel for future growth in an increasingly complex regulatory marketplace," said Guido Driesen, president and CEO of Capsugel. "Our thorough testing equates to faster time to market as our products are designed to comply with today's strict regulations."
The Greenwood lab is equipped to provide a wide range of analytical and microbial testing, as well as development of color formulations.
Capsugel makes hard gelatin, liquid-filled, and vegetarian capsules used by drug and nutritional manufacturers.
Capsugel was sold in April 2011 by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a private equity firm, for $2.38 billion.
The Greenwood facility, originally built in 1967, reportedly has about 700 employees.
Capsugel recorded about $750 million in sales and makes more than 80 billion hard capsules a year.

I happened to spot Going Raw by Judita Wignall at the library in the new releases section. The cover art had a picture of stuffed mushrooms, some kind of raw burger with bean sprouts, and an absolutely delicious looking raw fruit salad with apples, nuts, and figs. I was sold just by the cover photo. I also liked the fact that it came with a DVD. This is really a perfect book for raw food beginners because not only does it have amazing recipes that actually look and sound appetizing, you also get video demonstrations of how to prepare the food and use raw food kitchen equipment. There are lots of great color photos and tutorials in the book but some learn better with a less disjointed format and the DVD provides that.
Some of the amazing recipes included are:
Berries and Cream Crepes
Orange-Cranberry Oatmeal Scones
Thai Coconut Soup
Miso Soup
Tacos (with a crunchy shell)
Asian Noodles Stir Fry
Classic Pizza
Coconut Curry Samosas
Trail Mix Energy Bars
Knife Skills
Making Nut Milks
Using a Spiral Slicer
Opening a Coconut
I give the book a big thumbs up for offering something unique and sticking with high quality recipes. Some of the recipes from other raw food books look like baby vomit or they require ridiculous dehydrating times. This book balances practical with delicious and I think raw foodies and non raw folks alike would really like this particular book. A+
As I mentioned, I got this book from the library but I have added it to my Amazon wishlist.

Resto 100 is, as always, a list of "essential" restaurants, which is most definitely not synonymous with "best." We strive to reflect a world of dining in a constant state of innovative transition, to capture a snapshot of the state of the food world at this time.
As last year, when we first dropped Charlie Trotter's, we've continued to cull the old guard of the high-end, both as a reflection of the economic times and as a call to action for such spots to up their game. This year, TRU, MK and Boka didn't escape the chopping block. While we don't deny their importance in creating the food scene we have today, there are many other places we'd rather send folks—for example, Sepia, Bonsoiree or Cibo Matto (where, ironically, chef Todd Stein is a vet of MK).
Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand are two of the most successful cooks this city has, but neither spends a significant amount of time at TRU. This is not so much an observation as it's a cry for the fact that we really miss Rick's cooking. We appreciate his cookbooks and that he tried to open a nationwide restaurant chain, but with that not working out, why not return to his roots? It should also be noted that Chef de Cuisine Tim Graham was doing some incredibly innovative work, but was recently transferred to Brasserie Jo.
Boka, which we loved for its Charlie Trotteresque complexity, has frankly been a little inconsistent in its execution on recent visits, and frankly maybe too Trotteresque. We love the direction Perennial has gone, look forward to Stephanie Izard's Girl and the Goat, and think maybe they outshine the original jewel in Kevin Boehm and Rob Katz's mini-empire.
That's not to say you have to be cutting-edge innovative or perfect to make the list. For if you do something old-school or classic and you continue to do it well and you didn't make your bones by being a game-changer, we honor that as well. This year, we added some overlooked classics including Marie's Pizza, Ginza and, much to our own surprise, Hyde Park's Calypso Café. Maybe the biggest surprise was Café des Architectes, which used to be as old-school as it gets. Martial Noguier and his pastry chef Suzanne Imaz are probably two of this city's most underrated cooks, putting out slighty twisted old-school French gourmet plates flawlessly.
Likewise, the trend of informal, casual rustic dining doesn't look like it's going anywhere, and we dig that. To celebrate that movement we've added The Bristol, Paramount Room, Brown Trout, Kith and Kin and others.
The beauty of any list, though, is that you may not agree. So drop us a line and let us know.

Men's Soccer
News: Men's Soccer Can't Keep Up With Roadrunners, Lose 2-1
For most of the early season, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team has carried the play against opponents. But on Tuesday, Rio Hondo College turned the tables and controlled the majority of the 97 minutes (including injury time) in defeating the Lancers, 2-1, at Robinson Stadium.
The Roadrunners (4-3-4) outshot the Lancers (1-2-3), 22-7, and had a 15-3 edge by halftime. PCC forward Luis Flores scored his team-leading fifth goal in the 16th minute on a penalty kick. The play was set up when Eric Chavez was tripped up by a Rio Hondo defender in the goalie box.
Rio Hondo responded by peppering PCC starting goalie Alex Radillo with scoring chances. In the 24th minute, Rolando Hernandez sent a 20-yard attempt off the crossbar and Alfonso Espinoza headed in the rebound to tie it. Rio Hondo tallied the winning goal just seven minutes later as Hernandez again ripped off a shot that was stopped by Radillo, but Makoto Shoji got the loose rebound and knocked it in at the goal-line.
PCC head coach Edgar Manvelyan brought in goalkeeper Gaetano Perez in the second half. It was Perez' first appearance as a Lancer since he played as a starting freshman on the 2006 Lancers. Perez proved to be an asset as he made five saves, including two acrobatic diving stops to prevent Rio Hondo scores. Perez also showed off a powerful right leg. He twice fired long kicks well over 70 yards, including one that ended up as a shot on goal. Radillo, also a sophomore but from last season, had made six saves in the first half.
The Lancers hope to snap a 3-game winless streak (0-2-1) on Friday, Sept. 27 when they host San Bernardino Valley in a 5 p.m. non-conference game at Robinson Stadium. The Wolverines will be a hard opponent as the No. 2-ranked team in the state and undefeated at 6-0-2.

How to Repair a Rusty FenderWritten by Jeff Smith on January 1, 2008 Don't Throw Away That Rusty Fender. We'll Show You How To Easily Revive That Sacred Sheetmetal.
'There's never been a better time to restore older musclecars than right now. Entire '69 Camaros are being reproduced, but that doesn't mean that original sheetmetal should be trashed. Original tin is still considered good as gold, so when it came time to resurrect our midwestern-rusted '66 Chevelle's front fenders, we could have gone the repop route with brand-new reproductions. But instead, the fenders were good enough to warrant saving.
We enlisted the help of Mike Paradis, an instructor at West Valley Occupational Center in Woodland Hills, California, which is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District and offers many classes for any student 16 years or older. The class Paradis teaches is the Auto Body Repairer/Fundamentals course, which provides the basics of bodyworking skills and is run as part of the Industrial Technology Education department.
Paradis showed us how to do a simple patch installation on one of our fenders, but we'll be back in later issues with other solid repairs you can do with just the aid of a few simple bodyworking tools and a little bit of fabricating skill.
Continuing Education
We'd like to thank the West Valley Occupational Center Principal Richard Wormus, Vice Principal Henry Castillo, and instructor Mike Paradis for allowing us access to the school's autobody repair program. While you can learn quite a bit just by doing, every state and large municipality has post-high school educational programs that offer classes in many different fields, not just bodywork. The fees are generally affordable, and in most cases all you have to supply are your own consumables such as sandpaper, cutoff wheels, and paint. The Internet is the best place to look for programs in your local area, so don't be afraid to take a class.
Paradis used a straightedge to mark cut lines in the original fender for removing the rust and leaving only solid metal. To make the repair easier to accomplish, he cut roughly 11/44 inch inside the fender edge next to the door and the same distance inside the fender lip to preserve these complex, curved surfaces. This also improves structural strength. He also retained the bottom edge of the fender even though it was heavily rusted. The patch panel did a good job of reproducing the lower edge, including the rectangular opening for the fender bolt.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The majority of the work entails trimming and shaping both the original fender and a simple patch panel.What we started with was a monkey fist-sized rust hole in the bottom of the trailing edge of both front fenders. Note that the reinforcement panel behind the exterior sheetmetal has also been sieved. We're going to repair that panel as well, but we'll save that procedure for a later date.We purchased two fender-patch panels from National Parts Depot to begin the process. The panel is great because it's actually thicker than the original sheetmetal. But as you can see from this photo, while stamped in the general shape of the lower fender, it is slightly longer than the original. This is OK because we're only going to use the center portion of the panel anyway.Paradis emphasizes very careful cutting. First, cut to the inside of the scribed line on the fender and be aware of the thickness of the blade. Even more importantly, be careful to cut only the exterior sheetmetal, leaving the interior reinforcement panel in place.Here, Paradis has cut three of the four sides, and you can see the fender reinforcement piece underneath the exterior panel. Note the rust in this panel, which will also need attention.Paradis made the final cut along the bottom and then scribed two vertical lines on the new sheetmetal patch that are slightly larger than the hole in the fender. When cutting the patch out of the new sheetmetal, be sure to cut to the outside of your scribed line. This will produce a patch slightly larger than the hole in the fender.Before starting on the patch panel, Paradis used a hammer and small chisel to remove the outside sheetmetal from the lower panel around the attachment hole. He chiseled the factory spot-welds while being careful not to destroy the inner sheetmetal brace.Note that Paradis has left the upper portion of the patch panel in place for now, concentrating on positioning the patch on the left and right areas first. He's clamped the patch at the bottom to the original fender with large Vise-Grip pliers.
Here is where moving slowly and patience pay off. Paradis carefully examined the rough cuts to see where he needed to trim to make this patch a very tight butt-weld connection.Using a right-angle air sander with a new 36-grit disc, Paradis carefully trimmed the top and sides of the patch panel. He stopped numerous times to examine the trim and worked slowly until the patch was positioned as tightly as possible to the fender with as little gap as possible.Here, Paradis trimmed the top cut with only a tiny gap between the patch panel and the fender, which can easily be filled with a MIG welder. The same process was slowly accomplished on the two vertical edges. Note that we are making what is called a butt-weld connection as opposed to an overlap weld. Overlapping is easier but creates a seam that can trap moisture and eventually cause more rust.Paradis used masking tape to indicate the edge of the trim line on this vertical edge. A pencil line would also work. Paradis also emphasized proper use of the angle sander. These units spin clockwise, so using the trailing edge of the disc will ensure the sparks fly off the edge of the metal and will prevent catching an edge with the sanding disc, perhaps causing an injury.With all three edges trimmed, Paradis then cut out the rusted lower edge that tied the bottom of the fender together. He waited until the patch was precisely trimmed to cut the lower portion. This way, the patch fit better.Before tacking the patch in place, we blasted the rust off the inside reinforcement panel to ensure a clean surface and also to help with restoring that piece, which we'll do later. We also then cleaned it with Metal Prep and sealed it with a weld-through primer.Paradis then clamped the patch panel in place with several Vise-Grips to position it properly before tack welding with a MIG welder.
The finish-welding isn't much different from just more numerous tacks. Paradis applied very brief, tacklike beads of weld and worked around the entire patch in different locations to prevent building heat into the fender that could cause warping. Again, work slowly and allow the panel to be cool to the touch in between welds.After the welding was completed, Paradis used the angle sander with a 36-grit disc to grind down the welds. Be careful not to grind off so much that the weld is destroyed.This could pass for a finished fender repair, although we discovered a couple of areas after grinding that need some spots of weld to fill. Next will come a thin spread of Bondo to complete the repair, and then it will be ready for primer and finish-sanding. But first we have to repair that rusted inner panel. Then it will be time to attack the other fender and the doors.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD (WUSA) - Maryland State Police and University of Maryland Eastern Shore Police are searching for three unidentified suspects in connection with the fatal stabbing of a university student Saturday evening at the Somerset County campus.
Police have identified the victim as Edmond A. St. Clair, 21, of Severn, Md.ryland Eastern Shore. He was pronounced dead at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury shortly after 9:30 p.m. yesterday.
The suspects are described only as African American males in their late teens or early twenties.
The preliminary investigation indicates that shortly after 9:00 p.m. yesterday, a campus police officer was parked in her patrol car in the parking lot of the "Pavilion" on College Backbone Road, when a male, later identified as the victim's brother, came running to her police car and reported his brother had been stabbed. The officer responded to the nearby scene and found the victim lying on the roadside next to his girlfriend's car.
The officer saw the victim had sustained injuries to his upper torso. EMS personnel were summoned to the scene and the victim was transported to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center.
Investigators have learned the victim was apparently a passenger in his girlfriend's Honda that was being driven by his brother. Another male passenger was in the rear of the vehicle. Neither the victim's brother nor the other male are students at the university, but both were visiting for the weekend.
According to witnesses interviewed so far, the three were driving through campus when they encountered three or four people walking in the street. Some type of altercation ensued and the victim was stabbed with an as yet unidentified weapon.
Police have no reason at this time to believe this was a random assault. The motive appears to be the result of an argument or ongoing dispute.
State Police are continuing to conduct interviews and serve search warrants as the investigation progresses. Anyone who witnessed this crime or has information is urged to contact Maryland State Police at the Princess Anne Barrack at 443-260-3700. Callers may remain anonymous.
University students were warned of the crime through their campus security alert system. Students have been provided a number to call, 410-651-8484, if they have questions or concerns.
The investigation is continuing.

Awesome stuff, I was looking for this kinda stuff for running my online World of Darkness games on roll20.
Hey everyone! I posted about this a couple of years ago, but the thread seems to have been lost, and my new work is anyhow better than last time I posted here.
I am currently developing a modern day dungeon crawl with high emphasis on horror. The working name of the game is Meridian Hill, since the game is set in the fictional city Meridian.
Strange things are happening in Meridian, and much of the strangeness seem to come from the citys underground: the sewers, catacombs and lost tunnels that stretch almost endlessly beneath the city.
In the game, players will chose from 5 or 6 different classes to play from, and the game is co-op. If you don't work together you are going to die in that damp darkness beneath the city streets.
Thw game itself will be a tile based miniature game. I've written the basic rules and am currently playtesting with so e friends. Thought I should take the opportunity to post some of the tiles here, for c&c. I used to run a blog about this, but it's kind of on hold atm.
Anyway, here are some of the tile.

Awesome stuff, I was looking for this kinda stuff for running my online World of Darkness games on roll20.
Thank you! It is partially wod-inspired, almost like a Hunter the boardgame, but not quite. If that makes any sense.
Yeah I get that. I'm slowly working on my fictional city map for my WoD games lol. This sort of thing is great though for those times using tokens or minis would work in game. As for the board game it'd be awesome to give it a whirl some time. You ever used roll20? You could maybe test drive it with a larger audience at some point on there.
Nice work! The style and quality remind me a bit of Tannhauser. I love coop board games, and I'm a big fan of horror gaming. I hope you make it to market!
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Very nice work, I could easily see this being used in a board game.
That looks awesome, very creepy. I've got a feeling I'd love this game. Are you planning to publish it, or is it just for your gaming group?
If you are planning to get it published, are you looking for someone to do concept art and sculpts for the miniatures? I think this game sounds really interesting, and if the position is open and you don't mind working with a stranger, I can send you a couple of work samples and maybe we could team up?
Thanks for the kind words, fellas!
I haven't checked this roll20, but will do to see if it fits
Below is an image of a samle set up of the game, some different sections and such.
Looks really great railedrobin. I love the colour scheme, textures, lighting and attention to detail - it bodes well for your game.

Obama, Ney and DeLay Also Among Stanford's Investments
February 18, 2009 | As the story behind the embattled investment company Stanford Financial Group develops, we thought we'd take an even closer look at the seeds the company may have tried to plant in Washington via campaign contributions. When looking at ALL lawmakers to collect money from the company's PAC and employees (not just members of the current Congress), some additional, important names appear at the top of the recipient list.
Investment Manager Stanford Was Big-Time Campaign Contributor
February 17, 2009 | Money manager Robert Allen Stanford now has two things in common with embattled investment manager Bernard Madoff: both have come under scrutiny for allegedly defrauding their investors, and both have given significant funds to politicians. Between its PAC and its employees, Stanford Financial Group has given $2.4 million to federal candidates, parties and committees since 2000.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

It would be bitter medicine. A recession would begin in the first half of 2013, reducing U.S. economic growth by about 0.5%. Unemployment would increase. The jobless rate would rise to 9.1% by Dec. 2013 from 7.9% today.Yet, it would somewhat cure the country. The budget deficit would fall to $200 billion by 2022 from $1.1 trillion today; debt/GDP would fall to 58%. Source: CBO

Late this summer, my friend Halli led me through her fading garden collecting flower seeds for me to bring back from my visit. Many of the plants she showed me were planted by her grandmother, self seeding annuals that have thrived for years outside the family home. There were nasturtiums, poppies, blanket flowers, sweet peas, and bellflowers. Some were familiar, some were new, and all got me excited about adding them to my own garden.
Then I got home and life took over.
I took the seeds out of the plastic I brought them home in, but the plate where I spread them to dry got knocked over, and the little slip of paper where I had noted the description and identity of each seed went missing. I moved the seeds to a safer location, and forgot all about them.
Now, here we are, the beginning of November, and I'm feeling guilty. I can't waste this gift, but we've already had a couple of snow falls. The ground is starting to freeze. Should I hang on to them until next year, and hope they are still viable? Shall I give them an artificial winter in the fridge?
To the rescue: what I call my "sandbox" (an idea I think I gleaned from Marjorie Harris)–a little spot of ground specifically left empty for playing, experimenting, and housing the random plants that jump into your hands at the greenhouse. Mine is in a little corner of the front flower bed, out of immediate view, but close enough to where the action is that it doesn't get forgotten. I think it will make the perfect way station for Halli's seeds. Loosely sown on the soil surface, scratched in just a little, they should ride out the winter in the way they were meant to, and in the spring (hopefully) I will have a riot of new faces to sort through.

Shrimp and Black Bean Salad with Cilantro, Cumin, and Lime
20-25 frozen cooked and peeled shrimp, thawed; 51-60 size (Use more if your shrimp are a smaller size)
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed well (or use 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans)
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and chopped in pieces about 1/2 inch square
1/2 - 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Dressing Ingredients:
1/4 cup neutral flavored oil (I used Avocado Oil)
1 1/2 T fresh squeezed lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp. Green Tabasco Sauce (or use your favorite hot sauce or cayenne pepper)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp. ground chili powder (I used ground Ancho chile powder)
generous pinch salt (I used sea salt)
While the shrimp and beans marinate, remove seeds from the red bell pepper and chop into pieces about 1/2 inch square. Slice enough green onion to make 1/4 cup (or more if you're not adding the cilantro.)
Add green onion, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro to shrimp and black bean mixture. Add additional dressing until salad is as moist as you prefer, and devour! (You may not need all the dressing.)
I kept the leftover salad in the refrigerator overnight and ate it for dinner the next day, and it was still very good the second day.

Vote Oppenheimer
To the Editor:
On Tuesday, residents of Rockville Centre will have a chance to make their voices heard by electing two village trustees and a village justice. This decision should not be taken lightly, and I advise all voters to take a close look at the past four years before coming to an informed decision.
In my eyes, the right choice for village trustee is clear. In fact, it is clearer than it's been in quite some time. Trustee Ed Oppenheimer has earned our vote for re-election to a second term on the village board.
Ed has consistently demonstrated that he is a voice for all of Rockville Centre. At the end of the day, he is not afraid to ask the tough questions that need to be asked. His independence, knowledge and meaningful service to the village, not only over the past four years but also over the past 30-plus, has helped make Rockville Centre the outstanding community it is today.
I know Ed to be a kind, passionate and dedicated public servant. Whether it's through his work as a village trustee, volunteer firefighter or critical-care EMT, Ed has proven that he wants the absolute best for this village and all its residents. Ed's proven leadership and experience has made him an asset to our community. Please join me in re-electing Trustee Ed Oppenheimer to the village board on Tuesday.
Cathy Geyer
Rockville Centre
Vote for Glynn and Grillo
To the Editor:
I cannot believe it has been six years since I left office as your mayor. My commitment to our village remains steadfast as I watch my son, Fran, put forth initiatives that keep Rockville Centre a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
However, as we all know, no one can do this alone. He needs dedicated, active, independent residents with foresight to continue moving our community in the right direction.
I have watched Kevin Glynn over the last four years. He has been an active participant in all things positive for Rockville Centre. I believe Kevin has remained true to his fiscally conservative viewpoints while working hard to achieve consensus decisions with his peers on the board.
Emilio Grillo is a highly qualified, active resident who will bring a new perspective to the existing board.

Royals sign first-round pick Christian Colon
The Royals today have signed first-round draft choice Christian Colon, the fourth overall selection in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. Consistent with team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. Royals' amateur scout Scott Groot signed the Royals selection.
The 6'0″, 180 lb. right-handed hitting shortstop from Cal State Fullerton was named a first-team All-America by Baseball America and a Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year Semifinalist. Colon compiled a .358 average with 17 home runs, 68 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 64 games, leading the Titans to the NCAA Super Regional. Prior to his three seasons with Fullerton, Colon graduated from Canyon High School in Corona, Calif.
The 21-year old, born in Cayey, Puerto Rico, played for Team USA's Collegiate National Team in 2009. He became the first player in the history of the Collegiate National Team to earn the title of captain. Colon led Team USA in hits (34), home runs (5), RBI (37), runs (31) and stolen bases (24) and was named Summer League Player of the Year by Baseball America.
Colon will be assigned to Wilmington, the Royals' Class A Advanced affiliate in the Carolina League.
He will meet with the media later today. We'll post a summary of the press conference, so check back!

Attachment 2196
A couple of pictures.
Wanted to send a big thanks to a couple of Eastmans members and Eastmans. I am from Canada and was one of 3 non-residents to be lucky enough to draw an area 30 bull elk tag! I have hunted all my life and dreamed of being able to hunt a bull in a great area. This hunt was a dream come true. What made it even more perfect was that my son, who was diagnosed with Leukemia last year, was healthy enough to join me part way through the hunt. Just looking over at him and thinking about how lucky we were to still have him on this earth, and have that tag in my pocket! well you all get! The country we hunted was beautiful, with lots of elk. I managed to kill a dream bull for Alberta standards on day 17 of the hunt! Thats right, day 17! I was having so much fun I did'nt want to end it! A real nice 6 x 6, a few broken inches off a main beam and a G4 had him right around the 310 B&C mark. As a subscriber of Eastmans, I used the MRS to pick a tough area, not really thinking I would be drawn, but to build some points, and didnt I draw! Everyone, at least once in their life, if they have done anything good in this world for man kind, should be able to experience what I did on that hunt. As always, my brothers to the South were always ready to help. The American people have always been great, I just hope we are as good when your up in our neck of the woods!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Very nice fullcurl0. That is a dream bull for many of us. My prayers are with you, and your son. I am glad you got to share this hunt together.
Shoot STR8
Nice bull.
Sounds like a long, rewarding adventure.
awesome hunt congrats
Good job, congrats!
Congrats, nice looking bull!
Wow....what a bull, and to think about all the others that "got away"! i can't tell you how many conversations my wife and i have had about you and Bo since you left our state. We think about you and him everyday or talk about you two everyday. the hunts you and i shared could not compare to what you and Bo did together....so happy for both of you. Really makes a guy think about what he has next to him.
If ANY of you hunters out there ever have a chance to meet Rob or his son, you will know after a minute of talkin with them that they are genuine people who have a passion for life and hunting. I will never forget the "chance" meeting of these two people... they r certainly a cut above the rest!
hope to see the video that you shot those two weeks, im sure it is just awesome. look forward to seeing you and talking to you in the future.
I think about my time with you and your family often, the hospitality to a stranger, and the time out of your life to help a fellow hunter. I am in your debt. Anytime or anything, you just call my friend.

Super Bowl-bound Ravens Head to New Orleans
Braving rain and frigid temperatures, die-hard Baltimore Ravens fans converged on the Inner Harbor downtown Jan. 28 to send their hometown team off to New Orleans to do battle against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.
Fans donned purple jerseys, jackets, hats and scarves. Elected officials showed off their team memorabilia, as well. Cheerleaders danced and frenzied fans squealed and screamed from the amphitheatre space to nearby restaurant balconies and steps.
"This year our team is on a magical run," said Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who spoke to the crowd shortly before Gov. Martin O'Malley did his part to rev things up. "They said we couldn't beat that team from Indianapolis. We proved them wrong. They said we couldn't beat the Broncos. I'm still waiting for the mayor to pay up and do his dance. They said we couldn't beat the Patriots and we taught them a little something last Sunday.
"Let them keep underestimating our Ravens because that's when we shine the best!" she said.
The crowd went wild.
Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh, who will match wits with his brother Jim, the head coach of the 49ers, when the two teams take the field Feb. 3, called the local faithful the "best fans in the world." He said though the fans would not be present inside the New Orleans Superdome when the teams battle, they would all travel south in the hearts of the players he vowed to bring back as champions. The Harbaugh brothers will make history as the first brother coaches ever to compete against each other in a Super Bowl.
The sendoff would not have been complete without a message from fan favorite, retiring linebacker Ray Lewis, who will play in the last game of his career as he attempts to bring home a Super Bowl ring.
"We did this in 2000 and we are not going to New Orleans for nothing else but to bring another ring back to Baltimore—where it belongs," said Lewis, who has spent his entire 17-year NFL career with the team.
"We love you! We love you! We love you, Baltimore!" he told the crowd, sending the fans into another frenzy. "We are going to bring everything we got!"
After the team departed, many of the fans stayed on at the Inner Harbor, savoring the moment. Though the rally started at 11:30 a.m., many of them had gathered hours earlier, showing up at the amphitheater well before sunrise to get a spot as close as possible to the players.
"I've been a fan ever since I can remember—even when they were the Colts," said Yvonne Chandler-Jones, 46, who predicted that the Ravens would win by 10 to 15 points. "The Colts snuck out of town, but now we have the Ravens and we are going to the Super Bowl!"

Cheap Street ChevelleWritten by on February 1, 1997 Contributors: CC Staff How To Install A Six-Point Rollbar At Home
The theme of Car Craft's project Cheap Street Chevelle has been simple: Build a fairly potent street machine on a real world budget using real world parts. We've skipped the aluminum cylinder blocks, big ol' honking 14-71 superchargers and clutchless Pro Stock-style manual transmissions. What we did opt for is a low-buck iron-block 355 V8 with a hydraulic camshaft, fed by a 750 Quadrajet carb. A TH350 automatic transmission, mild 3.73:1 gears, 3000-stall converter and Hotchkis rear suspension get the power to the ground. So far, Cheap Street has run a best "all engine" quarter-mile pass of 13.18 at 100.23 mph and 12.20s with a 125hp dose of NOS Super Power Shot nitrous oxide injection. For all of our testing, the Chevelle has been powered by pump gasoline, run through full exhaust and driven to and from the track.
Now that the car is getting more serious, we have been getting letters asking for a story on how to install a basic rollbar setup in a street machine. CC reader Sean Florea wrote, "I have a '65 Chevelle that runs in the 12s just like project Cheap Street Chevelle. I want to make the car safer by adding a rollcage but don't want to install a 12-point Super Gas-style cage. Maybe CC could install a basic four- or six-point cage in Cheap Street and show us readers how easy or difficult the job is."
Once again, ask and you shall receive. This month we show you how to install a six-point rollbar from S&W Race Cars along with upgrading the Chevelle with SFI-approved seatbelts from JAZ Products.
To ensure that we installed our S&W rollbar correctly, we turned to M&J Auto Body for guidance. The M&J crew transformed our Chevelle from junker to jewel in last year's Paint & Body special, so we knew that they were good fabricators.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Available directly from S&W Race Cars, we ordered a complete rollbar setup (part No. 11-003) made especially for our '70 Chevelle. The kit includes a main hoop, rear braces, side bars, seat crossmember and six steel mounting plates. The bars are made of 1.75x0.134-inch-wall mild-steel tubing and feature notched tube ends (where applicable).Begin the rollbar install by prefitting the main loop and the side bars to ensure that everything is correct for your chassis. The bar(s) will need to be trimmed slightly, but the parts are generally ready to go. In fact, the end of the side-bar tubes and the crossmember that join to the main loop have already been "fish mouth" radius-cut, thus easing installation. After we trial-fit the rollbar, we removed the carpet, front bench seat and the headliner to gain clearance for the rollbar install. Ripping out the nasty old carpet and headliner was needed anyway because our Chevelle is going to get a new low-buck interior kit in the next few issues. Stay tuned.With the carpet removed, begin the rollbar install by grinding the floor to bare metal in the area where the loop will be welded to the floor (just behind the front seat but ahead of the rear seat). The area must be free from paint and gunk so that the steel mounting plates can be installed with a good, clean weld.Because the mounting location of the mounting plates is in a contoured area of the floorboard, you'll need to bend/sculpt the mounting plates to conform to the floorboard shape. We marked where the plate needed to be bent and then removed the plate from the car to make the proper modifications.After you've properly contoured the two mounting plates for the main rollbar loop, tack-weld them into position. Do not weld them fully into place yet, just in case some minor adjustments need to be made. With the plates tack-welded in position, carefully mark the angle of cut needed to get the main rollbar loop to sit flush on the plate(s).After making the proper trim marks, remove the main rollbar loop from the car and make the necessary angled cuts. Because the tubing is made of mild steel, you can make the cuts with a hacksaw, but it will take plenty of arm effort. We used a high-speed radial cut-off wheel to make all of our tubing cuts, which made the installation process much easier.Once the ends of the main rollbar loop have been angle-cut, refit the loop to make sure that the ends sit flush with the mounting plates. Next, fully weld in the mounting plates and then weld in the rollbar loop.With the rollbar loop welded in place, position the rollbar crossmember at shoulder height. If you add a four- or five-point seatbelt harness (as we are doing), the crossmember is the point at which you'll need to attach the shoulder-harness part of the restraint system.Once the crossmember is in the proper location, have a buddy hold the bar while you weld it in place. Notice the Speedglas welding helmet--it's the trickest thing we've seen in a long time. The helmet has a special viewing screen that is unshaded when you are not welding, such as when positioning your welding work. Then, the instant that you strike the weld, the viewing screen turns to its predetermined shade (number 11 shade in our case). As soon as you stop welding, the viewing screen instantly returns to its unshaded clear-view screen.
After the main hoop is welded in place, trial-fit the side bars. Notice how the end of the side bar that attaches to the main rollbar loop is "fish mouth" cut to allow it to conform around the main rollbar loop. The other end of the side bar will need to be angle-cut to properly align with the front-mounted steel mounting plates.Just as with the main rollbar loop, the side bars need to be welded to steel mounting plates. For our application, the two front mounting plates (one for each side of the car) only needed slight bending to conform with the contour of the Chevelle's floorboard. After you've mocked-up the side bars and determined the proper location of the front mounting plates, weld the plates into place.After the side bars have been mocked up, angle-trimmed to length and the front mounting plates welded into place, carefully weld the fish-mouthed end of the side bar to the main rollbar loop. Notice the thick piece of metal located behind the rollbar loop. The metal plate prevents burning the doorjamb paint, weather stripping and/or door panels while you weld. Remember as you weld that dozens of hot metal sparks will be flying off, so carefully cover anything that you don't want burned or singed.Once the top end of the side bar has been welded to the rollbar loop, carefully weld the bottom end to the front mounting plate. Notice how the end of the side bar fits flush with the mounting plate. The better the pieces fit together, the stronger (and better looking) the rollbar assembly will be.For our six-point rollbar, two support tubes travel rearward (through the rear package tray) into the trunk. Just as with the front tubes, heavy-duty steel mounting plates need to be installed. On the passenger's-side trunk bar, we ran into bit of a snag. The O.E.M. spare-tire hold-down brackets were right where the mounting plate needed to go. But, not to worry--ace rollcage-installer Mark Gallimore contoured the plate to go around the stock brackets. Be sure to grind the trunk pan smooth (to remove paint and gunk) to ensure a good weld job.Just as with the other end of the trunk-mount support bar, the end that attaches to the main rollbar needs to be marked and contoured to fit. In our case, we found the end didn't need to be given the full fish-mouth treatment, it just needed to be arched a bit.After the trunk-mounted mounting plate is welded into position, carefully mark the angle in which the trunk-bar tube needs to be cut. To draw a straight line across the end of the tube, Mark Gallimore uses the end of a ruler to serve as a straightedge when marking.As bad luck would have it, the trunk-mounted support bars didn't go through the O.E.M. rear-speaker holes in the package tray. Thus, we had to cut a small section out of the package tray to provide clearance for each bar to pass through. Notice the cardboard box taped to the back window to prevent any glass-breaking antics from metal chips flying off of the cut-off wheel.After the ends of the trunk-mounted support tube have been cut as needed, be sure to double-check to ensure that the bar fits properly. If it does, begin to weld the bar into place. With all of the welding going on in such close proximity of the roof, you now know why we removed the headliner. Heck, our headliner was complete junk and in need of replacing anyway, so no love lost there.
After the fish-mouthed end of the trunk-mounted support tube has been welded to the main rollbar loop, carefully weld in the other end of the tube to the mounting plate located in the trunk. Our NOS nitrous bottle was close to where we would be welding, thus, to avoid any unwanted explosions, we removed it before welding the tube into place.We wanted to replace our O.E.M. gut-ripper seatbelts with a JAZ SFI-approved four-point restraint system. The two JAZ lap belts bolt to the floor using the stock floor-mounted seatbelt bolt holes. However, to mount the shoulder harness portion of the restraint system we needed to weld on these special tabs (shown). JAZ Products has a variety of different tab sizes/styles, or you can hand-fabricate tabs if you so desire.To comply with NHRA and IHRA (among other racing organizations) rules, all safety equipment must meet SFI-approval. Moreover, to ensure that the safety equipment is regularly checked and/or replaced, there is a code system that indicates when the part was made. In general, SFI-approved items are good (legal) for two years from the date of manufacture.Check it out. Here is project Cheap Street Chevelle (complete with crazed CC test-driver Kiewicz) fitted with the new S&W Race Cars' six-point rollbar assembly and JAZ Products' four-point restraint system. Even though the rollbar adds about a little weight pounds to the Chevelle, chances are the car will run the same or quicker e.t.'s at the dragstrip because the chassis won't flex as much and the car will hook up better. Plus, in the event that a CC staffer gets too brave at "sawing at the wheel" and throws the Chevelle into a guardrail, the rollbar assembly and belts will provide outstanding protection.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Learning to read by using an iPod-touch ?
That's just one of
the ways first graders are getting individual instruction at Patterson
Elementary in Washington DC.
The little ones in Ms. Dominquez's class get
have a program they use called Teacher mate. Students read aloud with a
digital story book on the i-Pod, it records their voice and plays it back to
them to check how they are doing.
In addition to the technology, they get one on one time with
their teacher, and teacher mate also includes volunteers from around the
country who Skype into the classroom to give one on one instruction to the
students as well.
A bunch of fortune 500 companies are giving time
to their employees to do it.
It's a creative solution to the
age old problem of the class size being to large.
Kids are getting the extra
help they need to excel quickly, Pretty Cool huh?!

Creature Comforts: People And Their Security Objects : Almost everyone has a favorite doll, an aging teddy, or an unraveling blankie - either safely put away in a drawer or still lovingly tucked into bed at night. Adults and children alike treasure these creature comforts because they offer security, lifelong friendship, and the smell of home. Through striking black-and-white photographs and first-person accounts, Barbara Collopy O'Halloran and Betty Udesen tenderly document and reveal just some of the extraordinary magic found beneath the worn exteriors of a misshapen sweater, a winking dog, and even an earless rabbit named "Chickey."

(WUSA)-- A three-decade long study provides further evidence that breast screening reduces the number of deaths per year.
The Swedish study by researchers at Queen Mary, University of London followed 130,00 women and showed that screening with mammography only led to fewer deaths from breast cancer compared to a non-screened group.
These women have now been followed for 29 years to find how many died of the disease.
"Breast cancer can take many years to develop so to tell if screening is effective, we need to see how women fair in the long-term," says senior author, Professor Stephen Duffy.
The findings reported that one cancer death was prevented for every 400 to 500 women in the screening group. It also found that 30 percent fewer women died of breast cancer, and continued year after year.
"This suggests that the long-term benefits of screening, in terms of death prevented, are more than double those often quoted for short-term follow-up. "Unfortunately, we cannot know for certain who will and who won't develop breast cancer. But if you take part in screening and you are diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage, the changes that it will be successfully treated are very good," adds Duffy.

RESTON, Va. (WUSA) - It looked like business as usual at the popular Reston Zoo today with children families getting up close to all kinds of animals that live there. But they didn't see a certain Wallaby who used to live there. The animal was sick. And the Zoo's director apparently euthanized it by drowning, which is illegal.
After a five month investigation by Fairfax County police, Reston Zoo director, 26-year-old Meghan Mogensen was arrested and charged with animal cruelty and possession of a controlled substance after alleged improper treatment of a sick Wallaby. The drugs she allegedly had were for euthanizing animals, according to police.
The whistleblower was a Zoo employee who called police last January . Court documents say the employee told an officer he put the Wallaby in a crate, and later saw the empty crate next to a spigot, with a five gallon bucket of water. He said he jumped in a dumpster and found a trash bag containing the dead Wallaby, who was profusely wet.
Zoo vistior Elizabeth Jones said I think she was probably doing what was right."
Jones, who runs the information family website called Dullesmoms dot com, says the arrest of the Reston Zoo's director won't keep her from going back.
She says she's never seen staff mistreat animals and that the animals appeared very well cared for.
Meghan Mogensen turned herself in to authorities on Friday. She was released on her own personal recognizance.

Genre: Horror, Thriller | Run Time: 84 min | Rated: R
Director: Christopher Landon | Starring: Andrew Jacobs, Jorge Diaz, Gabrielle Walsh
By: George Wolf
Covens are fun! Not to join – that would just be poor decision making on your part – but for sheer entertainment value, they make fine fodder. Just ask Jessica Lange.
And so it was with cautious optimism that I approached the 5th installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise, The Marked Ones.
What do we know so far? There's a demon. It likes Katie. It hates Micah (who doesn't?!). It and Katie took Hunter. Back in the day, that demon knew the very wee Katie and her sister Kristi because of a coven. Back to present time, Katie and a weird little boy move in next door to a family, who meet the coven. (It doesn't go well for family.) What next?
We now leave the inner Katie/Kristi/Hunter circle for a moment because the demon is casting a wider net, with the mysterious coven's help. That net has nabbed Electronic Simon Game enthusiast Jesse (Andrew Jacobs).
Longtime PA screenwriter (and son of Highway to Heaven star) Christopher Landon takes on directing duties this go-round. Thanks to his writing beginning with the first sequel, the series has taken on a reasonable franchise narrative. Unfortunately, he is still saddled with the found footage gimmick that made the original so effective.
Jesse gets a camera for his high school graduation, and he and his BFF Hector (Jorge Diaz) film a lot of crap. While dancing with Jesse's dog, they notice some nutty sounds coming from the downstairs apartment – where the witch lives. They investigate. Bad plan.
Landon evokes some decent scares, and has fun with the handheld while Jesse first learns of the otherworldly visitor who is much less fun than he originally seems. Bursting with the misguided belief in their own indestructibility, both Jesse and Hector seem realistically teenaged and their terrible choices actually feel relatively honest given the fact that kids are stupid.
The film takes some time to get rolling, and it saves too many of its scares for the third act – at which point the handheld camera becomes a real distraction because most people would put down the camera and flee.
Note to regular PA fans: there's no point waiting through the credits on this one, as there is no extra scene. That, coupled with the full circle aspect of the ending may be a signal that PA5 might just put a ribbon on the franchise. Slow in spots and hardly groundbreaking, The Marked Ones still manages to entertain and startle.
It's January. This may be the best we do for a while.

Hi all,
I have a test box (windows) setup for Zimbra Desktop - and considering the amount of email being synced - I was wondering... Are these emails stored as part of the user's profile? I am using roaming profiles here, and the thought of adding 100's of megs of emails to a profile is a disaster.
Any thoughts?

Stresses in a Pulley
Application ID: 282
The stresses in a pulley connected to an engine that drives another pulley are studied in this model.
A parametric analysis is conducted in order to study how the rotational speed affects the stress distribution in the pulley. The power at the pulley shaft remains constant, the moment (defined by the ratio of the power by the rotational speed) will thus decrease with increased speed. This means that with increased rotational speed the inertial load increases and at the same time the driving belt-force decreases.

1957 Chevy Pickup Truck - Classic CruisersWritten by on September 1, 2009
People's Choice
Dennis Glass from Knoxville, Tennessee, sent in photos of his '57 Chevrolet Half-Ton. He's had the truck for 20 years, but did not start the frame-off restoration until 10 years ago, which took about four years to complete.The truck includes a 305 Chevy small-block, a 700-R4 transmission, and a 3.73:1 geared rearend.There are five-lug discs up front, new bed wood, bedside panels, tailgate, and various other parts all from Brothers Truck Parts.He also installed a Painless wiring system, which Dennis reports was in fact "painless".
The frame has Eastwood's rust stabilizer as a base and one coat of Rhino bedliner for texture, and he says it worked out really well.All sandblasting, bodywork, and painting was completed by Dennis; the white paint is a Ford color while the red is Dodge Flame Red. The interior and under the hood are two part PPG black. Dennis says the '57 runs and sounds as good as it looks with 2 1/2-inch exhaust. After he showed it for the first time at the local country fair, he walked away with the People's Choice award. Dennis has been having so much fun with the Chevy that he's building a second, but custom, '57. Keep it up!
If you have a Classic Cruiser and want to see it here, email at least six high-resolution photos and background info to the email address above, or mail prints to: Classic Trucks, Attn: Grant Peterson, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870.
