If Goldilocks had a leaky faucet or needed a new grill, she'd head straight for Elliott's. Its just-right size and selection doesn't overwhelm or disappoint. And if you're not sure exactly what you need, that's no problem. The attentive staff will happily point you in the right direction, even if it's to another store.

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 29 December 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18531229-JWC-TC-01; CL 28: 365-366
Thursday [29 December 1853]
Thanks for two letters Dear. And excuse a short one in return. I did not get up till eleven today; having been ill all the night and all yesterday, with something new, and "rather exquisite"—a colic Perhaps what they call the Painters colic—for I had thought it best they should go on, since you were away, and complete their work, so as not to trouble you again; and the smell had been very strong of late days. Or perhaps it was the sickness I brought away from the Grange doing itself out when it had the leisure. Whatever the cause, it could not have timed itself better, than when I was all alone; with nothing else to do. I am now suffering only from the remedies I give myself—plenty of tincture of rhubarb and henbane— So it is not illness necessitates brevity. The Carpenter has been here this week finishing the cloth doors and shutters— Yesterday I was to have provided some sort of stuff for covering the chairs, which are come home from the French-polisher; but I failed thro' this colic; and now he (the Carpenter) sends me word that he will be at a stand for work in an hour or so— There is no choice then but to let him go away or put myself in an omnibus and go up to Waterloo House1 for the stuff. And if I delay writing till my return I should probably miss the post altogether—for the only three times I have been out since I came home I have been up to nothing on coming in but lying down.
Do you know, Dear, I dont like your always saying you are "well" in health. Nobody gets really well in that sudden way; and so you can only be feeling bodily well, either because your mind is so overfilled with sorrow, that you have not a minute to listen to your sensations; or, because you are in a fever of billiousness which passes with one for wellness,—till the reaction comes. I knew that Isabella would make you more comfortable than you are ever made in any other house— She is indeed the kindest and politest Hostess I ever fell in with. My kindest regards to her and Jamie—
Chapman has given me a check for 20£ and is desirous of printing Burns immediately.2 "It is time now to spread a little more salt of Carlyle over the thing." He said you had a tornup copy. Shall I send him Burns? and where shall I find it? If you come on Saturday night you will find the Painters cleared out. They certainly will have done on Saturday. The new room is much better painted than the Drawingroom— We had a heavy fall of snow yesterday which is still lying
Could you not manage to sleep at Chatham Street3 on your way back? I am sure Sophy would be most glad to see you and Alick is there now. You might warn her of your coming 100 Chatham Street

Jewish teachings, values inspire legislators work
September 17th, 2004
One of Peggy Rosenzweigs memories from her childhood in Detroit is that after attending services on Sundays at a Reform synagogue, her entire family would gather at home and the adults would argue about politics.
Perhaps it was those talks around the Sunday table that continue to motivate me, she said to a group of about 50 during a discussion about The Body Politic: Civic Responsibility from a Jewish Perspective, hosted by Tikkun Ha-Ir at Lake Park Synagogue this past Sunday.
Rosenzweig served in the Wisconsin state assembly from 1983 to 1992, and then in the state senate from 1992 to 2003. Now a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, Rosenzweig said, I bring to my position a very special view the teachings of my religious background.
Rosenzweig discussed how the lessons we learn as children come from Judaism.
Therefore, political involvement can be directly related to the roots of our religion.
It makes sense, she said, that people of goodwill who have common concern need to take that concern and act upon it.
Sheldon Wasserman, M.D., who is the State Representative for the 22nd District in Wisconsin and has worked with Rosenzweig, said his Jewish identity has a direct influence on how I approach my job in the legislature.
As Jews, Wasserman said that it is not only important to pray but [also] to take action and be involved, because We have a civic responsibility.
Wasserman said, We as a group have the highest voting percentage of any religious group. He added that Being Jewish is far more important than being a Democrat or a Republican. We have an obligation to be model citizens. We are held to a higher model than other citizens.
Throughout the program, participants asked questions. Negative campaigning was one issue that came up, as the panelists were asked: What do you do in politics as a Jew when falsehood and slander is being spread in the public square?
Rosenzweig said, There is nothing wrong with stating your case. My message is you need to think smarter and do it better and make your point in the best possible way.
When we disagree, we can disagree heartily, but not so as to be too disagreeable, she said.
Wasserman agreed. Hold your head up high and come up with a good message, he said, adding, Thats not the nature of Judaism, to attack others.
Facilitator Rabbi Marc Berkson began the program by passing out relevant texts and encouraging participants to form small groups with others that they did not know.
The program was the first in a series of four Brunch n Learn sessions that Tikkun Ha-Ir has planned. The next, entitled Are We Really One? What Does Text and History Say About Peoplehood? will be held on Sunday, Dec. 5. For reservations or more information, call Judy Baruch, 414-444-3750.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
This is from the new FTD "Elvis in Person at the International Hotel." I thought you might enjoy this, especially his banter at the start.

thought you might like to see the 69 International attendance records
(sorry if you have already seen this.)
Do you remember 2 ladies from England in Vegas (69-70-71) called
MARIA and GLADY'S DAVIES from Liverpool, AND the 3 long reports
Maria typed up of her trips (over 20 pages each).
Did you ever see them, or her Vegas feature reports..
I used to spend many hours with them talking about Elvis and his Shows
I eventually went in AUG-Sept 1972, and again in Feb '73, then followed
an almost 2 week tour in June 74(from Cleveland to Omaha) -I missed
going in 1975, mostly because Elvis was ill at the times I might have gone.
But did manage two more trips in March 1976 and 1977
Also managed a couple of dozen Candid views of Elvis mostly in daylight
during the Tour following trips.
I've enjoyed reading your Memories on the various topics on TCB
thankyou for sharing.. SincerELy Rex..
Attendance chart + plus 4th September 1972 Meeting Elvis with other British
Fans, and 2 girls from Sweden.
That was wonderful Rosanne! I love to hear Elvis talk. That was excellent.
Wow Rex Martin you have some wonderful Elvis Stories to share. I love your photo of you with Elvis. How blessed to have all those memories. Feel free to share them anytime. Kim
Nice one, thanks
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Roseanne! Wow, you are getting great at these!
Rex Martin, thanks for sharing and welcome aboard!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
I love this one - always loved this song!!!
Rex - I've heard of you - don't know where but I have. Were you a member of a fan club from Canada - I think the President's name was Paul???? Or maybe you've published a book???

ELVIS INFORMATION NETWORK Website
This will take you to Part 1 of my Interview, Part 2 is linked from Part 1.
This is the link for Part 3 of my Interview.
This is the link for Part 4 of my Interview.
This is the link for MARIA DAVIES 1969 Vegas Report
(9 more pages to be added shortly)
This is my Feature on ELVIS' TWO HOLLYWOOD BLVD STARS and History.
This is for my Tribute to Maria Davies(see 69 feature above)
This is for the full 1969 Vegas 1st season (all the info~
over 80 posts of details and pictures, and we are only
up to the first week of the Season, -an on-going feature
with much more still to be added in the coming days....)
You need to log on to view all the pictures(many very exclusive)
~Nigel Patterson at ELVIS INFORMATION NETWORK ~
DID a phone interview with Rocky Barra (USA Strictly Elvis) last year.
(You can still read Rocky's interview at EIN)
I knew I was next on his list and in November he phoned me to set up
an Interview. **(Note: some of the pictures are down at EIN due to them changing
Network suppliers recently, they are slowly putting everything back together, my
4 Interviews can be read from the above Link and you will find links at EIN to my other
Elvis features, and the one about Maria Davies 1969 Vegas memories and info.)
In the 1970s he used to receive my
WORLDWIDE ELVIS NEWS SERVICE WEEKLY via his mailbox, so he always
felt my publication was important to the Elvis World.
The phone interview started 7am in Australia (8pm in England) and after
almost 2 hours, Nigel had to stop my Elvis Adventure Stories, due to
the fact he was going to be late for work- Ha! with many questions still
He had so much info to transcribe it had to be done in 3 parts on EIN
the 1st part in November, 2nd on Xmas Eve, a 3rd in Mid January and
then the Extra questions via Email from me in February 09.
If you want to know about my Life and the ELVIS QUEST please take a look
at my interview (I supplied a lot of Pictures to EIN to add to the interview)
After you have read it, please feel free to ask me about anything on
ELVIS that you would like in greater detail
I attended the Riot Show on the 18th Feb 73,
I got warned for Filming in Vegas by Tom Diskin on the 23rd Feb 73
(when I also had a Super 8mm copy of the Hawaii Show from Belgium TV
-almost 2 months before it was shown in the States)
- I had a portable floodlight in Johnson City, which
helped Len Leech(NJ) capture Elvis in a white ford LTcar, and the following
day in a Greyhound bus, on the Campus going into J.City. - and a lot of
other great things, trying to keep up with Elvis.
My ELVIS WEEKLY was published from the Early 70s up to Sept 78
(355 issues) it carries 100s of Newspaper reports, and almost complete
show reviews in Vegas and tours by Elvis fans, inspired by the fact they
could see their Story's in print in just One weeks time. So I have much
details on Elvis, his songs in each show, which jumpsuit was worn, what
matching belt, and scarf, And what he said.. Also we carried reviews
of all releases in the USA, with recording session details as they happened.
Hope you will look at the ELVIS INFORMATION NETWORK site for my
interview, I also supplied just a long report on 1969 Vegas by Maria Davies
with a 1000word article about my friendship with her.
A 3500 word article about ELVIS' TWO STARS ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD
a complete history
I have almost completed a very long Feature for EIN on the JAYCEES
AWARDS, including much indepth detail on all 7 Events Elvis attended
that day, with many photos, and graphics. Finally sorting out which
photo is from which event..
I have many other Investigative reports ongoing at
ELVIS THE KINGS COURT forum & website, going into great detail about
The HOUSTON ASTRODOME - 6 shows and the Two Press conferences
In depth Aug/Sept 1972, including how the 5th September Vegas
wasn't a press conference, but a Press Announcement, and a review
of all 3 NBC mini films of the event.
I have one of the Largest Elvis Film collections of Elvis outside the States
with many hours of Orig: film, (I took 26 hours of Elvis Shows myself from the 64 Elvis shows I got to see.)
I own 26 of the Hollywood movies on 16mm, and was the first to get
all the 68 NBC out-takes on 16mm film to show on large 14foot screens
in Europe. The 68 complete outtakes, aloha, rehearsal aloha and CBS
77, I have the Negatives, Magnetic tracks, Optical Sound Release Prints,
and some as COLOUR CORRECTED PRINTS.
Obtaining the film collection, is a long Elvis Adventure in its own right.
Thankyou for your interest. SincerELy .... Rex....

All I can is "WOW"!!! To have been able to live like that back then was my dream! I was in 5th grade the first time I saw him 1970 at the Astrodome. Once my mother saw him there - she fell in love. For the next 7 years we saw him as much as we could. We went to Vegas 2/72, 8/72, 8/73 and 12/76. Kissed him twice, got 4 scarves and met him once in Memphis. Is The King's Court the same fan club that was around back in the 1970's? I was a member of The King's Court out of New York but recently found out that the 2 people who ran that one (back then) had passed on so I didn't know if someone else was keeping it going. I will be going back and reading about your experiences and will probably have tons of questions for you.
Here's my first question - were you at any of these shows and did you get any pictures?
8/18/72 (midnight show)
8/13/73 (both shows)
8/14/73 (both shows)
8/15/73 (both shows but especially midnight show)
12/11/76 (both shows)
Forever Best Friends
I seem to remember a couple of Kings Court clubs, one in Canada (by Rock
Caille, they had some great photos..) and the one you mentioned..
No this one started almost 4 years ago from Worcester in ENGLAND.
(to view the pictures almost half of the story, you will need to Register "which is FREE")
Its a great very FRIENDLY ELVIS site, that I have been having a lot of fun at.
You really need to look at the HOUSTON ASTRODOME TOPIC ~
(to view the pictures you will have to register "which is free"
(about 80 posts of all info. including a lot about the various Films of it in 1970)
Maybe you might like to add some extra bits yourself. (hope so)
From your Vegas list, we probably crossed paths in the Casino, during the
August 1972 season.(I was handing out a sample of my Elvis weekly that season - took around 1000 with me, even handed one to Elvis from the stage, brought 1 back which Kathy signed, and gave Elvis 3 bound copies backstage). I went with 3 English Friends for 14 shows from around
the 10th August, my first 4 shows close up by the stage, left of centre.
and then the rest in the Balcony (far right front at weekends) and Dead
centre front in the week, (B1,B2 or B3 small round tables with 2 chairs-
directly behind Bill Porter and the sound mixing desk just in front and below
I never took pictures in Vegas (apart from 23rd Feb dinner show 1973 which is another story)
However I did take over 4 hours of Super 8mm film over the 27 shows I saw (Aug-Sept 72)
(at the end of the week, I didn't want to go home, so waved my 3 friends
goodbye, and moved in with 2 australians that had won a trip from RCA Australia -to LA~Vegas and the Elvis Shows, including staying at the Hilton)
So I saw all the various Shirt and pants outfits, with the White jacket and short capes, in August - after he pretty well split all the pants, he only wore the Jumpsuits in Sept 72, and because I stayed in Vegas (had to resign my job-because they had only allowed me 10 days unpaid holiday and I wasn't back at work)
Much to my surprise Tom Diskin waved for me to join him from the Balcony to the Showroom entrance, (on the final night) to take me backstage for my Elvis meeting.. The others had been taken back by Col. Parker....
Yes I would have filmed in the Balcony on the 18th August at both shows
(probably 12 to 15 minutes.) do you remember what colour shirt Elvis wore??
and which song you kissed him and got the scarf ???
Your other dates are all different to mine, although I have many friends
in England and Europe that went on those other dates, most have Tape
Recordings, some have pictures, and a very few film..
My 2nd trip was 5 months later in Feb 73. and then June 1974 tour
just to see If it was possible to follow a tour, with all the Seats sold out
and half my cheques for tickets returned, and could you really still get in
to see every Elvis show, having travelled 3500 miles, without a ticket for
my 1st show in Cleveland, and it was YES YOU COULD, AND CATCH AN
EARLY MORNING FLIGHT to keep up with him, and watch him leave hotels
drive into the Arenas and land (once) at an airport (Bloomington) just an
hour or so after I had. And then catch up on Elvis at Graceland(March76)
biking in and out of the Graceland Gates, seeing him standing with Linda
in the doorway of his smaller Lear jet, and then watch it flying circles over
his home. I hardly slept for a week, trying to keep up with him sometimes.
Yes please look at the ElvisINFORMATIONNETWORK website ~interviews and features and also if you have the time, my many Topics and Posts at
ELVISTHEKINGSCOURT website, I'm sure you will be inspired with many more
questions for me.. Thankyou for your interest.... SincerELy REX
EPS: I tried your U-tube video, but it is no longer available in the UK,
something to do with a copyright problem, not sure if you can still access
it in the USA, YouTube are having a dispute with our PERFORMING RIGHTS and
the British Phonographic Industry about payments for copyright material.

I love reading your stories. I'm about to leave but have to get this in here before I leave. On August 18 - he was wearing 2 piece, multi-colored shirt. We were sitting to the far right right at stage. I held up a little red scarf and he came and I handled it to him and he gave me a kiss. I was wearing a 2 piece white suit with fringe on the arms (YA'LL DON'T DARE LAUGH AT ME)!! I want to say it was during Love Me but after this many years I could be wrong. I think we were the last table on the right....do you have any of this on tape?
When I get back this evening I will be reading your stories - can't wait to read them. Me and a girlfriend from high school were in Memphis March 77 and saw him on his motorcycle - Ginger was on the back with him that time. I can just imagine how much fun you had chasing him all over the country - what I would have given to be just a few years older back then!!

Oh, and the "totally insane" part comes from I once heard a man say one time...
"For those of you who have never seen me will realize I'm totally insane"......
LMP has also stated she's totally insane.....that's where the name comes from.
Forever Best Friends
Thanks to everyone for the comments and a Big Thank You to Rex for all of the info you provided!
I can't wait to get started reading~
one seems to offer repairs on Old Super 8mm projectors anymore)
as soon as I can fix it, or pick up a replacement, will check out to see If I
was filming when your little Red Scarf was waving infront of Elvis' nose..
Yes I did tape that show (dinner and Midnight)
Two photos, from Orig: Slides (August 1972)
The more Multi coloured shirt, Elvis also wore with the White Pants, as
shown on the Green Shirt double picture.
This Green shirt, always shows up much darker on Photos, than it actually
was. Being much more vibrant, and brighter greens. I took out the Red
spotlights on the Left Picture, and enhanced it in various methods, so
that the RIGHT picture is much nearer to the actual colour this shirt was.
(Its also been made sharper with more clarity, than you usually see it.)
this ELVIS GIF I made for Maria's Feature on EIN (long banner version)
Can only upload it as a flat logo the orig: is 1.46MB Motion Animated Gif
but TCB world doesn't seem to be able to handle anything of that size)
The Portrait size Colourful Logo (A4 paper size) I made for a special folder booklet of Her 69 report.

Blizzard announced earlier this week that both the real money and gold auction houses for Diablo 3 would be shutting down soon, and the reactions have been mostly positive. Despite the groundbreaking features of the auction house, its negative effects on the game outweighed the benefits. Specifically, it made obtaining items useful for you pretty impossible and necessitated its use in order to play at any meaningful level.
But why? What about WoW and its auction house and microtransactions? What about Hearthstone; isn't it also "pay-to-win"? I think the design flaw in Diablo 3's auction house came down to not managing the following concepts correctly: "gameplay first" and "economy as gameplay".
Gameplay first
In the email Blizzard sent out regarding the shutdown of the auction house, Blizzard gave this reason for removing the AH:
"When we initially designed and implemented the auction house system, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But after much review and player feedback, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot."

Kurt Busch thinks spotlight tends toward negative
Posted at: 04/08/2013 9:35 PM
By HANK KURZ Jr.
(AP) RICHMOND, Va. - Kurt Busch had shown all kinds of promise with his new Furniture Row Racing team, finishing in the top five in consecutive races and climbing to the cusp of being in the coveted top 12 of NASCAR's Sprint Cup standings.
He arrived at Martinsville Speedway last week 13th in points, a pretty impressive showing for a single-car team in the age of multicar powerhouses _ not to mention a team based in Colorado, far from NASCAR's unofficial Charlotte, N.C., hub.
Busch, the 2004 Sprint Cup Series champion, was doing well at Martinsville on Sunday, too, until a bad fuel pump and then a brake issue caused his day to end in a fiery crash. The car that had been seventh was suddenly relegated to 37th place.
"I was juggling a bunch of stuff," he said, having overcome a flat tire that put him two laps down, a fuel pump that he and his team knew could be a problem later in the race and a spin. And "then it all came unraveled."
It was the kind of incident that has gotten the hot-headed Busch in trouble in the past. He has blasted his team over the radio or taken out his frustrations on other drivers or reporters.
All of this is part of the reason he says the single-car team works well for him.
"Just more of a family atmosphere, the ease of communication," he said of Barney Visser's team. "Everybody, it seems, is all on the same page and you don't have to worry about it. ... It's easier to keep your arms around everybody."
The family atmosphere also simplifies things, he said.
"The corporate side of it can get so vicious," he said, having driven for the multicar teams owned by Jack Roush and Roger Penske. At Furniture Row, "the owner is the sponsor, there's less people involved, and you don't have a group of people checking surveys and things and blowing things out of proportion because of one week where things didn't go right."
Those weeks and the angry moments, he said, never seem to have been forgotten.
"What I'm frustrated with is I'll do the same things that others do, but mine will be documented a different way," he said. "That's what's been frustrating. Guys like, well, no names need to be mentioned, but guys will rip their crew on the radio worse off or the same way as I do, and yet it's Kurt that's always the problem."
Like Joey Logano, Tony Stewart and others, Busch also said it's difficult to be scrutinized for his behavior at a time when tensions are still so high, like after being run into the wall late in a race, or nudged aside and losing a victory on a final lap.
"Thirty points. That's what we lost yesterday," he said. "Where am I going to get those 30 points back? When we come here to Richmond in September, if I'm 30 points behind 12th place, that's that moment of when I was upset."
He's even experienced it from the other side, where to an observer, something seems like much ado about nothing.
"I've been on the pit box watching my little brother race his Nationwide car that we shared last year, and I'm like, `Why's he so excited? Everything's going to be fine,'" he said, laughing. "Well, when you're in the car, it's a little different."

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Why? Because everyone is making cookies. Even people who don't bake turn on the oven around the holidays. Follow these tips to bake the perfect batch of holiday cookies.
Before You Start
I know you're busy buying gifts for everyone, but don't rush into anything here. Take a second before you begin to mix everything together to assemble the ingredients. Make sure that you have everything you need before you realize you're out of eggs. Read through a recipe to get familiar and comfortable with the process, and don't forget to preheat your oven.
Follow a recipe
Unless you're an avid baker and never let the cookie jar run empty, you probably don't know exact measurements off the top of your head. I believe anyone can make great cookies if they're following a good recipe. Start with searching online for the types of cookies you want to make. Recipes with reviews are often very helpful because it gives insight into how the cookies turned out for other people. If you're new to baking, use the proper measuring tools – don't just eye it. Make a few practice batches and test them out on someone with an honest opinion.
Use Fresh Ingredients
If you haven't baked in a while, check the expiration dates on your ingredients. If you think your flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, or spices might be more than a year old – throw them out and buy them new. You don't want to put all of this effort into making delicious cookies only to have your ingredients spoil the batch.
Freeze Your Dough
You're probably pretty busy, especially around this time of year. Why not make your cookie dough on an evening that isn't so busy and freeze it? Freezing the dough also improves the texture and flavor of the cookie. Just make your dough, form several little cookie dough balls, and freeze. When you're ready to bake, just pop the balls on a baking sheet and go! This way you won't feel so overwhelmed if you're planning to decorate too.
Butter is what makes cookies taste so good and it's the most important ingredient. Unsalted butter is usually the best kind to bake with. Many recipes will call for softened butter. It's really difficult to simply soften butter in a microwave; usually you end up melting it all. I can tell you from experience that melting butter isn't the same as softening it – it will completely change the structure of the cookie. If you don't have time to let your butter soften all day, grate it into a bowl and it will soften in a few minutes.
A cookie is only as good as the surface it bakes on. Nothing is worse than pulling perfect looking cookies out of the oven only to maim them as you try to scrape them off of the sheet. Use parchment paper or nonstick baking mats to make the cookies easy to remove. Also, if you are making multiple batches with the same cookie sheet, run the hot sheet under cold water to cool it down. Placing raw cookie dough on an out-of-the-oven cookie sheet will melt the dough and cause the cookies to run into one another.
With these tips you are sure to make a batch of cookies that leaves people wanting more. Let us know what your favorite holiday cookies are!

PEORIA, Ill. - Bradley once again mounted a second-half rally, but visiting Eastern Illinois (2-3) closed the game with a 7-0 run to pull out a 63-56 non-conference men's basketball victory Wednesday night at Carver Arena and snap the Braves' 21-game November home winning streak.
Andrew Warren scored a game-high 23 points for Bradley (4-2), but Dodie Dunson was the only other double-digit scorer for the Braves with 13 points. While the two senior guards combined to make 11-of-20 field goal attempts, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range, the rest of the team made just 7-of-29 overall from the field and 4-of-14 from behind the arc.
Curry McKinney led three Eastern Illinois players in double-figures with 22 points. Tyler Laser added 17 and Jeremy Granger chipped in with 13 points.
Bradley faced its largest deficit of the season, 12 points, when McKinney made 1-of-2 free throw attempts for a 47-39 advantage with 12:01 remaining. The Braves still trailed 54-43 with 7:48 remaining, but scored the game's next eight points and finally pulled even, 56-56, when Warren sank two free throws with 2:11 left.
Sam Maniscalco was whistled for a foul chasing Granger over a screen, though, and the EIU point guard sank both free throws with 1:47 left to give the Panthers a lasting lead. The Braves committed two of their season-high 23 turnovers and missed their final four field goal attempts in the last 1:35 to stall their comeback bid.
The loss was just Bradley's third in 53 all-time November home games.
Bradley will return to action Tuesday when the Braves make the first of two trips to the state of North Carolina in a nine-day period. Bradley will take on Western Carolina at 6 p.m. Tuesday, then after hosting Utah Dec. 4 in the second annual Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge Series, the Braves will return to the Tar Heel State for a Dec. 8 clash at #1 Duke.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: New orders seem to have become the new normal for Capstone Turbine (NASDAQ:CPST). Shares of the microturbine maker rallied as much as 21% last week, backed largely by a fresh order. But the shares had already hit their five-year high on March 11, a day before the company announced the order.
So what: The market's excitement spilled over from the first week of March when Capstone announced orders for two C800 and one C1000 turbines for installation at a couple of Southern California hospitals. That may sound like a small number at first blush, but since C800 and C1000 are built by combining the 200-kilowatt turbine, it effectively was an order for 13 C200s. Also note that the C1000 and C800 series together accounted for nearly 44% of Capstone's revenue from microturbine products for the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2013.
Last week's order was bigger both by number and in terms of the market that it caters to. Capstone received orders for 50 C65 microturbines from North American oil and gas producers operating in key plays including the Eagle Ford, Permian, San Juan, and Wattenberg.
Now what: Repeat orders from oil and gas companies show that Capstone is rapidly gaining traction in the lucrative and high-potential sector. Here are two interesting facts that you should know:
- The oil, gas, and natural resources sector accounts for nearly 60% of Capstone's shipments.
- Capstone's existing customer list includes some of the biggest industry names, including Chesapeake Energy, Chevron, Anadarko Petroleum, Hess, LINN Energy, and Marathon Oil.
Clearly, Capstone Turbine is on a roll. A rapidly growing order book even pushed the company's top line and gross margin to record highs in its last quarter. If the pace continues, Capstone should break even soon.
While Capstone investors had a valid reason to celebrate last week, one order wasn't enough to justify the massive rally in the share price. That may explain why the shares ended in the red yesterday, despite Capstone announcing its first-ever order from the United Kingdom: the British Royal Air Force wants to try out a C200 turbine.
But that was yesterday, and Capstone shares are back in action this morning; it looks like the stock doesn't need to take a breather so soon.

Hi Martin
The flaw is lovely and we have had a great time in it. The location is perfect to spend some days in Edinburgh.
Thanks a lot for everything
Very cozy and clean apartment. In the middle of Edinburgh, and therefore very central. Very good care on the part of the landlord, by handing over the keys to the directions all worked out wonderfully. In this way, a thank you to Martin for the welcome wine and pastries.
Sehr gemütliche und saubere Wohnung. Mitten in Edingburgh und daher sehr zentral gelegen. Sehr gute Betreuung von Seiten des Vermieters, von der Schlüsselübergabe bis zu den Wegbeschreibungen hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Auf diesem Weg ein Dankeschön an Martin für den Willkommenswein und das Gebäck.
Everything perfect, thoroughly recommended in the center, clean and complete !!!!
Todo perfecto, completamente recomendable en el centro, limpio y completo!!!!
Very nice appartment very well located in the center of Edinburgh. Ideal to visit Old Town and, of course, the castle.
To be noted: 4th floor with no lift - a bit noisy (noise from traffic in the street + from the pub especially on Saturday nights!)
I had the most wonderful stay at Martins´flat in the heart of Edinburgh. Communication with Martin and his staff was always reliable. The flat was amply furnished, had all the amenities that one might need during a stay and most of all had this lovely chimney which together with a good cup of tea had a magic of its own. Martin proved to be very flexible and understanding when I had to postpone my visit due to a close down of the airport. All in all I would highly recommend Martin as a trustworthy landlord. Thanks again for this nice experience. Thomas / Cologne
Skøn, lys lejlighed med fantastisk central beliggenhed i Edinbourg, ved Royal Mile. Gåafstand til alt. Bus 35 går fra Royal Mile til lufthavnen. Nemt og billigt. Vi nød den sidste aftensol på den fælles tagterrasse med udsigt over byen og Arthurs Seat. Anbefales.
absolutamente genial, estupenda ubicación en el mismo centro de la old town, apartamento limpio y cuidado, con mantas sabanas toallas... lo recomiendo 100%
Stayed here for the second time and felt like home! Great location, absolutely recommend staying here!
For several days in May, my friend and I had a very comfortable stay here in Edinburgh's Old City. This well-maintained apartment had all of my favorite amenities and was ideally located for excursions to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, and whisky tastings. Even before we arrived, the nice man who owns this snug little place (which was surprisingly quiet), kindly made sure that we had milk for our tea. Two other advantages are these: if you are not dragging excessive luggage, you can walk here easily from the train station, and the bus to the airport (cheap!) stops about a block from Bull's Close.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Most of you may have missed out on getting the oh-so-awesome Nexus 4 when it sold out in a matter of just minutes last week, but it looks like the 16GB Nexus 10 is in stock with both the US and AU Google Play stores.
The 16GB Nexus 10 is available, but the 32GB version is not. I'm guessing they all got scooped up in the Nexus 10 launch madness - but hey, if you're like me and don't use much of the internal storage - this is a great time to jump in and get one.
Check your Google Play store, and if you want to purchase one I'd say jump in now, because once the news is out - they might sell awfully quickly.

Midrange Samsung Galaxy Frame to get announced during MWC
The Samsung Galaxy Young that leaked yesterday won't be the only new device that the Korean company will bring to Mobile World Congress 2013. That's pretty much to be expected, of course, since each year Samsung has announced a myriad of new smartphones at the industry's biggest trade show.
This time around, the Samsung Galaxy Frame (model number GT-S6810) will join the party too. It will be a midrange offering. While no explicit specs have been leaked yet, expect it to play in the same league as the Galaxy Ace or Galaxy Mini. It will become available at the end of March, and will only be offered in 'Pearl White'.
And… that's everything there is to know about the Galaxy Frame for now. We'll be sure to let you know when we find out anything more about this device, naturally.
With MWC basically two months away now, expect leaks about devices that will be unveiled there to intensify with each day that goes by.

Tour de Cure Tuesday: Kris vs. Katie
Submitted by Katie Macarelli on
Dear Colorado Cyclists,
Please join our 303cycling team this year as we ride in the Tour de Cure Colorado. All riders on our team will get our custom made Tour de Cure Polar water bottle and more. We know that everyone has busy lives and limited resources so pleases take the time to consider how much of a positive impact your time and commitment will help those who fight this disease every day. Colorado is fortunate to have many wonderful bike tours almost every weekend of the summer but it is this one we ask you join us, team 303cycling and me personally, Kris Thompson, on this weekend of August 16 in Longmont for the Tour de Cure ride. If you will not be able to join us, your support is still greatly appreciated. By making a donation or joining our team, you will be helping the Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.
Thank you,
Kris Thompson
Now a little from me. I second everything Kris says, but I'd like to add (while Kris is on vacation) that this is a definitely a contest...whether he knows it or not. Even though we are on the same "team" so to speak, I'd still like to beat Kris's fundraising efforts. And after all, it's for a good cause (and I have no doubt that I'm a better good-causer than Kris).
I'm also really looking forward to riding as a 303 Team again. This can be an opportunity to rebuild our employer/employee friendship that was...(ahem) slightly damaged during the recent Golden Gran Fondo. Kidding. I've been working on my heckles all summer since the Golden Gran Fondo, in preparation for this ride...and cross season. Honestly, joining us for the Tour de Cure CO ride on August 16th will be more than worth the price of admission, so to speak. *For those of you who DO decide to ride with us, please note that I'm an excellent drafting partner. As Kris said, "Wow! It's like I'm pedaling through nothing back here! Like I'm on a cloud! You are a semi-truck!"
If you DO decide to donate to our team (and if this were the case, we'd be very grateful) you might want to be a little more educated when you make your choice.
Kris's 303 Bio
Katie's 303 Bio Same link, just scroll down.
Strengths on the bike:
Kris-climbing, and asking really annoying questions during climbs.
Katie- whining so much about the climbs that it forces everyone around her to slow down to the point of exhaustion for the first 45 miles, then dropping the hammer on the flats and descents.
Bike discipline of choice:
Kris-mountain bike
Katie-cx bike
Beer of choice:
Kris-I don't really know, but I once saw him drink a Shock Top. Guys. A SHOCK TOP.
Katie-Almond Chocolate Stout from Cannonball Creek Brewing Company. Mmmmm.
"Better good-causer" proof:
Kris- He is very patient with my technology questions for 303 and he commutes to work on an E-bike (about which, I tease him mercilessly).
Katie- This is purely hypothetical, but if we were on the Titanic as it was sinking, first, I'd brilliantly heckle the orchestra, THEN I'd save us both because I'm a fantastic swimmer and an ex-lifeguard.
So with that, make your choice. And, yes, I may have used a little bit of humor in this article, but I fully understand the severity of this cause. We really DO hope you decide to join us both for the ride and to help find a cure for diabetes!

Keurig coffee maker issues and warranty - Bed Bath and Beyond can help
The pods are anywhere from $7.99 to $15.99 per box. Typically 18 pods per box is usual. They are not all created equally. If you get pods that leech grounds into the coffee or produce a less than average size cup, call the manufacturer. Green Mountain, for instance, will send you a replacement box if you call with an issue. You will need to give them some info on where you bought it, but they will take care of you.
Have you seen the "descale" message pop up on your brewer? If so then you know that something is wrong. Typically it means there is build up in the lines that needs to be cleaned out. Usually caused by hard water or minerals clogging up the works. This can be done with vinegar and a toothpick and works well in most cases.
1. Simply run a full resevoir of vinegar through, followed by a couple of just water.
2. Then open the pod holder and with a toothpick, gently place it inside the hollow of the
puncture needle and swish it around to get any grounds or build up out.
3. Now run a few cycles of water until no debris is in the cup.
If descale returns or if you notice the maker is "short cupping" then you will need to call Keurig. They will troubleshoot the issue and replace the unit if it is in warranty. But what if it is past the 1 year mark? Well if you got it at Bed Bath and Beyond, return it to them. Tell them it is short cupping and Keurig support was unable to resolve the issue. I have been contacted by several people and verified this with a local store. No receipt needed, just bring in the old unit and they will swap for the same model. Thats a $149.99 savings! You might want to call before hand and just make sure they have some in stock and are ok with doing that. As with any return policy, the rules that are bent or broken depend on your approach and the person behind the counter.
13 comments:
Even if you didn't buy it there, they will replace it. They told my friend they have a contract with Keurig. She brought her old, broken one in and they told her to go pick out a new one. They didn't even care which one she picked!ReplyDeleteReplies
Incorrect. We didn't purchase our's from BBB, took it back and was given a brand new machine. We have a friend who did the same thing with the same results.ReplyDeleteReplies
I took my coffee maker to BBB, it was a gift from my children, but they wouldn't take it. They said my children bought it at Walmart and I needed to go there. Walmart told me they wouldn't take it back because it had been past 90 days. I will never buy there again.Delete
What if you do not have the box when you are returning it?ReplyDelete
Will BBB take it back? Anyone suggestions is appreciated.Replies
Just took ours back w/o box, no problem.Delete
Not a bad price on the coffee pods. Where do you buy them from?ReplyDelete
Super grateful for your toothpick/vinegar tip! It totally worked on my slow dripping Keurig! ☺ReplyDelete
I purchased a keurig and I have to re-start the keurig. 3 times to get 1 cup of coffee I just purchased quite a few of the lrg boxes of the pods for the holidays and I will have friends comming from out of town and hopefully I can get the keurig working if I can get some help with the problem this would be great. Can BBB help with thi problem?ReplyDelete
Is there a particular number you need to call for BBB in order to get a replacement? This is my third one and have not had this problem before.ReplyDelete

|The Pew Research Center has released a report on surveys conducted exploring the unity and diversity of the world's Muslims looking at areas of doctrine, religious practice, religious commitment, and the boundaries of religious identity and religious practice.
On the report's aims and methodology:
This report by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life seeks to describe both the unity and the diversity of Islam around the globe. It is based on more than 38,000 face-to-face interviews conducted in over 80 languages with Muslims in 39 countries and territories that collectively are home to roughly two-thirds (67%) of all Muslims in the world. The survey includes every country that has a Muslim population of more than 10 million, except those (such as China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria) where political sensitivities or security concerns prevented opinion research among Muslims.
The survey was conducted in two waves. Fifteen sub-Saharan African countries with substantial Muslim populations were surveyed in 2008-2009, and some of those findings previously were analyzed in the Pew Forum report "Tolerance and Tension: Islam and Christianity in Sub-Saharan Africa." An additional 24 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe were surveyed in 2011-2012; those results are published here for the first time. This report on religious beliefs and practices, however, is just the first of two planned analyses of the survey data. The Pew Forum plans to issue a second report, focusing on Muslims' social and political attitudes, in late 2012 or early 2013.
From the report's executive summary:
"The world's 1.6 billion Muslims are united in their belief in God and the Prophet Muhammad and are bound together by such religious practices as fasting during the holy month of Ramadan and almsgiving to assist people in need. But they have widely differing views about many other aspects of their faith, including how important religion is to their lives, who counts as a Muslim and what practices are acceptable in Islam, according to a worldwide survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life.
"[I]n addition to the widespread conviction that there is only one God and that Muhammad is His Prophet, large percentages of Muslims around the world share other articles of faith, including belief in angels, heaven, hell and fate (or predestination). While there is broad agreement on the core tenets of Islam, however, Muslims across the 39 countries and territories surveyed differ significantly in their levels of religious commitment, openness to multiple interpretations of their faith and acceptance of various sects and movements.
"Some of these differences are apparent at a regional level. For example, at least eight-in-ten Muslims in every country surveyed in sub- Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia say that religion is very important in their lives. Across the Middle East and North Africa, roughly six-in-ten or more say the same....Some of these differences are apparent at a regional level. For example, at least eight-in-ten Muslims in every country surveyed in sub- Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia say that religion is very important in their lives. Across the Middle East and North Africa, roughly six-in-ten or more say the same.
"Generational differences are also apparent. Across the Middle East and North Africa, for example, Muslims 35 and older tend to place greater emphasis on religion and to exhibit higher levels of religious commitment than do Muslims between the ages of 18 and 34...And the survey finds that in one country – Russia – the general pattern is reversed and younger Muslims are significantly more observant than their elders.
"There are also differences in how male and female Muslims practice their faith...And there are no consistent differences between men and women when it comes to the frequency of prayer or participation in annual rites, such as almsgiving and fasting during Ramadan.
"In most countries surveyed in the region, at least 40% of Sunnis do not accept Shias as fellow Muslims. In many cases, even greater percentages do not believe that some practices common among Shias, such as visiting the shrines of saints, are acceptable as part of Islamic tradition."

It's a good thing the pocket on the See by Chloé Polka-dot Fabric Belt ($45) is too small to make it a fanny pack. We are sternly against fanny packs (for obvious reasons). The fun colors & tapered shape of this belt makes it a stand out with everything from a tunic & leggings to a cute shirtdress. Another victory for See by Chloé!

FULLERTON, Calif. – Jason Monda's two-run single in the top of the 11th inning provided Washington State a 9-7 victory over No. 1 Cal State Fullerton, Saturday at Goodwin Field.
The rally started with a one-out single by Collin Slaybaugh. Nick Tanielu followed with a single, one of his career-high four hits, and freshman Cameron Frost walked to load the bases. Willie Kuhl, the fourth Cal State Fullerton (1-1) pitcher, relieved Koby Gauna (0-1).
After Kuhl recorded the second out on a fielder's choice off the bat of P.J. Jones, Monda drove a ball through the left side for the game-winning hit for the Cougars (1-1).
Freshman Ian Hamilton (1-0) set the Titans down in order in the 11th to finishing off a three-shutout inning performance that earned him the victory.
"Jason (Monda) wasn't swinging the bat the way he wanted to early in the ballgame, but he came up big in the end," Cougar Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. "Ian (Hamilton) is not your typical freshman and he hasn't been since he showed up on campus. He has calmness about him and has stuff to go with it."
The Cougars took a 1-0 lead with a run in the second. Ian Sagdal reached on an error with one out. After Ben Roberts singled to send Sagdal to third, Trace Tam Sing delivered a sacrifice fly.
The Titans responded in the home half of the second with three runs on three hits while taking advantage of a Washington State error. The Cougars regained the lead at 4-3 with three runs in the third.
With one out, Slaybaugh reached on an error. Tanielu and Yale Rosen followed with back-to-back doubles to tie the game. After Rosen moved to third on an error, P.J. Jones plated the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly.
The Cougars added to their lead with three runs in the sixth. Washington State loaded the bases with one out on singles by Sagdal and Ben Roberts, followed by a walk to Tam Sing. After Titans' starter Justin Garza struck out Trek Stemp for the second out, Slaybaugh greeted reliever Tyler Peitzmeier with a two-run single. Tanielu capped the rally with an RBI-single to give the Cougars a 7-3 advantage.
Washington State starter Tanner Chleborad went five innings and gave up three runs, one earned, before turning the game over to the bullpen.
The Titans closed within 7-5 in the bottom of the sixth with two runs off Cougar reliever Jacob Schroeder. Cal State Fullerton pushed across another run in the seventh on two-straight singles off Joe Pistorese and a run-scoring hit against Sam Triece.
Cal State Fullerton tied the game in the eighth with an unearned run off Triece. An infield hit and a throwing error put the leadoff man on second. A wild pitch and a ground out brought home the equalizer.
Hamilton came on to pitch the ninth and yielded a one-out triple on a ball that Stemp claimed to have caught while crashing into the wall in left-center field. Hamilton then issued back-to-back walks, the second one intentional, before inducing a 1-2-3, ending-inning double play that forced extra innings.
The three-game series with the Titans concludes, Sunday with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.

With the changing trends of customer service in the sector, self service has emerged as one of the most popular trends being opted for by customers. The want to resolve issues and inquiries themselves.
According to statistics, around 72% of the customer market opts for self-service compared to other means of resolving their problems, like calling a company or making contact via email. But a report states that only around 52% of the client market is actually able to find any relevant information about the issue for which they seek a solution.
As customer preferences are changing, it is important to ensure that your company is able to meet their needs, and allow them resolve their issues or questions the way they want.
Most customers have been known to abandon an online service center, regardless of how enticing the background and features are, if they do not offer information in accordance with the customer demands. A company needs to ensure that they provide their customers acute knowledge, as well as a pleasant customer journey, through updated and informational content.
Following are some steps to help you create a rewarding and highly successful self-service experience for your clients.
Periodic Evaluation Of Content
It is very important to ensure a periodic review of the content uploaded on your website and anywhere else on the internet, as most articles have an expiry date and are liable to become outdated after a period of time.
As product specifications, requirements, details and offered features and benefits change over time, it becomes necessary to evaluate the written content and update it to the latest requirements for maximum effectiveness.
Improvement Of Knowledge Articles
You need to know if the content and information you have created and uploaded for the assistance of your clients is helpful or not. Include a rating option with each article to gauge your target market's satisfaction with the provided content, and to ensure whether the article is engaging and informative as per client's needs or not.
Ensure Compatibility With Multiple Device Types
It is very important to make sure that your customer support center is compatible with a variety of different devices, making it convenient for the target market to easily access the site and browse it to efficiently handle their needs.
A support center which can be simply accessed by a number of devices is sure to ensure client satisfaction, as they would be able to retrieve all kinds of informational content about a product or service offering anytime and anywhere they want.
Keep Customer Journey Stage In Mind
It is an important necessity to ensure that your support center is designed keeping the customer journey and pathway in mind. It is significant to make sure that the layout of the system ensures easy access to the required information, without any trouble to the client.
A customer, who would experience difficulty in gaining access to a knowledgeable article to resolve their questions about a service offering, is sure to remain dissatisfied, posing a great risk of switching over to a competitor.
Therefore, it is important to ensure a satisfactory support centre service experience to convert potential clients into loyal customers.

As the Seahawks wait for the Jared Allen drama to end, another report Saturday linked them to mercurial receiver DeSean Jackson, who apparently is being shopped by the Philadelphia Eagles in advance of the team possibly releasing him.
While some fans jumped all over the idea of the Hawks adding Jackson, the simple fact is: The team won't be trading for him or signing him if he is cut.
This was just another instance of the Seahawks doing their due diligence. As coach Pete Carroll said last year: "We can't always act on them, but we're involved in every single transaction that we can possibly be involved with."
Jackson is just the latest in a long line of talented but narcissistic wide receivers to come through the league – it has been a plague of sorts.
Carroll and Schneider are always willing to check out talented players – even if they come with baggage -- and sometimes add them.
In the past they checked into trading for Brandon Marshall and Vincent Jackson. They actually signed Braylon Edwards and Terrell Owens (he didn't make the team). And this offseason, they reportedly investigated longtime head case Steve Smith and now Jackson.
Jackson is coming off his best season of six in Philadelphia: 82 catches, 1,332 yards, nine touchdowns. But he is known as an immature malcontent, and it is still stunning to think the Eagles gave him a five-year, $51 million contract in 2012 after he pouted his way through a horrible 2011 season.
No team in its right mind is going to give the Eagles a draft pick to take on Jackson's $10.5 million salary. But if he were willing to redo his deal for a new team, a trade could happen. The New York Jets, New England, San Francisco and Carolina reportedly are interested.
But count the Hawks out. They gave a ton of money to Percy Harvin last year and seem very unlikely to do it again with Jackson or anyone else, especially when the draft offers an amazingly deep receiver class.
It would be surprising – and stupid -- if the Hawks ended up making room for a chucklehead like Jackson, no matter how talented he might be when he wants to be.

ChelanCounty PUD Officials have announced the retirement of longtime PUD leader, Wayne Wright – and the appointment of External Affairs Director, Jeff Smith to join the PUD's Senior Management Team as Managing Director of District Services after Wright's retirement.
Wright, a former KOZI personality, has been with the PUD for more than 33 years and will retire at the end of July.
Chelan PUD General Manager, John Janney, told KOZI listeners that choosing a replacement for Wright was no easy task.
Smith, who will be filling a majority of Wright's duties, has been with the PUD for more than 24 years -, something Janney says will prove to be very beneficial for the district.

TC TO SAMUEL LAURENCE ; 6 November 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451106-TC-SL-01; CL 20: 44-45
Chelsea, 6 Novr 1845—
Dear Lawrence,
I yesterday, some hours after your Letter arrived, got sight of the Engraver and his Plate; and also, for the first time, of your Sketch. The Sketch is Capital,—the right face, or very near it, I have no doubt! I have just been begging it from Chapman, to have it put in a frame here; I hope it will prove attainable. It is really very good.
The Plate too, I am happy to say, will probably prosper after all! It is already much improved; the man (Francis Holl, 11. Cornwall Place, Brecknock Street, New Camden Town) is to come down hither and see the mask &c before he finish.1— The Mask lies in your Face too, only a little overlaid; also another Engraving (by Vertue) from Cooper,2 which I have here. The principal defect I noticed in your Sketch was a paring-off of the angle of the jaw; the Mask has an under-jaw like a lion's! The attitude of your head does not shew that much; and a little touch of shading I suppose would make all the difference. Further it did not seem to me very apparent whether you had given a slight moustache on the upper lip, or none. The Mask, and all good Portraits that I have seen, give not only a Charles-First on the underlip, but a modest soldier's-moustache on the upper. Lastly your nose was a little too big,—the right kind of nose too; but uncertain whether it was not going to somewhat of a bottle-nose—which is not the character of it, tho' under certain aspects a miniature might easily give it so. Indeed Vertue has taken it so. Your eyes too are Vertue's eyes; only the expression of sorrow, affection and anxiety in Vertue's is considerably aggravated.— I am well satisfied it is a good Portrait of Cromwell. I will advise the man to have regard to these particulars that I have mentioned. I hope we shall get moderately well thro', after all.
Meantime will you send to Chapman the Correct Copy of the Writing that is to go to the bottom of the Plate: I know it not,—I always forget the Proprietor's title, as Fitzgerald reproaches me for doing:
"From a Miniature (?) by Cooper, in the possession of the Revd ——— ——— (what? be sure you are right in his title!) ———— of ——— in Essex, a Descendant of the Family"3 (is that something like it?)———
Believe me always / Dear Lawrence / Yours most truly
T. Carlyle

Affirmative ActionEqual Employment Opportunity
UConn Health has a State of
Connecticut Affirmative Action Plan, a
Minorities and Women Federal Affirmative Action Plan, and a
Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities Federal Affirmative
Action Plan. The Connecticut Affirmative Action Plan
is below.
Section 46a-68 of Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) requires
each agency under the Executive Branch of state government to
annually submit a written Affirmative Action Plan to the
Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunity (CHRO)
for review and approval. To satisfy requirements each plan must
contain the 18 elements identified by the previously referenced
statutes and Public Acts 83-569 and 84-41. The Affirmative
Action Plan is not considered effective until approved by CHRO's
commission. UConn Health's plan is on CHRO's
January agenda.
The entire plan, including attachments is currently available
for review in the Office of Diversity and Equity.
Section 46a-68-33: Policy Statement
The policy statement communicates UConn Health's commitment
to affirmative action. It must include the signature of the
appointing authority and the name, address, telephone number and
position the person responsible for the day-to-day activities of
the affirmative action plan.
Andrew Agwunobi will sign the policy statement as the
authority. Al Lizana, Associate Vice President, Office of
Diversity and Equity is listed as the UConn Health's Affirmative Action Officer.
The policies below are in the
Adobe PDF
Section 46a-68-34: Internal Communication
Information in this section describes the method in which UConn Health posts and distributes its internal policy
statements as well as communication to the workforce on their
right to review the plan. In addition employees are informed of
the time period in which they can submit written comments.
Section 46a-68-35: External Communication
This section describes the method in which UConn Health notifies the public that it is an affirmative action/equal
employment opportunity employer. This includes notification to
recruitment sources, bargaining units, bidders, contractors and
The Procurement Department's annual report is part of this
UConn Health advertises job openings through the Internet,
bulletin boards, emails to collective bargaining units, newspapers, and other
print media. Detailed information on face-to-face outreach
efforts such as job fairs and attendance at professional
functions are also included in this section.
Section 46a-68-36: Assignment of Responsibility
Included in this section are the duties of the Affirmative
Action Officer.
Section 46a-68-37: Organizational Analysis
This section lists lines of progression by job title and assigns
all job titles to occupational groups. Occupational groups
include all positions with similar job content, salary schedules
and opportunity. Salary ranges are also included in this
Information in this section is consistent from year to year
and is only revised as new job titles are established or
Section 46a-68-38: Workforce Analysis
This section lists UConn Health's full time workforce by
occupational category, race, sex, age and disability. Part time
employees are listed separately. A separate analysis must be
complete for any job title with 25 or more incumbents. For a complete
listing, see a copy on file in the Office of Diversity Programs.
Section 46a-68-39: Availability Analysis
The availability analysis determines what statistical data will
be used to conclude whether or not any of the protected groups
in UConn Health's workforce are underrepresented. The
sources used to determine availability computations are
employment figures, unemployment figures, racial and sexual
compositions or persons in feeder groups, population figures,
requisite skill figures and educational/technical training
Section 46a-68-40: Utilization Analysis
Utilization analysis is a numerical calculation that determines
if a protected group is fully or fairly utilized. This numerical
calculation compares UConn Health's workforce to the
availability base from the previous section.
Under representation results in a goal being set for the
upcoming plan period. The goals are listed in the next section.
Section 46a-68-41: Hiring/Promotion Goals and Timetables
Hiring or promotion goals are set for each protected group
identified as being underrepresented in the Utilization analysis
section. Goals for underrepresented positions can be set as
hires or promotional ones.
**Goals reflect optimal parity with labor market area and are
set in accordance with CHRO guidelines. They do not take into
account any anticipated personnel activities, such as layoffs,
which may impact the actual number of opportunities to hire.
This type of information is included in the report of goal
Section 46a-68-42: Employment Analysis
The employment analyses section includes information on the
reasons for increases and decreases in UConn Health's
workforce; reasons why members of protected groups were not
selected for positions and at what point in the process they
were not longer viable candidates; all training activity and
personnel evaluation information.
It is important to note that CGS does not allow for the
inclusion of part time employees in workforce data or
calculations. Therefore any employee whose FTE changes is
considered either an addition or reduction to even though they
might not physically be entering or departing UConn Health's workforce.
Accurate and detailed Applicant Flow Analysis data is
critical because CHRO utilizes information contained in this
section to detect any barriers for inclusion of protected
groups. This is the area where UConn Health demonstrates
its good faith efforts in recruiting and promoting members of
protected groups.
Section 46a-68-43: Identification of Problem Areas
This section includes adverse impact tests, which
may indicate potential problems with the employment process.
These problems may impede or prevent the full and fair
participation of protected group members. The impact tests cover
such areas as employment application, recruitment activities,
performance evaluation and termination. Results of these tests
are used to establish program goals in the next section.
Section 46a-68-44: Program Goals and Timetables
Program goals are established in areas that affect the
employment process or may impede full participation of protected
group members. State Statutes require that program goals to
intensify recruitment efforts be set when the Adverse Impact
Test Numbers 1-6 indicates that the representation of any group
in the applicant pool is less than 80%.
Section 46a-68-45: Upward Mobility
Each agency must establish an upward mobility program that meets
or exceeds minimum guideline requirements. Human Resources
prepares this section.
Section 46a-68-46: Grievance Procedure
Each agency is required to establish procedures to process and
resolve employee allegations of discrimination and harassment.
Section 46a-68-47: Internal Program Evaluation
This section contains UConn Health's self-evaluation of
its affirmative action program. Also written input from the
appointing authority (the Executive Vice President for Health
Affairs) and Affirmative Action Officer is required.
Section 46a-68-48: Goals Analysis
This is a narrative section that provides a rational for each
search conducted that did not result in the hiring or promotion
of a goal candidate. In critiquing this section CHRO not only
looks at the percentage of goals achieved but also UConn Health's good faith efforts.
Section 46a-68-49: Innovative Programs
This is the section that allows UConn Health to pat
itself on the back. Included are programs that are not
necessarily a product of the affirmative action plan but
contribute to the diversification of the workforce. Various
departments within the UConn Health community provide the
information contained in this section.
Section 46a-68-50: Concluding Statement
In this section the Appointing Authority communicates his
commitment to affirmative action and pledges to make every good
faith effort to achieve the objectives set forth in the plan.

It never ceases to amaze me how many delicious little restaurants are dotted around this city, simply tucked away into dark corners of shopping malls. Through word of mouth, I heard about Mandaloun Mediterranean Cuisine in the Deerwood Village Shopping Center. What a find! The location has been around for a couple of years, but with the crowd they generate on a Saturday night you would think this place has been a neighborhood staple for decades.
Mandaloun serves up classic Mediterranean / Middle Eastern dishes with a Lebanese flair. The menu is filled with classic Kabobs and Lebanese treats that are sure to please any diner. To most the difference is subtle, but if you frequently gorge on good Homous, Tabouleh, Lamb, or Falafel like some of us at Examiner, you'll notice the slight differences in spice and flavor right away.
Some dishes of note? The Kafta at Mandaloun is arguably the best in Jacksonville. It is moist, tender, and flavorful - pretty much what lambs are striving to be in their next life. They serve the ground lamb mixture in Kabob form in a variety of different dishes, along side your choice of a cucumber and tomato salad or rice for around $14. This is the kind of dish you'll dream about at night. Mandaloun also serves fantastic Sambousek ($7). These little meat pies are wonderful, stuffed with ground beef and pine nuts and are full of flavor. One other outstanding item on the menu is Mandaloun's Lebanese Coffee ($2). Though it comes both sweetened and unsweetened, to truly experience it you must drink it sweet. It is thick and strong, dark, lightly sweetened, and absolutely amazing.
Overall, dining at Mandaloun is a wonderful experience. They have a tendency to get busy on the weekends, but if you are a smoker or interested in hookah the outdoor seating area is simply marvelous. They pipe out music and it takes on the air of a busy market with people milling about everywhere and enjoying their dining experience. Sampling multiple dishes at Mandaloun can be a bit pricey, but discount certificates are available from both Restaurant.com and ActiveDiner.com. They are certainly a Jacksonville City Secret that should be tried! Mandaloun is located at:
9862 Old Baymeadows Road
Jacksonville, FL 32256-8101
(904) 646-1881
Happy Eating!

Nowhere in the annals of United States military history is there a more tragic, yet valorous, story than that of the Army of Tennessee. Unlike its companion fighting unit, the Army of Northern Virginia which was commanded throughout the Civil War by one of the great military figures of all time, Robert E. Lee, the history of the Army of Tennessee is one of ever-changing commanders, of bickering and wrangling among its leaders, and a discouraging succession of disappointments and might-have-beens.

Here are just a few of my favorites.

Hypnosis Question & Download
Answer: There really is no such thing as "depth" of hypnosis. Depth is term used to describe a pleasant state of focus. So when you are asked to "go deeper" in hypnosis it simply means "focus even more". When you hear your first hypnosis session give it a try. You'll find it quite pleasant!
