The Royal Reign of Sir Jack Splash
If there is one artist who completely embodies the term "renaissance man", it's the Miami-cum-LA producer/artist, Jack Splash. Long hot on the "Sir Jack tip" since hearing a few demos early last year, a proper sit-down with the dude who makes me hit play, and repeat, more often than not was a chance to get into the mind of a true millennial master.
Oft-compared to a hybrid lovechild of Prince and Outkast, Splash is not shy to show his passion and dedication to his impressive collection of works, most of which he's dished out for free in anticipation of his full length album, Technology and Love Might Save Us All. Let's dive in and, yep, make a splash with super cool and cordial dude.
SB: Since we've been going back and forth on Twitter, I figured why not do a proper interview and help spread the word a little bit more?
JS: Cool, I really appreciate that. Your real name is Hannah?
SB: Yeah, it's Hannah. Sheena Beaston is just the name of the site, but I've answered to Sheena many times before, so whatever works is totally cool.
JS: That's cool. That's rock and roll, I dig it.
SB: Absolutely. So where are you based at right now?
JS: I'm in
SB: Oh, so you're missing out on all the snow and the fun going on up here in the Northeast.
JS: Oh my goodness, I'm not a huge snow person anyways
SB: Dude, I am not either...I hate it! My office even shut down today.
JS: That's madness. I don't think I've ever been…I mean, I've been in the snow, but not in the middle of the city. You know what I mean?
SB: Yeah, exactly. It's just a hassle to trudge through the city in these conditions so it's kind of nice to just stay home and watch movies all day, which is so out of the norm for me.
JS: That's the best time for some hot cocoa
SB: Exactly! So what are you doing down in
JS: Um, I'm from LA originally and I moved out here I guess about 4 years ago now and it was only supposed to be a one year thing, like a working vacation type thing. But, I love it. I love the weather. I'm a beach dude, like that's why I don't love the snow. I just like the warm, tropical weather. Yeah, like this year's been a little bit cold, but other than that, I love the weather and I'm a workaholic. And I live right on the beach so I can wake up and go swimming in the ocean, right on the beach.
SB: You're making me jealous now. If I could have an NYC lifetyle and have it be 100% warm weather all the time, dude, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
JS: Well that's what's crazy. Ideally I wanted to move to
SB: [laughs] Alright so aside from all the weather and location talk, if you want to talk a little bit about how you started in music, and I know you've done a lot of production work for other artists and whatnot, so how did you get started in making your own music?
JS: Actually, it's interesting because I guess since I've had a little bit more success as a producer, people aren't necessarily aware that I was always an artist first and that the producing thing was always kind of my lucky break. To give you a real quick history of it, I basically had my little underground group, it's called Plant Life and it was really just like my passion project and I didn't really think anyone would be into it, cuz it was my own little weird shit, right? But that was really the first thing that started making me money. And it took off pretty well in
That was really the first thing I produced. I mean I produced the Plant Life record too, but I was also the lead singer and I didn't consider myself a producer per say. I produced out of necessity, you know? But producing for Cee-Lo was so fun that I was like, you know, I could get used to this. I get as much of a musical high working for other people as I do working on my own stuff. So I did that for a while and we put together this project called The Heart Attack which was literally right before his Gnarls Barkley record broke. So when that blew up, he was like, "I'm gonna go to
SB: That's awesome dude. So you've been putting out some mix tapes in anticipation of the full length that's coming out. Do you have a release date for the full album yet?
JS: Well, I had so many people on it that I had to get all the clearances, you know, all the label politics. But it's coming out in May, I don't have the exact date. The main reason I was putting out the free albums, and I call them the free albums because they're really albums, you know what I mean, but the reason I wanted to do that, the first were more hip-hop based and on the new one I'm not rapping at all, it's all singing, but I wanted my American people to know kinda where I come from so when the big album comes out or whatever, I didn't want to come out of left field. I wanted the people to know, here's my history, and it's easier to tell those stories through hip-hop, you know what I mean? So, I'm not rapping at all on my real album. Lupe is on it, and Missy and other people are doing the rapping part.
SB: That's what I wanted to ask you. How much of the album then is you and your voice as opposed to the guests? Because I know you have a great lineup of people set to appear on the album...
JS: It's still 90% me, you know? I guess the important thing is that I made the entire album on my own first. Our Plant Life stuff was like demos to me. I mean, to be honest and frank, I was drunk and just having fun and living life and documenting that in songs. So I didn't really produce it, I wasn't trippin out on how my vocals sounded, you know it sounded a little fucked up but it was supposed to sound a little fucked up. So I made the entire album on my own first, there was nobody on it. And it wasn't until I finished and made this little animated movie with Cee-Lo and I was like, you know what, I really want to bring, I mean I know it sounds crazy, I hope this doesn't come out as a bad quote, but I really wanted to kind of try and do what the Beatles did with Sergeant Pepper where it was all them but they brought in this really beautiful cast of characters to come participate in their little psychedelic world. So that's really what I did.
SB: [laughs] Well, it's in there now...we're going to print! [laughs
JS: [laughs] 90% of the songs are still me, but for instance the song I put Lupe on, it felt like it was the perfect part for a rapper to come in and to be honest I didn't really want to be doing the rapping on it. And he killed it, you know what I mean, he's talking about aliens and love and he totally understood the concept and nailed it. I've been outspoken about just trying to push things forward, not just artistically, but thoughtwise, artistically, just trying to be open-minded and open-hearted. So those are the types of people I brought in and it's a weird mix from T-Pain to Janelle Monae. People might not realize that T-Pain and I are damn near twins but we are. [laughs] Hip-hop dudes doing their own weird little thing and we got lucky and started making money off of it. Like the song T-Pain and R. Kelly did, that was originally just all me and then there was a little part to do a rap and people didn't know how raw T-Pain was, and of course the label got pissed, "How can you have T-Pain on this song and not even sing? That doesn't make any sense!" And I was like, no, trust me. Just trust me.
SB: Exactly. Because everyone knows him for what he made his millions from but to tap into another aspect of him and to have it turn out so rad, I can't wait to hear it. It sounds great.
JS: Yeah, and that being said, R. Kelly heard it and loved it and I was like, that's perfect, because he's one of my musical idols. I don't think I sound like R. Kelly at all, but he taught me a lot about songwriting. People like him and Prince and other people that were really fearless with their lyrics that were just like, fuck you I'm gonna write what I want to write. So those are the types of people I brought in. But it's not like a producer's compilation album, this is a real album. I just found a way to weave some people into it.
SB: That's perfect. It's all in support of what you're doing and it shows in some of the tracks that I've heard from the free albums and a couple of demos and it's all pretty complimentary to the style of music you're doing which I think is a great thing. And it's not like anyone's overshadowing any one other person. It's all a good balance of everyone's talents to make a great end result, so kudos to you for that.
JS: Thanks. Well that's what's kind of funny. I'm lucky that I have this other career as a producer too. That kind of frees me up. To be honest, I made the record that I wanted to make as an artist. I wasn't worried about what the label wanted or whatever. I'm lucky that they like what I actually did. So with the other people, it's funny that these are kind of the records they want to be making anyways, but sometimes they're either a little scared to do it, or the label doesn't want to do it, or whatever it is. It's kind of fun because it's also helping me. I wanted to make these types of records with some of the artists. Like I wanted to do some really out there stuff with Alicia. And I loved some of the stuff I did with her but I also wanted to do something a little crazier, and it's funny because she kind of did some of it on this new album. But that's all the stuff that I wanted to do with her, you know? Because I like when artists challenge themselves. Again, like Cee-Lo and Andre and Lauryn Hill….any of these people are great examples of that. The greatest artists of all time, whether it be David Bowie or Prince or the Beatles or whoever, were the ones that kind of pushed themselves to get to that next thing. But I do want to be clear that people who liked the first two mixtapes or free albums that this next one coming is really nothing like those two. I mean there's bits and pieces of it. The songs you picked out, like Love Slut, that's what my real stuff is like.
SB: Those are the ones that like as soon as I started listening to it, those ones jumped out at me and I was like , dude this shit is tight. Like all the production work and everything was just so on point. Some days when it's just like what am I gonna listen to today? I just go back to that and it works well.
JS: Honestly, for people like you, I feel like this next album, this free one, honestly I feel like it's my best work to date.
SB: When are you putting that one out?
JS: Well I'm finishing it up right now, and it's like a really special thing. To me, there was a lot of hype surrounding what I'm doing. And when I say hype, I mean a lot of people comparing me to other big talents. You know I'm a regular dude, so for people to even compare me, those are big shoes to fill. So I was always running away from that kinda, cuz it was kind of preposterous to me. But then I had this little revelation like 6 months ago where it was everyone that I was working with. Very diverse people. Like Missy pulled me aside at the video shoot and said something really special to me. Between that and actually Prince coming up and scooping what she does, because she's his DJ now, and meeting him several times and him saying really nice things about my music.
SB: That's such an honor dude.
JS: Yeah, I guess something just clicked in my head like I'll never be Prince or Michael or Outkast, you know, but maybe for right now, that's what I'm supposed to be. Like for this generation maybe I'm supposed to be the person that gives a fuck enough. I think to me, the only way that we're really really similar is that our hearts are the same. Like what Andre is about in his heart or what Prince is about in his heart or even like when I first hooked up with Q-Tip, he was like, "Honestly, I only heard one of your songs and I really liked it. But why I wanted to get in touch with you was I read some of your interviews with Plant Life and I like what you're about." And I almost cried when he said that to me, you know? I was like, oh man, that means the world to me, because that's all I'm trying to do is carry the torch.
SB: Well there's a definite passion that I can sense from behind it too so regardless of what you're doing or when you're putting it out you know it's coming from this truthful and honest place, which only benefits the music.
JS: Yeah, well that being said, I think I was very scared to give 150% of myself just because I was maybe scared of the results. It was like being scared of success or being scared of your own power, you know what I mean? Just little weird things like that but I was like , fuck it, now is the time because people are actually paying attention and digging the right things and people were liking the right things about what I'm doing so I kinda wanted to get it completely uncut, unfiltered and honestly, I've been crying while mixing some of the songs. I'm just like, "Fuck…this is it". I'm really excited about the project. And I'm happy that I put out the other two albums first because I didn't want to scare people into thinking, what the fuck is this? What planet is this from? But I gave people enough little doses of where it's trying to go where people will at least be open to this record. And I think it's the perfect setup for my real album too because my real album is kind of a mixture of all of that.
SB: That's awesome. I can't wait to give it a listen. Before we go, I want to ask you, when the album does come out, are you going to be any touring or doing live appearances?
JS: For sure. I was supposed to just be getting in rehearsals with my band for the past month but I'm like a little maniac when it comes to that too. Like the people that saw me in Europe know that this ain't no regular show that I do. I like to be like a real holy experience, you know what I mean? Because that's the way that I can really communicate with the people that are digging the music and it's just like a really sweaty party basically. An hour long party where the audience is as much involved as we are on stage. So I've been getting a live show together and I kinda had to stop that for a second just to work on this record because I had that inspiration, but I'm definitely gonna be touring and another label wanted me to really tour heavy but I'm gonna make sure because I never toured in America with Plant Life. It's madness. It's like a 17 person show. It's more like theater than it is a show. I gotta let you know when I'm coming there.
SB: Absolutely. I'll be the first person in line, I'll be right at the front of the stage! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat. I really appreciate it, and good luck with all that you're doing and I can't wait to hear the album.
JS: Thank you so much Hannah, and I really appreciate all the support. I went and peeped out your site, and for me, that's what happened in Europe and that's why they still have a lot of love for me out there even though I haven't been there in 4 years. For me, I didn't want to fuckin blow up and be this person that I didn't really want to be in the first place. I like real music heads, real fans of ill shit. I definitely peeped that you were really supporting, so thank you for the time and supporting. I totally dig it.

Free Iran's green leaders
This weekend marks the 1,000th day since Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karrubi, the two reformist candidates who fought former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's fraud-ridden re-election in 2009, were placed under house arrest. Their detention should end immediately.
There are good reasons for Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, to want to release the two men, and for supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to let him. The most compelling for Rouhani is that without the support of the Green Movement that Mousavi and Karrubi represented, he would not be president. Reformist voters expected their leaders to be released in return for their support, and understood Rouhani's campaign pledge to end the expansion of Iran's "security state" as a promise to do just that. They are becoming impatient and rightly so. The two men, one held at his boarded-up home and one at an intelligence ministry safe house, are older than 70 and in poor health.
Releasing Mousavi and Karrubi would also signal to countries involved in talks over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program, which resumed in Geneva Thursday, that the switch from Ahmadinejad is about more than just style.
Khamenei, for his part, appears to have understood that Iran's growing isolation under Ahmadinejad has made his regime weaker. Iranians increasingly question the wisdom of a diplomatic posture that makes them poor. In September, Khamenei agreed that Iran's Supreme National Security Council should decide whether to release Mousavi and Karrubi.
Neither Mousavi nor Karrubi was ever charged with a crime. Ahmadinejad, directly threatened by their claims of a fraudulent election, has gone. So the stage is set.
Despite all this, Rouhani's choice isn't open and shut and the odds against an early release remain strong. He'll have to judge how far he can push the Revolutionary Guard and other regime hard-liners, who oppose reconciliation with the West and consider the Green Movement to be "seditionists." Both Khamenei and Rouhani will also take a risk in releasing men who have refused to recant their claims to victory in the 2009 polls, and who would be received as heroes once liberated.
Consider the executions — more than 80 of them — that followed Rouhani's election in June. This happened even as the new president was releasing dozens of political prisoners and phoning President Barack Obama, the horn on the Great Satan, to demonstrate how Iran was turning a corner toward moderation. Only last week, a travel ban and suspended sentence were imposed on actress Pegah Ahangarani for her earlier support of Mousavi.
The Iranian regime remains one of the world's most brutal and repressive. According to a recent United Nations report, Iran still has 500 human rights defenders in jail and executed 724 people in the 18 months from January 2012 to June 2013. Given that record, releasing Mousavi and Karrubi would be no more than a symbol — but an important one nonetheless.
The U.S. and its allies cannot help by applying pressure. Public intervention for Mousavi and Karrubi would backfire, providing ammunition to hard-liners who maintain that the two men and their supporters are stooges for foreign powers. Still, Khamenei must know he has more to fear from the reaction in the streets of Tehran, should one of these men die in custody, than from freeing them. This is one time that Iran's supreme leader can gain politically by doing the right thing. Why wait?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame HTML version
3. History Of A Leavened Cake Of Maize
At the epoch of this history, the cell in the Tour-Roland was occupied. If the
reader desires to know by whom, he has only to lend an ear to the conversation
of three worthy gossips, who, at the moment when we have directed his attention
to the Rat-Hole, were directing their steps towards the same spot, coming up
along the water's edge from the Châtelet, towards the Grève.
Two of these women were dressed like good bourgeoises of Paris. Their fine
white ruffs; their petticoats of linsey- woolsey, striped red and blue; their white
knitted stockings, with clocks embroidered in colors, well drawn upon their legs;
the square-toed shoes of tawny leather with black soles, and, above all, their
headgear, that sort of tinsel horn, loaded down with ribbons and laces, which the
women of Champagne still wear, in company with the grenadiers of the imperial
guard of Russia, announced that they belonged to that class wives which holds
the middle ground between what the lackeys call a woman and what they term a
lady. They wore neither rings nor gold crosses, and it was easy to see that, in
their ease, this did not proceed from poverty, but simply from fear of being fined.
Their companion was attired in very much the same manner; but there was that
indescribable something about her dress and bearing which suggested the wife
of a provincial notary. One could see, by the way in which her girdle rose above
her hips, that she had not been long in Paris.--Add to this a plaited tucker, knots
of ribbon on her shoes--and that the stripes of her petticoat ran horizontally
instead of vertically, and a thousand other enormities which shocked good taste.
The two first walked with that step peculiar to Parisian ladies, showing Paris to
women from the country. The provincial held by the hand a big boy, who held in
his a large, flat cake.
We regret to be obliged to add, that, owing to the rigor of the season, he was
using his tongue as a handkerchief.
The child was making them drag him along, non passibus Cequis, as Virgil says,
and stumbling at every moment, to the great indignation of his mother. It is true
that he was looking at his cake more than at the pavement. Some serious
motive, no doubt, prevented his biting it (the cake), for he contented himself with
gazing tenderly at it. But the mother should have rather taken charge of the cake.
It was cruel to make a Tantalus of the chubby-checked boy.
Meanwhile, the three demoiselles (for the name of dames was then reserved for
noble women) were all talking at once.
"Let us make haste, Demoiselle Mahiette," said the youngest of the three, who
was also the largest, to the provincial, "I greatly fear that we shall arrive too late;
they told us at the Châtelet that they were going to take him directly to the
"Ah, bah! what are you saying, Demoiselle Oudarde Musnier?" interposed the
other Parisienne. "There are two hours yet to the pillory. We have time enough.
Have you ever seen any one pilloried, my dear Mahiette?"
"Yes," said the provincial, "at Reims."

By now many of you will have seen The Hunger Games. Some of you may have even joined an archery club, given the apparent boom in popularity of the sport in the wake of the success of the film and the books it is based on.
I am not one of the hip young things who have joined an archery club. I haven't even seen the film - and probably never will unless it's raining one Sunday afternoon and it's on telly and I've got nothing better to do.
But it doesn't matter, because I've already been where 16-year-old Hunger Games' heroine Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) and her bow and arrow-toting friends (and foes) have been. I was a teenage archer.
Actually, it's a bit hazy these days, but I think I was about 10, or perhaps 11, when I first started taking archery seriously - and I loved it - for a few years at least, until I went on to something else expensive (I think it was cycling). Poor Mum and Dad.
But yes, I loved archery. I loved shining my aluminium arrows, placing them in my quiver, and then straining, almost doing myself an injury, to string the bloody bow. Hey, I was still a little tacker and those bows took some bending.
Archery was my passion. So much so that alongside Robert Smith from the Cure and the guys from Musical Youth (remember Pass the Dutchie?), the late paraplegic archer Neroli Fairhall was one of my childhood heroes. She won gold at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. With that cool, steely stare, her blonde wavy locks, and steady draw arm, it was tense I tell ya - but she came out on top. And then in 1984 she became the first paraplegic to compete at the Olympics in 1984, where she finished 35th but a champion nonetheless.
Archery is hard. I'm surprised I had the patience and attention span for it back then. I certainly wouldn't now.
Apart from hitting the target, preferably as close to the middle as possible, the hardest part is holding the strain of the bow as you try to aim the thing.
Not to blow my own trumpet, but I was pretty good at it, setting a national age group record with a barebow (that means not using a sight).
Traditional archery is also very concentrated and earnest, as you line up in a nice, orderly and quiet line and take aim at the targets placed strategically out in front of you.
Which is why I loved clout archery, which was a rare chance to let loose with your bow and arrows. Cool. The idea is to shoot your arrows into the air with the aim of landing them as close to a flag placed over yonder as possible.
Even better than clout was field archery - and this is where The Hunger Games come in. Basically you clamber around in the bush shooting at targets from a random distance - kind of like pig hunting with a bow, only the target isn't steaming at you, hankering for blood.
I was so inspired by field archery that I would set up makeshift targets around the grounds of my nana's sprawling garden.
Before there were such things as Xbox and PS3, it made for hours of warrior-like fun. I know I sound more like a 5-year-old than a young lad on the verge of his teens when I say that, but it really was a hoot.
Though I have to concede, I'm glad I didn't have any one shooting at me from behind a tree like in The Hunger Games. Honestly though, archery is the new cool. I'm off to polish my arrows and string my bow.

I was attending a seminar last week and one of the guest speakers mentionned software that "auto-detects" redundancies in your code.
I was wondering if anyone could point any such tool that I could use to detect in my environment (are they environment-centric, or can they pretty much adapt to any syntax?).

A flve- jyear-old Buffalo'county girl was crushed to deaih by the wheel of a corn binder last evening.

Family Drama in Santa Maria Christmas Eve Kidnapping Case
Daniel Espinoza is father of alleged victim in case.
Central Coast News is learning much more about the alleged abduction of a 21 year old girl on West Newlove Drive.
41 year old Daniel Espinoza of Salinas is accused of kidnapping and other felony charges in connection with what Santa Maria Police say was the abduction of a 21 year old woman from the 200 block of West Newlove Drive in Santa Maria on Christmas Eve.
Police say Espinoza took the young woman in his car and drove up and down Highway 101 for several hours before he was ultimately stopped and arrested.
Police say they were tipped off to the alleged abduction by a friend of the 21 year old woman who told police she used a cell phone to tell her she was being held against her will.
Espinoza was stopped and arrested later Christmas Eve night.
The 21 year old alleged victim was not hurt.
Central Coast News has learned the alleged victim in this case is in fact the daughter of Daniel Espinoza.
Both the prosecution and the defense in the case against Daniel Espinoza agreed to postpone any future hearings while both sides try to negotiate a resolution to what was and is a sad family matter.
Espinoza is being held with no bail in Santa Barbara County Jail with a federal immigration hold and will return to court next month.
Espinoza faces possible deportation regardless of the outcome of his criminal case.
the santa barbara county board of supervisors has commissioned a study---on the growing backlog of maintenance work in the county.
as keith carls reports--- a jaw-dropping amount of money will be needed to bring the county maintenance log up to date.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
So who's signed/signing up to the Bungay Marathon or Half Marathon? I'm running the Half Marathon and this will be my first, and the longest distance I have ever run! Best incorporate a few hill sessions!
I'm hoping to be fit to run the half. I ran the full in 2010 and the half this year....but have been suffering from knee problems since late April and currently not running at all....fingers crossed I can get it all sorted, as this would be my big stepping stone towards an autumn marathon in 2012.
Marcus - personally I don't think the hills are that bad, and the second half is flat, so once you have gone through the first 6 miles or so it is fine. Best of luck with it!
Thank you. I hope your injury improves soon Freemers.
I've had plantar fasciitis issues on and off since June, and struggle to get my runs over 7 miles before I start to feel discofort, so I've gone back to basics, and building up from 5k again.
And I agree the hills are not that bad (to look at, or whilst in the car), but better to be safe than sorry.
Yes, don't ignore hill training, but also don't worry if people describe the course as really hard - it isn't, so long as you are well prepared. Also, there are downs as well as ups!
It is a good race. I like the fact that the full sets off 2 hours before the half, so you get a chance to see the lead marathon runners come through - amazing how fast they run!
Good luck with getting rid of the PF...injury sucks!
Yes, having the Marathon runners hurtle past should help me along - it certainly helped during the recent 10k Adnams Great East Run when the 20k runners came past.
Ditto…hope you're back running soon.
Thanks mimambmc! Training is going really well!!! Counting down the weeks!
Are you entered?
The hills are fine on the 1st lap, its the 2nd lap where you need to dig deep!
Hope to be there for my 4th succesive Bungay.

Welcome from southeast Texas.
I helped entertain a couple of your countrymen, a few months back. My contribution was helping them to shoot a 12 gauge shotgun, as well as handguns in .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, and 9mm. Neither had ever fired a gun of any kind, and the older of the two was 73 years old. They seemed to like it a lot.
They were very talented beer-drinkers, and we had a lot of laughs.

Estrellita "Esther" Garo Miguel is going to prison for about four years for running the largest mortgage fraud scheme in Hawaii.
U.S. District Chief Judge Susan Oki Mollway sentenced Miguel Monday to 52 months in prison for wire fraud, making false statements on loan applications, money laundering and conspiring to commit mortgage fraud. She gave Miguel until March 4 to turn herself in to begin serving her sentence. In the meantime, Miguel remains on electronically monitored home detention.
Miguel said she knows what she did is wrong and is sorry for involving her two daughters in the scheme. She asked Mollway for a chance to teach others how to avoid what she did.
She is the first of 14 people who were charged in two separate indictments in August 2010 to get sentenced for their roles in the scheme. Twelve others, including Miguel's daughters Jennifer Garin Miguel and Geraldine Garin Miguel Lukela, are scheduled to be sentenced in the coming months. Ten others, who were charged separately, are also awaiting sentencing.

In customer service organizations, collaboration should take place around cases and content, and should involve not only collaboration between customers and customer service agents, but internal collaboration within the enterprise. Internal collaboration has quantifiable benefits as measured by increased organizational productivity and efficiency. For cases, collaboration helps increase first contact resolution, decrease handle times and increase customer satisfaction. For content, collaboration helps evolve content to be more relevant, accurate, complete, and in line with customer demand. Some of the technologies that help foster collaboration around cases and content include:
For cases:

In a conversation with Alex Bard, CEO of Assistly (now desk.com, part of salesforce.com), I learned a few interesting things about customer service solutions for small to medium-size businesses (SMBs): (1) Companies can be too small to have customer service organizations; (2) the main competition of vendors of SMB customer service solutions is not each other, but Post-It notes and Gmail; and (3) the service that SMB customers demand is exactly like the service that enterprise customers demand.
So what do each of these points mean?

Customer service managers don't often realize that data quality projects move the needle on customer satisfaction. In a recent Forrester survey of members of the Association of Business Process Management Professionals (ABPMP), of the 45% who reported that they are working on improving CRM processes, only 38% have evaluated the impact that poor-quality data has on the effectiveness of these processes. And of the 37% of respondents working on customer experience for external-facing processes, only 30% proactively monitor data quality impacts. That's no good; lack of attention to data quality leads to a set of problems:

The contact center solution ecosystem that customer service organizations use has grown more complex over time, as highlighted in our latest TechRadar™ on these solutions. Customer service executives struggle to enforce consistent processes for their agents to follow so that those agents can deliver optimal customer experiences. The amount of data and information that agents need to use to resolve customer inquiries is exploding. Vendor mergers and acquisitions as sectors consolidate are creating product and support risks. And new contact center solution delivery models, including managed services, outsourcing, and cloud-based offerings, are presenting new opportunities.
To define the context for making smart contract center strategy and technology decisions for customer service, Forrester partnered with CustomerThink to survey 75 contact center professionals to understand which technologies were being used and who was making purchasing decisions. We found that:

Step 6 of my 10-step program on how to master your service experience is to make your agent tool set more usable. This is because the work environment of a customer service agent is pretty awful. Agents use dozens — sometimes hundreds — of disconnected tools and technologies like CRM systems, billing systems, ERP, transactional systems, knowledge bases, information in email correspondence, and training manuals to find answers to customer questions. Have a look at the customer service IT ecosystem from a North American telecom company to internalize this complexity.
Most applications that agents use lack intuitive navigation, have cluttered screens that contain too much information, and have overly complex process flows that rely too heavily on agents to navigate. Moreover, agents don't always navigate through their set of disconnected systems in the same way to find the answer they are looking for.
All these usability issues lead to variable handle times and inconsistent customer experiences. There is no way for managers to make sure that agents are complying with regulations or company policy. Knowledge exists on an island of its own, disconnected from the rest of the customer service ecosystem, and is sometimes duplicated for each communication channel that the company supports — which leads to inconsistent answers that are sometimes just plain wrong. In addition, agents don't have access to a consolidated view of a customer's purchase history or prior interactions and thus cannot personalize the conversation to the customer.

Part 5 of my 10-part blog series on how to master your service experience is also short and to the point: Put yourself in your customer's shoes and tell them when they should expect an answer from you.
Step 5: Keep your customers in the loop
Not all customer questions can be answered in real time; some require offline research time. Other questions, like those that come in by email or a web form, have inherent delays. It's important to communicate service expectations — and meet them so that your customers learn to trust you. Here is a good example of an acknowledgement of an email sent to Starwood's customer service organization; it tells the customer to expect a reply within 48 hours, but if this is too long to wait, the customer can contact the company via phone for help.
What is surprising is that SLAs are communicated to the customer for customer service via Twitter. Here is a rare example that lets users know that Twitter is offline for the night:

Part 4 of my 10-part blog series on how to master your service experience is short and to the point: Understand what your customers are trying to do and keep this in mind when designing and delivering your service strategy.
Step 4: Understand what your customers are trying to do
Offering the communication channels that your customers want to use and linking them together is a big first step. You must also steer your customers to use the right channel for their question and maximize the value of that channel for them. For example, don't let them use email for time-sensitive requests; guide your customers to using a live-assist channel like chat or the phone. Don't blindly port your web self-service capabilities to mobile devices; look at their value-add capabilities, such as the built-in camera, video, or geolocation features that these devices offer, and use them to add value to the self-service interaction.
Intuit, for example, allows customers to take pictures of their W-2 tax forms with mobile phones, answer a few questions, and e-file their taxes, which streamlines the entire process. Many automobile insurance companies allow customers to take pictures of accident damage with their mobile device's cameras, again adding value by simplifying the insurance claim filing process.
How many of you are right-channeling your customers' issues to maximize their satisfaction and control your costs?

Here's the third tip in my 10-part blog series on how to master your service experience in order to better align your capabilities with customer demand and do it at a cost that won't kill your business. Step 3 highlights the need for multichannel integration.
Step 3: Don't offer silos of communication choices
Your service experience should allow customers to start an interaction in one communication channel and complete it in another. For example, they should be able to start an interaction over the phone and follow up with an email containing more detailed information. Each interaction should convey consistent data and information to the customer. The agents that support each communication channel should follow the same basic processes, like asking for authentication at the same point in the service process. Each interaction should build on the prior one so that the customer does not have to repeat his question each time. This is more difficult to do than it seems, and companies have struggled for years to offer this type of seamless experience.
To allow for this, channels can't be implemented in silos, but must be integrated so that agents have a full view of prior customer interactions over traditional channels like phone, email, chat, and SMS and social ones like Facebook and Twitter. Agents use this information to understand what conversations the customer has already had with you and can then better personalize the interaction and add value.
Posted by Kate Leggett on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on November 7, 2011
Today, the gap between a customer's expectations and the service they receive is huge. Customers are increasingly knowledgeable about products and demand value-added, personalized service.
Companies know that good service is important: 90% of customer service decision-makers tell Forrester that it's critical to their company's success, and 63% think its importance has risen. Yet companies struggle to offer an experience that meets their customers' expectations at a cost that make sense to them, especially in these economically challenging times.
The end result for companies is significant: escalating service costs, customer satisfaction numbers at rock-bottom levels, and anecdotes of poor service experiences amplified over social channels that can lead to brand erosion.
Mastering the customer service experience is hard to do. Focusing on the end-to-end experience can help you move the needle in a positive direction. In this 10-part blog series, I will outline one tip each day that you should think about.
Tip 1: Do you know how your customers want to interact with you?
Customers know what good service is and demand it from each interaction they have, over any communication channel that they use. Forrester's data shows that in general, customers still prefer to use the phone, closely followed by email and web self-service. That being said, customer demographics affect channel preference with the younger generation more comfortable using peer-to-peer communication and instant service channels like chat. Its important to understand the demographics and communication preferences of your customers.

Woman threatens to stab people over a corn dog
A Texas woman who was not happy with the quality of a corn dog threatened restaurant workers with a knife.
The woman threw 75 cents at the workers and demanded a corn dog.
She later threw the corn dog at the employee because it was warmed up and demanded a second that was not microwaved. She told the workers she would stab them in "cold blood" if she didn't get a second.
The woman was eventually taken down by a K-9 unit after she became agitated and refused to listen to the cops. She faces two counts of aggravated assault.


text: Northwestern Music Building by Goettsch Partners * required fields From* To* Message cancel Architecture firm Goettsch Partners (GP) has designed the signature building that will be the new home of Northwestern University's Bienen School of Music and provide additional space for the School of Communication on Northwestern's Evanston campus. Located just south of the school's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall and connecting with the Regenstein Hall of Music, the building enables the Bienen School to consolidate its programs for the first time in more than 35 years. The new 152,000-square-foot building features a 400-seat recital hall, a 150-seat opera rehearsal room/black box theater and a 2,400-square-foot choral rehearsal room and library. The project also includes classrooms, teaching labs, faculty offices, studios, practice rooms, student lounges and administrative offices. The building design emphasizes a sustainable approach throughout, with a minimum goal of LEED Silver certification targeted. A large atrium defines the main entry, creating a feature space for public events, connecting the academic and performance functions, and offering clear views that slice through the building. The showcase facility is the recital hall, an intimate, two-level space with undulating walls of wood that provide optimal acoustics and lead to the stage, as well as a 50-foot-high wall of cable-supported, double-skin glass. During performances, this backdrop will feature dramatic views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. An integral part of the project is the new Music and Arts Green. Connecting the Block Museum, the Theatre and Interpretation Center, and Pick-Staiger Concert Hall with the new music building, this landscape centerpiece helps create a cohesive arts complex. The 120-foot-wide, pedestrian-friendly green provides a new gateway for the complex while also defining a setting for special events and passive recreation. The project is slated to be completed and ready for move-in in fall 2015. For more information, visit www.gpchicago.com. Related Articles Holiday Hobnobbing Out and About Keepin' On

Europe Stocks End Higher
European stock markets finished higher. London's FTSE 100 index was up 15.3 points, or 0.34%, to 4,453.6 following reports that British factory orders rose at the fastest pace in 6 years in May, while consumer confidence was unchanged on the month, and May house prices rose at the fastest pace in 12 months.
Germany's DAX index rose 45.81 points, or 1.18%, to 3,913.33 as energy futures fall sharply following inventory reports. In Paris, the CAC 40 index gained 19.45 points, or 0.53%, to 3,679.37 even though French business confidence fell from a 3-year high.
Asian markets finished higher. In Japan, the Nikkei index rose 13.94 points, or 0.13%, to 11,166.03 helped by rises in techs and telecoms. But gains were limited as investors took a breather as Japan's corporate earnings season draws to an end.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index jumped 291.34 points, or 2.49%, to 11,983.9 after the winning prices at a public land auction -- Hong Kong's first since land sales were resumed under the application list system this year -- exceeded all expectations, reports Standard & Poor's MarketScope.
Canada's benchmark S&P/TSX rose 24.62 points, or 0.30%, to 8,343.60.

Date of Stay: July, 2011
We stayed at Bay Bayou R.V. Resort for a couple of weeks. At first we were happy there. We had a small travel trailer on a site right on the river. We got a small gazebo, lots of people there have them. After being there about a week we were told we couldn't have our belongings inside the gazebo. We went back and forth with management, we explained that lots of other people had them. Why were we being singled out? We were then told we had to leave the park if we didn't like their rules. Meanwhile we saw tenants with lots of belongings, tenants doing mechanical work on their cars, dogs left unattended, and so on. The office staff were never friendly from the start. We spoke to lots of people there, they almost all said the office personnel were very rude and unfriendly. We will never stay there again.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
This was our second park in Tampa, Fl. This park is quite old but everyone here are friendly. We were made to feel very welcomed. Lots of large trees, lots of dirt on sites.

March 19, 2013
Halo from Germany! We started off our day visiting the World War II Memorial where the Dutch had dedicated a plot of land in recognition of America's role in liberating the Netherlands. There were 8,301 headstones total, 179 of which were stars of David while the rest were Latin crosses. There was also was a beautiful reflecting pool sitting before a 101 ft memorial. The statue of a mourning woman stood before it as well, with three doves, and a war destroyed tree all made of bronze.
On the sides of this memorial were large marble memorials that had names of the 1,722 men that were missing in action. An interesting thing we learned was that the people of the Netherlands actually "adopted" the tombstones of our soldiers and occasionally go decorate the tombstone with flowers. It was truly a moving experience that we will all take with us for the rest of our lives.
After visiting the memorial, we transferred to the city of Maastricht. Hub, our dashing tour guide, gave us a brief guided tour of the city and its many defensive walls from historic battles and invasions; then we were free to amble about the city of Maastricht, shopping and taking in the culture. To our surprise, they had many of the same shops we have: Steve Madden, Vans, Claires, etc. And of course they have the wonderful smelling candy and waffle shops. They had waffles with chocolate melted inside them, topped with soft serve vanilla ice cream! We met back at the bus around 1:30, and traveled to our game versus the German club team, FCR Duisburg.
Although we lost to Duisburg 2-0, we had a lovely dinner with a great chance to intermingle with the foreign players. We learned the phrase "I love milk" In German, or Ach Lieberdache milk (spelled as it's pronounced), while we were able to contribute the phrase "I would like to buy a hamburger" to the Germans' English vocabulary.
It's amazing to be in a country where the love for our sport is in the forefront of a culture rather than an afterthought. The best part about playing in a different country is learning different styles of play. Soccer is such a versatile sport that can be played in so many ways. We definitely admired the passion these girls have for the game. They've been raised in environments where soccer is all they know and the sport of the country. It was very exciting learning, adapting, and playing with some amazing girls.

Deputies Find Pipe Bombs And Gun In RV's Lock Box
MOSS LANDING, Calif. - Monterey County sheriff deputies arrested a homeless man Monday after finding five pipe bombs and a revolver in his RV's lock box during a traffic check.
The sheriff's office said while on patrol, deputies noticed the RV parked on the side of the road on Highway 1 in Moss Landing displaying a license plate of another vehicle.
When they contacted the man inside, he told them the paperwork for the vehicle's registration and identification was in the lock box. That's when deputies made the discovery.
Richard Erik Snyder, a convicted felon, was arrested and taken to the jail. He had active restraining orders against him, which prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
The Monterey County bomb squad responded. The suspect's proximity to the Moss Landing Power Plant was determined to be coincidental.
