I would like to bring to Staples's attention a problem I had with the experience at one of your stores. My specific complaint concerns the store at Staples Store
South Willow St.
Manchester, NH.
This incident has left me extremely angry.
On Monday, July 26th, I shipped two cases of tile through the Manchester, NH, Staples store. I specifically brought them to Staples because tStaples advertises itself as Authorized UPS Shipping providers and packagers. Since, I was unsure of what kind of packaging the tile would need, I felt I should bring it to an Authorized UPS shipping "expert" to find out how it would need to be packaged.
I brought my unpackaged tile (in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging) to Staples and brought to the counter (they also have a self shipping station - which I did not use as I needed packaging advice). The Staples counter person looked at the tile and said that it would not need packaging as it was "in it's original packaging". Since, she was the shipping "expert", I took her word and shipped it as is. I would have been willing to pay the extra packaging fee to have Staples package it for me, but the Staples employee told me it would be fine as is.
Needless to say, on August 5, 2004, I got a call from the Manchester Staples store saying that the package had been returned to them as damaged en route(tiles smashed) and what did I want to do. They gave me the 800 Staples claim number and I started a claim. The claims people have been less than helpful. UPS has denied the claim since the tile wasn't packaged correctly (though a Staples employee had told me it didn't need to be packaged since it was in the original manufacturer's packaging). I have talked to 3 different people, all of whom have assured me they would start a claim, re-submit the claim, call me back, etc. I started the claim on 8/6/04. I do not know whom I originally spoke to at the Staples claim center (I believe her name was Beverly, but I did not document her name). After almost a month of not hearing anything back from the Staples claim center, I called again. On 9/3/04 I spoke with Megan, she said she would again re-submit the claim and would call me by the next Tuesday - no call. Then on 9/8/04 I spoke with Tim who said he didn't see an update in the computer and didn't know why I wasn't called back, but that he would re-submit and call me. He assured me there was no reason he wouldn't call me back - again no call. Tim also informed me that they (the Staples Claims center telephone operators) were really just sub contractors and that maybe I should contact the Staples store I sent it from since they gave me the wrong information regarding packaging the tile- which I did. I spoke with Elena, the Manchester store manager, who said the stores carry no liability on packaging and she wouldn't do anything other than tell her employees to not "misinform the customers on packaging requirements".
Obviously, I am upset, my tile has been smashed beyond saving. I am out the $50.40 it cost me to ship the tile and I have to reimburse the woman who bought the tile from me. I could have gone to the Staples UPS self ship counter, but I didn't. I went to the counter with the shipping "expert" looking for advice on how to package the tile and she told me it would be fine as is. I feel as if I have been given the run around and nobody has offered me any suggestions.
As a result of this incident I will do everything I can to avoid Staples in the future, and I will certainly advise others to avoid your store.
Here's the resolution I'm proposing: I would like Staples to reimburse me for the cost of the tile and shipping - approximately $85 or suggest another solution to me.
I hope you are willing to address my concerns. I look forward to receiving a response within 10 business days.
I would like to bring to Staples's attention a problem I had with theexperience at one of your stores. My specific complaint concerns thestore at Staples Store #138

Lancaster, PA 17601

I also have a complain with the Staples Center 1-800-797-5924 .
I took a very expensive doll to the Staples store to have it shippedto California. I was with my son at the time. I ask the Staples Repat the UPS counter if I would have any problems shipping my doll toCalifornia and he said no that Staples ships UPS packages all the timeand have no problems. So, the Rep packaged doll up and I insured mypackage for $3,000. I also asked the Rep to put fragile all over thepackage.
When my doll arrived in California I opened my UPS package and I foundmy doll broken into pieces and it was destroyed. So I called theStaples claims center at 1-800-797-5924 to open a claim on December27th. So far, I have gotten nothing but a run around from the claimscenter at Staples. First,I was told that UPS would need to come to myhome and inspect the package. Which they did, and the UPS Rep told methat the Staples store Rep in Lancaster should have not have acceptedmy doll for shipment. That my doll needed to be crated and shipped bysome company who provides that service. So I called the Staplesclaims department and gave them that information. At that time, I wasalso told that I needed to send in the value of the doll and that UPSrequired an estiment of how much it would cost to have the dollrepaired. Which was just a way of putting all the process longer? So far, I have made over 20 calls to the claims center. Each time Ihave called Staples Claim Center I would usually get a new Rep or newSupervisor and had to start all over again. Each time giving me a runaround on what I needed to do to settle this claim. I could get noone from Staples Claim Center to ever return my call. What does thistell you about the claim center? It looks like their job is to puteveryone who calls in to the center on a waiting period and nevergetting back to the caller. Very bad customer relations. Finally,this morning (February 9th) I was told by the Staples claims centerthat I needed to contact the Store Manager in Lancaster to get thestore to approve my claim and take responsibility. I called the storeand talked to Heather Richardson and had no luck with her so ask totalk to her boss and also had not luck with him. I am extremely angrywith the Heather Richardson (Supervisor) & the Store Manager. Thereagain getting the run around from Staples. So to cut this story shortmy claim has been denied and I will not get paid for my doll. I havelearned an important lesson from this bad experience. Don't useStaples to ship your UPS packages. Take your package to a UPS storeand your package can be insured. Don't deal with Staples because theydon't carry insurance on your packages. This was an extremely badexperience for me. As a business owner I have always ordered all myoffice products from Staples. Also unless this claim is approved Iwill never step foot in a Staples store again. Here's the resolutionI'm proposing to Staples: I would like Staples to reimburse me for thecost my doll $3,000.
Help what I Need to do
I am insimilar situation, my wife shipped a palma TV ( 42" Panasonic)fro Staples stores, Olympia ph=3605700800, Mnager name =April) on7/11/2008 with origional Panasonic TV package paid for additionalpacking charges+ insurance charges for TV value of 800 and shippingcharges 240.00
The tv arrived broken and UPs asked to send back and contact Staplesfor claim. After 15 days the manager gave me a number and promised toget my money, in turn this a claim department and they are veryunhelpful and asking thousand questions and almost trying to itimpress myfault package is wrongly etc and fianly take n claim andgave the claim number, I do not when I will get my Tv refund it isalmost a month with out TV. UPS/ Staples are cheating me and puting meothers court all the time.
Help what action I need to take for resolve and gte my money.

Ditto - I have been working with Staples Claim Center for nearly 3months now. Have worked with at least 3 different Customer "Service"people. I had no idea what a mistake it was to think using Stapleswas like going directly to UPS. They do not seem to know what theyare doing in the store, and if something goes wrong (like UPS damageto goods I paid to insure) it's a nightmare to work through Staples toget UPS to act on the problem. UPS denies your submitted damagereport unless it comes through Staples and Staples Claim Center isremarkably unresponsive. Don't even mess with the fax # Staplesprovides...I really think the machine dispenses your faxes straightinto a trash can.
I had a similar experience with a toilet base that arrived via UPS,then was reshipped via UPS from Staples only to arrive as shards.
After UPS/Staples rejected the claim citing poor packaging, I calledthe Staples involved and obtained the manager's fax number. I thenwrote the manager a letter giving him two hours before I filed suit insmall claims court. Within 30 minutes, someone in Staples corporatehad called to verify my address for a check.
I had the check in hand via FedEx by the next day. For weeksthereafter, I received updates from Staples and UPS on why my claimwas invalid.

Sophomore Scott sizzles at bat, on the bases

by TIM ADAMS
After ranking fourth on the squad with only seven steals last season as a freshman, Scott is tied (through April 13) with Campana for the 2008 team lead -- each with 25. Scott's 25 steals have come in 30 attempts, while Campana is 25-for-32.
Scott believes the friendly competition within the squad can only help the team, so his goal is clear.
"I want to get one more than Tony," said Scott, "We keep competing with the stolen bases. Every time I get one, he wants to get one. All it can do is help the team."
Together, Scott and Campana form Coach Brian Cleary's version of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. These two Bearcats seem to be stealing everything in sight in helping the Bearcats to an impressive 9-3 BIG EAST record.
When asked about his amazing increase in stolen bases this season, Scott's response was almost as quick as his feet:
"Confidence. Confidence has helped me out there."
That confidence has helped Scott in more than just his ability to steal bases. His batting average has improved from .230 in 43 games last season to .313 after 29 games this year. He has a .402 on-base percentage in '08.
"The transition from my freshman year to my sophomore year gave me a lot more confidence and a better knowledge of the game," said Scott. "That year was a great learning experience. I got to see different pitches and better realize what my game was. I just need to hit the ball and get on base."
Coach Cleary believes the reasons for Scott's increase in thefts on the base paths are twofold.
"I think one thing that contributes to that is he's been on base more, and he's probably a lot more comfortable knowing what to look for and what to do," said Cleary.
The Bearcat coach compared Scott to Campana:
"He's not Campana fast, but he's not too far off. "
The Dublin (Ohio) Scioto grad has also given Cleary some flexibility on defense. Scott broke into the Bearcats' lineup last season as their second baseman and started the first eight games at second base in 2008 before being moved to left field.
"He's capable of doing both," Cleary explained. "He played some outfield in high school, but we started out playing him at second base. After some early defensive struggles in the middle of the infield, moving him to the outfield allowed us to get Chris Peters out there and that helped eliminate some of the problems."
When Scott moved from second base to the outfield, Josh Harrison moved from shortstop to second base. That created an opening for freshman Peters to stabilize the infield with his defensive play at shortstop.
Scott was willing to do whatever was best for the squad.
"I love the infield," he said, "but they told me moving to left field would be better for the team so I'm going with it."
Coach Cleary believes the position switch could also be in Scott's long-term best interest.
"All along we felt he was an excellent candidate to replace Tony Campana when he leaves so it made sense to make the move now," said Cleary.
Marge Schott Stadium has a lot of room in center field and the alleys, so having a speedy replacement for the Bearcat senior center fielder is a must for the future.
In a recent win against Toledo, Scott flashed his defensive potential when he took away an extra base hit from the Rockets as he raced to the left field line and made a diving catch of a fly ball. Teaming with Campana's speed in center field should make that left field gap even smaller as Scott continues to get more defensive experience.
When fans talk about Scott, the issue of his height is inevitably a topic of conversation. The Cincinnati media guide lists him at 5-foot-3, but he empathically refutes that figure.
"I'm actually 5-feet, 5-inches tall," Scott insists.
Despite the smallish stature (whatever it may be), Scott was the first Bearcat to hit a round tripper this season when he homered in the opening series of the year against Miami (Fla.). It was the first home run of his college career, and even he couldn't believe it left the yard. In fact, he stopped at second base.
Scott couldn't help but laugh when asked about the misunderstanding:
"Yeah, it surprised me a little bit. I knew I hit it well, but it must have gotten in the Miami wind."
Coach Cleary also got a hearty laugh remembering the incident.
"He stopped at second base thinking it was a ground rule double or something," the UC coach recalled. "I don't think he thought it went out of the park, and Miami has a very highly-touted first baseman named Yonder Alonso, who was homerless for the weekend. We came home saying who would have thought Jamel Scott would be ahead of Alonso in home runs?"
Hitting immediately behind such a base-stealing threat like Campana does require some patience, but Scott only sees the rewards.
"I'm comfortable hitting down in the count because I want to give him some pitches to get to second base," Scott said. "That gives me the opportunity to get him to third or score him on a hit."
Having such extraordinary speed at the top of his batting order also affects Coach Cleary's philosophy.
"You figure if one of those two guys gets on the bases to start the game or to start an inning, it gives us a pretty good chance to score," Cleary explained. "Their speed allows them to steal second, steal third, or score on a double from first. Their speed causes people headaches. You don't have to give up an out to get them to second base, and that's been helpful."
Scott was named first-team all-Ohio as a high school senior, and the Columbus- area native had some college options. He chose Cincinnati over Xavier, Samford and Alabama.
"Cincinnati was close to home," Scott said. "The facilities were great, and my parents could come see me play."
The athletic Scott, along with his buddies, Campana and Harrison, has a treat planned for Bearcat baseball fans:
"The fans are going to start seeing back flips from us when we take the field and after we win," said Scott.
With his best baseball still ahead of him, there might even be a back flip or two inside the coach's office as Coach Cleary anticipates having Scott return for the next two seasons.

Kyle Bartley has had an interesting winter at Arsenal. He made his first team debut in one of Europe's most hostile stadia last month and on Tuesday night he lined up alongside Sol Campbell for the Reserves.
The second-string captain is a big admirer of the 35-year-old and has been enjoying the experience of training with the former England international over recent months.
Campbell played at Upton Park on Tuesday night after securing a Reserve League registration while talks continue over the prospect of a permanent move back to Arsenal.
The defender made 197 appearances over five seasons with Arsenal rom 2001 to 2006 and naturally Bartley would love to emulate the success of the man he's been learning from.
"Sol is an Gunners legend," Bartley told Arsenal.com. "He's played for England and Arsenal and he's scored in a Champions League Final. If I can get anywhere near what he has achieved I would be very happy.
"He's been training with us for the last few months and it's great to have him here and try to learn from him.
"We spoke [before the game] and we said we have to communicate and try and help each other out. We were both lacking a little bit of fitness but it was fine."
And playing alongside Campbell wasn't the only valuable experience Bartley has had in recent weeks. The 18-year-old made his first-team debut in the Champions League last month, at one of Europe's most intimidating grounds.
With qualification to the Knockout Stages already sealed, the Reserve team captain was handed a starting berth for December's trip to Olympiacos.
The Greek champions couldn't afford to lose the game and their hostile fans were as vocal as ever in an effort to help their side progress from the Group Stages.
"It was amazing," recalled Bartley. "It was such a good experience in a hostile atmosphere and I was glad to get my debut and hopefully there will be more to come.
"It was quite nerve-wracking to start with. It was a different environment to play in because I'm not used to it."
Mikael Silvestre, who captained the side in Athens, joined Bartley at centre-half. The French defender is the most experienced player in the Arsenal squad and was more than happy to share his knowledge ahead of the game against Olympiacos.
"I spoke to him just before the match," explained Bartley. "He said he wasn't nervous but really excited [when he made] his debut and told me to try and enjoy it and go out and do my best.
"Mikael is fantastic. He's got so much experience and he's played in all those atmospheres before. He is really friendly and helps you out a lot on and off the pitch."

Reward To Be Offered For Information Regarding The Murder Of Officer Decker
Authorities investigating last month's shooting death of a Cold Spring police officer plan to announce a reward of up to $100,000 for information in the case. Information on the reward has been posted on the Department of Public Safety's website.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Stearns County Sheriff's Office at 1-877-782-5683 or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 1-877-996-6222 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Stearns County Sheriff's Office held a news conference in St. Paul Monday afternoon. A news release says officials are offering the reward in hopes that someone comes forward with information that helps solve the case.
Thirty-one-year-old Tom Decker was fatally shot Nov. 29 as he investigated a report of a possibly suicidal man. Police arrested a 34-year-old suspect an hour later. But he was released five days later after police and prosecutors agreed they didn't have the evidence to support filing charges.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says investigators are continuing to follow leads and gather evidence.

The Eco-marathon has multiple categories, and the UrbanConcept space - which features bigger vehicles that often have a bit of fun with style, like the Back To The Future DeLorean from St. Pauls School pictured above, which only got 72.4 mpg - was won by Mater Dei High School from Evansville, IN with 901.48 mpg. There were also a handful of hydrogen-powered vehicles, with the winner's crown going to the University of Colorado Denver with a score of 37.37 m/kWh. The Prototype battery-powered EV category was won by the Université de Sherbrooke from Quebec, Canada, with 202 m/kWh. The diesel-powered Prototype category was won by Sullivan High School from Sullivan, IN with a score of 1,899.32 mpg
There is more, including a video, below. Next year, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas will leave its home in Texas for the past five years and head north to Detroit. Will the Canadians do as well when they're closer to home?
28 Apr 2014
HOUSTON – After a nail-biting weekend of Université Laval and University of Toronto vying for the best mileage in the last Shell Eco-marathon Americas to take place in Houston, Université Laval's Alérion Supermileage team ultimately took top honors with an impressive achievement of 2,824 miles per gallon (mpg). With that kind of mileage, the Alérion Supermileage vehicle could travel from Houston all the way to Detroit – host city for Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2015 – on less than a half gallon of fuel.
Though Université Laval has dominated the competition five of the previous six years, they were almost dethroned by the University of Toronto due to some surprising friction problems that developed in the Laval team's vehicle's electrical system. Ultimately, however, the team overcame the obstacles and brought home the top $2,000 prize once again.
"Our team is very excited with the results of the weekend," said team captain Audrey Lainé. "Initially we had issues with our engine, but we came together as a team to fix it and are extremely satisfied. The University of Toronto and Mater Dei High School had very close scores to our team, which made the weekend even more exciting."
In the UrbanConcept category, Mater Dei High School from Evansville, Indiana, achieved a solid 901.48 mpg with its gasoline vehicle Elroy, breaking its previous record of 849 mpg and scoring the top prize of $2,000 for the UrbanConcept category for the third year in a row. The school's other entry, a Prototype battery electric vehicle, captured that energy category with 537.16 miles per kilowatt-hour (m/kWh).
Other top achievements included:
- Prototype diesel: The No Spark Plug Allowed team from Sullivan High School in Sullivan, Indiana, set a new record achieving 1,899.32 mpg with their vehicle Black Diesel.
- Prototype ethanol: The Tatonkatoo team from the University of Colorado Boulder in Boulder, Colorado, achieved 1,771.37 mpg with their vehicle Tatonkatoo.
- Prototype hydrogen: The UCDenver team from University of Colorado Denver in Denver, Colorado, achieved 37.37 m/kWh with their vehicle Archetype.
"We look at Shell Eco-marathon as a way to spark a passion for engineering among young people, as well as fuel the conversation around future energy challenges," said Wolfgang Warnecke, Shell Chief Scientist Mobility. "Each year we see new technologies that have been developed by these bright young minds, and we hope someday to see these innovations make their way into everyday vehicles."
Tech Advances Galore
Over its 30 various "editions," Shell Eco-marathon has seen radical changes in car design and the use of new technologies. For example, this year's electric-battery vehicle of Saint Thomas Academy of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, sported a 3D-printed steering wheel that the team designed to improve upon its previous touchscreen steering wheel. Team captain Ian Nichols noted that the 3D-printed wheel includes a button for radio communication between the driver and the rest of the team, as well as an easily accessible throttle near the top right of the wheel.
St. Paul's School from Covington, Louisiana, created the seat in its UrbanConcept diesel vehicle Indy, inspired by Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, by creating it from kombucha, a vegetable leather grown from yeast, sugar water and bacteria. Team member Marcus Garner said the team wanted to build fuel-efficient vehicles that incorporate natural materials and are also visually appealing.
Other technical advances included an entirely student-designed computer system developed by the Cedarville University team that measures factors like wind resistance and wheel speed in order to provide the team with real-time data to guide their driving strategy. Additionally, Rice University's vehicle, Alpha Centuria, was made to be ultra-lightweight with carbon fiber and composite materials, and Brazil's Universidade Federal de Itajuba team added solar panels this year to make its electric battery vehicle even more energy efficient.
Ingenuity, Flexibility are Key
Anything can happen with the vehicles, so teams must be ready to react and move quickly on alterations, or come up empty-handed. The team from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign learned, just nine days before the start of the competition, that its UrbanConcept hydrogen vehicle, EcoConcept, would not start due to a broken fuel cell. A last-minute decision was made to switch the vehicle to a gasoline-powered engine, a major challenge because the team's only experience was on hydrogen engines. They completed the changeover Saturday night during the competition but, despite their best efforts, couldn't complete a run this year.
Goodbye Houston, Hello Detroit
This year marked the eighth edition of Shell Eco-marathon Americas and the fifth year in Houston. The students will now gear up to take the Motor City by storm April 10-12, 2015. To drum up excitement for next year's event, Sullivan High School's winning vehicle will be displayed in Detroit's Henry Ford museum, and will be transported there by fuel efficiency expert Wayne Gerdes in the back of a 2014 RAM 1500 Laramie Limited using a new test market pilot fuel: Shell Diesel FiT.
New global partners HP, Michelin, The Linde Group and Southwest Research Institute assisted the student engineers by offering expertise, products and collaborative opportunities. The new partners added considerable value to the event, particularly with regard to innovation, technology, sustainability, mobility and tackling future energy challenges.

I'm disgusted with our elected represenatives. They no longer represent us! It's time to start over.
Much ado about nothing.
It has already been settled by the Supreme Court that a treaty does not override the U.S. Constitution.
Well, when we get together and elect President Ted Nugent, we will get all of this stuff corrected!
Did you look at the date on the story? It's from October of last year. It wasn't "just announced". This non-story has been posted probably dozens of times and it's been debunked that many.
The story is nothing. Consider:
1) We would have to sign on to the treaty, which would require 67 votes in the Senate. You couldn't get 67 votes to agree that the sky is blue, there is no way that a treaty with draconian gun control could get that many votes. They wouldn't even be able to get 51 because of the pro-gun Democrats.
2) Even if you could miraculously get 67 votes, the treaty itself gives discretion to each country regarding their internal gun laws.
Legislation you don't like but that might pass is not the same as "legislation rammed down your throat".
We have to stay aware! Our rights are being attacked from many directions not just here at home. It's going to be a fight every step of the way or 1/4 of an inch at a time, that is how the progressives work. They won't stop and neither do we..to defend our rights.
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. PSALM 144:1

Complete massacre of the English language in your first sentence thar.
Hmmmm... maybe. I'll withhold judgement until I see it, but I'm hugely sceptical. I guess you could use tilt control for forwards/backwards (pitch iPhone forwards/backwards); strafe (roll iPhone); and turn (yaw iPhone), but I'd imagine it would be quite unweildy and I don't know if the iPhone's accelerometer is sufficiently precise. You'd also need some kind of on-screen weapon select interface. I'm sure it's doable, but I can't see it being a particularly intuitive or fun way to play an FPS.Additionally, FPS' could be controlled using the accelerometer (with appropriate sensitivity adjustment) while shooting could be done by tapping the screen. I think it would be quite funny if a person sat on a rotating chair and swung viciously with iPhone in hand as they tried to turn ingame

On the 'Net
Visit www.steamboatspri... for information on the city's redevelopment and public improvement projects at the base of the Steamboat Ski Area.
Steamboat Springs City officials hope replacing the intersection of Mount Werner Circle and AprÃs Ski Way with a roundabout will improve traffic flow and make the area safer for cyclists and pedestrians. Work on the intersection began Monday and will continue through mid-September.
"This intersection showed from a traffic analysis that it needed some control," said Joe Kracum, the city's coordinator for public improvement projects at the base of the Steamboat Ski Area.
Kracum said the intersection is difficult for motorists who want to turn left off AprÃs Ski Way onto Mount Werner Circle and is not pedestrian friendly. Kracum said adding control to an intersection means one of two options: traffic lights or a roundabout.
"There wasn't too much favor for a traffic light," Kracum said.
The finished product will include new sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes and ramps, street lighting and drainage improvements. The city also hopes the project will create more of a village feel around the ski base since roundabouts force vehicles to slow down.
Derick Duckels of construction contractor Duckels Construction added that the new intersection will be flatter and much safer than an intersection that currently requires motorists on AprÃs Ski Way to come to a complete stop on a steep hill, which can be problematic in winter.
The Steamboat Springs Redevelopment Authority, an urban renewal authority created in 2005 by the Steamboat Springs City Council, is funding the $2.2 million project. The project will require the closure of AprÃs Ski Way near the intersection for about three weeks. There will be as many as 30 workers on the site at certain times, Duckels said. Work is allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, but Duckels said work usually will wrap up by 5 or 6 p.m.
"Saturdays are few and far between and only when no special events are going on," he said.
The scheduled completion date for the project is Sept. 15. Kracum and Duckels said they expect the project to be less invasive and problematic than the URA's first project last year on Ski Time Square Drive.
"The conflicts here are about a tenth of what they were," Duckels said.
When construction workers hit utility lines in unexpected locations last year, a costly Internet outage drew the ire of area businesses.
Similar interruptions should be expected this summer, but Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord said efforts are being made to keep them to a minimum. Also, DuBord said the city will increase utility capacity while the intersection is torn up.
"We've made a concerted effort to make sure the utility companies are really involved," DuBord said. "We're going to put a lot of additional pipe in the ground so we don't have to cut the pavement again for quite some time."
Jay Gallagher, general manager of Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District, said one water valve and one fire hydrant will be replaced as part of the project, resulting in one or two short service outages.
District Engineer Richard Buccino said units on the north side of Eagle Ridge Drive - such as Eagle Ridge Lodge & Townhomes, Evergreens Townhomes and the east part of Stonewood Townhomes - will be affected.
"Those, we think, are going to be out of water for less than half a day's time," Buccino said.
"Generally, the contractor will put tags on people's doors to let people know about the outage," Gallagher added.
Kracum said water is the only utility that workers plan to disturb this summer, but that doesn't mean there won't be unexpected conflicts.
"As we know from last year, you never know what you're going to find when you get underground," he said.
Phone messages left Thursday with Comcast and Yampa Valley Electric Association were not returned.
Far from worrying about the potential side effects construction could have on his business this summer, Market on the Mountain owner Bill Stuart is thrilled with all the hungry customers laboring at his doorstep. Construction of One Steamboat Place also is under way, and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. is expected to take on construction projects this summer.
"It is actually really good for us because summers are slow for us," Stuart said. "Construction and Triple Crown are the major part of our summer business."
The city's construction team is holding weekly construction meetings at 8:30 a.m. Fridays at the Snowflower Condominiums. For more information about the project, call Kracum at 871-7077.

Tuesday, June 12
By Nick Ames in Donetsk
You couldn't wipe the smile off Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's face.
Chatting with the national press in the Donbass Arena's 'mixed zone' - the area in which players conduct post-match interviews - before stopping for a few minutes with Arsenal.com, you had the impression that the beaming 18-year-old could have talked for hours.
Nobody could blame him. While his competitive England debut wasn't all plain sailing, he'd worked as hard as anyone to ensure Roy Hodgson's side began their campaign with a valuable point - and he showed some real glimpses of his unique talent too.
One first-half dart past Alou Diarra was among the game's most memorable pieces of skill, and the way in which he dispossessed a ponderous Adil Rami just three minutes in demonstrated that, as Arsenal fans have seen over the past nine months, he's unfazed by any occasion.
His work off the ball, something that can develop relatively late in young players, was effective too. In the opening period, his movement created space for Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck on several occasions, and - as he acknowledged after the match - he was also charged with ensuring that the marauding raids of French right-back Mathieu Debuchy were kept in check.
During the first half, Alex was stationed just metres in front of Arsène Wenger. The boss is co-commentating for French TV channel TF1, and couldn't have been better positioned to keep an eye on the youngster he signed less than a year ago.
He saw rather less of Theo Walcott, who didn't touch the ball after his late introduction on the same flank. If Theo's lack of action was something of a surprise, Laurent Koscielny's had already been explained by Laurent Blanc.
It's hard to see the France manager disassembling his trusted Mexes-Rami partnership during this tournament, although the latter's performance didn't impress this onlooker. You feel that the Arsenal defender would add mobility and composure to the French back line.
Perhaps perversely, working at a major tournament means you probably watch fewer games in their entirety than if you stayed at home. The remarkable events that sparked Ukraine v Sweden into life were only seen sporadically by most in the huge tent erected for the Donbass Arena media, the structure abuzz with the busy tapping of keyboards.
But there was no mistaking the strength of feeling provoked by Andriy Shevchenko's fairytale brace - fireworks exploded high into the sky above Donetsk upon the final whistle and a cacophony of car horns set in immediately.
What more natural place to make a beeline for, then, than Shevchenko Boulevard? One of the primary veins of Donetsk's transport system, it courses through the city centre towards the outlying suburbs.
If the sentimental value was there, the potential for a night out sadly wasn't – we were refused entry to a bar named after John Hughes, the Welsh industrialist who founded Donetsk, on account of its imminent closure. They did send us away with a large plastic bottle of the city's native brew – but if there was a party to be had, it wasn't here.
In a few hours' time I return to Kharkiv, a city that grew on me tremendously, ahead of tomorrow's match between Germany and the Netherlands. Could Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski's side strike a decisive, killer blow upon Robin van Persie and the Dutch? I'll bring you what news I can from the Metalist Stadium.

Anyway, my time in Kuala Lumpur (KL) started at a hostel which smelled of mothballs and would make anyone mad after a day or two there. Not to mention that the fact that when the toilet flushed it emptied into the floor as did the basin. So I rapidly found somewhere else to stay as I needed to rest my foot which had been hurt back in December. The x ray in Melbourne showed no broken bones but tissue damage and the doctor told me to rest up - as if!
So I spent a few pounds more each night and moved to a 3 star hotel. Staff were very nice and the brekkie was so huge it meant I didn't need to eat until dinner time.
I spent most of my time going to the cinema, eating cupcakes and resting my foot
I did see an amazing exhibition called the Sultans of Science about inventors from Muslim countries in the 800 and 900's. Flying machines, medical advances, clocks and so on. We seem to have ignored these inventors and claimed them all for ourselves in Europe. I also saw "Art and Architecture" about Foster +Company. They had fantastic miniature models of their outstanding designs around the world. breathtaking.
Of course on the final weekend I had the Malaysian Grand Prix. Friday was practice day and you can go into the main start/finish grandstand if you wanted. Saturday was practice and then qualifying and then Sunday was the main race. Alonso crashed out at the start of the second lap and that was right in front of me. I am sure you will all be totally bored by the never ending photos. At times like these I wish I had a better camera. Of course that would mean lugging more stuff around.
There was some amazing thunder and lighting storms and at one point I could see lightning hitting the KL Tower from my bedroom window - wow to have been in there when it happened.
One thing was strange I never saw ANY dogs the whole time I was there. I saw one scraggy looking puppy and that was it......hmmmm.
And then I moved onto Thailand......but that is the next posting.

Belvidere is a neat town in Warren County, New Jersey. Belvidere is the county seat of Warren County. It is a smart choice to live or relocate your business too, but if you don't plan on relocating or moving it is still a lovely town to learn about. There are beautiful churches in Belvidere and a welcoming community. Festivals like the annual Victorian days, Harvest Festival, Holiday Lighting Celebration take place every year in the town.
Belvidere reorganized as a borough after breaking up with Oxford Township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 7, 1845, based on a referendum held on that same day. It was part of Greenwich before 1754. It is now located on the eastern side of the Lehigh Valley.
On October 8th and 9th, 1716, Col. John Reading surveyed two tracts of the land on which Belvidere now occupy. The tracts were for two pieces of land separated by the Pequest River. On the north side was an estate of William Penn. On the south was the land of Col. John Alford. Both lands were nearly 1,250 acres in size. In 1750, Alford sold his tract to the McMurtries.
In 1759, the first settler in Belvidere and a tinsmith, Robert Patterson bought the Penn contract. Robert Patterson built a house on the site of Warren House. Then he sold most of his property in the 1760's, and it looks like he left Belvidere by 1769.
When Major Robert Hoops arrived and bought both lands on the side of the Pequest, he kept Robert Patterson house on the north side until 1800. But he sold everything on the south shore, including water systems to Robert Morris, the man who financed the Revolution and built a mansion for his daughter on Greenwich Street in 1780. The ownership was transferred to her in 1793, and the deed contained a condition that would delay expansion in that part of the town for years. Until the Legislature in 1818 negated that situation, and gave simple fees to four heirs after her.
Major Hoops was an old entrepreneur. He owned a corn mill and a wheat plantation. He traded in grain and used Durham boats to ship flour and other goods to Philadelphia. Major Hoops labored to open a channel through the Foul Rift. During the Revolution, he began a slaughterhouse on the site of D. C. Blair's barn, many wagons of beef and pork would travel to Washington to feed the starving army.
He is responsible for planning the entire northern part of the town and built the streets and lots for the way they are today, and he called the town Mercer. Before 1800, he sold all of his holdings to Thomas Paul and Mr. Hyndshaw and moved to Houston, right next door to CheckMaid maid service.
The name Belvidere was used for the first time by Major Hoops in one of his letters. That letter was written to Richard Backhouse and is now in possession of Miss Mary Clark. Some would like to argue that Belvedere translates to "beautiful to see," in Italian.

This article, entitled "Well, Well, Well. That's Not Something You See Every Day." comes from Erin Ferris at Chasing Roots.
Before we bought our house it sat vacant for nearly a year. During those 11 months, the bushes in the backyard (and the front yard and the side yard) grew and grew and grew until they looked like they belonged in a jungle rather than a tidy neighborhood. One particular bush cruised past the window in our breakfast nook, ripping multiple holes in the screen on its way up. We discovered the rips when we moved in and trimmed all of the bushes back, but because we never open that particular window, we didn't bother to replace the screen.
It turns out that the holes in the screen are the perfect size for lizards to crawl through, and they do so often. During the late spring, summer, and early fall months, lizards take naps and go exploring in between the screen and the storm window. I don't like enjoy their presence, but I let the little lizards do their thing because it's cheaper than replacing the screen.
But then last week, right before we left on vacation, I came home to find two lizards engaged in what can best be described as "adult lizard behavior."
The male lizard and his lady lizard friend remained in this tightly intertwined and positively unsettling (I'd go so far to describe what I witnessed as "stomach-churning") position for nearly 20 minutes, which was 19 minutes longer than I needed to take a picture and therefore 19 minutes too long.
As if I didn't find lizards repulsive enough already.

Other programmes in the subject of Philosophy:
Our Philosophy MSc offers you the opportunity to work closely with our staff in courses based upon their own expertise and current research. It will introduce you to the cutting edge of recent developments in analytic philosophy, from the practical and applied, to the most theoretical end of the subject.
The degree consists of a choice of a choice of four semester-length courses across a range of philosophical topics, all driven by the cutting edge research of our professors and lecturers. There is also a 10-15000 word dissertation to be completed on a topic of your choice, supported by an expert supervisor over the summer.
We always offer the following courses:
Students may either choose two topics and complete both semester-length courses in that topic (e.g. Metaphysics A and B and Philosophy of Language A and B) or choose semester-length courses in several topics (e.g. Ethics A and B, Philosophy of Mind A and Political Philosophy B).
New courses are planned for 2016-17 (subject to approval) in the following topics:
History of Analytic Philosophy including Wittgenstein and Quine A (semester 1) and B (semester 2).
The programme has been an intensely rewarding experience, setting me on a course to pursue a research degree. The proportion of personal teaching in one-on-one tutorials is excellent, as is the balance between the taught and research components of the programme.
Philosophy at Glasgow offers a diverse and dynamic research environment; at the same time, the size of the postgraduate community lends itself to a very cohesive atmosphere. If you're looking for an immersive and challenging master's programme within an active and rigorous philosophy community, I'd unhesitatingly recommend Glasgow's degree. I couldn't have made a better choice.
Rashida Ahmad
Taking the programme gave me a much-improved grasp on philosophical issues which are now central to my PhD, as well as being an excellent means to improving general writing, analytical and research skills.
In addition to the lecturers' approachability and small class sizes, as well as regular contact with dissertation supervisors, the weekly seminars (and social outings), help create a sense of community and a fairly relaxed atmosphere within the department; so that although the course is always challenging, it is rarely overwhelming.
Philosophically and socially, the programme at Glasgow is an excellent experience and one that I'd recommend to anyone considering studying philosophy at graduate level.
James Humphries
Philosophy students at Glasgow receive rigorous and personalised training in problem solving skills, writing skills, presentation and research skills.
All these skills are widely applicable and recognised to be exceptionally valuable in a wide range of careers, including journalism, teaching, the Civil Service, local government, business, publishing, law, and the arts.
This degree also provides an exceptional foundation for philosophical research at the doctoral level.
Normally a 2.1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in analytic philosophy.
International students with academic qualifications below those required should contact our partner institution, Glasgow International College, who offer a range of pre-Masters courses.
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training):
Common equivalent English language qualifications
All stated English tests are acceptable for admission for both home/EU and international students for this programme:
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.

Nurse Hit Nerve During Botox Injection: Will the Sensation Ever go Away?
I had a botox injection late October. When the Nurse injected between my eye brows I felt something pull on top of my head along with an electrical shock type of sensation. I told her immediately. Whenever I touched in between my eyebrows I will feel the same feeling on top of my head. It's been more than 3 months now and I still feel the same thing when ever I touch my forehead on the top middle part of my forehead. It moved from between eye brows to this new location now. Would ever go away?
Doctor Answers 2
Nerve hit during Botox
There are a lot of sensory nerves in the face and yes, what you are describing, a feeling like an electrical pulse from the site up into your head, is exactly what happens when a nerve is affected. I have never seen this be permanent, but I have seen it take up to about 6 months to resolve fully.

"This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
Nerve hit during Botox injection
Sometimes when Botox (or any other injectable product) is used on the face, it is possible that a sensory nerve can be hit during the injection. This does normally cause a electrical type sensation that travels along the course of the nerve. When this occurs on the forehead, the sensation usually heads towards the top of the head. There should be no long term issue when this happens although there can be a strange feeling when the area is touched for a period of time. In my experience, this sensation has always gone away but the time for it to resolve can vary.

I arrived in Colon with my 26-foot boat that drew four feet, made all the preparations to transit the Canal, and, several days later, I was motoring into the Pacific Ocean. My first anchorage in the Pacific was off the island of Tobago where the water was sufficiently deep that with enough rode, my boat was fine. It wasn't until I moved to Panama City and anchored off the Balboa Yacht Club that the extent of the tide and the havoc its changes could wreak on my world became evident.I set the anchor was set about 1,000 feet offshore, a distance determined to be sufficient because it was as far as I wanted to row in the oppressive heat with a dinghy full of provisions, and it was 20 feet deep out there. The tidal range was supposed to be about 15 feet, so I figured my boat was safe. That evening, I rowed over to another boat for dinner and it was when the rocking got so that bad dishes wouldn't stay on the table we realized something was wrong. My boat, the boat I was on, and another boat nearby were caught in the midst of a line of rollers sweeping toward the beach. Since the land shelved so gradually out to sea, as the water receded, the ocean swell that had gently rocked us upon our high-tide arrival had stacked up in the ever-shallowing water. I had counted on somewhere between one and two feet of clearance under the hull at low tide, and I got it. What I hadn't counted on was the shelving bottom that tripped the gentle swells and turned them into nasty breakers. The three boats bucked and rolled, sinking and rising from the mud with each wave under the keel and there was nothing we could do but watch until the tide bottomed out, the flood came back in, and calm was restored. The cleanup was gross because my boat had been thoroughly dunked in the filthy bay water, and I was very shaken by how close I had come to losing her. I shudder to think what might have happened in an anchorage with a rocky bottom.
Without a major in ocean sciences, I still don't know how tides work, but the essence of all this for the average sailor is that they do exist and they are a force to be reckoned with, especially when we sail into unfamiliar territory. What I do know is that tables covering most places in the world have been calculated, tabulated, and extrapolated for the mariner, and, thanks to them, we have all the information and predictions we need to take appropriate navigational action without needing to understand the cause behind every effect. So, next time the kids ask about tides, unless I've acquired another story, I'll pull a book of tide tables out of the same sailor's store. That should turn the tide and reduce the flood of questions to a trickle, and I'll still come out looking as if I know something.

AP Auto Racing Writer
LAS VEGAS (AP) — NASCAR has made sweeping eligibility changes to the Hall of Fame election process, including tweaks that make both Bill Elliott and Mark Martin immediately in line for induction.
Among the six changes announced Thursday is that drivers are now eligible if they have competed for 30 or more years in NASCAR or have turned 55 in the calendar year before nominating day.
The previous rule made drivers eligible after they'd been retired for three years. Drivers can continue to compete now under the new rules without compromising eligibility.
The ballot will also include only 20 nominees, down five from the first five classes.
NASCAR has also established the "Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions" that will begin with the 2015 class.
