Spotlight athletes: Elizabeth Forward's Josh Krieg, Yough's Jessica Cochran
Josh Krieg
Class: Senior
School: Elizabeth Forward
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Krieg qualified for the PIAA championships in the 100-yard butterfly and 100 freestyle, as well as two relay events. The senior swam a 48.78 in a rare 100-yard freestyle swim-off to lock him into the last qualifying slot.
"Josh has been a swimmer for four years. He has qualified for the WPIAL meet all four years and the PIAA meet for three years," EF coach Tammy Blackwood said. "Josh is very flexible and a very well-rounded swimmer. He has changed events in the past, but he is most focused on the 100-yard butterfly. He trains really hard and is really smooth in the water. He makes it look effortless."
Have you ever done a swim-off before?
No, that was the first time.
What was going through your mind before that started? Were you nervous?
No, I wasn't nervous because I knew the competition. We used to swim together, and he was a good sport about it. That is rare, and I just had to do what I had to do.
What are your goals for the state meet?
I think to just better my times and do the best that I can.
Will you be playing anything else in the spring?
I'm going to continue swimming in the spring. Nothing else in addition to that.
What do you enjoy most about swimming?
Just being with my team and my friends. The competition is great, too. I just like the fact that I'm able to be a team player and that everyone is always there for you. We suffer through the hard stuff together and enjoy the good times together as well.
What would you like to do next year?
Not sure what school I'm going to yet, but I want to go into the medical field — maybe something like personal training. I plan to keep swimming as well.
Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?
I would rather be outside in the ocean or something like that. I don't like the cold weather. My family goes to Myrtle Beach every year. I love it there.
Jessica Cochran
Class: Freshman
School: Yough
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Cochran will compete in the PIAA state finals in the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke, despite having no pool at her school. She qualified 5th in the butterfly with a time of 59.67 and fourth in the backstroke (59.65).
"Pookie, as she is known, has an incredible work ethic," Norwin Aqua Club coach Neil Jones said.
Jones has been Cochran's coach since she started swimming; he serves as her coach because Yough has no swim program. Cochran's parents are listed as her coaches for meets.
"She's very humble and supportive of all of her teammates. I've been coaching swimming for 16 years and I couldn't ask for someone with a better attitude. She would run through a brick wall if we asked her to. It's great to have her here."
Do you think it's more difficult for you because you don't have a home pool or does that just motivate you a bit more?
Well, I guess it kind of motivates me when I have to say that I don't have a pool. I feel like I have to prove to people we race against, but I also have to prove myself to my school district. Even though we don't have a pool, it's not going to slow me down. I'm going to keep going. Sometimes when people don't have a pool they quit and move on to other sports. I wanted to keep at it because I love it and I want to prove to my school district that I can still do it. When people ask what team I swim for, I tell them I'm unattached and that I don't have a team and they look at me like I'm crazy.
What do you enjoy most about swimming?
That's tough. Honestly, there are a lot of swimmers that get really focused and their whole life revolves around swimming, but I go to practice to see my friends and whatever happens, happens. It's great to make it to states as a freshman, but whatever happens after this is for kicks and giggles. My coach whipped my butt in practice this year, but I've learned that hard work does pay off. But mostly it's my friends that keep me going. I like seeing them and pulling pranks on our coach, so it's fun to go to practice.

Spice Girls to auction off iconic outfits
Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C and Heart's very own Emma Bunton are auctioning some of their most famous costumes for charity.
From platform shoes to Union Jack dresses, the Spice Girls influenced a generation's clothes at the peak of Girl Power.
Now, the former girl band will have those outfits for sale to coincide with the December launch of their new musical Viva Forever! in London's West End.
'I've got all my costumes still. I can't wait for Harper to grow a little so she can have some,' explained Victoria. 'But the rest I'd like to put up for charity, I think it would be a fantastic thing to do.
'Everything we did at the time was great, it really was great,' beamed Victoria. 'We watched a little video Geri put together and I think we were nearly all brought to tears.'
Items on sale will include Mel C's sporty tracksuits, Emma's babydoll dresses, Geri's raunchy mini-dresses and the girls' wedge trainers that they named 'the Buffalo shoes'.

I just had the Exilis done on my face and jowls. I am 53 and take great care of myself. The center is new to the community so I was a little nervous. I saw a special and thought I would give them a try--I paid $399 for 4 sessions! I had heard about the Exilis from a friend, but couldn't afford it at another location in Tampa.
They really went out of their way to explain everything and make me feel comfortable. I made sure to come in well hydrated as instructed.
I am a believer! After one session, I really feel noticeable tightening. The procedure was relaxing. There was a brief moment when it was too hot, but she made sure to tone the temperature down. I am very excited with the results, i can't wait to go back to finish my series of treatments. Will keep you updated.

If there was anyone with negative feelings about the Hall County Sheriff's Office Monday night, they chose not to voice those feelings.
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies held a public comment session Monday at the Hall County Courthouse to find out what local residents thought about the sheriff's department. The commission is currently reviewing the Hall County Sheriff's Office in its three-year re-accreditation and the comment session was a part of the assessment of the office's ability to meet CALEA's accreditation standards.
All of the nearly 25 people who spoke at the session praised the work, the kindness and the enthusiasm of Hall County Sheriff Steve Cronic and the Hall County sheriff's deputies.
Most of those who spoke for the sheriff's department Monday work in some branch of the local government, but there were a few, like Ruby Brawner, who did not.
Brawner said that the time allotted for each person to speak, five minutes, was not enough time for her to say everything she wanted to say about Cronic. Ten minutes, she said, would not be enough, either.
"You know it's in the Bible, that a tree is known by its fruit," Brawner said. "So Sheriff Cronic is the tree, and his fruit is his deputies. He has some nice officers; everywhere you go they are kind."
Brawner, who said she had lived at her Black Drive residence for 50 years, said her neighborhood was once plagued with a drug problem.
"On the weekends, we might as well forget about sleeping on the weekends," Brawner said.
"Cars would come down that road with their jukeboxes shaking our windows and shaking our doors."
But after Brawner notified Cronic about the problem, the Hall County Sheriff's deputies took care of it, she said.
"We can go to bed on the weekend now, and we can sleep, have a good night's sleep," Brawner said.
Brawner also had the sheriff take care of a similar problem near her brother's home. Brawner's brother was surprised with the speed in which the sheriff's deputies dealt with the two problems after Brawner
reported them.
"He said 'Ruby, since you get things accomplished so well, you ought to run for some kind of office,'" Brawner said of her brother's reaction.
"I said 'long as Sheriff Cronic in the office, I don't need to run for nobody,'" Brawner said. "'All I do is go to Sheriff Cronic ... he'll take care of that for me.'"
Brawner said she was so thankful for the work of the Hall County Sheriff's Office that she wished she could do something for them.
"I can't go in this drug house and help them out," Brawner said. "But one thing I do for them, I gets down on my knees and I pray for them everyday."

George Zimmerman is now safely at home and he will never confront the possibility of prison time. After all, he was "defending" his neighborhood from the evils of crime and criminals. Attorney General Eric Holder raised the issue as whether a "Neighborhood Watch" is really beneficial for the community. "We must stand our ground to ensure that our laws reduce violence and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent." Was there any need for a neighborhood watch in the Zimmerman community was not really addressed at the trial.
Fact: Crime has been declining over the past fifteen years all across the entire United States. Why: When the age bracket 17-28 declines so does crime whether one has Frisk Programs or not. As the age of a society increases-it is now about 34 in America, then crime declines. If one decriminalizes actions then crime declines. That is reality, not a neighborhood watch.

As moms, we have a huge responsibility of not only capturing our children's youth, but also figuring out how to preserve all those memories in an organized manner. I've compiled a few of the methods I found that work for me.
Scrapbooking – manual and online
I love to take pictures. I love looking back at pictures from when my kids were young and I love looking back at pictures from when I was young.
Taking all those pictures is one thing, but what to do with them is a whole other ball game. There is no sense taking all the pictures just to have them sit on your phone or camera for no one to enjoy. Thanks to great advances in technology the options are unlimited when it comes to what you do with your pictures.
Im a big scrapbooker so I make scrapbooks of all varieties. I used to print off the pictures and scrapbook each page by hand. To me, these are the best looking albums out there. I love the detail you can put into each page and all the decals and embellishments available. They make one picture say so much. However,
I've gotten away from manual scrapbooks mostly due to the fact that I just didn't have the space to do it anymore without the kids being able to get into everything, and taking it all out and packing it all up for one hour of work, just became too much. I found some great online scrapbooking sites that make it so simple. Its just a matter of uploading your pictures to their site. Some sites have templates already set up and you can autofill your pictures, add a few captions and your done. Other sites have all the options of manual scrapbooking, including pages, embellishments, and lettering. My favorite for this is artscow.com. Its very affordable and the selection is unlimited. They have themed pages, embellishments and a large selection of layouts.
Grade school folders
Besides pictures that we have taken ourselves, there is also so much other keepsakes that the kids accumulate throughout the year. Whether its a craft or workbook from school, medals or badges from sports or achievement awards from other activities, we are in charge of making sure these things get collected and preserved as well. Every year at the beginning of school, I purchase a zipper top file folder. I label it with the year and grade of school. All throughout the year, when I have something I want to save, I can place it in the folder. I like to make a note on the back of the craft or schoolwork about why I've chosen to save this if the reason isnt obvious. Those added notes will also add sentiment to the piece as they get older. It keeps everything all together, yet separated for each kid and separated by each grade. Each of the kids will have this own collection of memories when they get older. I know I love to look back at my old report cards and crazy crafts from when I was a kid so I hope they will too.
This blog
One of the main reasons I wanted to start this blog was to capture our story for the future. My random thoughts and collection of stories is just as much for them as it is for everyone else. They will be able to look back through the archives forever and will see not only themselves but my thoughts, feelings and values. This is a big one for me, since as the mom, I'm usually the one behind the camera and not present in a lot of photos. My kids may not see alot of photos of me with them, but there will be no mistaking how I feel about them and how I've enjoyed them.
Annual professtional pictures
When the kids were babies, I would try to take them in for professional pictures at least once a year. Now that they are in school, this is taken care of, so we try to get group pictures or family pictures done. My kids are the worst for taking pictures, so this is something I hate doing, but I do it for them. I've actually stopped looking for the perfect pose and started buying all those shots that are crazy. Because that is who they are. Whether their face is dirty, they are sticking out their tongue or bulging their eyes wide so they won't blink, those are the pictures I buy and give out. To give a picture of kids who are sitting pretty and smiling nicely is not who they are, so why lead people on. I'm brutally honest like that. I can't wait for them to ask me why they never had any "nice pictures taken when they were kids…
While a picture is a simple moment in time, a video is so much more. Sound, emotion and attitude all comes through. I try to get at least one video for each activity, each on stage performance and try to get random video clips at least once a month. I have just started to play around with iMovie, and so far I have made a trailor with a bunch of clips that we love to watch over and over again. I am currently working on a longer version with more and more videos. It has the highlights but not all the boring "in between" moments.
I hope one day my kids will appreciate the effort I've put in. As they get older and older, Im really realizing how quickly they are growing up. But at least I will always have them preserved for me to look back at.

- - Size of bone for puppy? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppies-raw-diets/423962-size-bone-puppy.html)
Size of bone for puppy?
I was just wondering what size of bone would be safe to give to a puppy (9 weeks) just for chewing purposes? I was thinking about going with the soup bones you can buy at the grocery store (as they're quite a bit cheaper than the ones at the pet store) but would those be too big? She would always be supervised when she had it of course. Is there such a thing as a too big bone when we're talking chew thing/toy? Also, and what age would chicken feet be appropriate? (again this would be as the occasional treat).
Raw shank bones, knuckle (soup) bones should both work. I have also fed veal soup and neck bones.
Chicken feet aren't huge so the pup should be able to handle them now. I have not fed them to puppies before.
An 8 week old GSD puppy should be able to eat a chicken leg - the feet would be no problem!
Beef neck bones are great for puppies as they are usually too hard for them to really consume the whole bone but have lots of meat for long-time chewing.

Daffy Duck The Philosopher - Poem by Raj Arumugam
daffy duck is tired
daffy duck is quacking tired of being drawn
and being scripted
and engineered
into always being a cartoon character;
daffy duck no longer wants to be
daffy duck the cartoon character
daffy duck wants to be a philosopher
which is all quite quacking satisfying
even just to think about
and so daffy duck the philosopher thinks:
daffy duck thinks, therefore daffy duck is;
but if I, daffy duck do not think I am daffy duck
and renounce all the scripts and the words
and the expectations and the roles,
if I do not think I am daffy duck
I am no longer daffy duck
or, for that matter, any quacking duck
and so (much to the dismay of loyal fans
who want always to be Daffy Duck Fans)
daffy duck is no more the cartoon character
and becomes daffy duck the philosopher;
and daffy duck the philosopher
thinks himself out of the quacking role
of daffy duck as any quacking duck
or anybody at all
(much to the dismay of loyal fans
who want always to be Daffy Duck Fans)

London, June 28 (ANI): Leaving her sis Kim kardashian and brother-in-law Kanye West disappointed at Glastonbury, Kendall Jenner chose to join bestie Taylor Swift for her concert.
Tabloid media reveals that the 19-year-old model decided to stay in London to support the 25-year-old singer, who was headlining the British Summer Time gig, instead of hopping over to join the 'All Day' rapper at the Pyramid Stage, reported the Mirror.
The reality TV star along with Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne joined the 'Shake it Off' singer on stage for her single 'Style' which is rumoured to be written about the singer's former boyfriend Harry Styles.
Jenner's choice to support the singer, who is currently dating DJ Calvin Harris, seems to be a funny one especially after her rivalry with the 38-year-old rapper, who didn't exactly let her finish when she won at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2008. (ANI)

Not one of Oprah's favorite things: Oprah says she ran into Swiss racism when a clerk at a Zurich shop, who apparently didn't recognize her as one of the world's richest women, refused to show her a $38,000 hand bag, telling Oprah that she wouldn't be able to afford it.
Orpah than ran up and down the streets of Zurich, pointing at its shop owners and yelling, "You get a lawsuit! And you get a lawsuit!"
Take two tokes and call me in the morning: CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta has recanted his earlier stance that marijuana held no medical benefits for people and was used mostly by "malingerers who just wanted to get high." Gupta says more recent research has convinced him otherwise that cannabis can benefit some patients.
Among those praising Gupta's change of heart was the National Association of Malingerers Who Just Want to Get High.
Don't know much about history: On this day in 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a measure that provided $20,000 payments to living Japanese-Americans who had been held in internment camps by the U.S. government during World War II.
See, Oprah, here's the difference: Actual victims of racism, even with an apology from their government, still wouldn't have had enough money to buy a $38,000 purse.

A Consistent Customer Experience Requires Consistency In Managing Voice, Electronic, And Social Interactions
Posted by Kate Leggett on July 16, 2011
- 1001 Recommendations
- 11 comments
Customers expect the same experience every time they interact with a company — whether it be when researching a product, completing a sales transaction, or getting customer service — over all the communication channels that a company offers. They also expect companies to have an understanding of their past purchase history and prior interactions. Finally, customers further expect that each interaction with a company adds value to their prior interactions so that, for example, they do not have to repeat themselves to a customer service agent when being transferred or when migrating from one communication channel to another during a multistep interaction.
How many companies can deliver a consistent service experience in this scenario?
Three fundamental elements are needed to deliver a consistent customer experience across all communication channels:
- A unified communications model. Companies need to queue, route, and work on every interaction over all communication channels in the same manner, following the company business processes that uphold its brand.
- A unified view of the customer. Each agent needs to have a full view of all interactions that a customer has had over all supported communication channels so that the agent can build on the information and experience that has already been communicated to the customer.
- Unified knowledge and data. Agents need to have access to the same knowledge and the same data across all communication channels so that they can communicate the same story to their customers.
Best-of-breed multichannel vendors such as eGain, RightNow, Moxie Software, and KANA Software have been delivering these three elements in robust solutions for the last decade for electronic channel management (e.g., email, chat, and SMS). Companies have historically managed the voice channel independently from electronic channels. This is because the agents fielding electronic interactions are typically organizationally siloed from voice agents, and the core technology is not integrated. However, to deliver on the promise of consistent customer experiences, this model must now be extended to encompass all communication channels: voice, electronic, and social.
These best-of-breed multichannel vendors are extending their models to encompass voice and social channels; unified communications vendors such as Cisco, Genesys, and Avaya are also embracing this model and have developed robust chat and email solutions. These solutions use the same routing and queuing model for voice and electronic interactions. In addition, a single agent desktop allows all of these interactions to be managed in a consistent manner, enhancing productivity as agents no longer have to juggle between disconnected systems to find the information they are looking for.
This focus on consistency continues; for example, last week Avaya announced their release of the Aura Contact Center 6.2 which, among other enhancements, allows agents to respond to social media inquiries from Facebook and Twitter directly from the desktop that they use to manage voice and electronic inquiries. It will be an interesting battle to watch as these unified communications players move into the space that has historically been owned by multichannel vendors.
This is very important. Too
Comment from Tom Weaver (not verified) on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 07:22
This is very important. Too many retailers (still) see these channels as segmented and silos. Online, they can begin building profiles of their customers and personalising their experience. When they walk into the store (or contact centre), they are anonymous again, and often staff have no way of accessing that online data.

Why 'Carmageddon' helped reset expectations of what CX can be
Comment from Rob Hilsen on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 13:50
Dear Kate,
Thank you for continuing to highlight this issue with your clients: "customers expect the same experience every time they interact with a company." I was interested to read your note didn't say customers also expect a great (or even a good) experience, though I suppose years of frustration have whittled away consumer expectations to the point where we're now content with merely getting a consistent experience. As someone who works in the customer experience industry (at RightNow) it's especially frustrating for me since I know what's possible with the technology that's available today. Years of inconsistent experiences, however, have lowered the bar for what we'll accept.
Some companies though – Porter Airlines, Zappos, Nikon, Overstock, to name a few – have made customer experience a differentiator that works in their favour. They've created a business advantage by making positive and engaging customer experiences a consistent part of their brand and, in doing so, they're winning over jaded consumers. They're actually raising the bar in terms of what, as consumers, we should expect. And they're showing that managing service-related business processes, such as migrating from one communication channel to another during a multistep interaction, needn't be difficult or a point of frustration for the consumer.
In his comment to your post, Tom Weaver points out that "Too many retailers (still) see these channels as segmented and silos." Retail is a good example as retail consumers can "vote with their wallets" by choosing to do business with organizations that meet their customer experience needs. I agree with Tom and I'll extend his comment by saying organizations of all kinds – your cable company (Telecom); the airline on which you collect "miles" (Transportation); the University where you register for courses (Public Sector) – can make better use of email, chat and SMS in conjunction with a knowledge foundation to deliver of up-to-date, contextual, and timely information that is consistent across all channels.
We saw it work this weekend: as my colleagues in the industry, Esteban Kolsky and Jeremiah Owyang, pointed out, "carmageddon" was essentially a non-event due to proper notifications. "Carmageddon," of course, was the term given to this weekend's closure of an 11-mile stretch of freeway in the nations second most populous city. That section of the I-405 normally handles half a million cars every weekend and in order to widen it the freeway was closed for 53-hours. But citizens in L.A. had proper notifications via government Web sites and phone channels, social media sites including Facebook and Twitter, and via free applications they were encouraged to download. One such application called Waze for Android, iPhone and BlackBerry phones provided updates on traffic congestion and offered immediate re-routes based on the crowdsourced, user-generated data.
The point here is customer experience technology can work and it does provide organizations with a competitive advantage when it goes beyond merely meeting customer expectations for consistency and turns an acceptable experience into a great one.

Its about being true to your brand
Comment from Kate Leggett on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 16:02
Forrester has a lot of data that shows that a good customer experience correlates to increased customer loyalty, as measured by the likelihood to purchase additional products, likelihood to recommend the product to friends or collegues, and the reluctance to switch away from the brand.
However, I disagree with the word "exceptional." What is important is to deliver the customer experience that is in line with your brand value - and to do it well so that your customers are satisfied. A customer experience from Apple is not the right experience for Apple or for Ikea customers.
One more point
Comment from Kate Leggett on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 18:24
In addition, a great experience starts with a consistent one - you got to get the foundations in order before being able to differentiate yourself from your competitors
A knowledge foundation is the essence of CX
Comment from Rob Hilsen on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 19:16
Agreed. And both good points: a customer experience doesn't have to be exceptional in order to satisfy the consumer; it's also true the foundation needs to be in place before an organization can offer up a consistent, satisfactory or exceptional experience. A knowledge foundation is the essence of every positive customer experience, which is at the core of business success.
And the good news is there are lots of tools available to help organizations solidify their foundations and "tame the volume of corporate knowledge that exists in disconnected silos."
Specific best practices are available, too, on organizational structure alignment, designing a framework for knowledge management, creating and maintaining relevant content, empowering customers with usable content, etc. I hope many more organizations will benefit from hearing you outline these best practices on your July 19th Webinar.
Brands and customer touch points
Comment from Anne Wood (not verified) on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 03:53
Great post, Kate. I agree with you that companies need to consider all touch points if they want to achieve a consistent customer service. Too often, as Tom points out, the touch points are silo'd and customers receive inconsistent or poor levels of service as a result. For example, it's inconsistent to provide quick customer service to someone who complains via social media over a customer who is struggling to be heard on email or voice channels. Companies cannot scale up their social media operation to rival the voice channels as customers cotton on to the fact that social is quickest. They need a way of monitoring all touch points. The single agent desk top using KANA's Service Experience Management makes this possible.
Brands also need to get real about what their level of service actually is. As KANA's EVP Mark Angel points out in his recent blog 'When Good is Best' (http://is.gd/NeJHBC) sometimes being good is 'good enough' (read appropriate). To quote Mark 'The most important concept of Service Experience Management is that the Customer Service organization does not exist to make customers happy – that's right NOT. The goal of customer service is to deliver optimal service outcomes for the enterprise: balancing cost, short-term revenue generation, long-term loyalty and process compliance. The right service experience is the experience that reinforces THE BRAND, and reflects the brand promise at the heart of the customer relationship.
Looked at this way, there is not only no point in trying to deliver what might be called "excess" service, there is positive harm. Imposing costs on the enterprise that don't drive value for customers inevitably sucks resources from activities like manufacturing, packaging and design. Over-engineering service experience is as destructive to the business model as over-engineering any other business process. And, high cost service is inherently out of step with the most common strategy for competitive differentiation: selling at low-cost. For Walmart, being the low-cost leader means the only gold-plated business process is supplier management.'
Comment from Kate Leggett on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 09:41
Anne- I disagree with the comment " The goal of customer service is to deliver optimal service outcomes for the enterprise: balancing cost, short-term revenue generation, long-term loyalty and process compliance". Its about a pragmatic balance between the needs of the business and the needs of the customer. If you dont keep your customers satisfied by delivering consistent service, in-line with your brand proposition, customers will take their business elsewhere. Forrester has a lot of data that proves this point.
Comment from Anne Wood (not verified) on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 17:29
I can't argue on Mark's behalf, Kate, other than to say I believe you are both saying the same thing but in a different way.

Wheel repair
Does anyone know a good shop that can fix really bad dented and cracked wheels?
Maybe check out:
dunns in the bx
Buy a new wheel.
Repairing can be a bit dangerous
for a cracked/damaged wheel al's hubcap is really good I've used him in the past and hes very straight forward wont sell you a dream if its unrepairable he will tell you and send you on your way.
i've used this place a few times for my rim issues. the guys are very knowledgeable and a lot of businesses actually send them rims for repair.
one of my rims was bent, but the imbalance would never show up in balancing machines. these guys can very precisely determine what's wrong. turned out i had a bent rim and my tire was defective with a static imbalance so i ended up getting a warranty replacement tire. on another occasion, i cracked one of my racing dynamics 3 pc rims (forced me to get a different set of rims b/c replacing it would have set me back over $1200 for just 1 rim). unfortunately they couldn't fix it b/c the crack went in 2 directions and it needed a new "cylinder" with a particular number of rivets which i couldn't find anywhere.
He refinished my stock 19" that had a ton of curb rash when I bought the car, he did really good work and was priced fair
I used to go to Al's, and yes Im from Westchester, until Al got his permanent man period. Now I go to Dunn Sport and Im very happy :thumbup:
I have a connect at elite powdercoating I can talk to, I got a wheel fixed at als hubcaps a few years ago and he charegd me 125 to just fix the crack, I got another wheel that had 3 cracks in it and was curbed to death, elite fully refinished the wheel and painted it you couldnt even tell the crack was there for 115.
did you know al's hubcaps put elite wheel repair in business
^^^ you fixed my wheel about 2 months ago and refinished it, Alot of the paint, powdercoat, whatever you refinished it with is all coming off and looks like crap
Intrack Tires is where i take my rims too in queens, but they are so stacked up, i went there and they have about 35 sets of rims to repair and powdercoat. So worth every penny.

The Wright State baseball team won its fifth straight Saturday afternoon, holding off Valparaiso 4-2 at Emory G. Bauer Field.
It looked bleak for the Raiders early as the Crusaders loaded the bases with no outs in the first on two walks and a hit by pitch. Andrew Elliott, though, was brought in relief at that point and he limited Valpo to just one run on a sacrifice fly.
WSU eventually took a 2-1 lead with a pair of runs in the fourth. Corey Davis led off with a home run to right, his second of the season and second in as many days, to tie the game and the second run came across as Tristan Moore singled, stole second, went to third on a Justin Kopale hit up the middle and scored on a fielder's choice play off the bat of Kyle Mossbarger.
Wright State extended the lead to 3-1 in the eighth as Ryan Ashe had a hit up the middle with two outs and scored as Kopale followed with a double to left center, only to see Valparaiso answer with a run of its own against Michael Schum in the bottom of the frame.
The Raiders, however, took advantage of a Valpo error in picking up a key insurance run in the ninth and Schum earned his fourth save of the year by retiring the Crusaders in order in the bottom of the frame, striking out the final two batters looking.
Elliott (1-0) was the winning pitcher as he allowed no runs or walks in five innings with a pair of strikeouts. Jordan Marker pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh as Elliott, Marker and Schum combined to go nine innings, giving up only one run, four hits and no walks while striking out seven.
Offensively, Kopale and Sam Picchiotti each had two hits.
Wright State (14-10, 6-2 Horizon) wraps up the weekend series with a single game Sunday starting at 2:00 Eastern.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our apartment is on the second floor of a lovely historic building in the very centre of Charlottetown, located above the café that we operate on the first floor. Despite its central location, the building is quiet: the apartment is located at the back of the building, and the building itself is old enough that sound doesn't carry. So you'll enjoy a calm oasis, but will be walking distance to everything: Province House, the Confederation Centre of the Arts, historic Olde Charlottetown, the waterfront (home to PEI 2014 celebrations this summer!), and Victoria Park are all close by.
The daily price includes breakfast at Casa Mia Cafe downstairs from your unit.
Located on Queen Street, the building was constructed in 1922 as the home to the S.A. MacDonald store and operated for many years in that capacity, with a new brick facade added in 1948. Queen Street is the historic commercial centre of Charlottetown: Woolworth's was once next door, and a variety of dry goods shops and institutions have populated the street over the years. In recent times this section of Queen Street has played home to restaurants, merchants and offices; the proximity to the Victoria Row restaurant district and the burgeoning Lower Queen area has breathed new life into the area.
Just downstairs from the apartment on the first floor is Casa Mia Café, which we opened in 2007. Casa Mia serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has a lovely sidewalk patio. As part of your stay in the apartment, the coffee is on us every morning, so all you need to do is come downstairs. Casa Mia is a family-friendly restaurant and we don't serve alcohol or stay open late into the evening, so you've nothing to fear from its close proximity.
We renovated the apartment on the second floor several years ago, installing new floors, a completely new bathroom, modern kitchen and new furniture. You'll enjoy a fresh, clean space without clutter, but with everything you need to enjoy your stay: a fully-equipped kitchen, high-quality linens, a comfortable, brand-new bed.
Owner of Casa Mia Cafe, raising two kids and enjoying PEI. I moved here in 2007 from Alberta with my husband and two kids Alexander and Yasmine.
Gina Aghdassi purchased this apartment in 2002
Our stay at Casa Mia down town was wonderful. Great location, clean, fully equipped with everything you need & more. The breakfast was delious & the staff was great. Gina & Noosh were wonderful host.
Looking forward to going back in the future.
Tom & Tannis
Fergus, On June 2017
We spent 5 days at Casa Mia. The apartment was well equipped with everything we could possible need. Nicely decorated, Very modern and up to date. It gave us easy access for touring downtown Charlottetown. The breakfasts were amazing. Beautifully presented, with lots of choices and delicious. Gina and her husband were gracious hosts answering all of our questions and ensuring that we were comfortable. Will definitely book again on our next trip to PEI.
Great location. Very nice one-bedroom apartment. Clean, comfortable and a great restaurant right downstairs. Host could not have been more helpful!
Parking is not included so you have to feed the meter during the day.
Great condo, very updated second floor unit. No elevator and every morning the garbage truck comes at 6am! Very clean and wonderful breakfast included. Needs black out curtains in bedroom, street light in alleyway shines into bedroom
This spotlessly clean, well furnished apartment is right in the heart of Charlottetown, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, theatres. Breakfast in the Casa Mia is included in the room rate and is a great added-value. Everything on the menu is included from toast to a full cooked breakfast. Our flight was delayed, and we didn't arrive in Charlottetown until 2am. By the time we retrieved our luggage and grabbed a taxi to the apartment, it was closer to 3am. And there waiting to greet us, were the owners of the apartment. That was definitely going "above and beyond!" There were, however, a couple of negatives: the bedroom is located at the back of the building, overlooking the rear parking lot with truck access for deliveries and garbage pick-up. It was quite noisy, with what appeared to be daily, early morning garbage pick-up.The only other negative was the lack of room darkening window coverings. This was only an issue because the parking lot was lit with security flood lights. That meant the bedroom was illuminated too! It was so bright I could read my book without putting the bedroom light on. We did all the standard touristy things: walked the boardwalk; visited Anne of Green Gables (lovely); rented a car and drove all over the island, had wonderful seafood at the Water Prince Corner Shop; ice cream from Cows; lobster, lobster and more lobster, Rick's fish and chips in St. Peters and the Blue Mussel restaurant in North Rustico Harbour were wonderful The Olde Triangle Pub is definitely worth a visit. Food is good and the Celtic music is not to be missed. Loved every minute of out stay; we can't wait to go again.
The apartment is beautiful and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. It is in a perfect downtown location where you can easily walk to many stores as well as to the shops at Peaks Quay. The waterfront boardwalk is also within walking distance. The breakfasts at Casa Mia are delicious with great customer service.

I feel down the road when they get older, stronger, and faster they will be a really good team, Trumbetti said. That intrigues me because maybe I could play early there.
The interest is mutual.
One of the coaches, my recruiting coordinator [inside linebackers coach Keith Dudzinski], Facebooks me a lot, Trumbetti, a 6-foot-5, 250-pounder, said. I get a lot of letters from Maryland. I get a lot basically from them.
If Maryland gets Trumbetti they'll be getting a self-proclaimed physical defensive end who models his game after Clay Matthews.
If you watch me all my moves are basically moves Clay Matthews does, Trumbetti said. I try to be him sometimes, his playing style.
Trumbetti has worked on adding more moves to his game this year, after having to rely on his brute strength to beat offensive lineman last season.
Last year I didn't have many moves, so I had to shouldered my way though them, Trumbetti said.
Trumbetti currently has offers from schools like Notre Dame, Maryland, Rutgers, Virginia, and Boston College.
Trumbetti is hesitant to name a top five or list of favorites. However, he is showing a little extra interest in a couple of schools- the two schools whose camps he attended this summer- Rutgers and Notre Dame.
I mean I don't want to say I have any favorites right now, Trumbetti said. I haven't visited any schools, so I don't really know. Right now, I really Notre Dame and Rutgers. I been a Notre Dame fan since I was young, and Rutgers is my state school. Those are my two standouts right now.
But as Trumbetti said, it's still early days; he still hasn't planned any visits to colleges this winter and spring.

Author recalls how Schindler's List was written
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - In "Searching for Schindler" Australian author Thomas Keneally recalls how he came to write the award-winning novel "Schindler's Ark," which reached global fame through Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning adaptation.
Despite the title, and by the author's own admission, the new book fails to unravel the enigma of Oskar Schindler, a black-marketeering, womanizing Nazi who saved over 1,000 Jews from almost certain death in World War Two concentration camps. But it is a tribute to Leopold "Poldek" Pfefferberg, the Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor who encouraged and cajoled Keneally into writing Schindler's story and helped bully Hollywood into turning it into a movie.
The indefatigable owner of a Los Angeles luggage shop, without whom "Schindler's Ark" would never have been written, emerges as the real hero, and the new book is dedicated to Poldek, who died in 2001, and his wife who survived him.
"I thought this man is such a large character that he deserves a book in his own right," Keneally told Reuters in a telephone interview from Australia.
"Poldek ... knew nothing about publishing and yet he was more correct than the publishers; he knew nothing about the film industry but again he was validated," he added, referring Poldek's unbridled optimism in the potential of the story.
"It's particularly touching that he did it primarily to honor the memory of a man who had saved him and his wife ... Poldek was the first one to say to me he (Schindler) was Jesus Christ, and although he was Jesus Christ, a saint he wasn't."
Schindler, through persuasion and bribery, convinced Nazi officials that the Jews who worked at his factory in southern Poland were essential to Adolf Hitler's war effort.
As Soviet troops advanced in 1944, Schindler's bookkeeper drew up the list of workers he wanted to take with him to a new factory site further west, sparing them from death. Poldek, born in Krakow, Poland, was number 173 on the list. Continued...

Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO a.k.a.: "Tesoro Petroleum", or simply as "Tesoro") is a Fortune 100[5] and a Fortune Global 500 company headquartered in Texas at San Antonio, with 2013 annual revenues of $37 billion, and over 5,700 employees worldwide.
Tesoro is an independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products, operating seven refineries in the Western United States with a combined rated crude oil capacity of approximately 845,000 barrels (134,300 m3) per day. Tesoro's retail-marketing system includes over 2,264 branded retail gas stations, of which more than 595 are company-operated under its own Tesoro brandname, as well as Shell, ExxonMobil, ARCO, and USA Gasoline brands.
Tesoro was founded in 1968[6] by Dr. Robert V. West Jr,[7] primarily engaged in petroleum exploration and production (Tesoro is the word for "Treasure (or Treasury)" in both Italian and Spanish).[citation needed] In 1969, Tesoro began operating its first refinery, near Kenai, Alaska: Tesoro Corp. became the first Fortune 500 company to be headquartered in San Antonio.
In the late 1990s, Tesoro grew through a series of acquisitions and initiatives that created Tesoro Corporation, the company focusing on a single core business: petroleum refining and marketing. Acquisitions expanded refining capacity from 72,000 barrels per day (11,400 m3/d) to approximately 664,000 barrels per day (105,600 m3/d).
Milestones in the company's history are:
- 1998: acquires second refinery (after Nikiski) in Kapolei, Hawaii along with petroleum terminals and approximately 30 retail stations in Hawaii from BHP Americas - also acquires the former Shell refinery at Anacortes, Washington;
- 1999: sold exploration and production operations;
- 2001: purchased refineries in Mandan, North Dakota, and Salt Lake City, Utah from Amoco;
- 2002: acquired Golden Eagle Refinery in Martinez, California from Ultramar (Valero);
- 2003: sold Tesoro Marine Services to Martin Midstream LLC: Tesoro Marine Services were operating fueling and supply terminals servicing US Gulf Coast oil and gas exploration - also made a series of refinery acquisitions that boosted the company's capacity output and positioned it for future expansion in key growth markets throughout the Western United States;
- 2005: largest capital expansion program in the corporation's history and record earnings;
- 2007: announcement of purchase of Shell's refinery at Los Angeles refinery and approximately 250 Southern California retail stations;
- 2007: Tesoro acquires USA Gasoline;
- 2009: Tesoro employees move into a newly completed corporate campus in July.[8]
- 2011: Tesoro forms Tesoro Logistics LP (TLLP) as a master limited partnership;[9]
- 2011: Tesoro acquires 250 ARCO (Thrifty Style Stations) and Thrifty Stations in Southern California;
- 2012: Tesoro changes the 250 ARCO (Thrifty Style Stations) and Thrifty Stations in Southern California to USA Gasoline;
- 2013: Tesoro purchases the Carson Refinery and the ARCO brand from BP;
- 2013: Tesoro sells its Kapolei refinery to Par Petroleum.[10][11]
- 2016 Tesoro purchased Dakota Prairie Refining in Dickinson, North Dakota from WBI Energy. Construction of the refinery was completed in the spring of 2015.[citation needed]
- 2016: Tesoro Corp has agreed to buy Western Refining for $4.1 billion.[12]
- 2016/17 Par Pacific Inc. rebrands its Tesoro and 76 gas stations as Hele. [13]
- 2017: Tesoro announces that it will be changing its name to Andeavor following its acquisition of Western Refining. [14]
Tesoro Corporation's executive management team comprises:[15]
- Greg J. Goff – President and CEO
- Keith Casey – Executive Vice President, Operations
- Kim K. Rucker – Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
- Steven Sterin - Executive Vice President, CFO
Media controversy[edit]
Environmental record[edit]
Having taken over BP installations, researchers at the Political Economy Research Institute identified Tesoro as being the 24th-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States, releasing roughly 3,740,000 lb (1,700 t) of toxic chemicals annually.[16] Major pollutants emitted annually by the corporation include more than 400,000 lb (180 t) of sulfuric acid.[17] following which the Environmental Protection Agency named Tesoro a potentially responsible party for at least four superfund toxic waste sites.[18] Tesoro has settled and/or closed each of the superfund sites for which it has been named as one of many responsible parties. Tesoro was listed as a de minimis contributor to a superfund site in Abbeville, LA, and the site has since been closed by the EPA.
Tesoro has given over $1 million in support of California Proposition 23, which aims to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.[19]
Defenders of the Amazon forest in South America cite Tesoro for sourcing some of their crude oil from the Amazon. Three of Tesoro's refineries- Anacortes (WA), LA (CA) and Golden Eagle (CA), are known to process Amazonian crude oil.[20]
On April 2, 2010, there was an explosion at the Anacortes refinery with seven deaths.[21]
After the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, Tesoro bought Libyan crude oil in early April 2011 from the Vitol Group to supply its then-Hawaiian refinery.[22]

"It's frustrating, but what are you going to do, stop creating chances?" Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said after the game. "For some reason at home right now ... maybe there's some cellophane around the goals."
Seattle striker Fredy Montero seconded the frustration after his team had all the best chances on goal. "The team played very well and we showed desire," Montero said. "He's a good goalkeeper. He got the shutout, even though our keeper didn't have a dangerous ball and left with a clean uniform."
Seattle (9-6-11) moved to 38 points after 26 games played and is still in contention for the postseason; however 10 other MLS teams are also in position to end up in the top eight in the league and get a playoff spot. Chivas USA has 37 points but has played two fewer games, giving it an advantage. Seattle now plays three of its final four games on the road.

[Mathematica 6] What happened to the 5.2 HELP interface? Can one get it back?
When I click on help in Mathematica 6, the familiar help interface is all
Now one gets a new thing called Documentation center.
I much prefer the old help interface. It was clear, and easy to use. The new
one is hard to use and now one does not know where everything else is. There
is no place to even enter something to search for. One must start by erasing
the string "grid/Mathematica" from the little window at the top to clear it
out. Very annoying. before things where laid out in tabs. Now everything is
a link and one must keep clicking on links all the time.
Is there a way to tell Mathematica 6 to use the old help interface (same
help as in 5.2)? I looked as some options and such, but none there. I wish
they kept the old help system there for those who want to use it.

Several manufacturers of LVL and wood I-beams have obtained fire ratings on whole floor and ceiling assemblies by using their products with a Type X drywall facing the interior. For example, a one-hour fire-resistant ceiling assembly using TJI joists requires two layers of 1/2 inch Type X drywall applied to the bottom joist flange. A comparable one-hour assembly using solid-sawn joists requires one layer of 5/8 inch Type X drywall.Since there are no "generic" wood I-beams (each is engineered to perform in specific ways) there is no generic assembly that achieves a certain fire rating.
