Service/Maintenance Contracts Are the Best Source of RMR
Service and maintenance agreements have become a leading weapon to fend off economic evils while helping security companies survive to grow another day. Discover their advantages and how to successfully integrate them into your business.
[IMAGE]11976[/IMAGE]Developing a Pricing Scheme
So how do you price it so you not only boost profitability but can potentially pass some of it along to your treasured customers?
Brady recommends using 5 to 10 percent of the installation price divided by 12 months to determine the maintenance portion of bundled RMR on a commercial account. For residential customers, he suggests adding $10 to $15 a month to the package and charging for parts only when service occurs along with free labor.
Those are good starting points, but in practice figuring out what makes the most sense may require taking several variables into account. The Protection Bureau uses 12 to 14 percent of the value of the installation or system as a baseline. The type and complexity of the system (i.e. intrusion vs. video surveillance vs. fire/life safety) as well as the application (i.e. retail vs. health care vs. office) and environment (i.e. weather in Pittsburgh vs. Los Angeles) play a role.
One of the value-adds The Protection Bureau incorporates into its service plans as a customer incentive is priority response when assistance or repairs are needed. But such promises do not mean much if you don't deliver when called upon. So Ladd also stresses the importance of proper training and adequate staffing.
"If we have to choose between going to a time and materials customer or a service plan customer, the service plan gets first response," he says. "But the biggest factor is to make sure your people are trained on the products and services you offer. Make sure your service department is staffed appropriately. Can you respond in 24 hours or less? Nothing frustrates a client more than paying for a service plan and then having to wait eight weeks to get somebody out there."
ComTec helps its clients feel like they are making an informed, intelligent decision by signing up for system maintenance. The company details the multitude of things that are likely to or could go awry and just how costly such eventualities could be fiscally as well as productivity wise.
"We talk about what it would cost to maintain their project, as well as the software applications and equipment over its life expectancy. We talk about some of the things that could go wrong with not having a maintenance agreement," says Vertolli. "Maintenance agreements are insurance for both parties. There is a mathematical balance between what the equipment costs the end user, which would be the vendor's cos
t plus markup, and then there is the vendor's cost minus any depreciation in the market."
For those starting from scratch or looking for more ballpark figures, some additional metrics from TRG Associates are helpful. The company's data indicates the average number of annual service visits for a commercial intrusion alarm system is .85; access control or CCTV, 1.75; and fire, 2.5. Internally, job costing must include administrative, accounting and customer service expenses, as well as field technicians. The latter, according to TRG, tallies up to $3,600 to $5,504 per month, including salary, benefits, truck and communications.
New Service Paradigm Emerging
Rapidly advancing changes in security technology is having a profound impact on the way products and systems are used and serviced.
Evermore sophisticated, software-driven security and fire/life-safety equipment is helping reduce time lost in the field and the associated costs thanks to capabilities for these devices to be diagnosed, updated/upgraded and sometimes even repaired remotely. While this may require a little more training and IT expertise on the backend, it is more than offset by avoiding all the costs related to rolling a truck. If a field tech is required, it can lessen time spent at the location.
"A high percentage of the time we gain access to the customer's system and can actually provide some remote service diagnostics," says Ladd. "When we have the capability to get into their systems remotely, we might be able to make software changes. Or we can troubleshoot what the problem is so when the service technician actually goes onsite he has a better understanding of what the problem is and can get the repair done faster."
As a telecom and IT specialist expanding into security, ComTec is especially familiar with providing service remotely and very comfortable with physical security's migration onto enterprise networks. According to Vertolli, as convergence erases the physical-logical barrier service and maintenance becomes even more integral to the security proposition.

The Carnival of Running #32 – National Running Day Edition
Welcome to the 32nd edition of The Carnival of Running!
It's National Running Day, which for us is about as exciting as National Breathing Day, so save your energy for Friday, which is National Doughnut Day! You'll need your stamina.
If you didn't see Tyson Gay destroy an all-star field at the Reebok Grand Prix, here's video of the race.
The Nike Mile featured a host of elite runners, but a lot of attention was also paid to seventh-grader Paige Rice, who finished in 5:00.56.
Ben Passons takes on some running myths, but he should spend some time with Tara Parker-Pope at the New York Times, who unintentionally reopened the Gallowalking can of worms. For the record, anything that gets you through the distance on your own two legs is OK in my book, but anyone who gets faster from Gallowalking must have been pretty bad at pacing before trying it.
However, Gina Kolata of the Times has something better: the fact that there are a lot of people giving running advice who don't know what they're talking about. Meanwhile, Andrew W. Lehren writes about a little-examined topic: runners who DNF.
The London Evening Standard has a review of various running programs, but my favorite was the Trainer 5k app for the iPhone. The columnist mentions the voice told her "Run for three minutes" and she kept going and going and going… until she realized she had inadvertently hit the pause button.
Alas, I was unable to participate in the Great Kilted Run last week, but it did bring to mind the saga of The Scotsman, by Brian Bowers.
A Gannett newswire story simply wanted to let us know that people 50 years of age and older can benefit from strenuous exercise, but despite two attempts, they can't get their comma placement quite right, and the commenters are letting them have it.
The San Diego Union-Tribune just has to remind us how damnably slow marathoners are these days.
The Bleacher Report interviews the founder of a running club and asks, "Speaking of cravings, you haven't gone for a run in a week, and you haven't had sex in a week, which do you crave more?"
Lots of news about elite runners in this Boston Globe story, including the tidbit that Kara Goucher will "run another marathon this year before trying to start a family." Maybe hubby was doing speedwork while she needed long, slow distance.
Jeff, who is some young guy who runs, reminds us that Life Isn't Over at 40. Check out his blog.
Japan Running News has an item about a proposed marathon course, about half of which will be through an underwater tunnel. I've had a few races where I thought I was six feet underground, but this would be a new experience.
How about a blanket review of every running book that has been published recently?
The Running Moron gets eyeballed on the treadmill.
Over at Slow Runnings we learn that it's tough to do push-ups when you have arms like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Run DMZ clues us in about Racevine, a site devoted entirely to race reviews. Worth a look.
Who is carpeviam? We still don't know, but she is evidently one of several dishy women.
Finally, congratulations to Carlee at Chasing Forrest Gump and Chic Runner for their marathon finishes, but Chic Runner gets a bonus for her misspelled autograph from Ryan Hall!
That's all for this time, friends. Submit your posts to firstname.lastname@example.com. Now run away!

Drugs possible motive in Stockdale killing
Updated 10:59 am, Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Authorities believe drugs were the motive behind the slaying of a San Antonio man in Stockdale last week.
Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt said county employees discovered the body of Dakotah Reynolds, 22, about 1:15 p.m. on Nov. 13 in the northeaste corner of the Quail Run Golf Club near Longhorn Road. Deputies the next day arrested Kyle McKay, 18, and charged him with murder in connection with Reynolds' shooting death.
"We suspect it had something to do with drugs," Tackitt said, "but we have no proof at this time."
Records show both men have a criminal history. Reynolds had been arrested in November 2008 for theft and again in January 2009 for aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony. He pleaded guilty to the more serious charge.
McKay pleaded no contest to a marijuana possession charge from October 2011 and received deferred adjudication.
News Channel
Tackitt said Reynolds' body appeared to have been at the location no more than about 30 minutes, because hog hunters had not seen it as they passed through the area shortly before he was found.

What are responsive behaviours
When we ask people who work or live with people who have dementia about the number one difficulty they face as a care provider, the answer is always challenging behaviour, such as aggression, wandering, physical resistance or agitation.
We call this behaviour "responsive," because it is not unpredictable, meaningless aggression or agitation. We understand stand that:
- The person is responding to something negative, frustrating, or confusing in his or her environment
- The reasons or triggers for challenging behaviours may be external rather than within the individual
- Problems in the social or physical environment can be addressed and changed

Crystallization of enzymes in presence of impurities is important for
clarifying the role of enzymes in natural world. Although it is proposed that
impurities inhibit nucleation of enzyme crystallization, details are unclear.
In this study, crystallization of cellobiohydrolase from Aspergillus niger was
investigated by dynamic and time-resolved static
light scattering using cellobiose as an impurity. We aimed to clarify how
cellobiose inhibits cellobiohydrolase crystallization and to
crystallize cellobiohydrolase in concentrated cellobiose without using seeds.
The contribution of attractive forces to total intermolecular interactions of
cellobiohydrolase monomers increased with the molar ratio of
cellobiose/cellobiohydrolase (R(cb/ce)).
Association dynamics of cellobiohydrolase using lithium sulfate, however,
showed that the initial aggregation rate decreased with an increase in R(cb/ce). Because binding sites of
cellobioses to cellobiohydrolase molecules differed from those for the growth
of protein crystals, the binding of cellobioses would increase the chemical
potential of the cellobiohydrolase monomers, which gradually reduced supersaturation for growth as the aggregate size increased.
This result was in contrast with the conventional idea that cellobiose inhibits
the nucleation of cellobiohydrolase crystals. Gentle agitation of cellobiose-containing cellobiohydrolase solutions during sitting-drop
vapor-diffusion growth resulted in the growth of cellobiohydrolase single
crystals for all R(cb/ce)
conditions without using seeds.

Planning Ahead Can Save on Health Care
Eva, 74 and a widow, was a healthy and independent woman until she went shopping one day last December and was mugged. She was attacked with a screwdriver and thrown to ground, breaking her shoulder in four places.
"I ended up on the sidewalk, totally helpless," said Eva, who lives in Westwood and prefers to not give her last name. "I went from being very active to being disabled. My recovery was very painful, and I am still not done."
Eva was hospitalized for a month, and when she came home, she found that she needed nursing care and help doing basic tasks around the house, such as bathing and getting dressed.
"A nursing home just didn't appeal to me," Eva said, and so she found home care. The cost of such care was between $17 and $20 an hour, and Eva needed it at least 16 hours a day for six months.
The cost of her care could have totaled in excess of $55,000 for those six months. However, Eva was able to avoid the expenditure because she had a long-term-care insurance policy that she bought the year before. The premium cost $2,273.
Because elder care can be an enormous drain on an individual's resources, with nursing homes costing in excess of $100 a day and home care costing even more, planning ahead and buying long-term-care insurance is one way of preventing the costs from being too overwhelming.
For some in the Jewish community, long-term-care insurance — and particularly the home-care policies — can also have a religious significance. They see it as a facet of the mitzvah of Kibud Av V'em (honoring one's parents), because it allows children to have peace of mind about their aging parents living out their last years with dignity.
In a 1998 article written by Joel Schwartz in the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists Newsletter, Schwartz argued that according to Torah, home care is preferable to nursing-home care, because institutionalized living brings with it a certain loss of honor. While some nursing homes are cheery and bright, others may be drab, unfriendly and, in some cases, even detrimental to the health of those who need care.
Government regulations require nursing homes to provide 3.2 hours of care per patient per 24 hours. In some cases, a nursing home might cut corners because it does not hire enough staff to meet the requirement.
In such a scenario, which some experts in the field say is not uncommon, patients who are severely incapacitated will suffer. They said bed-ridden patients might develop bedsores, because they are not turned often enough, and incontinent patients might be diapered to save labor costs.
Few people want their parents to suffer such problems, but many with aging parents have their own families to provide for and do not have the time or resources to take proper care of their parents themselves.
For many people, long-term-care insurance provides the answer to the problem. Although the premiums might appear high — and even seem useless if the person paying them is healthy — they can end up saving people tens of thousand of dollars if the need for long-term care should arise.
Karen Shoff, a Santa Monica gerontologist, insurance agent and author of "There's No Place Like a Nursing Home: Four Powerful Steps That Will Change Your Life" (Invisible Ink, 2002), believes that planning for one's physical retirement is as important as planning for one's financial retirement. Shoff advises people to start planning for their twilight years in their 50s and 60s, so that they will be able to avoid both nursing homes and the costs involved with home care.
Shoff's plan involves buying a long-term-care policy, appointing a geriatric-care manager who can assist with legal and medical issues and find services, making a living will that spells out how a person wants to be cared for in the event of an illness and finding an ally who will help carry out the plans.
"You can't wait until the fire's there, and people are tearing their hair out," she said. "You need to plan ahead logically."
However, there are some who shy away from long-term-care insurance because they see it as unnecessary to pay premiums above and beyond health insurance and Medicare, which they believe will cover most emergencies. Furthermore, many people argue that, depending on the circumstances, nursing homes can provide better service and offer a wider variety of resources than a home care, in addition to having a social setting that might not be available at home.
"There is an understanding in halacha [Jewish law] that sometimes a parent needs to be put in an institution — for example, if the parent has dementia, and the children can't handle the burden" said Rabbi Elazar Muskin of Young Israel of Century City. "You need to weigh up the circumstances."
Still, others credit their long-term-care insurance and the home care it bought them with peace of mind. "When I took out the policy, my children kept telling me that I was throwing money out the window," Eva said. "But after I was mugged, they were relieved that I had this help, that I was OK and that I was not going to be dependent on them."

Survey of employers in twelve states on health care financing reform
The Foundation's program, State Coverage Initiatives, was designed to help states plan and develop insurance market reforms, Medicaid reforms, and other significant health care financing and delivery changes.This program contract supports a survey of employers in 12 states. The survey will be used to: (1) analyze the expected effects of the states' proposed reforms on health care use and costs; (2) form the baseline from which future evaluation of the effectiveness of reforms could be gauged; and (3) enable cross-state analysis of national health policy reform options affecting the states. In each of the 12 states, 2,000 interviews will be completed with employers. The survey data will be collected by telephone and mail, and will include information on employer characteristics (e.g., industry, size, and payroll), health insurance offered, and employee characteristics. Data will be delivered during 1993 to each of the 12 states and public use data tapes will be made available in early 1994 for analysis by others. Questionnaires and methods will be disseminated to all states for possible replication of the survey.

If you are a soon-to-be parent, you must have been confronted with huge amounts of choices about the products and services you will want to make use of when your baby comes. A hospital delivery will ensure your baby will be provided with starter diapers. If you are a first time parent, most likely you may not have a clue which diaper brand is going to be the best for your baby. Since you were in the hospital and probably receiving the diapers, you will have an assumption that if the hospital is providing them to you, then they must be good.Even if hospitals can provide supplies to any of its patient, they do not necessarily have favored diaper suppliers. Normally, manufacturers produce supplies of diapers to hospitals as a marketing approach to get parents enamored their product. This is a helpful technique, if you can allocate $30 for every week for three years, the price of the initial diaper supply has already been paid off.Nevertheless, as a parent, you should determine which diapers are exactly for your baby. By now, you have been amazed over the separate fingers and separate toes. It is the precise time to find out which diaper will protect your child's bottom. A part of determining which diaper will function is acquiring comprehension how diaper sizing functions. Frequently, diapers are sized subject to weight. The quantity of diapers for every pack also reduces as the size of the diapers enlarge. This means you will obtain less diapers for every pack as your baby gets bigger.Here's A Simple Example Of Different Diapers SizesTo acquire a more appropriate comprehension with diaper sizing, we would like to discuss a brand of disposable diapers and their sizing metrics.As most babies are born under ten pounds, the standard newborn diapers will be appropriate. They are categorized for up to ten pounds. Some parents forego the newborn diapers and opt for size 1-2. This is realistic by weight, but does not take into account diaper accommodations for the umbilical cord stump. Newborn diapers are specially designed to leave room for the cord stump to heal and eventually fall off, which typically occurs a few weeks after birth.As your child grows, you will utilize weight as a measuring method to conclude whether you require to move on to the next size. Finding out if your child has output capacity for the next size should be determined. Such as, when your child gets to 16 lbs., then you can purchase size 3. But if your child has prolonged weight gain or is below the weight ratio, your child still may have the output ability of size 3 diapers.Disposable diapers range in size from Newborn to Size 6, which accommodates over 35 lbs.The normal size weight ranges are:-Up to ten pounds: newborn-8 to 15 pounds: Size 1-2-16 to 28 pounds: Size 3-22 to 37 pounds: Size 4-27 plus pounds: Size 5-Over 35 pounds: Size 6After your baby has accelerated from diapers, you can stay with the diaper products and convert to training pants. Furthermore, should you intend to use up some time swimming or go at the wading pool within the summer, you will want to invest in a package of swim pants to guarantee your baby will have a great time at any water attractions you plan to visit.My baby is currently using Huggies Diapers Size 3. Even if he progressed through the other sizes rather swiftly during his first year, his weight gain has lessened recently, and it's fascinating we have spent for boxes of Huggies diapers size 3. We have bought a box of size 4 diapers months ago, thinking he would be needing them soon, but up to now the box is still stored in his bedroom.It is important to observe and take note of your child's weight. Consider upgrading diaper size if he's commencing to have difficulties with leaks or over-filling the diapers.If you want, feel free to visit my website to find out where to get the best prices on Huggies diapers of all sizes... especially my favorite - Huggies Diapers Size 3.
What size is your baby? The diapers usually put a weight range on the outside of the diaper. But this doesn't always help. When he's just born, it's obvious to start him in the newborn diapers but after that, it's a little bit more rough of a scale. I find I usually had to move my son up to a larger size either because the Ma rel="nofollow" href="http://huggiesdiapers.org/">diapers didn't fit, or because they got too full.

|Water Oak School founders retiring after
26 years
But they say their legacy is in good hands with longtime teacher Mary Ann Rawson
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
June 21, 2006 -- After 26 years, Stan and Connie Shipp have handed over their chalk and school keys, along with the title to Water Oak School.
But parents of students enrolled in the next session shouldn't worry -- the Shipps feel confident leaving their legacy to Mary Ann Rawson, who after 10 years as a teacher has bought them out.
"After 26 years, it's time to retire," said Stan Shipp, who said he and his wife have not yet taken time to consider what the next phase of their life will be. "We appreciate Sulphur Springs and the community who put their trust in us."
"We appreciate them putting their trust in us, their trust with their children. We are very grateful for our Lord and the families of Sulphur Springs," Connie Shipp said.
They wholeheartedly gave their endorsement to Rawson, who they feel confident will continue giving preschoolers as solid an educational foundation to build on as they have done.
"We just felt like you did a great job, and should be in charge," Stan Shipp told Rawson. We know you will continue to have a lot to offer."
"Mary Ann is an excellent teacher. We feel very confident in her taking over. She will continue the school as it is," he added.
Connie called Rawson "the best teacher we've ever had" and "knows exactly what we do."
Rawson concurred that she would indeed "continue teaching the same pre-K program we've always had in the past." She will be adding three new teachers to the staff to help with the expanded program for 3-year-old students, which already has a waiting list. Overall, the school will continue to serve about 50 students enrolled in the 3-year-old and prekindergarten programs.
The Shipps began Water Oak school in 1980 at a "little house over on Water Oak Street" teaching eight kids whose grade level ranged up to second and third grade.
Stan Shipp had been using his degree in education from the University of North Texas to teach public schools for a number of years before becoming employed at a private school in Commerce. The idea for Water Oak was born after a Sulphur Springs student at the private school asked why they didn't teach in Sulphur Springs. Since there was no private school here, the Shipps started their own, using Stan's teaching knowledge and Connie's background in business.
Enrollment at Water Oak School gradually increased, until the student population outgrew the little school house. At that point, Water Oak expanded to its current location inside the brick building housing the prekindergarten program on North Davis Street.
"It was snowing that day," Connie Shipp recalled of the school's move from Water Oak to Davis Street. "It was also the first Christmas snow for us. It was fun. I remember everyone came to school anyway in the new building in the snow for the Christmas party that year."
When enrollment began to exceed the brick building, the school again expanded several years later to include the yellow school house across the street, with the preschool program located in the brick building and older students attending class in the yellow elementary school house.
About 4 years ago, the school had grown so much that the Shipps decided it was more than they felt comfortable running alone. At that point, they sold the yellow Water Oak Elementary school to then-teacher Angie Blount, who continues to run the facility.
Over the years, the Shipps have taught an innumerable number of students, including their own daughter, Caroline Shipp, and Rawson's children, Mason and Mallory Rawson.
Caroline just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in bilingual education. And it is her succes, that the Shipps deferred to during a luncheon ceremony and signing over of the school Tuesday. Caroline notified them just prior to the title exchange that she had just received confirmation that she has been accepted to the graduate program at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she will begin working toward a career in social work so that she can serve not only children, but help their entire families as well, according to her parents.
Mason is now a high school student, and Mallory will be entering the eighth grade.
"Both [Mason and Mallory] went here when they were 3 or 4 and have done very well from the foundation they got from the Shipps. I want to thank them for that, and hope I can continue that for other students," Rawson said. "That they would give me their endorsement is a blessing in itself."

Divide and Conquer: How to Make a Balanced Mealby From Our Sponsor in Uncategorized, August 8, 2012
From our Sponsor: Hill's Science Diet®
There's nothing "square" about eating balanced meals. We've all heard it's important to get proper portions of lean protein, fruits and vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats, but sometimes it's the last thing we have time to plan. All of a sudden, the "What's for (breakfast, lunch, dinner)?" question is looming.

In Japan, Car Sales Surge — Imported Cars, That Is
Sales of Japanese vehicles are down globally but nowhere more so than in their home market, which is still struggling to recover from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Most of Japan's automakers are producing vehicles at just 50% of capacity due to an acute shortage of key parts and their monthly sales have collapsed to record lows. But that's not bad news for all brands. Sales of cars with foreign nameplates are surging, as some Japanese buyers seem to be turning to import vehicles to make up for a lack of inventory in Japan's big three automaker showrooms.


text: I agree with you on this. I have a couple early 15" orders and one on them is borderline on too tight while the other is perfect. When laid down flat and measured, they are both spot on at 15". My shirts since then are 15.25 and that seems to be just enough to solve the problem. I've always assumed the variances in cloth thickness cause it. But if you try to prove it with math (circles and circumferences, etc.) it takes a pretty big collar thickness to add up to an additional 0.25" circumference. This makes me assume there are other variables to consider. Perhaps for example how well the neck band rolls around your neck without creasing, how tight the neck button is sewed, etc. It's easy enough to adjust a button to make a difference.

ACLAM Honors CVM's Franklin with
Comparative Medicine Scientist Award
The American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) has awarded MU College of Veterinary Medicine Professor Craig Franklin its Comparative Medicine Scientist Award for 2014. In addition to his position as professor within the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Franklin, DVM, PhD, is the director of the MU Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center, a position he has held since 2011. He has also served as director of Comparative Medicine Program since 1998 and head of the Veterinary Research Scholars Program since 2005.
The Comparative Medicine Scientist Award is the ACLAM's highest honor for scientific achievement in comparative medicine. Judging is based on outstanding contributions to the field through research publications, reviews, book chapters and lectures over a period of time between five and 20 years. The award criteria states that recipients must have had a significant impact on the field of animal-based biomedical research.
Franklin earned a bachelor's degree in agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1984. He went on to complete his doctor of veterinary medicine in 1987, a master's in laboratory animal medicine in 1990, and a PhD in pathology in 1992, all from the University of Missouri. He also undertook a residency in laboratory animal medicine from 1988-1991.
Franklin began his professional career at MU in 1987 as a research associate. After completing his residency and PhD, he was appointed as an assistant professor in 1992 and an associate professor in 1999. He became a professor in 2011.
Dr. Gregory Boivin, a professor in the Department of Pathology and Orthopaedic Surgery and director of Laboratory Animal Resources at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, nominated Franklin for the award. In his letter to the nomination committee, Boivin noted that Franklin's research has been continuously funded through the National Institutes of Health or industry partners for 15 years. That research has resulted in the publication of more than 90 articles, most related to infectious diseases in laboratory animals. He also noted that Franklin's mark on the field extends to the more than 60 post-DVM graduate students he has trained who have also gone on to careers in laboratory animal medicine.
In letters supporting his nomination, other colleagues commended Franklin's mentorship of graduate students and noted that he also encourages veterinary students to explore careers in research through his involvement in the Veterinary Research Scholars Program.
Franklin received the award during the ACLAM's annual forum held earlier this month in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Pastry in Milwaukee: Bacchus' Allie Howard
While restaurants across the nation seem to be cutting spending by eliminating pastry chef positions, forcing savory chefs to bear the brunt of dessert preparation, Bartolotta's Executive Chef Adam Siegel has a different perspective.
"Desserts are the last culinary experience that many guests have in a restaurant, so giving them the best impression possible is very important," he says. "There are other areas that can be looked at for cutting costs. I look at having a pastry chef as potentially capturing more sales and giving the guest a better experience."
Enter pastry chef Allie Howard, Whitefish Bay native and graduate of Chicago's French Pastry School.
Howard was recently hired to take on the role of pastry chef at Milwaukee's acclaimed Bacchus restaurant, following the departure of pastry chef Annie Ghobrial.
"I love pastry," Siegel says of his decision to hire Howard, "And when I was able to spend more time with it I did not need that much help with it, but as our company grows it is important that we have the right talent in the right areas. Allie will help Bacchus grow its pastry program, and eventually I hope that she can grow into a bigger role, but first her main focus is Bacchus. I think that she will bring in a level of talent and instruction that not only benefits Bartolotta's, but also the customer."
I had the opportunity to connect with Howard last week for a chat, and our conversation only served to reinforce the expectations that Siegel's endorsement seeded.
Howard's pastry experience alone is impressive; after all, she graduated from the best pastry school in the U.S. and broke her teeth working among some of Milwaukee's finest. But, her drive and passion for her work was what I found most inspiring. Here's what she told me when we talked.
OnMilwaukee.com: How did your career begin?
Allie Howard: After French Pastry School I was selected to stay on for a six month internship. And I got to work with all the great chefs, including Jacquy Pfeiffer and Sébastien Canonne. When I was finishing up, Jacquy told me that I should come to Milwaukee and work with Kurt Fogle.
And when a really great pastry chef tells you that you're going to do something, you don't question it. So, I started working with Fogle when he worked at The Pfister. I followed him over to SURG a few months after. I worked as his right hand girl. When they opened Graffito, I was somewhat put in charge of the pastry operations there. I created specials. Then I worked for a brief time in Florida before taking some personal time off.
When I came back, I took the job at Bartolotta's. I worked at Lake Park for 2-3 months and then moved over to Bacchus.
OMC: Why pastry?
AH: Gosh, I don't know. That's a hard one. It's funny because it's always been my stress reliever. When I was in high school and I was upset I would always bake things. Eventually my parents told me I had to stop because they couldn't eat all of it.
I also grew up baking with my mom on a weekly basis. So, it's one of those things that always interested me. I mean, the Food Network came out when I was in middle school and I'd watch the Chef Torres chocolate show. And I loved it.
OMC: Tell me about your role at Bacchus?
AH: At the moment I'm in charge of all of the paper work that no one likes. But, I'm also in charge of specials. For some upcoming dinners, I'm creating special desserts. And in April, we'll be switching to more of a spring menu, and at that point I'll be writing an entirely new dessert menu.
OMC: What kinds of things are on the menu?
AH: There's a "chocoholic" one that has a flourless chocolate sponge cake with vanilla cremeaux, dark chocolate mousse, white chocolate ice cream and raspberry gelee with chocolate crumble.
And one that's more southern inspired with roasted and grilled peaches, vanilla panna cotta and vanilla corn cake and streusel.
OMC: How do the menu items reflect your style?
My style is really classic French, but it's really influenced by the people I've learned from. So, those fun elements that Kurt does are definitely there. But, I've reached the point where a lot of things I do are influenced by things I've liked or want.
OMC: What kinds of influences?
AH: I like taking classics like pineapple upsidedown cake – brown sugar, butter, pineapple, cherry and reconstructing it. I'm doing that for one of the other desserts on the spring menu.
There are also really personal influences. For instance, my dad used to make me peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches. And I created a dessert based on that memory. It has peanut butter and banana mousse on chocolate cake, with royaltine made from gluten-free Rice Krispies. Then there is chocolate ice cream, caramelized bananas and Italian meringue, which has a similar consistency to marshmallows.
I like taking everyday things that people sometimes forget about and get really creative, and kind of surprising them at the same time. I love doing things like a take on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and making something that's nothing like a PB&J. I find a challenge in that.
OMC: Where would you place yourself on the continuum of classic to innovative?
AH: I think it kind of depends on the dessert and how far I want to go with it. I'm probably a 7, maybe. I love using innovative techniques, but where I get really innovative is with plating. I appreciated the classic refined techniques – in part because they're hard.
But, at the same time, all the avant-garde skills people use are all based in the foundation of basics, so you need to be really good to actually get there.
OMC: Who are your biggest influences?
AH: Obviously Jacquey Pfeiffer and Sébastien Canonne are huge. Their discipline… they have this really great way of teaching you to really make yourself better. And that's hard because you're doing the same thing over and over and over. So, they taught me to always push – always work to make yourself do more and be better. You can pipe pate choux hundreds and thousands of times, and you're never perfect at it. You need to keep pushing.
Locally, I'm really influenced by Kurt Fogle – I suppose that's pretty obvious. I've learned so much from him. He really taught me how to organize myself. I thought I was a pretty decent organizer, but he really pushed me. There were times when he was really tough – and he was a hard mentor – but I'm so grateful for that. He really made me realize that I could always do better. He gave me confidence. And really enhanced my technique. It was like working with a "Little Jacquey" all over again – pushing and helping me to learn how to make a really well conceptualized dessert. And I thrive off of that. And he's helpful to me to this day.
Also Matt Haase from Rocket Baby. When I was working with Matt, he was at Distil. He's like a walking dictionary. He's a really great to go-to … one of those people who's so good at teaching. And he has a completely different style he uses to push you. He really pushed me to do more research, to look at new chefs and really pay attention to the styles that are out there in New York or California. He also helped me with how to come up with dishes. The two of them have different styles in how they create dishes – so
I really love Pierre Hermé. I like his style, and he's one of those people where if I could really pick his brain, I would.
As a creative and a cook, I really try to take influence from everywhere, learn from everything. One week it's one thing, and the next it's another.
OMC: What's one of your favorite things you're working on right now?
AH: I am excited for the dessert that we're doing for the vegetarian dinner.
It incorporates strawberry and rhubarb, which is one of my favorite combinations. Pistachio chabilis with rhubarb mousse, strawberry gelee with candied citrus zest and probably pistachio crumble.
OMC: Do you have an all-time favorite dessert?
AH: That is hard. It's a toss-up between pie – I'm a sucker for pie – and macaroons. Those are my two favorite things ever. I could eat them until I'm sick.
I have a huge sweet tooth. Sugar and coffee are my two sins. But, I don't like eating what I make … I want to eat things that other people make. I taste things for quality control, but I won't order dessert at Bacchus.
OMC: Do you have a word of advice for an aspiring pastry chef?
AH: I don't think I can stress enough how important technique is. It's the foundation for everything – and the reason why I keep pushing myself.
The one thing about being a pastry chef is that perfectionism we have. Sometimes people are like "oh my God, let it, go." But I can't.

I can't keep following the instruction to use it 3-4 times daily, so can't say it is very helpful. it should work to me, I feel my scar is getting lighter in color.

I'm on my 3rd tube ... it's been more than 2 months. I have a lot of pitted, indented scars from acne, most of them are old but some of them belonging to this year. None of them have been helped ... nor the fine lines/wrinkles ... nor the dark marks ... nor has it softened the scars. It's very expensive especially because it didn't work!! If it had been advertised as a face cream and came in a larger size then I would have given it a higher rating because it's quite a nice cream and the ingredients are natural. How I conned myself into thinking another cream would work on my acne scars ... hmmm, I don't know!! I've just started to use a 0.5 mm dermaroller ... that has started flattening some of the scars ... and also doing weekly lactic peels ... all of them I bought off Ebay. It will take time but I am more hopeful with something a little more invasive and I have seen more results after 2 weeks than just using this scar cream. Good luck to anyone reading this, I'm sure we all find our own solutions and we must remain positive about this and know that beauty is not just skin deep XX

I purchased this to help fade old and new acne scars and applied to 4 year old bunion surgery scars and noticed they got smoother and redness was reduced within a week on the foot scars, the acne scars seem to take a bit longer but are also fading! No side effects or sensitivities, the scent is subtle, and a little goes a long way.
Works slowly

After 3 months of using this 2 to 3 times a day I have seen significant improvement on old scars. Will keep using.
There is something about this cream ;)
Posted by iHerbalicious on Sep 03, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I have actually purchased this cream because I have found some reviews on the web saying it works great as a "wrinkle cream". It has a thin, serum-like consistency, it is non greasy (even though it contains oils) and is easily absorbed. I've been using it instead of a serum for couple of days now and my skin does actually feel smoother and firmer so I am giving it a five stars for now but will definitely report back on the results in a few weeks time. Oh and It has a pleasant, subtle "nutty" smell! :)

My daughter is presently using the cream, we don't feel she is using it long enough to tell if there is any benefit from it, but I'm sure if it is like the other products purchased it will work over time

Video: Aberdeen, WA Reluctantly Celebrates Kurt Cobain Day
Abderdeen, WA celebrated Kurt Cobain Day on February 20 to celebrate the 47th birthday of the late Nirvana frontman. Festivities throughout the day included a live concert from a three-piece band playing, you guessed it, Nirvana covers, as well as the unveiling of a statue in honor of Cobain. Putting aside how creepy that single tear is rolling down Cobain's face, the statue serves as a nice homage to the fallen idol.
Local Seattle news station King 5 did the opposite of a nice tribute when summing up the day's events. Anchor Dennis Bounds opted for describing Cobain as "the well known heroin addict who shot himself" and the report included a meandering interview with a fan and barely touched on Cobain's contributions to the music world. Watch the report below.

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
First off, let me thank the FDA for allowing public citizens such as myself to speak out about this very important issue. I am currently unemployed, as is my husband. While, as professionals with solid backgrounds, we expect this situation to be a short, temporary one, in the meantime our budget is very fixed and very tight. When we were covered by medical insurance, I could afford both the doctors visits and the perscription costs associated with my need for Claritin D sinus/allergy medication. I could also afford the full-price of my anti-pregnancy pill (as, I'm sure you know, most insurance companies will not cover the costs of the Pill). Now, however, I can afford neither. Since I ran out of my Claritin perscription, I have gotten two sinus infections in as many months. This adversely affects my ability to search for a job. However, if Claritin D were OTC at a reduced cost, I would have access to it. I should not need to inform you of the effects of running out of my perscription for the Pill. While my husband and I practice safe sex, it is always a great concern to us that the odds will run against us, resulting in a very unwanted and expensive pregnancy. Please do not let the pharmacuitical companies bully the FDA in this matter. It is not simply whether I have a sinus headache or not, but it involves issues that affect many lives. If such medicines are available as OTC in other countries, and there have been no serious abuse of the drugs in those countries, then there is no logical reason to keep these medicines out of the reach of US citizens. Thank you very much for your time. - KimBoo York
