Our Jewish Robot Future(2010)
A novel by Leonard S Borman
".Leonard Borman has woven an instant classic with venues ranging from the Garden of Eden to the fields of modern fertility science," says Neal Karlen, author of The Story of Yiddish. "Not ony has Borman written a brilliantly entertaining, smart, and mindful allegory of faith and existence, he has found that eleventh commandment most of us didn't know was missing: Thou shall not nosh thy brother." With clever bibical subtext and glossary of terms, this book is a must read for anyone curious for an alternative, humorous take on human survival and Jewish family traditions.

Radio Milano goes family-friendly
The first time I visited Radio Milano, the newest eatery from the folks behind La Grande Orange and Postino (across the street), it struck me as a great place for cocktails and nibbles -- partly because you had to order a lot of small plates to assemble a filling meal. Kids were nowhere to be found.
Well, now Radio Milano's making room for the junior set. The restaurant recently made some changes to the menu, most notably bigger portions. They've added booths to accomodate large parties, and get this -- kids eat for free every night before 7 p.m. (Radio Milano is open from 5 to 11 p.m., Monday through Saturday.)
I just hope those bartenders know how to mix a mean Shirley Temple.

Paul Di Filippo reviews Adam Roberts
Roberts's latest, Twenty Trillion Leagues Under the Sea, is a return to such an eye-popping and mind-blowing extrapolative technique, and our author outdoes himself, by creating a book that is so allusive and multivalent in its clean-limbed premise that the reader hardly knows how to parse it.

Faren Miller reviews Catherynne M. Valente
The Bread We Eat in Dreams proved challenging to review. Though the contents range from offbeat poetry to an award-winning novella, in a multitude of styles and voices, this isn't just a random gathering of her shorter stuff. The more I read, the more these pieces seemed to resonate both intellectually and emotionally like the interplay of themes and movements in a symphony for a final impact greater than the sum of its parts.

Gary K. Wolfe reviews Lavie Tidhar
The central conceit of The Violent Century is that a German quantum physicist named Vomacht created a machine in 1932 which propagated a kind of probability wave around the world, affecting everyone in minute ways but transforming a select few into ready-made Marvel franchises, complete with Stan Lee-like monikers: Tigerman, Whirlwind, the Electric Twins, the Green Gunman, Surfer Girl, Frogman.

Unless the allegations were proved to be done in a malicious manner they can not get that information because it is protected by privacy laws.
Most often these people are making threats to try and bluff the person into admitting it was them. The lawyer would have to petition the courts for the information and prove that the person did this in a malicious manner to inflict damages on his clients. Even then the judge will often not allow this information unless the person who called has done so repeatedly only to cause damages.

I've been left to man the IT department for a week, so I do not have the sys admin to turn too. Being the "help desk tech" and new to this particular environment (been here 2 weeks), i'm expecting a challenging week.
A person claims that there friend is sending email to her work email, we are using Exchange 2010, but she is not getting the email. The person sending is also not receiving a bounce back of any kind. When sending to her gmail account it's fine. Exchange must log incoming email somewhere, where would that be?

Is there any type of spam filter that could be blocking the message for some reason?
Oct 18, 2010 at 2:48 UTC
on the EMC you can search for that particular message on the message tracking. Ask that person what is the email and find that sender. See if it reached your server.
Oct 18, 2010 at 3:13 UTC
We do use GFI MailSecurity, which emails me when it stops something. In this particular case though I have not found the corrosponding email saying it was blocked.
I just got word I will have help coming in tomorrow so hopefully we'll figure it out then. I wasn't able to find where message tracking was, but thanks guys.
Oct 18, 2010 at 3:20 UTC
We use the same spam filter and usually the message ends up on the suspected spam folder under the inbox. So it will get caught in there until you whitelist it.
Oct 19, 2010 at 7:48 UTC
For the message tracker in Exchange open the management console and look for the tools section and message tracking should be under there.

This week, as Toronto geared up for its annual orgy of cinematic razzle-dazzle and celebrity adulation, my buddy Ron Murphy, a screenwriter-director whose credits include several of CBC Television's biggest shows in recent years, flew to England to attend a spectacle quite different from the Toronto International Film Festival. Not for him the velvet ropes, hibiscus martinis and rubber-necking that are occupying his chattering comrades in the film business.
Murphy decided to forgo the Toronto schmooze-a-thon in favour of a different sort of circus, in Gloucester, west of London.
"We're going on a road trip!" he announced, handing me a half-crumpled, hand-printed flyer for something called Giffords Circus. "Vogue magazine says it's the greatest show on Earth!"
On the flyer were old-timey drawings of a bear, a pig, a pinto pony and a jewel-eyed goose. The edges were curled, almost yellow. Online, I soon read about Toti and Nell Gifford, the young couple who 10 years ago started what is now one of the hottest summer tickets in England.
Their vision was of "a miniature 1930s village-green circus, packed, rowdy, glamorous – birds and horses and motorbikes bursting from a fluttering white tent – a show for rural families, farmers and film stars." All the circus's costumes are handmade, the sets hand-painted, the caravans constructed by cast members.
The next thing I knew, we were hurtling down the highway toward the unpronounceable market town of Cirencester. As we rattled past suburban sprawl in a tin-can Vauxhall, Murphy became philosophical. "Look at all this stuff," he said, gesturing to the skyline rushing past us. "It's just … mind-blowing, don't you think?" Out the window was a sooty overpass, a blinking billboard and an old factory converted into a car dealership.
I was skeptical. But he was on a roll.
"It's been a hell of a party, but now the ice caps are melting, the crude's running out fast, and in a few years the whole thing's going to grind to a halt." He gestured up at a grim stucco complex that could have been the set for the original, British version of The Office. "All this crap needs cranes and backhoes and front-end loaders to be constructed and maintained. What's going to happen when we can't afford it? Party over."
My friend was positively energized by his cheerful sermon of apocalyptic doom.
An absolutely appropriate mood, as it turned out: Giffords Circus, when we finally found it, in a meadow down a narrow road hemmed in by medieval hedgerows, brought to mind a midsummer night's picnic organized by Mad Max and the Time Bandits. Before us stood caravans in burgundy and white, and ragtag players in cossack coats and ruffled skirts. The main tent, in a creamy canvas, was rather small. The man who took our tickets had a curled-up mustache. Murphy and I sat down beside a jolly-looking male couple sharing a bottle of rosé and a wedge of Stilton from a wicker basket.
Then the Russian dancers appeared, and the tumblers, and the clown, and a man who tap-danced upside down on his hands, and a tiny woman in a blue tutu who jumped through hoops of fire.
Unlike its more glamorous Canadian cousin, Cirque de Soleil, Giffords Circus is happily rough around the edges. One performer hangs upside down from a bedsheet while playing a jig on her fiddle; another throws a brace of daggers with his teeth. Many of them are grizzled and undeniably road-weary.
"It's a hard life, especially when it's raining, which it often is," full-time stagehand Micky Seadon – who, like his circus mates, proudly calls himself a "runaway" – told me after the show. "For most people these days, entertainment is video games and renting a movie. What we're doing here is a real, living, breathing spectacle."
At the end of each show, a tiny, open-air, 40-seat restaurant serves three-course meals of local seasonal farm fare. Although the circus has forged abroad in the past, it now prefers to stick to this neck of England. "We're committed," says Seadon, "to the local rural area." After 11 seasons on the road, Giffords Circus is still selling out nearly every show.
In the car on the long drive back to the city, Murphy and I relaxed into a pleasant post-circus reverie, bathing in what I would describe as a premature nostalgia for a future that may well look surprisingly like the past.
We drove past strip malls and stadiums, and multiplex theatres playing $100-million summer blockbusters, comforted by the knowledge that the handmade circus we'd just seen could well serve as a blueprint for the future of entertainment: Once the party's over, and the oil runs out, and the cranes stop moving, we'll still have clowns and geese and hoops of fire.
"It won't be so bad, will it?" I asked him.
"Nah," he replied, "it'll be the greatest show on Earth." Without a red carpet anywhere in sight.Report Typo/Error

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Renovating alloy wheels. Although alloy wheels look much better than your average steel wheel they need many more looking after. Wind, rain and grit can hit the surface of the alloys, brake dust can also get into the surface to destroy your alloy wheels. If untreated the wheels could start to corrode and your wheels could look duller than steel wheels with wheel trims. Just a rough looking edge can be given your alloys by slightly scuffing the kerb.
There are two means of refurbishing alloy wheels. One way would be to let the professionals do it, or if the harm is merely cosmetic the repairs can be done at home with several tools and just a bit of elbow grease. The first job will be to hide up the tyres and any painted areas with newspaper and masking tape on areas that you do not need to be impacted. Loose or flaky lacquer can be eliminated with a wooden scraper, (avoid more of the wheel). damage using metal scrappers in case they slip and. Then the rest of the lacquer might be taken off with some kind of paint stripper. Take the standard precautions to avoid the stripper coming in to contact with your skin. Once the lacquer has been removed, use some body rubbing compound with a moist cloth to disguise any little pitted areas. You will need to also use some good grade wet and dry paper to get rid of any acute corrosion.
Then utilize a small grinding rock, a steel brush or possibly a flap wheel on a drill to smooth this out, if there is any moderate impact deterioration. Take away the minimal amount of metal possible and again you might need some rubbing compound once you have got the place looking pretty smooth. Once all the influence damage and corrosion has evaporated, the wheel will need to be polished. Use plenty of elbow grease to get your wheels to as high a radiance as you can. Make use of a non-fluffy rag to apply the polish and then utilize a smooth material to buff it up. The next phase will be to give a re-lacquer to the wheels with clear coat lacquer making use of a narrow paint brush to utilize it. All should be available from most accessory stores and your wheels should look as good as new.

Dan Smith wins €50k High-Roller at EPT Barcelona
With 64 total entries the prize-pool for the inaugural €50k High-Roller tournament on Season 9 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) reached over €3 million, guaranteeing the winner of the event one of the biggest 1st place prizes of the year, €1,075,500.
Heading nito the final day of the three-day tournament there were three clear front-runners, as Dan Smith was the overall chip-leader with 5.1 million chips, Mike McDonald was in second place with 4.6 million chips, and JC Alvarado entered the eight man final table with just over 3.1 million chips. The remaining five players, Erik Seidel, Ilari Sahamies, Talal Shakrechi, Mike Watson, and Jim McCrink all had less than 700,000 chips and collectively had roughly the same amount as Alvarado!
Despite their chip advantage, the leaders knew it would be a tough road considering the Murderer's Row lineup they faced.
Here is a look at the chip counts entering the final table on Sunday:
1. Dan Smith — 5,108,000
2. Mike McDonald — 4,650,000
3. JC Alvarado — 3,116,000
4. Erik Seidel — 698,000
5. Ilari Sahamies — 685,000
6. Talal Shakerchi — 670,000
7. Mike Watson — 604,000
8. Jim McCrink — 500,000
In the end it would be two of the top three chip-stacks battling for the title, as Dan Smith and JC Alvarado were the final two players remaining, and after the duo struck a deal it was Smith who would go on to win the tournament, pocketing just over €960k for the win, while Alvarado was rewarded with a €788k payday.
Here is a look at the final table payouts from the EPT Barcelona €50k High-Roller tournament:
1. Dan Smith — €962,925
2. JC Alvarado — €788,674
3. Mike Watson — €399,500
4. Ilari Sahamies — €291,900
5. Mike McDonald — €215,100
6. Erik Seidel — €153,600
7. Talal Shakerchi — €138,300
8. Jim McCrink — €122,960
The win was Smith's second million-dollar score of 2012, having won the $100k Super-High-Roller event at the Aussie Millions, and has him poised for Player of the Year honors if he continues to dominate for the remainder of the year. In addition to his High-Roller success, Smith won a remarkable THREE $5k NLHE events at the EPT Monte Carlo in April, as well as booking five WSOP cashes including a 3rd place finish in the $5k NLHE event at this summer's series. Smith has now surpassed the $3 million mark for 2012 earnings and is one of the hottest players in poker at the moment.
The EPT Barcelona Main Event also got underway on Sunday, with over 400 players registering for Day 1a of the tournament.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got caught shoplifting cost about 16 dollars, they pulled me to the back took my picture of my I.D and a picture of me. They ask is this my first time I said yes they didnt call the police than they told me that a letter is going to come in the mail regarding a fine I had to pay... so what do I do now?
If the police were not involved, then it's highly unlikely you'll face any criminal charges at this point. The letter they're talking about isn't a fine - it's a civil demand letter.
The letter you will likely get will be from a law firm in Florida that does nothing but send these demand letters. They sound very official and are quite intimidating. They will ask for hundreds of dollars for this incident to "settle" the case.
If you pay, it means you have settled any civil claim for the however much they want. It has absolutely nothing to do with any criminal prosecution. Paying it won't guarantee no criminal charges will be filed, nor will ignoring it cause criminal charges to be filed.
If you ignores the letter (and the second, third and fourth that are likely to follow, each sounding more and more urgent and threatening), then they must make a choice - file a civil lawsuit against you or let it go.
I have yet to speak with an attorney whose client has been sued in a situation like this. The law firm that sends these letters operate on volume. For the price of a form letter and a stamp, if they collect several hundred dollars, it's a huge windfall for them. Based simply on the volume of letters they send out, if even a fraction pay their outrageous demands, they collect large sums.
Let's say they actually do file a suit against you. You can always choose to settle it later or fight it. If you fight it, the store would have to prove their "damages." The item was recovered and I presume was able to be resold. Damages = $0. The store personnel that were on duty were already on the clock, so presumably the store didn't incur any overtime costs above and beyond what they already pay their employees. Damages = $0. Even in the best case scenario for the store, let's say the court awarded the hourly wage for two store employees for two hours worth of time to deal with this situation. What do they make? $20 an hour each? Total damages (even in the best of all worlds) - $80... far less than the hundreds of dollars the law firm will demand.
If you pay in full, it goes away. If you offer to pay half (or some other lesser amount), it potentially opens the door to further harassment by them.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
To the asker: Hello, I just want to know what happened after? Did you pay the civil demand? did the DA file charges? did you go to court? because this just happened to me, but no picture was taken.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan returned as the 'Bigg Boss 8' host for the fifth time on Sunday to unveil the names of celebrities who will be holed inside the house, which is actually an old aircraft.

Apart from these actors, model Diandra Soares, known for her bald looks on the ramp and Sushant Divgikar will also be seen in the show.
There are three other contestants but their names will be revealed in the coming days. As secret society members, they have been given a special task by Bigg Boss and are safe from eviction. These members are reportedly Puneet Issar, RJ Preetam and Deepshikha Nagpal.
Unlike last season, this year, the toilets and bathroom will be combined. The contestants will have to keep their luggage in the overhead compartments just like an airplane. This time, there are no beds inside the glass walled house and reclining chairs will be used as beds.

Super Junior's Kyuhyun was Upset for Not Being Given Variety Opportunities
While he's rocking it out on MBC's Radio Star now, Super Junior's Kyuhyun shared a time when he was not given any opportunities to appear on variety shows.
On September 12, Kyuhyun was joined by Choi Si Won, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, and Shindong on Radio Star, where the members began talking about how the group led into variety shows.
All the other Super Junior members began appearing on variety shows, but Kyuhyun was not given the chance.
"The company didn't even think about sending me out on a show,' shared Kyuhyun, "Because I was a main vocal, I wasn't given a chance and because I'm not the type to speak out about it, I drowned myself in frustration."
Kyuhyun became teary-eyed, thinking about the times when he wasn't a spotlighted members in Super Junior.
Leeteuk shared that three main vocalists, Kyuhyun, Yesung, and Ryeowook, are actually very funny. "But I think the company decided not to let them on variety shows, because they were worried that their ballad singing image would be replaced with a humorous one."
But through a recommendation by MC Kim Gura, Kyuhyun became a member of the Radio Star panel.
"I couldn't even sleep the night before the first filming because I knew this would be my first and last chance at a variety show."

President Obama was dubbed "The First Gay President" by Andrew Sullivan last May, after his public announcement that his "evolution" in support of marriage equality was complete. It was a controversial homage to a man who at that point had done more and said more in support of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) Americans than any sitting president ever.
Yesterday, the president burnished that image even further with a historic amicus brief calling on the Supreme Court to strike down Proposition 8, California's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
As I noted in my previous post, Obama was under no legal obligation to file a friend-of-the-court brief in Hollingsworth v. Perry. But in doing so the president staked out a bold, if narrow, claim that Proposition 8 violates the Constitution's right to equal protection. And he got there by reiterating his historic argument via Attorney General Eric Holder to Speaker John Boehner last year and in the brief filed last week in Windsor v. the United States, (a.k.a the DOMA case) that laws targeting gays and lesbians should be subject to "heightened scrutiny."
Proposition 8's denial of marriage to same-sex couples, particularly where California at the same time grants same-sex partners all the substantive rights of marriage, violates equal protection. The Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection embodies a defining constitutional ideal that "all persons similarly situated should be treated alike." City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Ctr. , 473 U.S. 432, 439 (1985). The object of California's establishment of the legal relationship of domestic partnership is to grant committed same-sex couples rights equivalent to those accorded a married couple. But Proposition 8, by depriving same-sex couples of the right to marry, denies them the "dignity, respect, and stature" accorded similarly situated opposite-sex couples under state law, Strauss, 207 P.3d at 72, and does not substantially further any important governmental interest. It thereby denies them equal protection under the law.
I called this a bold but narrow claim because the administration is only dealing with the question of whether marriage equality should be legal in California. Many activists wanted Obama to declare that there is a constitutional right to marry for same-sex couples in the United States. Ted Olson, the Republican co-counsel in the suit to invalidate Prop 8 with Democrat David Boise, was chief among them. But the brief put forward by the administration was the right thing to do.
When the Supreme Court announced it was hearing the Prop 8 case and the DOMA case, I urged "Supreme caution on Court and gay marriage." Basically, the Supremes could punt. In Prop 8, the court could hand down a narrow ruling that only applies to California. In DOMA, the court could rule that the federal government must view as married same-sex couples in states where marriage equality is legal. This would set up an untenable situation where, depending on where they lived, same-sex couples would be separate and unequal. Only those living in states where marriage equality is legal would be able to avail themselves of all the federal rights and benefits that come with marriage.
Yet, this less-than-ideal situation could be a blessing in disguise.
As I argued back in December, if the above-scenarios bear out, the court would have bought itself some time on the more sweeping question of the constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry. With voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington State legalizing marriage equality last November and the legislature in Illinois moving towards doing the same, the nation is doing on its own, albeit slowly, what many want the court to do in one ruling. A ruling that might do more harm than good right now.
"I think it would be a big risk for the Court to recognize a constitutional right to marry nationwide at this point," Lanae Erickson Hatalsky of the centrist think tank Third Way told me in an e-mail. "It could spur serious backlash and actually take us off course of the incredible momentum we've been building in support for marriage.
"Either we could continue to change people's hearts and minds and persuade them to come along with us, creating a relatively smooth journey towards equality," she continued, "or we could force all states to allow marriages of gay couples right now — in which case I'm picturing National Guardsman escorting those couples to get married in Mississippi, with crowds throwing rocks at their heads." This scenario could set back the cause of full equality for LGBT Americans and their families for decades.
By narrowly tailoring its amicus brief in the Prop 8 case to only apply to California, the administration wisely chose to support the incredible momentum already underway in the states rather than fuel the inevitable backlash that would come from a sweeping judicial ruling. And by doing so, Obama further showed why the "First Gay President" honorific bestowed upon him last year is even more apt today.

My Name
Tanner - A person whose occupant it is to tan hides.
My parents chose my name because they wanted to stick with a T and thought it was cute.
I don't think it really fits me i don't tan hides. Yeah i think it fits me well i only had one name my whole life so i got use to it and i would keep this name.

My life has been decent to this point. I lost my Father in 5th grade that had a huge effect on me. I have 2 felonies at the age of 16 for attempted delivery of a controlled substance. SO that messed my life up felonies wont get erased when i turn 18 so i'm never going to be able to vote or join the army other than that life has been decent.
Identity is what tells your life. Everyone needs one in my opinion you wont be complete with out one. Like Misha he wasn't complete without one he didn't know who he was and when Uri gave him his name he was happier. And he seemed more happier in general.
It affects you in alot of ways. If you don't know your identity how do you even know yourself? And how will other people know you they would have to call you stranger or something and that wouldn't be fun. And its just nice to know that you have a name and a family that cares about you. I bet its a terrible feeling to have no one or an identity like the people who lose all there memory.
They cant put one religion with the other. They need to be separated and I don't mean they need to be judged for what they believe in i just think they should be separated like they are right now. And we need to know who one another are like for a job if you have no identity how are they going to hire you they wouldn't be able to so you would have no money your whole life or until you got an identity. It just helps everyone in general to know your identity.

We are in the process of rolling out Spiceworks but we are trying to figure a way to be able to weight calls based on time and skill needed to complete, so that someone doesn't look bad for closing 4 hard calls versus someone closing 20 replace keyboard or mice calls.
how are others doing this or not doing it and why?
thanks in advance

Not knowing how many support staff you have determines whether my comments are relative. With that said, I have two, my assistant handles all tickets she feels comfortable with and even some that are a little out of her technical experience bubble.
Most networking issues and anything that baffles her beyond 20 minutes.... are mine.
Mar 19, 2012 at 8:25 UTC
We have 15 people in our department all use the helpdesk system
1 cio
2 managers technical and Application
2 systems enginneers
1 Network engineer
5 Application analyst
3 desktop support tech
1 helpdesk operator
Mar 19, 2012 at 9:03 UTC
No problem friend. In that case what I would attempt to do it categorize issues, and assign them to people based upon their skill set. For those with similar skill sets try to equally distribute the tickets.
The issue you run into who does the assigning. It would need to be someone at the top.. obviously who is familiar with the people.
Based upon your staff, I would do the following:
All tickets are distributed to the help desk operator and support techs. He/She then would escalate up the staff level if necessary.
Just one way of doing and I am sure others may chime in....
Mar 20, 2012 at 12:17 UTC
How are they assigning calls now? Is it working? If so, I'd just try to configure SW to be pretty close to what they've been doing.
When I worked on help desk in college, the desktop support staff were divied out to departments so each person would end up supporting the same groups of users and would see many of the same problems. I'm sure your accounting department probably has different support needs than your engineering department, so you might want to split up your techs so the same tech starts helping the same people each time, and will soon be able to solve their types of problems more quickly because it's familiar. Alternately, you could do it more by types of problems than by who's having it. Let one guy do the hardware stuff, one guy do file restores, one guy remove malware, etc.
Within each department's queue, we just assigned jobs to ourselves for the most part. This wasn't the best method because people tended to grab the low-hanging fruit and the simple, quick, easy, and low priority problems would get solved before the high priority problems that were complicated. Our help desk manager kept a good eye on it and made sure nothing sat in the queue for too long, and that no techs sat idle for too long. It wasn't the best system, but it worked well enough.
Mar 20, 2012 at 12:39 UTC
You could install the Helpdesk Powerpack and create custom fields that allow you to specify degree of difficulty and then generate reports that reflect this.
Mar 20, 2012 at 12:54 UTC
You could use time spent as a metric in addition to just the close, so closing five 5 minute calls is like closing one 25 minute call.
Personally I prefer to measure activity, so our prime metric is ticket updates not closed tickets. What I found is that regular communication leads to happy customers, and a first call resolution is equally valid to updating someone on an ongoing problem. It also discourages closing tickets before they are fixed.
Mar 21, 2012 at 7:50 UTC
Currently we have everyone call into the helpdesk number, the helpdesk operator takes the calls with as much info as we can coax out of the employee. she enters the info into the system and then tries to identify the correct resource with the info provided.
we wanted to move away from that model as we are not haveing good results.
And we want a more automated ticketing solution. we are going to incourage the users to use the user portal for most calls and we were looking to drop the calls into a community bucket that people would pick from so tech don't end up with a hopeless queue of 50 calls.
everyone shouldn't have more than 3 calls that are in varis stages of completion.
but like mentioned above we fear even with rules and notifications in place for escalations to managment people will naturally go towards the easy calls and the harder longer calls will get turfed off to someone and the stats will look bad for them even though the one call they worked on was equvalent to the 4 the other guy did.
time spent sounds like a good start and based on the calls we can set a base line on how much time on average is spent on say a keyboard replacement call so when someone has 20 minutes instead of 10 there is something wrong there.
Mar 21, 2012 at 8:04 UTC
Another common thing in larger helpdesk environments with multiple staff members is to have a push/pull system of assigning. Techs can pick up tickets to work on and pick and choose based on what they can handle. I often pick up a five minute ticket when I am waiting for a few minutes for something else or look for other issues in the same building if I am off site. There is also a helpdesk manager who can push tickets, if something has been sitting it is assigned to someone based on skills/availability.
Mar 21, 2012 at 9:56 UTC
One thing with the time spent metric is it has to be properly managed from above or it will lead techs to either waiting to close tickets (best case) or actually dragging it out (worst case) simply to make their numbers better.
I guess the first part of that sentence is true of any performance metric...anyhow, just a thought :)

1st Post
We are grappling with this very issue.
Our board think that putting in a job despatcher with good people skills will be a better service model.
They would take calls and emails to support and gather into, look at workloads, priority, duration and follow up communications.
I would love to hear your feedback as a lot of the board work in other service industries like cabling and phones so they think that will work for computers.
My insights show me that solving a problem often takes a bit of back and forth with the techs, and what was thought would take 10 mins can balloon very quickly.
Techs are often not good at follow up communication as they just want to get it fixed and don't realise that the customer just wants to know when ! So taking extra time can be ok but you must tell the client.
My concerns with a job dispatcher are :
- not coping with the ticket flow
- taking responsibility for communication off techs which is not good in my opinion.
- does not having direct access to techs on the first call drop the level of service
Pros I can see:
- able to spend time giving follow up communication
- not being weighed down with the burden of solving a problem and being nice to people who have a new problem
- getting an overall sense of priorities of tickets rather than just one techs world
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Why A 'Perfect On Paper' Guy Is Never Actually Perfect
Why are we always searching for someone who fits certain criteria of what we think we want? I can't tell you how many times a friend has said to me, "this guy is perfect on paper, why don't I like him?" It's because "perfect on paper" means sh*t regarding how you feel about someone.
We're so focused on finding someone who dresses and acts a certain way, was raised with values that are ideal for us and looks like what we describe as our "type." Then, someone comes along who fits none of the above, and you're like sh*t, why am I so attracted to this person? It's because the rules of attraction/like/love have nothing to do with the laundry list that you've spent your whole life creating thus far.
One of my favorite quotes is, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I've seen so many people say and do things that they think will impress someone they're interested in. The truth is that you can have the same interests as someone, come from the same background and still have no chemistry. In fact, those factors usually mean nothing when it comes to chemistry.
We always feel pressure to be with people who are similar to us, or fit the description of what is "ideal" to us. The more you give into the pressure to be with someone who you think you "should" be with, the unhappier you will be. At the same time, the more you avoid your feelings for someone who doesn't fit this image, the unhappier you will be.
Take the pressure off of yourself now to find that "perfect person." He doesn't exist. You will wind up compromising yourself, by changing yourself to fit the image of whom you think this person would want to be with. In the end, it's a lose-lose. It probably won't work out. You will get bored of superficiality and tired of constantly holding him up to arbitrary standards.
Instead, just live your life the way you would if nobody were watching. That way, when you find someone you are interested in, you'll know it's genuine because it will feel effortless. It may take longer this way, but the end result will be much more satisfying. Besides, what's the rush?

Duncan has welcomed new rules unveiled by Liberal Democrats in Government to help publicans battling to pay rent or beer costs.
Tenants tied to large pub companies have said they are struggling to make a decent living, with more than half claiming they earn less than the minimum wage. The Coalition Government will give publicans the right to request a rent review after five years, as well as setting up an independent adjudicator with the power to resolve disputes. Under the new statutory code, publicans will benefit from fairer rent assessments.
Duncan said:
"More so than traditional family brewers, the more recently established 'pubcos' have been the cause of many complaints by publicans of unfair treatment. I know this is an issue of concern to many pub-goers, and one I have been working with colleagues on since entering Parliament.
"In Parliament, I met with a group of Campaign for Real Ale members from Wiltshire to discuss their concerns, and attended meetings of the 'Save the Pub' group of MPs from all parties.
"Earlier this year, I spoke in a House of Commons debate on behalf of a pub manager in Melksham, who complains that the pubco he leases from has broken its own code of practice and that of the pub industry on a range of issues. I have also written to Ministers to raise his concerns with them.
"I am pleased that the Coalition Government is giving publicans more rights and transparency in their dealings with pubcos, and introducing an independent adjudicator to make sure they are treated fairly."
Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said:
"British pubs are often the centre of our community, a place where we meet friends, watch sport and enjoy a Sunday roast. They are a national treasure and the envy of the world.
"They also contribute billions to our economy every year. But for too long, landlords tied to larger pub companies have struggled to make ends meet. Half of UK landlords earn less than the minimum wage.
"The self-regulatory approach has not worked, so these new rules will give fairer treatment for landlords so that they can keep your local pub going strong."
Under the reforms announced today:
- All tied tenants will be given the power to request a rent review if they have not had one for five years.
- For the first time, tied tenants will also have the right to review the information pub owning companies have used to decide to increase rents. This greater transparency will allow tenants to see what information their landlord has used in calculating the rent, and decide whether an increase is fair.
- There will be additional protection for tied tenants whose pub owning company owns 500 or more tied pubs. If they cannot agree a tied rent with their pub company, these tenants will have the right to request a 'parallel free-of-tie rent assessment' to show whether they are worse off than their free-of-tie counterparts. Having this information will give tenants the information they need to negotiate a better, fairer deal with their pub company.
- Tied tenants will have the right to choose whether to be tied for gaming machines.
- Tied tenants will be able to report breaches of the code to a new independent adjudicator who will also arbitrate on rent disputes. The adjudicator will have the power to provide redress where the code has been breached. The adjudicator will also be able to launch investigations into allegations of systemic breaches of the code and to impose sanctions – including financial penalties – if it finds the code has been breached.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/1/2013 (1688 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An interior designer, Genevieve Bergman lives in Toronto but is home for the holidays. Spotted on Academy with some cousins, she was grabbing a coffee before heading out to shop for the day. Her esthetic is mixing old with new and blending rough and soft textures, not only with her outfits but in her design work as well. She loves coming home and making her mandatory trips to Value Village, whether it's to find a new dress or to buy vases to place on the dining room table for Christmas dinner. Her neon pink hat popped next to her all black outfit on Friday's sunny afternoon.
What she wore...
Hat -- "My hat is from H&M -- I live in Toronto but I'm back for Christmas."
Coat -- "This jacket is also from H&M, but I got it when I was in L.A."
Vest -- "This vest is from Cos in London. I put it over my jacket because I love layering things. I like mixing textures and materials. It's a bit warmer in Toronto but when I come here, I tend to layer more."
Blouse and bag -- Zara in Toronto.
Boots -- "Top Shop."
Tights -- "My tights I think are from Joe Fresh."
Rings -- "These rings are from Kensington Market in Toronto. It's similar to Corydon Avenue here or the Forks. It's a market with different vintage stores and local jewelry makers. In the summer they close down the streets so you're only allowed to walk. It's just a fun place to go out to on the weekends."
Bracelet -- "I was a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding and she gave us these Tiffany bracelets for being in her wedding -- it says 'love.' The other bracelet my mom gave me; women in Africa make them and all proceeds go to them. She gave it to me for Christmas just as a little stocking stuffer this year."
Fashion essential
"Black ankle boots is my problem; I have an obscene amount of ankle boots, probably about 20 pairs. I wear them even in the middle of the summer with little dresses. I feel like my style can be cutesy girly, so I feel I have to offset it with a black leather jacket and motorcycle vest. I like the contrast and the mix of the hard and the soft."
Style inspiration
"Definitely street style is my biggest inspiration. I get inspiration from people and blogs I look at, and then some celebrities who take chances and wear different things that typically would be more edgy."
Fashion tip
"I've always loved Value Village. I would frequently go there, finding vintage dresses and hemming them. And going to the Exchange District -- I always used to go to Ragpickers."
What would you say to a Winnipegger looking for great vintage finds?
"Go vintage shopping. Here it's not as picked over as it is in larger cities like Toronto. In Toronto, the people who own the vintage stores go to Value Village first thing in the morning, grab everything and then you're paying double the price for it, whereas here, if you know the days they get the clothes you can be really successful with finding vintage things in Winnipeg. I've been to Value Village since being back -- every time my mom picks me up from the airport, I make sure my mom and I go. I go to all four points of the city to hit them all." says Berman, laughing. "I pick up random things and my mom says 'I don't know what you're going to do with that.' Then I hem it or do something and she says 'I would have never thought."
Do you decorate your house and dining room table for Christmas?
"For our table I got a centrepiece this year. I went to Value Village and picked up these amazing different white vases that were different shapes and sizes. I got them for $30 for a group of 12. I love mixing old with new."

In case you haven't heard yet, I've returned to the good 'ol' USA! It was quite the last minute decision but with a quickly draining bank account, and a perfectly timed job offer, I knew it was time to return. I loved every second of my wild 5 month European adventure and can hardly wait to start traveling again...where ever that may be!
I learned a lot about myself while traveling. One thing that stood out to me from the beginning: I overpacked. While I do think that I'm a much lighter packer than most women my age, I definitely packed too much! Even though I overpacked, there are 5 things that were the MVP's of my travels and items that I highly recommend you take with you if you are planning to go on extended travel!
If you plan on staying in hostels at any point in your trip, you had better bring your floppy floppies. Hostels, and even some of the cheaper hotels, may not have the best housekeeping staff so it's absolutely imperative that you wear your flip flops while showering...unless you like germs and the potential of getting athletes foot (ew.). Bring these to shower in, but please do not wear these out and about while sightseeing!
2. Outlet Converter
This is especially important if you're traveling through Europe! If you plan on bringing your laptop with you on your travels, I would recommend you also get a voltage converter, otherwise, you will kill your laptop battery!
3. Journal
Above are two of the journals I had during my travels. While the Notes one was for more of to-do lists, places I wanted to see, etc, I had filled one journal of my time in Rome and then purchased a gorgeous leather journal in Florence (above, below the Notes journal). Personally, I enjoyed reflecting on each day, and my thoughts on each place I visited. It's definitely something I go back and read to relive my memories and recall details of my trip.
4. Small Backpack
While I had a huge 60 Liter Backpack for carrying all of my stuff, I also had a day backpack for walking around the cities. I always carried a bottle of sparkling water or regular water, some food, and my camera. It also came in handy if I purchased any souvenirs! While in Paris, I would purchase a baguette from the grocery store near my hotel every morning and keep it in my backpack to munch on through the day.
5. Feminine Products
I'm so glad I did heavy research on Germany before I left. While researching, I learned that many women use tampons, just like in America, however, German tampons do not have the plastic applicator. Umm...what? I guess Germans are pretttttty comfortable with their bodies (or just super eco-friendly). Knowing this, I made sure to pack lots of my favorite pads and tampons into my backpack. My favorite brand has always been U by Kotex. Seriously though, my bathroom is well stocked with the little black boxes!
Now, YOU can receive FREE samples of U by Kotex's awesome (and stylish…if feminine products could be stylish) Clean Wear pads with 3D Capture Core! Who doesn't love free stuff? Sign up to get your FREE sample!
What are your travel must haves?
With Love,

Chelsea Clinton walked back into the spotlight when she gave a speech to introduce her mother Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this week. She slipped in front of cameras while talking with a Hispanic person saying her mother believes the Affordable Care Act should also cover undocumented illegal immigrants.
Chelsea said,
"My mom has very strong feelings that we must push as quickly as possible for her comprehensive immigration reform, and this is a real difference between hers and Senator Sanders' record."
She went on,
"She supported comprehensive immigration reform at every possible chance and she was one of the original supporters and sponsors of the DREAM Act. She does not believe that while we are working towards comprehensive immigration reform we should make people wait, like the families you are talking about."
And finally the real kisser,
"Which is why she thinks it's so important to extend the Affordable Care Act to people who are living and working here, regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship status."
Well that's certainly not something that we have heard Hillary Clinton promoting in the past. What Chelsea is saying is Hillary believes that illegal immigrants, regardless of their status, should have access to free healthcare while their visas and green cards are processing. Even if they don't have either.
I didn't realize we lived in a universe in which money grew on trees. That's a utopia I would certainly love to live in. Where exactly will the money to pay for these illegal immigrants healthcare come from? Whose paying for it?
Perhaps the American taxpayers who are here legally and bust their hump every day to make ends meet. What is fair about those legal citizens having to carry the burden and brunt of these peoples fiscal negligence?

If You're Pregnant - Mind Your Back
Pregnancy puts a huge strain on your body - particularly on your lower back in the later months when your bump gets bigger.
This is a vulnerable area in all of us whether pregnant or not, and we need to protect and strengthen this vital 'core'. Physiotherapist, Libby Sharp, founder of ESPH, says 'After the birth it's vitally important that you regain any lost tone. For the next few years you'll be bending and lifting more often than you can ever imagine.'
Libby, who has made a lifetime's work out of treating musculo-skeletal problems, recommends a two fold approach to ensure life-long back health. 'If exercise has not been on your agenda before you become pregnant, make sure it is - not just for your pregnancy but for the rest of your life. A simple set of exercises and stretches done on a daily basis will help strengthen the muscle 'corset' which supports your spine and keep the spine flexible.
'When your baby arrives the muscles in your abdomen, lower back and pelvic floor may be weaker and more stretched than before and it is important that you continue gentle strengthening exercises and take special care of your back. For example, if your baby has a traditional, high drop-sided cot, be sure to lower the side before you reach in to lift your baby. Bend your knees before lifting and hold the baby as close to you as you can. The closer to your body you keep your baby the less strain it puts on your spine.
'Always bend your knees before lifting anything and try to keep your spine lengthened with the core muscles switched on. Think about gently stretching your spine so that you feel tall. If you have to carry heavy shopping, be sure to balance the weight evenly between your two arms and keep the bags as close to your body as you can. When you push a heavy pram or buggy up hill keep your back upright with your core muscles switched on and use your legs to help push. (It's really important to check that the handle height of the pram or buggy you choose can be adjusted easily to suit everyone who's going to be pushing it).'
Libby suggests some simple exercises you can do safely and offers the following advice:
'All women should regularly exercise their pelvic floor muscles whether pregnant or not. You can activate these muscles by imagining you are peeing and want to stop in mid flow. Use a gentle contraction which does not include clenching your bottom muscles or holding your breath. You can pull in the pelvic floor muscles sitting, standing or lying and you should contract for about 10 seconds and repeat several times a day.
'During the first six months, providing you are healthy, you can also do wall slides, pelvic tilts, bridging exercises and walking. Gentle swimming or exercise in water is suitable throughout pregnancy but in the last two months avoid jumping, running or anything that might jar. This is because your ligaments become even more lax in the final stage of pregnancy, the pelvis is vulnerable to shearing forces and may even go out of alignment. A useful tip to remember when getting in or out of a car or rolling over in bed is to keep your legs together.
Getting back in shape'Despite what various celebrities claim they do to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies in a matter of weeks, the healthy and safe way is to start doing pelvic floor exercises regularly after the birth. Three weeks after a normal delivery and six weeks after a Caesarean you can start gentle abdominal exercises, gradually increasing the intensity to regain normal muscle tone and a flat tummy.'
Libby recommends that anyone planning to become pregnant or who is newly pregnant should seek expert advice on the right way to exercise and strengthen their whole body. Check on the website of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy to find a suitably qualified physio near you, or ask at your local gym or health centre for someone who specialises in classes for pregnant women.

Motivational Seminar
December 14-17
Controlling Your Stress- December 14, 2014
In this seminar you will learn the valuable art of reducing the tensions that come from an unpleasant situation. You will be taught about keeping a good balance in your life.
Learn from the best Jordyn Strauser about the Drive Reduction Theory.
Identifying Your the Importance of your Senses- December 15th, 2014
During this seminar you will learn that if you were placed into a room that was quiet and dark you may become very bored or sleepy due to sensory deprivation. If there is a big enough demand, we may have an experiment like the one I just described for a couple of hours during the day.
Learn about this from professional Sophie Shelgren.
Addressing New performance goals - December 16th, 2014
In this seminar you will learn the importance of Performance Goals, Learning Goals, Extrinsic Rewards, and Intrinsic Rewards. There are two types of goals you will learn about, the ones explained for you directly under this.
You will learn to identify your performance goals which are ones such as getting a raise or getting a promotion.
Next would be Learning Goals. These goals are ones like, in addition to wanting a promotion, you enjoyed your job.
In addition to these goals, you will also learn about two types of rewards. First, Extrinsic Rewards. An Extrinsic Reward would most likely go along with Performance goals. An Extrinsic Reward would be respect from others or making more money.
An Intrinsic Rewards more then likely go along with Learning Goals. An example of an Intrinsic Reward would be being proud of yourself for getting that raise/promotion.
You will learn about these from motivational speaker Brooke Lemon.
Controlling Emotions - December 17th, 2014
During this seminar you will learn of emotions or states of feeling. You will learn on identifying the emotion you are feeling. Happiness when you are happy, and sadness when you are sad. For example, learning on how you would make a coworker or friend feel happy after a rough day.

Our Culture
We care.
We've worked hard to create products that are honest and authentic, just like us. They reflect the culture that really exists within our walls — not flashy or fancy, but highly dedicated to doing the right thing for our brand and our loyal consumers. Burt's Bees is a company that cares about its consumers, the environment and the community and, equally as important, we care about each other.
This culture of caring drives our core values of steadfast commitment to The Greater Good, harmonious tension, passionate teamwork and embracing change. It also drives our everyday behaviors and activities. In the stewardship of our brand and the environment, we set high standards, build for the future and never compromise quality. We are dedicated to a debate and decide process, where we confront issues head on, challenge each other constructively and resolve issues amicably. We embrace a can-do attitude where we all roll up our sleeves to pitch in and take ownership, break the mold and celebrate action. And an incredible passion for people exists here, where we always give others the benefit of the doubt, celebrate excellence every day and invest in our growth.
Our culture of caring also influences how we re-inforce our values through our commitment to health and the environment, our development and recruiting activities, how we measure and reward employees' performance and how we communicate and celebrate our achievements.
Yeah, we're a little quirky. We have an extremely diverse group in experience, backgrounds and ways of working, which makes for an engaging and positively challenging environment. People feel free to express and be themselves around here, which makes for very few dull moments.
We are a very fast-paced, nimble company that, because of our size and entrepreneurial spirit, is able to get things done very quickly.
Ongoing Employee Engagement
We want to ensure that all our employees have the information and inspiration they need to act in ways that are environmentally and socially responsible, both at work and at home. And we're continually looking for ways to get them involved.
- A dedicated team of Burt's Bees employees host an ongoing series of environmental educational sessions, focusing on everything from waste reduction to municipal commuter planning programs
- A monthly in-house ECO-Web Newsletter is published to broadcast useful environmental websites that can keep our employees up to date
- "Lunch and Learn" sessions engage employees on such topics as energy offsets and carpooling
Sustainability Within Our Walls
We're always looking for opportunities to express our values and vision in ways that reach beyond our day-to-day work of creating the best natural personal care products available. Several years ago, a group of Burt's Bees employees came together with a common goal of making a difference in our company's efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle. They named themselves the Environmentally Conscious Organization Bringing Ecologically Empowered Solutions, a lofty name with a great acronym - ECOBEES. While the name may not have rolled off the tongue, their passion for positive change spoke volumes. The ECOBEES exist to pioneer and inspire the way we think and act as a business by focusing on innovative alternatives for living and working in harmony with our environment.
Spreading the Word Outside Our Walls
While our employees are working on making this the best company it can be, they're also working to share our values with and give back to the community around us. Recent initiatives include helping Habitat for Humanity build the first Earth-friendly affordable housing in North Carolina and helping to raise money to help keep kids in our state in school by sending our very own rock band, The Beemones, to participate in (and win) the 2007 Triangle Battle of the Bands. You can read more about these and other initiatives in our Community section.
