Warwick Corvette $$ 5-String Bass Guitar, NaturalDetails

Product Ref: 30066View Full Description
Full DescriptionView Full Description
Whilst sharing the look of other Corvette models, the attitude of Double comes from its unique pickups and electronics. The Corvette 5-String Bass Guitar boasts two passive MEC humbuckers, which are nestled closely in the centre of the body. They completely cover the legendary sweet-spot that many other basses miss completely. This bass comes in a Natural Oil Finish.
Use the two mini 3-way switches to coil tap each humbucker in different ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). The passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, providing the Double with more flexibility, and making this a great passive/active hybrid bass.
The Double boasts great components. It has a select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, a Wenge neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity, all helping to create great performance.

I'm catching up on some reading these days, and here is one interesting bit that I discovered through Ethan Zuckerman's blog: Jonathan Zittrain, one of the founders of the Berkman Center at Harvard, and now at Oxford, published an important paper a few months ago in the Harvard Law Review about "The generative Internet". In a nutshell, he suggests that the most important characteristic of the Internet is its generativity - the "capacity for unrelated and unaccredited audiences to build and distribute code and content through the Internet to its tens of millions of attached personal computers" (abstract - full PDF). The idea is that an interconnected network of multipurpose devices (computers) that can be programmed over and over (by downloading software) to execute tasks they were not originally programmed for is a typical generative grid, very conducive to innovation and creativity, to allow whoever to create and share content, etc.
Zittrain however also sees threats - in generativity itself, because the downloaded software isn't necessarily benign. Think viruses and other badware. If enough computer users have enough of malicious software that exploits the system's openness, he says, they may do one of two things: demand that the ability of programmers to create certain kinds of software be restricted (by policymakers), or gravitate towards less-generative devices, single-purpose appliances for example. In both case, the overall generativity of the system will be reduced. In response, Zittrain challenges two notions that are part of the accepted Internet wisdom: network neutrality, and open-source. Writes Ethan:
"What's important to him is the capacity for a programmer somewhere to write a piece of code for a system - open source or closed - and have other users adopt and use that technology. Zittrain suggests we judge technologies not on whether they're open or closed source, or whether they're network neutral in the strict sense of the term, but whether they they contribute to the overall generativity of the network (...) to the power of the Internet to enable creativity".

November's second annual New Orleans Po-boy Preservation Festival grew substantially this year, attracting twice as many po-boy vendors as last year. Official judges were tasked with trying them all to pick their favorites in several categories, while festival-goers could vote for the "People's Choice" award.
The top honor of Best of Show went to Ye Olde College Inn for its bread pudding po-boy.
Newcomer Mahony's Po-boy Shop won Best Classic Fried Po-boy for its Peacemaker, which at Mahony's means fried oysters with bacon and cheddar.
DiMartino's Muffuletta's snagged Best Roast Beef Po-boy.
An alligator sausage po-boy earned Grand Isle Restaurant the Best Specialty Seafood Po-boy award.
And judges gave the Vietnamese banh mi of meatball and shredded pork from Banh Mi Sao Mi Restaurant their Best Specialty Non-Seafood Po-boy award.
The People's Choice award went to Parkway Bakery and Tavern for its roast beef.

Dan Massoglia (@jujueyeball) is a 2L at IIT Chicago-Kent by way of the University of Virginia. He's studying, primarily, labor law and media reform. Massoglia is also involved with various social justice causes in Chicago.
I met Massoglia through the net when I asked on Twitter if any law schools were highlighting their alumni on social media. The idea being that leveraging the law school's brand, the school could showcase their alumni to the legal and business community while also endearing alumni to the school for fund raising.
Massoglia responded that Kent Law does and that he initiated the program. I was impressed and wanted to learn more. Here's the story that can serve as a role model for other law schools.
In the spring of last year, while running for a position as a 2L class representative, Massoglia pitched the idea of expanding the Student Bar Association (SBA) to include a new media component with the purpose of helping make Kent a leader in the emerging area of social media and the law. Eventually, rather than becoming a 2L Rep, Massoglia was given the responsibility of starting and directing a Social Media group for the SBA.
The goals were two-fold, per Massoglia. In the micro sense, having an active presence on social media was a no-brainer. The SBA's Facebook and Twitter (@KentLawSBA) advertise events by student groups, provide up-to-date information about job postings, share legal news, highlight student and alumni achievements, and highlight important speakers or conferences at Kent.
On a larger level, the new media initiative hopes to emphasize and shape the relationship between social media and the law, and is developing a number of projects to do so. As the Internet changes society–and as lawyers increasingly utilize social media in hiring, casework, advocacy, and public relations–Massoglia believes law schools and law students have a duty to be on the forefront of this change.
Different teams manage different elements of the new media group, which is split between Facebook, Twitter, and other projects. There is some specialization within–the Facebook team, for example, has individuals dedicated to getting and posting photos from school events, finding and sharing "jobs of the day," and performing other roles as need requires.
Subject to certain guidelines, all members may post legal news as they see fit, and the same is true for student events, alumni news, and reminders about school deadlines. Groups communicate by way of email with periodic in-person meetings, and while Massoglia bottom-lines the project, so to speak, things run fairly smoothly on their own with minimal interference from Massoglia beyond his own postings and general reminders about PR and social media best practices. Student groups and individuals have started reaching out to them with content, making the group's job that much easier.
Massoglia reports directly to SBA President Emily Acosta, who has been excited about and receptive to the program. The SBA at large as well has been pleased with the results. Likewise, a couple of team members and Massoglia work with the Alumni Association and Career Services Office to ensure that their institutional interests are heard and respected, their programs are shared, and that notable events (a speech at Kent by Justice Kennedy, for example) are live-tweeted.
On an operational level, team members have access to the medium on which they primarily work. The Twitter team has the password to twitter, the Facebook team has administrative access to the Facebook–that sort of thing. The group toyed early on with the idea of using HootSuite or another third party service to manage their content, but given the relatively low volume they decided against this approach.
The new media initiative has done well, the SBA's response has been very positive, the Alumni Association has been eager to work with them, and the group is in regular communication with the Career Services Office. Starting from zero in early August, their Facebook page has 266 likes and and 116 followers on Twitter. They have engaged with firms, local blogs, alumni, and students in the process.
Specifically with regard to Alumni, the group shares achievements of Kent alums on Facebook and Twitter. Much of this comes via Acosta and the Alumni Association, but the team is always looking for ways to expand their access to this news.
Early on, there was a dedicated team for LinkedIn, but this has proved difficult to utilize effectively for a number of reasons, not least of which time and the fact that Massoglia's experience is primarily with Twitter and Facebook. Likewise, the new media team has prepared a "Student Spotlight" series which consists of short posts from students about their legal experiences.
The sooner lawyers realize social media is future, the better, per Massoglia.
I'd welcome hearing about the social media initiatives at other law schools. Know of any?

not worth the money or effort......
By PennyO
from New Jersey
This is a cheap plastic device that is neither sturdy nor effective. It can only be functional on short, narrow pineapples based on it's size. Thinking this might be a clever summer tool, I bought several to give as house gifts and now am about to throw them away. One last thought....the package did not contain any directions or illustrations on how to use this so the dealer had to mail them to me.

While using the slicer, it repeatedly slipped out of the clip, and ended up mushing the pineapple.

Really Works!!!
By lbpuzzled

My husband and grandson love pineapple but I didn't buy it much because it was a hassle to cut, they love this thing, it's easy to use and makes perfect slices for them. Now I buy pineapple a lot more frequently and everybody's happy!

Hard to use

Required 2 people to both hold the pineapple and use the corer. Also very hard to turn the handle and get it to move to cut the pineapple.

Good riding routes avail in biketreks, jacks rake, daisys cafe and jintana thai
Some of this http://www.windermere-way.co.uk/
Not all of it obviously.
Jack's Rake with a 4 year old? I'm not a parent but that sounds dodgy to me - I suppose if you had them on reigns or whatever.....
To spend a day in Ambleside mooching around shops sounds expensive.
When's the last time you made a major bike purchase Rob, not long ago I'd wager. Some very shiny stuff in biketreks.
i would NEVER put my daughter on reigns, she is not a horse!
An hour in the park, a walk up the waterfall, up to the caves at Rydal, down to waterside, a film at Zeferellis....
We go a couple of times a year, and never run out of things to do. Play it by ear, you can't not enjoy any time spent up there.
Jack's Rake with a 4 year old, I'm not a parent but that sounds dodgy to me
Jacks Rake
Get over to Ulverston, go to the zoo, go to the bike shop, go to the Buddhist café...
..although the café is a bit like being served by the Lake District equivalent of Cheech and Chong...
The Royal Oak. That is all.
Climbing wall
You'll like the little cinema
Park on the Glebe in Bowness and walk down to the ferry through the park, there's a nice little 'beach' for a paddle and a picnic if it's a nice day.....
Foot passenger on the ferry is only 50p each each way and there's a really nice ice cream van on the other side!.
+1 for the Zoo in Dalton, great day out if not a little pricey.
Coniston is a great little place for a mooch.....nice little park for the little un to play in on the way down to the Bluebird cafe Mmmmmmmm.
Steam train at Haverthwaite is good, you can get the steamer from Ambleside(Waterhead) to Bowness then Lakeside and on to the train.
+1 for a visit to Ulverston (my home town).....Thursdays market day and is usually bustling, great pubs for a meal, The Farmers, The Mill, Rose and Crown, take a look in the Laurel and Hardy museum.
Walk upto Ford Park from town(10mins) and play on the park, really good cafe there as well....nice coffee. Lots of really good Indy shops for you and your missus, DC Cycles, Gill Cycles, Working class heroes, two by two, Booths is worth a call for some good local produce if you self catering.
Take a drive all the way down the A590 till you get to Walney Island, great beach if the tides out!. Avoid Barrow town centre! Dump.
You should be able to get a bus to Keswick from Ambleside, nice scenic route.....also get the train to Kendal from Windermere via Staveley......Wilfs cafe, Wheelbase, Hawkshead brewery.
Hope you've got deep pockets!.....you're going to need them!.....enjoy.
i would NEVER put my daughter on reigns, she is not a horse!
When we went walking in the Alps when I was little I was on some sort of reigns to make sure I didn't go over cliffs etc. Don't see the problem personally.
Jakes Rake is fined with a 4 year old. *heads off to find pics*
What's Jakes Rake?
Yeh, come and see me in Ulverston. Actually, don't bother, you'll only feel let down.
Do you keep up the troll persona IRL as well?
This is real life!
Not it isnt
Some people do take it a bit to seriously though.
Cathedral quarry. Park at Hodge Close (careful with the little one near the edge, it's a way down). Walk to Cathedral Quarry, explore the tunnels, and walk back. Our daughter managed this walk aged 3, and rather liked the tunnels. Last year aged 5 we visited Cathedral again but made a longer walk of it.
Stay in the accommodation till 1 or 2 because it will probably rain every day. Take scrabble for the adults & jigsaws & books for the little one. Take some paperback fiction for when you get bored with the wife. Go to the pub for early dinner then watch terrestrial tv at the accommodation in the evening that you would never watch at home & remember the times before you had kids & could stay out till midnight.
2 people died in Jacks rake last year.
It is technically easy but there is a very exposed section near the top.
Not to be taken lightly and only with a child that you know can be trusted. Also I wouldn't recommend taking children they young in to territory you aren't familiar with yourself
jakes rake does not need to be attempted by all family members, it s a nice walk up to the tarn for missus and daughter, then a quick nip up and back to tarn for op
We live in grasmere and have a 4yr old girl id love to take her up some of the peaks but theres no way she could walk up them i took her up Allcock tarn but had to carry her allot of it stick to the bottoms, langdales kentmere etc, cant belive anyone would sugest taking a 4yr old up jakes!
Does the little en ride? we rode around kentmere the other day from langdale to chesters cafe at skelwith bridge had a brew and a bit of cake and she rode back loved it, there are also the stockgyll water falls in Ambleside, not that impresive to you or me but im sure your little girl would enjoy it, Biketreks deff worth a visit
Don't miss Wray Castle - National Trust.
The NT have made a brave move and are giving it over to kids(big and small) to play with. Think a room with 200 foam bricks in and encouragement to build your own castle
Lots of outdoor stuff in the grounds and a stunning fell backdrop
keep the ideas coming this is ace
From Ambleside: A pint in the golden rule, a meal in stampers, climb wansfell, visit rydal cave, walk the Fairfield horseshoe
Further afield: try and find the 'secret' cave in borrodale, go to grasmere for gingerbread, go to Keswick for 'the cars of the stars'
And mountains, lots of mountains!
A pint in the golden rule+1, the Oak comes second, albeit closely, to the Rule.
Where/when you staying as that'll also influence decisions...
Indoor climbing wall, at Adventure Peaks on Lake Road, and kids' soft play next to ambulance station, off Rothay Road, for if it's wet. As far as bus to Keswick goes - be prepared for it to be very expensive...
Beaches at Borrans Park (Waterhead), along with Galava Roman fort to have a look at. Walking wise, with a nipper, Todd Crag/Loughrigg, Wansfell, Helm Crag (Lion and Lamb) are all easily achieveable and offer some easy rocks for them to scramble over in safety. Alternatively, play areas in Rothay Park along with some big boulders.
another day
Rydal Water is nice. Probably not for the 4 year old, but there is a swim to an island if any of you can swim 200m or so. Would be lovely in June/July/August/September, probably one for experienced cold water swimmers the rest of the year.
Loughrigg Terrace has some nice short walks but a lot of Red Socks, as is Rydal. Fairfield horseshoe is nice for a big walk.
Loughrigg Tarn is good for a swim.
I find it nice to spend an evening or two in the Priests Hole...
Purchase the Rocky Rambler "Wild Walks" book, 10 child friendly walks starting from easy to moderate. We started with a 5 year old and ticked off the walks over a 3 year period on the numerous visit to the Lake District. It's an interactive guide book which will keep children entertained during the walks as they map read.

The problem im having is that im wasting a lot of paper on drawings i print out.
We just purchased this printer and when I call out for a 34" x 44" or ANSI E paper size and the drawing is only 23" x 36" the printer rolls out the full 44" length and cuts it instead of cutting it right at the end of the drawing to save paper.
This is called blank print area detection which oour old HP DesignJet 430 came with but fore some reason I havent been able to find this setting for this printer.
I could measure each drawing I print out and make sure it prints the exact length everytime but that is too much of a pain in the {Content Edited}.
I need help in finding "blank print area detection". Or something that would help printing drawings out more efficiently.
Thanks in advance

With a length of 3.5 kilometers and a width of 150 meters, crystal clear waters, fine golden sand and magnificent natural surroundings, Albena's beach is one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in Europe. For season 2017, two sun-chairs and one umbrella will be offered free of charge for all our guests, no matter the hotel in which they are accommodated.
Albena Group is dedicated to supporting and promoting eco-friendly business activities, demonstrated in the adoption of a unique business model for sustainable development. Our ultimate goal is to achieve Zero-Waste tourism operations, which translates into detailed plans for the elimination of refuse, based on the principles of efficiency, economics and ethics. Thus, we not only aim to protect the environment, but also to enhance the regional infrastructure and the welfare of the local population.
We have already demonstrated our commitment to environmental protection by preserving the natural vegetation within the resort and the pristine waters of the Black sea. Our efforts have been recognized with multiple 'Blue flag' awards, whilst guarding the unique wildlife of the Baltata reserve has been integral part of our policies over the last nearly 50 years. Furthermore, we also ensure that 50% of the fresh fruits and vegetables, served in our restaurants, are of bio-origins, produced by our subsidiary Eco Agro. In 2014, we have established the first 'certified organic' farm in Bulgaria for grass-fed cattle of the well-known Angus breed. It is the highest quality beef known worldwide.
Our 'green' ideal has driven us to take additional bold steps in perfecting our business operations to further enhance the experience of our guests. Hence, we have also established a biogas plant to process the organic waste, accumulated by the tourism activities. The biogas plant produces clean green energy along with a high-quality organic fertilizer that we utilize within our farming activities. It is a circular economy leaving no waste behind.
Our quest for efficient usage of resources also refers to investments in facilities generating renewable energy - we have constructed 1235 sq. meters of solar panels, primarily used for water heating in the hotels. We have also taken firm steps towards upgrading the cooling systems within the resort with the introduction of variable refrigerant flow (VRF) innovative technology that protects the ozone layer, implemented in 14 of our buildings. These efforts have been acknowledged with the RELACS award for usage of renewable energy, ensuring 12 of our hotels that are part of the 'Green Hotels Association'.
We are now about to extend our policy of Zero-Waste tourism as we plan to expand the operations of our biogas plant, as well as the area of the solar panels up to 1500 sq. meters, thus increasing the usage of renewable energy. Our plans for limiting the emissions of fossil-fuel gases are to be achieved with the construction of funicular railway and the investment into an electric-driven train, serving for transportation of tourists around the resort - from the peaceful park-zone to the sandy beachfront and crystal-clear waters of the Black sea.
In order to achieve our goals, we are now appealing to our dear guests who share our passion for the unique ambience of high-class and low-impact service provision in the resort. To succeed in accomplishing our mission of providing excellent environmental-friendly experience, we are introducing increased parking fees, as well as a new Eco tax in our price policy for season 2017, thus giving everyone the opportunity to join and support the common cause.
The guests accommodated in Complex Orhideya and Magnolia hotels will now have the possibility to serve a light lunch or a late snack by the beach, in Slavianski Kat restaurant. The menu will include cold and hot snacks, pizza, salads, fruits, ice cream, coffee, soft drinks and draft beer.

For season 2017, the free Wi-Fi network will also cover the rooms in Gergana, Boryana, Dobrotitsa, Kaliopa, Vita Park, Panorama, Villas Magnolia, Arabella Beach, Oasis and Primasol Ralitsa Superior hotels.
By 1st of June 2017, Albena Resort will inaugurate 13 new tennis courts reaching a total of 26 courts within its 7 locations:
All tennis courts comply to the International Tennis Federation requirements for organizing international tennis tournaments and due to favorable climatic conditions and good maintenance of the facilities, the operation period of the outdoor tennis courts lasts until late October.
For an easier and more convenient transition between Medica Albena located in Dobrudja Hotel to Elements SPA located in Flamingo Grand, a connection will be build between the two hotels. The connection will be in form of a bridge, covered with large windows and will be equipped with modern ventilation and heating system. The bridge will thus facilitate the crossing for all guests, which are attending various procedures in both locations, no matter the season.
Situated 1500 meters from the main pedestrian alley, on the sea shore itself, Gergana hotel offers unique combination of the wilderness of Baltata reserve and the wonderful Black Sea coast. The ideal property for a completely relaxing holiday. The hotel offers 293 rooms and apartments on all inclusive basis.

Let me reintroduce you to Robert Wilson, better known as the one and only Fresh I.E. You know, the Canadian rapper guy who got nominated for a Best Rock Gospel Album Grammy in 2004 for his out-of-nowhere debut Red Letterz? Understandable if you don't, since it was an under-the-radar hip-hop effort that went unnoticed by the majority of the core gospel and Christian music audience. The album was actually pretty good, but limited availability made it lose its freshness in the public consciousness faster than you can say, "And the nominees are…" Yet amazingly enough, the recording academy has nominated him again for his sophomore effort, the equally obscure
Like the first album,
However, despite the few missteps, there are also a number of winning elements. The self-produced beats are by far stronger, punchier, and more complex than those heard on Fresh's debut, which oftentimes sounded too indie and underdeveloped. Wilson also takes a few more risks lyrically, relying less on verbatim biblical ideas and more on off-the-cuff rhyme schemes. Though this progress is certainly not enough to warrant Fresh I.E. a Grammy win, it undeniably places him on a taller artistic pedestal, perhaps silencing those who may not feel he's worthy of recognition from the Academy.

Concepcion Rodriguez has a better perspective than most on the true cost of gang violence in Chicago.
Rodriguez is the funeral director at Zefran Funeral Home and Dignity Memorial in Pilsen, and she's also a former gang member.
"I have buried over 200 kids, teenagers and young adults," Rodriguez said. "I am tired of mothers and fathers and grandparents coming to my funeral home and telling me their child was killed."
Rodriguez is doing something about the pervasive problem in her neighborhood. She runs a community gang intervention program for girls at the funeral home.
She speaks with great authority on the subject of gang violence, and tells groups of girls that joining a gang is like "rolling the dice" with their life.
Rodriguez was a founding member of the Chicago street gang the Lady Aces, but quit the life when her best friend was gunned down.
"She was walking down 18th street when she was shot 3 times," Rodriguez said. "That wasn't the route that I wanted to go so I had to make a decision and that decision was to leave the gang."
Now she uses her experience to tell teenage girls about the perils of joining a gang. She counters the idea of a gang giving freedom to these girls with stories of murder and rape.
She knows she can't save everyone, and, unfortunately, she could see some of the girls that she councils back in her funeral home for all the wrong reasons. But, she says she tries because saving one is better than saving none.
Concepcion Rodriguez,can be reached at Zefran Funeral Home and Dignity Memorial, 773-847-6688 or by email at email@example.com

Album Rating: 4.5Nah death by alcohol poisoning
Album Rating: 3.5You are supposed to kill the shark with a chainsaw once you get swallowed.. Haven't you seen Sharknado.... duh
Album Rating: 4.5Just started the album, and already loving "The Cockroach King." The only other band I know that does the Gentle Giant style counterpoint harmonies is Spock's Beard/Neal Morse.
Digging: Duke Ellington - The Far East Suite
Album Rating: 5.0Yo dawg I put more prog in your prog so you can prog while you prog.
This album is just incredibly pleasant to listen to and I didn't expect this band to be so good. First time I ever heard them and I honestly completely agree with its 5.0 rating and top notch review. Thanks for this :D
I don't have too many power metal bands as really I enjoy only a few haha. Bands like Blind Guardian and Stratovarius are what I enjoy but I'm happy to add Haken to my collection ^^
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffAnd the troll 1 ratings begin!
Album Rating: 3.5Death by fire is the purest death
Calm down Melisandre
Album Rating: 4.5this got unfeatured already and hail the king is still up? lol
Album Rating: 3.0this is good but some of you dudes need to listen to camel
Album Rating: 4.5
camel is great, but i like to hear what new bloods bring
Album Rating: 5.0Camel is better than sex.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffCamel > These Guys duh
The first time I heard Camel I almost killed myself... for not having heard of them sooner. These guys sound great - reminds me of all the good things I like about older prog rock and earlier DT albums. Thanks for the review or I'd still never have heard of them.
Album Rating: 4.5Damn this is good shit.
Gentle Giant lives
Album Rating: 5.0Gentle Giant never died, the Octopus lives on.
This is pretty sweet.
Pretty cheesy but so is most of the prog I listen to. I guess it just seems more cheesy because of the production being as clean as it is.
Digging: Ne Obliviscaris - Urn
Album Rating: 3.0The classic prog rock 'vibes' on here are probably why I've rated so high.
Album knows exactly where it's headed and consistently impresses.
I don't hear much Camel in this to be honest.
I hear a lot of Dream Theater influence, possibly Sigur Ros at times at least when it comes to a lot of the ambient stuff, and maybe Gentle Giant.
Its still a million times better than anything DT and Pain of Salvation have done in over ten years.
Album Rating: 3.0Who said anything about Camel dude? Ha.
I thought you said Camel. lolol
I've been listening to this drinking Guinness for the last hour.
Album Rating: 5.0This album is perfect if you have a quiet evening alone with a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cuban cigars.

Writing, running and living to tell about it with Rick Russotti, Writer, Blogger
Let me tell you about my yesterday
Parked. Same spot within a space or two. Same time. Early. Over-achiever. Afraid of being under prepared? Same walk across the same parking lot. Early hint of the seasons changing. The air crisp but not cold enough to burn the lungs or nose. The sun not quite high enough to cast a shadow but just enough to project the morning twilight.
The same doors, steps. Institutional brick and colors, glossy floors reflecting fluorescence. The slick of the swipe, techno-beep of the card reader and click of the door acknowledge my presence has been accepted.
People calling for this and that. Food and drink mostly. "I want" or "get me" start most of the so called needs. If I hear "I'm entitled to..." or "I have to be provided with..." one more time I may become unable to control my response. Amid the entitled walkers are those who aren't. The wiping, changeing, feeding. Those who exist just above the threshold. Finding the time and fortitude to manage the walking entitled and biologic hangers-on is the name of the game. Then, of course, are the superimposed demands. The self imposed deadlines in the workflow. If none of this got done would it make a difference? How much do we do because we can rather than we should or must? Evidence-based means my coffee will certainly grow old without me.
The voice that puffs from a once catatonic mouth calls to a mom who's not there and most likely no longer on this Earth. That voice touches the scabs that covers the wounds of caring but nothing more.

Online Newsletter for Call
Center Personnel
Rosanne D'Ausilio, Ph.D. Editor and Publisher
Volume VIII, Issue 10
Date: October 1, 2007 - Customer Satisfaction with Call Centers
The latest information I've gathered numbers call centers at 50,000 in the US with tens of millions of people interacting with companies through a contact center annually. As we've said before, a single bad experience can lead to defection from a company.
In a recent study, CFI Group's Call Center Satisfaction Index and Analysis—which uses the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) methodology--compared customer satisfaction with contact centers in 6 key industries:
1. Banking
2. Cable and satellite TV
3. Catalog retailers
4. Cell phone service
5. Insurance companies
6. Personal computers
They report that the two biggest factors in customer satisfaction are (1) issue resolution (what we call First Call Resolution) and (2) a customer's feeling that the CSR is easy to understand and interested in helping them. Additionally, the Index found that almost a quarter of all callers considered leaving a company based solely on their experience with a call center.
There were various evaluations in this study, but several stand out as the most salient issues confronting call centers and issues that have the biggest impact on overall satisfaction and, therefore, loyalty, retention, and ROI. These 3 were:
1. CSR ratings
2. Problem resolution
3. Offshoring
Let's look at each of these in our newsletterS. CSRs received the highest scores for their courteousness, interest in helping the customer and speaking in an understandable manner (soft skills). And knowledge and problem resolution (hard skills) scored lower. [Again a case for hiring and training for soft skills.]
However, the study shows that the CSRs ability to solve the issue presented ultimately drives customer satisfaction.
The point here is that companies need to be sure their training programs include the tools that CSRs need to answer the questions they are getting.
Look for the next newsletter where retention and offshoring will be addressed.

Earlier in the week, there was what many people are calling a zombie attack in Miami. OK, while it may not have been a REAL zombie attack, it did make me think pretty hard and actually get a little worried that zombies are among us. And just as I started to feel a little better about it, I found out that the national Center for Disease Control actually has tips for a zombie apocalypse!
The "zombie" from Miami was a man who was high on "bath salts" and actually started to chew another man's face off. While he isn't a real zombie, it does start to get me worried. The Center for Disease Control even has tips to survive a zombie attack!
The CDC has 4 plans of action they suggest everyone use to be ready incase zombies start to walk the earth!
- Identify the types of emergencies that are possible in your area. Besides a zombie apocalypse, this may include floods, tornadoes, or earthquakes. If you are unsure contact your local Red Cross chapter for more information.
- Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home…or your town evacuates because of a hurricane. Pick one place right outside your home for sudden emergencies and one place outside of your neighborhood in case you are unable to return home right away.
- Identify your emergency contacts. Make a list of local contacts like the police, fire department, and your local zombie response team. Also identify an out-of-state contact that you can call during an emergency to let the rest of your family know you are ok.
- Plan your evacuation route. When zombies are hungry they won't stop until they get food (i.e., brains), which means you need to get out of town fast! Plan where you would go and multiple routes you would take ahead of time so that the flesh eaters don't have a chance! This is also helpful when natural disasters strike and you have to take shelter fast.
You can see other ways to get prepared, and what you should have in your emergency kit, at CDC.gov.

Indigestion explained
What is indigestion?
Indigestion is one of those words that we all think we understand but which can be rather hard to define. It is best used as a term to describe unpleasant or even painful sensations in the top of the abdomen or perhaps in the lower part of the chest, which usually come on after eating or drinking. Indigestion is a symptom but not a disease as such. It is so common that nearly everyone experiences it from time to time. Doctors sometimes give indigestion the rather grander name of dyspepsia – but the two words actually mean the same thing. Using rather vague terms means that indigestion can mean different symptoms from one person to another. To some extent, these symptoms vary because they depend on the nature of the underlying problem which is causing indigestion. For example, some people may feel a burning sensation rising up into the chest, called heartburn. After a hot or spicy meal, others experience a more general feeling of fullness and discomfort. Sometimes, a more localised painful sensation just below the tip of the breastbone is felt. Indigestion can occur by itself or may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea, and sometimes by vomiting.
What causes indigestion?
Indigestion is so common that many regard it as a normal part of their lives. Almost all of us are likely to experience indigestion from time to time, often after a heavy, spicy or fatty meal, sometimes when we have rushed our food but quite often when we have simply had too much to eat or drink. Most of the time indigestion is irritating, unpleasant or even a nuisance – rather than a danger. Even after medical investigations, most people with indigestion don't turn out to have an ulcer or anything else serious. Whilst gastric and duodenal ulcers used to be a common cause of indigestion only a few years ago, they occur less frequently nowadays. Part of the reason for this is that most ulcers are caused by an infection with Helicobacter pylori and this bacterium (stomach bug) is becoming less and less common. We know that people who have to take anti-inflammatory drugs for arthritis and similar conditions are at particular risk of getting both indigestion and a peptic ulcer. An increasing number of people get indigestion because the acid in their stomach can reflux back up into their oesophagus (gullet).
Less commonly, indigestion symptoms can be due to gallstones, disease of the pancreas, and rarely are caused by cancer in the stomach or oesophagus. Happily, most people with indigestion don't have any of these conditions: such patients are said to have 'non-ulcer dyspepsia'.
Why is this happening to me?
Because the cause of indigestion is often difficult to determine, it is not always easy to say why certain individuals get these symptoms. Over-eating, rushed meals and a lot of spicy and fatty food can cause indigestion for anyone but some people are more prone to underlying conditions such as peptic ulcer disease. This may be partly because ulcers tend to run in families, but ulcers are also more common in people who smoke and those who take one of the many anti-inflammatory drugs for joint and muscle pains. Helicobacter infection usually starts in childhood although indigestion can take many years to develop. Reflux is more common in people who are overweight. Others who feel under stress can experience indigestion. But for many people, there is no obvious reason why such symptoms occur – they just do.
What symptoms might I expect?
Most indigestion sufferers have their own pattern of symptoms which range from mild discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen to quite severe pain, which sometimes might go through into the back. This can be accompanied by a burning discomfort, rising up from the breastbone into the throat, when reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus takes place. There may also be nausea and retching or vomiting and others feel very full and bloated after meals. Occasionally, people with indigestion go on to develop complications from the condition that is giving rise to their symptoms. For example, ulcers can bleed or they can perforate (make a hole). When ulcers bleed, this results in vomiting blood which either looks quite fresh or it may resemble coffee grounds. Alternatively, the blood may appear at the other end resulting in the passage of black motions that look like tar. A perforated ulcer causes severe abdominal pain.
Medical advice
Should I see my doctor?
We know that indigestion is very common, and most people are able to take care of their symptoms by purchasing over-the-counter remedies from the pharmacist. However, it is worth seeking medical attention if you start getting these symptoms in middle age or later. Also, think about making an appointment if your indigestion does not settle with simple over-the-counter remedies (and there are a wide variety of medicines to try). If you are feeling generally unwell, losing weight or have any other reason to think that there is a serious problem with your health, then of course you should arrange to see your doctor. Any signs of possible internal bleeding mean that you should seek medical advice without delay.
Will I need tests?
There is no simple answer to this question. It was only a few years ago that many doctors thought that almost all patients with indigestion should have investigations at the hospital. This usually meant having an endoscopy examination which would involve you being asked to swallow a flexible tube to examine you internally. Over the past 10 years, guidance to doctors about how best to investigate patients with indigestion has changed several times. It is fair to say that, nowadays, it is not thought necessary to carry out an endoscopy on most people with indigestion. Unless you have symptoms that lead your doctor to have cause for concern, an endosocpy is rarely essential. Many individuals will be advised, in the first instance, to have some treatment either to reduce the amount of acid that the stomach makes, or perhaps to clear Helicobacter pylori.
What might the doctor do if I have Helicobacter pylori?
There is good evidence that Helicobacter infection not only increases your chance of having a peptic ulcer, but possibly also causes you to have indigestion without necessarily having an ulcer. If you have indigestion, your doctor can check if you have Helicobacter infection either by doing a test on blood taken in the surgery or by a simple breath test. If the results are positive and suggest you have the infection, you are likely to be advised to take a one-week course of treatment with three separate drugs (triple therapy) which are often given without the need for any further investigation. However, if you are an older patient, or someone whose symptoms are persistent and respond badly to treatment, your doctor may recommend that you undergo further investigations.
What further tests might I need?
The most common investigation for those suffering with indigestion is an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (known as gastroscopy for short) which is a day-case procedure in hospital. As technology improves, this procedure is becoming less and less uncomfortable. Although it is not especially pleasant, most people can tolerate just a few minutes of discomfort (the procedure is not painful) by having an anaesthetic spray to the throat. If you are apprehensive or feel you have a sensitive throat, there are alternatives to make the procedure less daunting. Endoscopy provides a great deal of information about your gullet, stomach and duodenum, and gives the specialist the opportunity to take samples of tissue to look for inflammation and infection.
What if I don't want an endoscopy?
No one is going to insist that you have an endoscopy, although the procedure is much less unpleasant than it used to be. However, if you are unwilling to have an endoscopy for any reason, it may be reasonable to check whether you have Helicobacter infection and give you treatment if the result is positive. This is called 'test-and-treat'. This way of helping patients with indigestion is proving increasingly attractive to GPs. Unless there is strong evidence that you have something quite seriously wrong, many of the causes of indigestion can also be controlled by taking tablets that reduce the amount of acid that is made in your stomach. A wide variety of medicines is available to your GP to cut down stomach acid. Your doctor will advise which is most appropriate for you.
What is the best treatment for indigestion?
Treating indigestion starts by looking for causes which can easily be remedied: over-eating, excess alcohol, heavy smoking, rushed meals, eating too much fatty or spicy foods and taking medications which cause indigestion. Most patients with indigestion are able to control their symptoms simply by taking over-the-counter antacid tablets or liquids from the pharmacist. Some of these treatments work by neutralising stomach acid while others reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. The Helicobacter test-and-treat approach, which can be organised by your general practitioner, is also often very effective.
Can I help myself?
As indicated above, an inappropriate diet and eating habits, and taking drugs likely to cause stomach irritation, are common causes of indigestion, and present obvious opportunities for you to help yourself. There isn't much evidence that stress and worry are linked with indigestion but any measures which promote good health – exercise, weight loss, healthy eating and cutting down on smoking and alcohol, are also likely to improve your general sense of well being.
How important is diet?
Some individuals find that particular foods bring on indigestion every time they are eaten – bananas, cucumbers, nuts, tomatoes, citrus fruit, curry – the list is almost endless. Large quantities of spicy and fatty foods, large meals and large amounts of alcohol are likely to bring on indigestion in anyone. Changing your diet is one way of reducing the amount of trouble your indigestion gives you.
How can the doctor help?
Your general practitioner can help in a number of ways. Having listened to your symptoms and examined you, the GP is likely to be able to reassure you that there is no serious underlying cause for your symptoms. Your GP can request a Helicobacter test on a blood sample taken in the surgery, and triple antibiotic therapy can be prescribed in general practice. Your GP can also arrange a follow up breath test to make sure the Helicobacter infection has cleared up. Your doctor will also be able to advice you about whether any other medication that you are taking is likely to be causing indigestion and, should simple medicines obtained from the pharmacist be ineffective, will be able to prescribe longer-term antacid or acid suppressing medication for you.
Will I need treatment forever?
Many patients with indigestion find that their symptoms improve after they have been investigated and treated by their GP. A small number, however, do go on to have longer-term problems, and they may find that they need to take treatment over a prolonged period. Sometimes, treatment need not be continuous. Finding the lowest dose of the medicine that keeps you well is a wise strategy. You may be able to have breaks between courses of tablets, and just take your treatment when you feel worse.
Is indigestion ever serious?
The short answer is rarely. Most people with indigestion don't have anything seriously wrong. A small proportion will have an ulcer in their stomach or duodenum, and this can usually be easily dealt with. Only a tiny number of, usually considerably older, patients turn out to have a growth of some kind in their stomach or oesophagus. A small number of patients with reflux symptoms, such as heartburn, may be advised to have regular but infrequent endoscopy tests.
What research is needed?
Medical research has enabled many of the important questions about ulcer disease to be answered. However, we have much to learn about Helicobacter pylori and why it causes important problems for some but not all. It would be a major breakthrough to find out why there are people with Helicobacter infection who never have symptoms. Indigestion is one of the commonest reasons for people to visit a GP. We must find out why it is so common – prevention is much better than cure.

2013-03-15 17:02:11 by Christine George - Patient Family, as posted on the inside.akronchildrens.org blog.
My name is Christine and I would like to share my son's story with everyone.
Noah was born at 28 weeks gestation, weighing only 2 pounds, 5 ounces. Noah spent almost 2 months in the NICU at Akron Children's Hospital.
The nurses there were wonderful to him and us. They would take us through every step of his care and answer any question we had.
It was so comforting to have someone tell us exactly what was going on at all times.
Besides answering all of our medical questions, the nurses also taught us (being first-time parents) how to care for Noah and not to let his size discourage or intimidate us. They were with us through his first day there, to his first bottle, from getting his feeding tube taken out and sending us off on our journey home.
Noah is now 7 months old and weighs almost 15 pounds.
What I appreciated most of all was feeling safe leaving the hospital every day. They gave me peace of mind. Thank you so much for all you do!

"One morning I greeted the cast naked in the front drive and insisted that today was to be a nude day. No, we didn't have any nudity problems."
"Evil gives you far more strings to pull. But I must say that I have never been interested in the psychology of evil, not in the slightest. Perhaps I'm not interested in evil, but in the dark sides of human beings."
"Perhaps it sounds pretentious, but in one way or another I hope that you can see that every image contains an idea. It certainly sounds presumptuous-and perhaps it's also untruthful. But as I see it, every image and every cut is thought out. They are not there by chance."
"I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema."
"Actors need bricks to play with, and in fact we rejected all the improvised fragments we had made without a plan. Improvisation without a plan is like tennis without tennis balls."
"If you tell a man what to do in real life, to which extent is it reality and to which extent are you in control?"
"My transgression, which I have confessed to countless times, that I used stand-ins in the sex-scene is also of a grave nature because it was essential for me to include that effect. Again this means that you are manipulating-that you want to control things."
"I'd toyed with a couple of ideas beforehand, but I hadn't written a single cue, and it was a wonderful feeling to just write away."
"Visible good easily becomes trite; visually there is very little material left-you know, you make a sunbeam pass over a character or a situation and it becomes far too pathetic and banal."

While the recent session at Mavericks is being hailed as 'all time,' nary a session goes down out there without an incident or two requiring a hospital visit. Greg Long's scary eardrum bursting two wave hold down is a case in point. But wait, there's more… SUP surfer Haley Fiske contacted us and gave his account of a tow-in surfer (Santa Cruz surfing icon Anthony Ruffo) vs. himself. Fiske lost. Reliable sources in the channel have told us that Fiske "got dead-on, full-speed hammered." – SURFER Magazine
Haley Fiske's first hand account as told to Scott Bass:
I was out at Mavs on Sunday Morning. According to Todd Glasser at Surfer Magazine, it was apparently to offshore to paddle; but clearly not to offshore to SUP. I had SUP'd out there Saturday morning and had it solo for 1-2 hours. I was looking for the same experience. It was high tide in the morning and I figured the crowd would be minimal. I try to avoid the crowds.
Boy was I wrong. I paddled out at 7:30AM. I was not alone. There were 7-10 tow teams, 10-20 other skis with photographers, a couple of boats and a helicopter. The tow-in guys were buzzing around me like giant gnats. Many of the original Mavs tow crew were out there: Skindog, Flea, Jeff Clark, etc… all of the tow-guys paddle and clearly they thought it was to offshore to paddle. I knew from experience that it was not too offshore to SUP. Plus, I had my "cheater" board, specifically made for the biggest of big days. It is a 12"6' PSH and will let me into crazy waves that you'd be a nut to try to paddle into laying down.
I start inching toward the bowl. It had been glassy the day before, but this day it was choppy in the bowl due to all the ski wake. I kept trying to catch waves and the tow-crew kept whipping guys in behind me. After about three or four sets I pick off a medium sized wave (probably 4-5X overhead). After the drop there was too much shoulder on it, so I kicked out. I personally like the waves that bowl up down the line and jack up all crazy on the inside in front of the rocks.
I paddled out to get another one.
Much of what is printed in the magazine about tow-in vs. paddle has not been what I have observed. Very few tow-in guys will stop when I show up. The unspoken agreement between the tow-in crew and the SUP-guy is, "f**k the SUP-guy." To them I'm just another kook on a SUP. I don't count.
I usually don't care what they think. I am used to getting vibed. Plus, to their credit, they will check on me when I get mauled. I do, however, get bummed when the face of the wave is all waked up from the ski. Some of the guys drive a little fast for my taste, but it is really the guys that lack skills behind the ski that scare me the most. And believe me, there are some tow-in teams that lack skills.
As I moved outside the 4-stroke circus continued. Clearly many of the tow guys were thinking "f**k the SUP-guy". They seemed to be motoring by pretty fast and pretty close. To me, it seemed as though they were trying to get the wake as close to me as possible to make me fall. But I am used to the chop four times the size of their wakes, so it didn't work. After a lot of the buzz-bys I'm thinking, "fuck them, it's my turn." For me to get a wave, I am going to have to resort to stuffing someone. But every time I paddle for a wave, I know the tow-in guy riding the wave. In fact, they are all guys I know or know of. Finally I catch another wave. I look back and Skindog is behind me. He might have issues with me but I don't have any issue with him, so I kick out.
Now I'm paddling back out and Anthony Ruffo has been whipped in and is already riding it. The ski is real low in the trough and Ruffo is high lining it. This is the opposite of what usually happens. Ususally the ski is up high and the surfer is down low. Anyway Ruffo, you know his deal, from the Westside, he rips in all conditions and he is taking the blazing fast high line. He is taking what I would call the "speed line." I, of course, am plodding along on my SUP, paddling for the shoulder. My primary goal is to get out of the way of the ski. If I get nailed by the ski I know that I am toast.
Luckily, the ski goes blowing by. With that accomplished, I am now making my way for the shoulder, watching Ruffo, and I am thinking "What the hell is he doing? He isn't going to kickout? Crap, he's taking the wrong line."
Maybe he was trying to spray me? Maybe the sun was in his eyes? Who knows? But he tries to lay down this crazy turn on a 30 ft face. Now, let me tell you, if he'd have pulled it off, it would have been sick! Unfortunately for me he didn't pull it. The fins on his board release and I see all three fins leave the water. Not good. He and his board came skipping down the wave, directly at my head. I dove into the wave to try and avoid the collision. I get very little penetration because of my floatation vest. BLAM! I get hit by the tip of his tow board and am instantly laid out like a wounded dog hit by a car.
After the collision, I was pretty messed up. Ruffo was very apologetic, and I harbor no ill will towards Ruffo, but I was not in the mood to chat.
I kept telling everyone that I was okay. Even though I felt like I was going to puke. It pained me each time I took a breath. Frank Quirarte pulled up with he's ski and convinced me to grab on and pulled me off to the side. I somehow got my composure back and paddled back out to the bowl.
The tow-guys continued to catch waves until Twiggy (Grant Baker) came out and picked off his first paddle wave. I was in a lot of pain and couldn't paddle on my right side. I manage to pick off another three waves. One is a bomb! It goes top to bottom, spits and envelops me with spray.
The pain wouldn't stop. Later that day I went to the hospital. There was a clicking sound in my chest. After lots of tests they diagnosed me with two fractured ribs.
Sunday was a good session. I am stoked that I got one solid bomb. I bummed that I will be out of action for three weeks.
