My wife and I decided to have a stamped concrete patio built. Not an elaborate backyard oasis, but a place where we could relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and I could teach my daughters the fine art of grilling.
We went to a friend of a friend's house where a stamped concrete patio was built a year ago. The neighbor was very happy with the contractor, and we loved the look.
I met the contractor to discuss the project. A bit of a talker, but he seemed like an honest guy who knew what he was talking about and took a lot of pride in his work.
It took them about three days to build the patio. Honestly, it looked phenomenal. Exactly what we wanted. The contractor's crew also took extra care to avoid killing our grass with their equipment, and they spent at least an hour cleaning up our yard.
A couple days later, we left the kids with their grandparents and spent a few days in Cape May to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday. When we got home, I was moving our outdoor furniture from the garage to our sparkling new patio when I saw it.
A crack. I know all concrete eventually cracks, but this wasn't five years later or two years later. This crack appeared less than a week after the patio was built, and it had barely been touched.
A two-foot, effing crack.
It was a kick in the stomach. We were devastated. We had visited a winery two days earlier and talked about getting a couple wine barrels to use as tables. Now, our excitement was crushed. I didn't think the contractor was a bad guy, but I obviously had to contact him to let him know what happened.
It was on a Sunday, so instead of calling the contractor, I sent him an email with the subject line, "Crack in Patio." It pained me to type it. The email said:
Please see attached photo and let me know when you can address it. The crack is about two feet long, coming out from the corner of the steps. Thanks.
Here is the response I received – two days later – with punctuation added for clarity:
Looking at the picture, yes, they are surface cracks. Unfortunately, they happen at the corner of steps sooner or later. I don't believe it'll get any wider because it has a lot of wire and reinforcement. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do with it. I will come back in the fall and reseal it for the winter. Just call me at the end of the season.
Um… what? No apology? You're pretty much sh*t out of luck but feel free to call us in a few months?
When I saw the crack, I was upset about the patio. When I saw the email, I was pissed at the contractor.
Always Say You're Sorry. Always.
I spoke to the contractor the next day. He eventually did apologize, after saying they did everything right.
But the lack of an apology in his initial response put me in such a negative frame of mind going into that call. I went from disappointed to angry.
Even if you feel you did everything right and nothing wrong, even if your customer is acting like a raging lunatic and complete jerk, even if you don't think there's anything to be complaining about in the first place.
There needs to be some kind of apology or at least a show of sympathy.
Some people never apologize because they feel an apology is an admission of guilt. My gut tells me that's not the case, but I'm no lawyer, so I did some digging.
Apologies have been used as legal evidence of liability in the past. But I found legal papers from Cornell Law School and University of Missouri School of Law that say apologies don't imply liability or prove an error was committed. In fact, an apology is more likely to help you resolve conflict and reduce the risk of litigation. I rest my case, your honor.
Just don't say that you're sorry someone is unhappy or mad. To me, that's infuriating and borderline condescending.
When I eventually spoke to my patio contractor, he did apologize. He said he could see why I was upset.
That didn't get my wheels turning and make me think I could sue him. Instead, it brought my temperature down a few degrees. But I was still pissed, and I wouldn't have been if I had gotten an apology right away.
Never Say There's Nothing You Can Do. Never.
The second thing that made me mad was that he didn't offer any kind of remedy. The first thing he said was that cracks are inevitable and "there's not much we can do with it."
There's always something that can be done. Period.
In my case, the contractor could have offered to come out and look at the crack, which he eventually did. He even offered steps that could be taken to address it, although none seem particularly promising.
But there's something.
The things we can or should do for our customers can vary. Maybe they should get a partial or full refund, a discount on a future purchase, a replacement product or service, etc. At the very least, they deserve your time and effort to take a closer look at whatever they're complaining about.
There's no excuse for doing nothing.
What Does This Have to Do with Marketing?
Marketing today is as much about building relationships as it is about closing sales. We devote a lot of time, resources and dollars to earning the trust of people so they'll hire us or refer us when the need arises.
Our initial responses to unhappy customers can determine whether we'll be able to maintain their trust and earn future business and referrals from them.
Responding thoughtfully with sympathy, compassion and solutions, even if you feel you did nothing wrong, will go a long way towards salvaging the relationship and, yes, reduce the risk of legal entanglements.
If you respond callously, get defensive and defect blame, say goodbye to that customer and any potential referrals. Say goodbye to the marketing investment that was used to earn their trust. Say hello to negative online reviews and social media comments.
Dealing with unhappy customers on the fly is risky and potentially costly. Every business should have a formal process and training for dealing with customer complaints – on the phone, in person, by email and through social media.
At the very least, say you're sorry, sympathize with the customer, and tell them what you're prepared to do to make them happy.

I just recently installed an x920Bt with a GEX920xm tuner. I've had XM and sirius before so I know what's acceptable as far as the signal dropping out when going under an overpass. The installer placed the XM antenna on top of my dashboard right where the dash meets the windshield. I made a 3 and a half hour trip to Pennsylvania for Easter and it cut in and out way too much, even when on an open road.
Is that considered a bad antenna location? What would be a better location to move it to? For the record, I drive a 2008 Ford Escape SUV.
Thanks for any help!

Sat antennas should be placed on top of the roof to get best signal from the sky.

Buffalo County (Police)
The WPPA prevailed in this arbitration in which the primary issue was wages. The County had proposed a 2% raise in each year of the two year agreement. The Association proposed 2% with an additional 1% on each July 1. The comparables were mixed and the County relied on a slight internal pattern and argued local economic conditions. Two other bargaining units were also in arbitration in the County with similar facts both represented by AFSCME. The Arbitrator ruled for the WPPA position and separate arbitrators ruled for the County in the AFSCME cases. The changes in the State Budget increasing the levy limits, which were pushed by WPPA, were instrumental in this WPPA arbitration victory.
City of Monroe (Dispatchers)
The WPPA prevailed in this arbitration in which the primary issue was the City's attempt to impose insurance premium sharing. There was a secondary issue involving the accumulation of compensatory time and its payout. None of the internal bargaining units were settled and the City was attempting to use the arbitration on its smallest unit to "have the tail wag the dog." The arbitrator rejected the City's approach, notwithstanding the acknowledged fact that the comparables showed a trend towards premium sharing. The Arbitrator commented that the City will need to achieve its breakthrough by voluntary agreement.
Monroe County and Shawano County
The Monroe County Professional Police Association (MCPPA/WPPA) and the Shawano County Deputy Sheriffs Association (SCDSA/WPPA) recently celebrated arbitration victories for their unresolved collective bargaining agreements. With the help of their WPPA Representatives, both locals worked hard at the negotiation table to reach voluntary settlements; however, interest arbitration was the only option left for settling the contracts in the end.
In Shawano, the arbitration record was closed in April of 2008. The County demanded a change in the work schedule for Investigators from the current M-F 8am to 4pm followed by one week of 12pm to 8pm with an "on call" Investigator covering weekends to a new five (5) on two (2) off schedule with a limit of no more than ten (10) days in succession. In an effort to bolster its position in future negotiations as well as in this arbitration, the Milwaukee area law firm representing the Employer argued for a change in comparables. After meeting with the effected members to review the arbitration strategy, the WPPA presented its case for maintaining the current schedule and comparables.
In its brief, the County argued that its offer actually meant something other than that framed by its Final Offer. In its reply brief, the Association argued that this was simply a ruse to buttress a flagging position. The Arbitrator agreed.
In the final analysis, the Arbitrator selected the WPPA Local Affiliate's position and awarded its Final Offer in the dispute.
In the Monroe County case, the matter hinged on a dispute of two issues: wages and the deletion or continuation of an important Letter of Understanding. The Employer proposed a wage package of 2% on 1/1/07; 2% on 1/1/08; and .5% on 7/1/08. In addition, the Employer sought to remove from the contract the Letter of Understanding that substantively provides that there must be mutual agreement between the Employer and the Association on all matters/practices related to hours of work. The Association steadfastly maintained a position to retain the letter.
The Arbitrator agreed with the WPPA position that, given the history of the Letter of Understanding, any deletion or modification of the Letter should be the result of bargaining and not arbitration. The Arbitrator stated that the wage issue slightly favored the County, based on their comparables, but as the Association had argued, the wage issue was not determinative. The MCPPA/WPPA prevailed.
Both locals face almost immediate reopening of negotiations. Hopefully, the Employers will be inclined to be a bit more reasonable in the face of these two cases. However, if such is not the case, we stand ready to defend the hard-fought, hard-won rights of members everywhere.

Kidney wants Irish to work harder after 'encouraging' performance
MUST work harder -- that was the message from Declan Kidney after Saturday's defeat to the All Blacks with the Ireland coach stressing the importance of finishing the November Series on a high against Argentina next weekend.
Despite the 20-point losing margin, Ireland produced their best performance of the month, playing with a level of intensity several notches up from the 23-21 defeat to South Africa and 20-10 win over Samoa. Kidney's team came in for some heavy criticism after those matches and, while accepting that Ireland produced some encouraging rugby against New Zealand, he said that there are improvements be made.
"There was unnecessary criticism last week, we're not going to go into false praise this week, we've plenty of work to do and we'll work at it," said Kidney. "I suppose it (the performance) would give some encouragement, but I think too much of them (the players) just to let them away with that. Then we go into the old things like 'it was a great performance'. We're too good a country to buy into that.
"We need to work on things ourselves. It's in our own control, if you look at the turnovers, just getting a few simple things right, we put our defence under a lot of pressure."
While accepting that Ireland will have learned a lot from their clash with the top side in the world, Kidney, whose side have one win in eight matches heading into the Pumas clash, stressed the psychological importance of a victory next weekend. "You always (want to learn), but you want to be winning as well. That's why it was important to win last week and we need to get back to winning ways again next week against Argentina, which will present a much different challenge," he said.
"That's the benefit of this series, it's brilliant to have a four-game series in that we want to learn more about ourselves. But you want to be winning games in the present, you don't want to be building for the future all the time."
There was widespread disbelief after the match that no All Black had been yellow-carded after infringements and several warnings from referee Marius Jonker. Captain Richie McCaw and No 8 Kieran Read were the chief culprits, but the South African official, who knows the All Blacks well from the Super 14 and Tri Nations, never produced the card.
"There was a lot of ball slowed up. I've met Marius a few times. I actually think he's a very good man," he said. "I think there were two penalty decisions leading into the time when Keith (Earls) nearly had a try but the TMO went against us, that wouldn't have changed the game, but because we play positively, we don't get the advantage from that."

Wow, this place was great! My husband and I went there when we were on our honeymoon in Vegas. Both of us were vegan and we were amazed with the selections. The waitress knew which things were vegan and was very friendly. The prices were great, too. It was yummy!

Oh, my goodness...vegan donuts!!! The only vegan donuts I had ever had were cold donuts from the refrigerated section of my health food store for $2, and they weren't that great. THESE donuts, however, were fresh and delicious. The cashier knew exactly which donuts were vegan, which were most of them. There was a nice selection. My husband and I bought a dozen for less than $8. We ate them in less than 24 hours and wanted to go back, but ran out of time.

Heartbroken Cat Has Lived By Dead Owner's Grave For A Year
November 7, 2016 | No Comments » | Topics: Cats |
Death is a part of life that can be incredibly difficult to come to terms with. Life irrevocably changes after the death of someone close and it can be hard to adjust knowing that the future will not include some of the people you care about.
It's not just humans who are affected by the death of a loved one. Animals go through the grieving process too, especially when they lose their owner. The human who they relied on for love and attention is cut out of their life with no explanation.
So it comes as no surprise that animals are hugely affected by their owners' death, with some pets reacting more than others. In Indonesia, one cat has been found living by their owner's grave and what's more, she's been living there for a whole year.

This Photo Captures The Tender Moment A 102-Year-Old Woman Fell In Love With A Shelter Cat
October 12, 2016 | 1 Comment » | Topics: Cats, Heartwarming |
A two-year-old shelter cat named Edward never had a loving family to call his own. But little did he know that someone was out there who needed him more than he needed them.
Iona had made a trip to the Montgomery County Animal Shelter in Conroe, Texas with her son. Her cat of 10 years had just passed away. After looking for a new companion, she spotted Edward, and instantly knew he was the one for her. "The way he cuddled upon my shoulder reminded me of the cat I'd just lost," she recalls.
Barbara Bates, the adoption coordinator for the animal shelter, was there with her camera when this rare incident of 'love-at-first-sight' happened, right there in the lobby of the red-brick building.
"It just filled my heart," Bates says about the scene. "The kitty just snuggled right up to her."
"I said, 'Iona, do you mind if I take your picture?' And she said, 'Honey, I sure hope I don't break your camera.'"
Bates' camera turned out fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few hearts broke upon seeing this tender moment captured that day:
Photo credit: Barbara Bates / Montgomery County Animal Shelter
"[This] photo tells me Edward immediately sensed that Iona had lots of love and security to offer him," Bates says.
"To me, an animal gives you life, that a person can't, or material things can't.
"You come home from a stressful day, and they want to kiss on you. It just makes everything bad go away. So it just touched my heart."
Looks like Iona will have a new favorite picture of hers to treasure.

September 21, 2016 | No Comments » | Topics: Animals, Cats, Uplifting |
32-year-old biker and sheet metal worker Pat Doody recently rescued a kitten while riding cross country from Nevada to New Jersey. He found the kitten at a gas station and gave it the best name he could think of at the time: "Party Cat."
"I was at this truck stop getting gas, and this little guy just needed help," he told Revzilla. "He was pretty badly burned, so I picked him up and tucked him inside my vest. We're feeding him regularly now, so he's doing better, even though he's sort of living on the road until we get home."

The question
Are any bathrobes okay?
The answer
Here's the problem: We all need them. We think: What do I throw on if I'm just out of the shower and the doorbell rings? What do I wear when I'm just out of bed and I want coffee before I'm dressed? What do I wear walking from the shower to my bedroom when my kids/cleaning lady/dealer are home?
So they are an unfortunate necessity. But one thing you should know is that all bathrobes – or dressing gowns if you are an anglophile – are unflattering. It doesn't matter if they're silk, it doesn't matter if they are the richest, thickest terry cotton, it doesn't matter if they say "Chateau Marmont" or "Shangri-La Dusseldorf" or "Super 8 Burlington"; they do not give you a manly shape, they do not give you sex appeal.
I put together a small feminine focus group on this matter. (The group consisted of one member, who also happens to share my dwelling; accurate to within five percentage points, 99 times out of 100.) This focus group was characteristically blunt about bathrobes: "All men's legs sticking out from under the skirts of a bathrobe look like little, tiny, skinny, hairy, duck legs, with giant feet at their ends." This is, I think, not good.
The French have a word for a kind of soft, couch-potato, stay-at-home kind of guy: pantouflard. It's from the word for slippers. Whenever I see a guy in a bathrobe, I think the slippers are not far behind. I don't think race-car driver, I think pantouflard.
Even short silk Japanese-style ones, displaying muscular legs, comfortable as they might be to wear, are strangely emasculating, as they can easily be seen as posing too hard. The terrifying image of an aging Hugh Hefner is never far from a sensitive woman's psyche.
So, limit your domestic bathrobe wearing to absolute necessity. And to private moments. If you must dart through the house in such intimate apparel, ensure that it is cotton of the most pure blinding white. And that your darting is brief.
Now a towel wrapped around the waist, on the other hand, is held by many women to be the sexiest attire possible. Cheaper, too.

Business Valuation is a process and a set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of an owner's interest in a business.It is used in the financial and business markets to determine the price that market participants are willing to pay or receive to effect a sale or purchase of a business or an entity.It encompasses estimating the values of individual assets and liabilities, which typically include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, real estate and financial instruments such as debts, derivatives and hybrid securities.
With the rise of fair value accounting, the realm of financial reporting has also required the valuation of assets and liabilities. For example, standards such as FRS 113 Fair Value Measurement, FRS 103 Business Combinations, FRS 40 Investment Property, FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and FRS 38 Intangible Assets all stipulate the need for valuations of assets and liabilities under different circumstances.
Coupled with the use of mergers and acquisitions as a common corporate growth strategy, valuation is undoubtedly growing in importance as a highly sought after expertise.

Item Summary
|The political philosophy of Maruyama Masao : cosmopolitanism from the Far East
|Izumi, Takashi
|Masao Maruyama
|Issue Date:
|Dec 2013
|[Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [December 2013]
|This study aims to draw more attention from Western audiences to the political insight and philosophy of Masao Maruyama (1914--1996), the most prominent political thinker in twentieth-century Japan. My study concentrates on introducing Western readers to his style of universalism and his unique cosmopolitan ideas. In this study, I present some of the most interesting aspects of his political thought, such as the thesis of the vicious cycle between false universalism and ethnocentrism, cosmopolitanism as the sense of neighbors, and democracy as a permanent revolution.
Some recent important studies have successfully reconstructed Maruyama's theory of modern subjectivity from the side of his theory of others. These previous studies, however, might misguide the reader about the development of Maruyama's political thought; it appears that some think that, over time, Maruyama gradually shifted his focus from the theory of modern subjectivity to that of otherness. This study reveals that Maruyama was, in fact, presenting his cosmopolitan ideas in preliminary sketches even in his early works. Using his well-known essay "Theory and Psychology of Ultra-Nationalism" (Maruyama 1946 [1969]), this study demonstrates the early emergence of his universalist and cosmopolitan ideas. Concurrently, it attempts to prove that Maruyama was consistent in his primary concern with the nurture of the active and self-standing human agent of the Japanese and the establishment of modern individualism in Japan.
My work also provides an introduction to Maruyama's epistemology on universality and particularity, the "universalist standpoint on ideals," which has the theoretical potential to encourage political scientists to reconsider the self-evident use of the concept of indigeneity.
This study concludes that Maruyama's cosmopolitanism appeared from within a psychologically introverted society and through his long-term dissension with the Japanese social trend of compulsory homogenization. His cosmopolitanism looks similar to the cosmopolitan multiculturalism of Western political theory. However, his theory has a different background from its counterpart of Western cosmopolitanism, which has developed in more culturally diverse societies. The dominance of collectivism and valuing of homogeneity in Japanese society overwhelmingly pressures the Japanese to comply with authority and conform to the social majority. In this regard, it is presumed that the emergence of the cosmopolitan thinker is an exceptional case in Japan.
The following study offers a good preparation for the East-West comparison in political theory, including, but not limited to, the topics of otherness, cosmopolitanism, and the political uses of culture.

Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, coming up July 4-8, is one of the world's biggest blues festivals. It also is the biggest annual event in Portland — an interesting idea, for any city's big party to be a blues festival, and especially a Pacific Northwest city without a blues tradition of its own.
First let me tell you about my own involvement in this year's fest. I will NOT be stage-managing or emceeing the Workshop Stage this year. I had fun doing it last year. It was great to see a lot of friends and fans, and make new ones, there. And I enjoyed introducing and interacting with all the great acts that performed there. But unfortunately I will not be doing that job again this year.
I WILL perform at the fest. My slot is 3:45-4:30 p.m. July 5, on the FedEx Crossroads Stage (that is the stage that used to be the Workshop Stage — it is being renamed, relocated and restaffed). My program is called "Myth and Reality of the Crossroads" to christen the new stage. I'll talk about what Robert Johnson and Tommy Johnson did or didn't do at the Crossroads, where the Crossroads might actually be, what it means, etc., and sing relevant songs…or as much music and chatter as I can pack in in 45 minutes! Come on by.
Here are some other acts I recommend you check out this year:
- Toots and the Maytals — the great Jamaican soul and reggae singer graces our festival.
- Arthur Moore Harmonica Hoedown — Local harpist/teacher Moore invites anyone with a harp to come up and play a solo!
- Goodfoot Allstars' Tribute to James Brown — I haven't heard this act, but it's hard to go wrong with good musicians playing the Brown soundbook. JB was not just a great singer and entertainer — he was a great songwriter as well.
- James Cotton Harmonica Workshop — This is not a how-to workshop, but the veteran harpman (who has worked with Muddy and Wolf) talking about his life and music and showing us how it's done. He also blows with Elvin Bishop later that night (July 6).
- Zydeco — Stop by the Front Porch Stage to check out topnotch zydeco acts playing over several days. Includes dance demonstrations and lessons, and plenty of room to dance.
- Lloyd Jones Big Band — Jones sounds great whether solo or with any kind of group. Here's a chance to hear what he can do with his own big band.
- Bobby Rush — This ageless chittlin-circuit performer has so much fun joking about his sexual prowess, admiring his lovely and flexible dancers of various sizes, doing some acrobatics of his own, and singing with a crackerjack blues-soul-rock band backing, that you will have a great time too. He performs with the band and dancers on the Miller Stage on July 7, then probably solo (he plays guitar and harmonica) on the Crossroads Stage on July 8. Both shows should be terrific, and very different from each other.
- Otis Taylor and Don Vappie — The banjo came over from West Africa with the slaves, then became the quintessential white country instrument in America. In recent years it has been reclaimed by black players of blues, pre-blues and old-time, including Taylor, who sometimes plugs in and veers into rock. His pairing with New Orleans jazz banjoist Don Vappie on the Crossroads Stage on July 7 should be acoustic and interesting. They also play together earlier that day on the First Tech Stage, joined by Portland banjo virtuoso Tony Furtado.
- Cedric Burnside — This wunderkind is a grandson of the great North Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside. And he is not just trading on the name. Playing as a young teenager with his granddad, Cedric quickly distinguished himself as a killer drummer, and became sought after by various acts in and out of the blues. Cedric went into singing and songwriting, while still drumming, in a duo with Lightnin' Malcolm. He has since taken up the guitar. He plays three times at this festival, and it could be something different each time.
OK, folks, that's my advice. Make sure to bring $10 and two cans of food per day (the festival benefits Oregon Food Bank) and extra money for beer, food and Empty Bowls (handmade bowls that further benefit the food bank). See you out there!

Since season 5 of Arrow on the CW is about to start, I decided to take a look at the tropes you'd find in a Green Arrow comic book. But which run? To decide, I painted myself a target, went out into the woods with a crossbow and shot at it to decide. Things went… okay. But I have a lot of fun in this episode. Green Arrow is one of my fav DC characters, period.

1999 Ford Windstar - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Avoid Ford -- especially this one
By fixed_or_repaired on
Vehicle1999 Ford Windstar SEL 4dr Minivan
ReviewWe're 3 months from end of 3 year lease and want to return it now; 38000
mi, leased at 15000/year. Broke again last week. $2 spark plug, $167 fix;
took vehicle into leasing dealership every scheduled maintainence. Ford
replaced entire transmission; leaving a parking lot, transmission died.
mechanics found lots of "ground up metal"; they've replaced steering column
twice, most of the front suspension twice, plus an innumerable HOST of
"minor" problems (rear heater control died, mechanic said "due to some bare
wires"). The rear window has a low frequency rattle; the steering now has a
dead spot after they "fixed" it twice. After 35 years, I've bought my last Ford.
Best FeaturesDouble sliding power doors, except half the time when you pull on the handle they refuse to move.
Worst FeaturesStart from scratch, fire every Ford engineer and replace with either with Honda or Toyota engineers, or with BMW / Mercedes engineers.

JUPITER, Florida June 5, 2008 ? By 2020, 45% of U.S. water utilities will need repair. That's just one of the reasons that water should become one of the most lucrative commodities of the 21st Century, according to a new report by Weiss Research commodities analyst Sean Brodrick.
In Cloud 9 Cash Report, Brodrick provides an insightful analysis of water as an investment vehicle and strong data supporting further pressure on the price of the natural resource, including:
- Americans spent $15 billion on bottled water in 2007.
- A United Nations report that the Himalayan glaciers that are sources to Asia's biggest rivers ? the Ganges, Indus, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, Mekong, Salween and Yellow Rivers ? means that they could disappear by 2035 as temperatures rise. It is estimated that 2.4 billion people depend on that water.
- Less than 15% of the Chinese population has access to clean drinking water. China's government will spend $128 billion on water infrastructure in the next five years.
Water is a valuable natural resource and the demand for it is not elastic ? as prices rise, consumption does not decrease," said Brodrick. "Investors should see steady price acceleration as demand continues to surge around the world."
Brodrick's report, available for free, also gives ideas to investors who are considering purchasing water ETFs or stocks in companies that make bottled water.

If this leaked image is really the Toronto Blue Jays' new logo for 2012, then consider me officially smitten.
Finally, after almost 10 years of trying to push two versions of a 'roided-up Woody Woodpecker on us, the team is going back to its roots with a serious nod to the franchise's best players and teams.
It's also certainly better than the art deco disaster that the Florida Marlins allegedly floated out on the web earlier this week.
Not that it's official just yet. Though rumors of a redesigned look have been rampant — including red uniforms that would tap into Canadian pride — the team has confirmed nothing.
And though it may look like a straight-up resurrection of the old powder-blue logo, this side-by-side comparison done by Uni Watch's Paul Lukas shows us that it's actually a modern take on the proud and nostalgia-inducing blue jay:
If you ask me, I think it's a good thing they're spinning the design forward with sleeker and faster lines. Its ability to look forward to what the Jays are hoping will be a bright future while still paying homage to a rich and familiar history is what makes it a real winner.
It's also a lot better than whatever Ricky Romero(notes) was suggesting on Wednesday night.

Saul Bass
Jump to
Few did as much to alter the aesthetics of commercial and popular culture in the second half of the 20th century than Saul Bass. A New York-born graphic designer, Bass broke with the industry's standardized text-based opening credits template to create an iconic animated opening sequence for Otto Preminger's film "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955). He went on to compose similarly stylized intro/poster combos for a number of Preminger films and become a go-to design man for directors of Hollywood's prestige films, including Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (1958) and "Psycho" (1960) and Kubrick's "Spartacus" (1958). He went behind the camera and ultimately earned an Oscar for his animated documentary film "Why Man Creates" (1968), and in 1974, directed his only feature film, the sci-fi outing "Phase IV." Bass' corporate work would shape a multitude of brand imprints for a Who's Who of corporate America, and he returned to film title design in the 1980s and 1990s, notably in a run of films by Martin Scorcese. Emulated in countless entertainment graphics - including more recent opening sequences of Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" (2002) and AMC's Emmy-darling series "Mad Men" (2008- ) - Bass did more than just alter the look of film, Scorcese suggested in the book "Saul Bass: A Life in Film and Design, he "found and distilled the poetry of the modern, industrialized world."

They profess to have exclusivity to roles when they don't,. They claim to put you forward for roles when they don't. You ring them to chase on progress and the recruiter who over promised is co ie tell always unavailable. Terrible agency would never use them to look for staff or indeed to look for work. Worst experience… Read Full Review

I was tired of working as a temp and was looking for a full time job. But they kept on offering me temp jobs after temp jobs (I guess it's much easier and more profitable for them to get me a temp job than a full time job). I was declining every one of them as I was seriously looking for a full time job this time. One day, they told me about this temp position at a very prestigious company that I am in today, telling me that the contract can be extended at least a few years (even written in the… Read Full Review

Not sure what it is about Hay's but for some reason they seem to put themselves pretty high on the pedestal? There are a lot better agencies in and around Sydney that will talk to you more as a human being than looking down their nose at you. In the Sydney CBD branch they have one particular junior member of staff who weirdly seems to get a kick out of being extremely condescending to people a lot more qualified and experienced than themselves. Upon speaking to other people dealing with Hay's I… Read Full Review

I feel that Hays got me a temp position quite quickly but I have had issues within this short period of time. For a start, I do not think it is acceptable that out of your weekly pay they take out £33.06 to pay for whatever holidays you take. From my time at other agencies they have paid my holiday pay. Also, with other agencies they also pay your travel and the cost for lunches that you have paid for out of your own pocket. Secondly, when they call or email you and you call or email back… Read Full Review

The over growing European empires in north, south and central America lacked a important resource- workers. At first the European colonists
attempted to use native Americans to work but
that didn't go very well. The native Americans
would slip away and come back with others to
punish those who tried to enslave them.
The Portuguese's eventually discovered that
Africans were excellent workers. The Africans
did not want to be slaves. They had been
captured and forced into slavery. Eventually, thousands of Africans went to America in the 18th and 19th centuries because they were taken as slaves. The things that made life horrible for the Africans was that may dies on their journey by sailing ship. Those who survived were sold in auctions and put to work on farms.
to freedom
Abraham Lincoln was one of those people who thought that slavery was wrong and wanted to put a stop to it,
In 1860 Abraham Lincoln won the presidential elections for the Republican party. It was a time of crisis in America. Slavery was a big problem. The Southern states needed slaves to work on their big farms and the people in the North were against slavery
In 1861 the American Civil War started. The Southern states broke away from the North and formed their own army. It became the bloodiest war in American history.
On January 1st 1863, Lincoln declared that all slaves in America were free. But nothing really changed for them. They kept on working for white landowners in the Southern states for the next decades.
As the war went on, the Northerners won many battles—the most famous one was at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. On April 9th 1865 the South gave up and the war was over
Music played an important part in the lives of the African slaves because in the songs they expressed their unhappiness. The most popular instrument was the drums. The ways it could be played was with the palm of their hands, their finger tips or with sticks. An off beat rhythm was when the slaves wore anklets and when they stamped in time with the music they would jingle. Jaw bones were turned into percussion instruments when the teeth were scraped with keys or metal objects. All the instruments used were drums, shakers, tambourines, scrapers and the fiddle
Riley B. King AKA BB King
In 1949, King began recording songs under contract with Los Angeles-based RPM Records. Many of King's early recordings were produced by Sam Phillips, who later founded Sun Records. Before his RPM contract, King had debuted on Bullet Records by issuing the single "Miss Martha King" (1949), which did not chart well. "My very first recordings [in 1949] were for a company out of Nashville called Bullet, the Bullet Record Transcription company," King recalls. "I had horns that very first session. I had Phineas Newborn on piano; his father played drums, and his brother, Calvin, played guitar with me. I had Tuff Green on bass, Ben Branch on tenor sax, his brother, Thomas Branch, on trumpet, and a lady trombone player. The Newborn family were the house band at the famous Plantation Inn in West Memphis."
Performing with his famous guitar, Lucille
King assembled his own band; the B.B. King Review, under the leadership of Millard Lee. The band initially consisted of Calvin Owens and Kenneth Sands (trumpet), Lawrence Burdin (alto saxophone), George Coleman (tenor saxophone),[17] Floyd Newman (baritone saxophone), Millard Lee (piano), George Joyner (bass) and Earl Forest and Ted Curry (drums). Onzie Horne was a trained musician elicited as an arranger to assist King with his compositions. By his own admission, he cannot play chords well[18] and always relies on improvisation. This was followed by tours across the USA with performances in major theaters in cities such as Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and St. Louis, as well as numerous gigs in small clubs and juke joints of the southern US states.
In the winter of 1949, King played at a dance hall in Twist, Arkansas. In order to heat the hall, a barrel half-filled with kerosene was lit, a fairly common practice at the time. During a performance, two men began to fight, knocking over the burning barrel and sending burning fuel across the floor. The hall burst into flames, which triggered an evacuation. Once outside, King realized that he had left his guitar inside the burning building. He entered the blaze to retrieve his beloved guitar, a Gibson hollow electric. Two people died in the fire. The next day, King learned that the two men were fighting over a woman named Lucille. King named that first guitar Lucille, as well as every one he owned since that near-fatal experience, as a reminder never again to do something as stupid as run into a burning building or fight over women.
Riley B King also known as his stage name BB King was born on September 16 ,1925(age 88) near Berclair ,Mississippi, United States

How to trim costs of caring for pets
At 2-and-a-half years old, Sydney is a playful, fun-loving pitbull cross who "is just so goofy," said her owner, Erin Lord Kunz.
"She makes us laugh every day."
As lovable as she is, taking care of Sydney still costs money.
"You kind of plan for it, but you never how expensive it's going to be," Kunz said.
She and her husband, Carter Kunz of Grand Forks, rescued Sydney two years ago from the Humane Society in Mandan, N.D., their hometown.
Sydney's annual physical exam by the veterinarian is "pretty costly," Kunz said. "Her shots are pretty costly. We buy flea and tick medications every year.
"We expected those expenses."
Then there are the unexpected bills, she said, "like the time we thought Sydney had swallowed a die from a Yahtzee game," which warranted a visit to the vet.
"We thought she might need to have an X-ray… Sydney has eaten toys whole."
In this case, luckily, the lost die was found in their home.
David and Kathy Hagen of Roseau, Minn., "have spent a lot of money" on their 13-year-old miniature Schnauzer for treatment of "bladder stones (three times), ulcers and foot injections," they wrote in an email to the Herald.
"I would estimate we have spent over $3,000," David Hagen said.
Added to that are "vaccines, dog food (low calcium) at $70 a bag and well checks" plus the cost of grooming, he said.
To cut the expense of pet-ownership, he recommended adopting your pet from an animal shelter.
It's also a good idea to check out the characteristics of various breeds before making a selection, he said. That will alert you to typical problems in a breed that may require veterinary care.
In his own way, their dog, Doctor Watson, has communicated a certain hierarchy in the home, Hagen said.
"I don't think he thinks of us as (owners) but as his caretakers or maids."
Shared dog-watching
In order to keep pet-related expenses under control, Erin Lord Kunz and Carter Kunz share dog-watching duties with several other friends.
When they went to New York for 10 days last fall, their friends looked after Sydney the entire time.
"We've never had to put her in a doggy day care," Erin said.
The friends take care of each others' pets while the owners are out of town or are very busy with long days at work.
Most of them own dogs but "there's one friend who has a cat who acts like a dog," she said. "He'll run and greet you at the door."
On the "rare days" when she and Carter are away from more than eight hours, Sydney stays in her kennel.
"But then we let her sleep in our bed that night," she said, to compensate.
Another suggestion for trimming costs is to make homemade dog treats, Herald readers said.
Sandi Bates of Bismarck, formerly of Grand Forks, makes Peanut Butter Puppy Poppers, which her German shorthair pointer, Abraham Lincoln, "has always loved."
"Everyone laughs at me," she said in an email, "because I rarely cook for myself but regularly make Poppers for Abraham Lincoln."
Some other tips for saving money on pets:
- Check sites like Groupon for daily deals on toys, treats, day care, dog walkers and grooming services. Also monitor doggyloot.com or coupaw.com for online deals and printable coupons.
- Check out dealwagger.com for doggy duds. Following a company's social media account, website, membership club or email list will bring deals even closer.
- Don't forget thrift shops, or ask your vet if he or she knows of any local deals.
- Scour the Internet for free recipes or books in stores that feature recipes treats and dog food.
- Focus on preventive care, including dental care, for your pet.
"Getting that shot before your dog gets sick is worth it in the long run," said Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of New York's ASPCA Animal Hospital.
"Vaccines or medications help your dog avoid serious illnesses that could cost thousands of dollars to treat," she said.
Watch for bargains
The Kunzes watch for budget-friendly bargains.
"We buy doggy bags (for waste clean-up) in bulk — a thousand at a time — to save money," she said.
The couple does all of Sydney's grooming themselves, including bathing and de-shedding. But they leave the nail-trimming to the experts.
That chore "kind of scares her," she said.
They are "big proponents of the Humane Society," and they encourage others to adopt pets rather than spending hundreds of dollars for one at a store, she said.
Some of her family members were concerned about their adoption of a dog that was part pitbull, Kunz said. But worries quickly subsided.
"She's the sweetest dog in the world."
And she's also something of a fashionista.
Last year, when Lowe's had a "doggy sweater sale" Kunz said, "we stocked up.
"Sydney is one of the rare dogs who really likes to wear clothes. She gets all excited.
"As our only 'child,' we kind of spoil her."

Homemade dog treats
Try these money-saving recipes for treats you can make at home for your furry friend:
Frosty Paws:
Place a banana in a blender or food processor. Add 32 ounces of plain yogurt. Scoop 2 teaspoons of peanut butter and 2 teaspoons of honey into the mix. Put into ice cube tray and freeze — my pups love it!
Submitted by Jennifer Ekberg, Grand Forks
Peanut Butter Puppy Poppers:
2 cups whole wheat flour (no white flour)
1 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
You can roll the dough out like sugar cookie dough and cut out shapes, or roll into quarter-size balls. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Yield: 60-70 balls.
These fit well into a medium-size Kong toy.

Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.

Televisions (also abbreviated TVs) are part of the furniture in most houses in the Pokémon world. They debuted in Generation I, but were merely for decoration until Generation III. They have also appeared in the Pokémon anime.

- 3.5.3 x:35–x:59
- 4 Trivia
In the games
Generations I and II
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these generations were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in FireRed and LeafGreen.
Generation III
Television returned in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, replacing Generation II's radio broadcasts and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in Hoenn, but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as swarming Pokémon, or when the player changes a Pokémon's nickname at the Name Rater. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!" will be played. The programming is organized by Hoenn TV.
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, a key item called the Teachy TV is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the Poké Dude will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
Generation IV
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum television screens flash constantly. Jubilife TV produces many television programs broadcast all around the Sinnoh region, including the Trend Tracker show, Trainer Research, and Sinnoh Now. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including swarming Pokémon and weather conditions affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of interviewers which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning trendy phrases in Snowpoint City. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.
The events of the main storyline in Diamond and Pearl are encouraged by a television program, The Search for the Red Gyarados. Later, at the Survival Area, the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In Platinum this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see Azelf before Team Galactic detonates the Galactic Bomb there.
There is also a TV in the Old Chateau which contains a wild Rotom at night (after obtaining the National Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).
Generation V
In Pokémon Black and White, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.
For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.
From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various Abilities; "Moves for Living", which describes various moves that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.
For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and Horoscope", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "Koukan Talk", which teaches Japanese in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.
Generation VI
In Pokémon X and Y, televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, The television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though you will never the watch the same program twice in a row). If you watch the same television and do not exit the room, repeats of an episode you have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until you exit the room.
Shows that are broadcast include:
- The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!
- PokéQuiz
- Best of Sinnoh TV
- I-See News
- Gym Freaks
- What's That?
- Unova Sports Spectacular!
- The Pokémon Whisperer
- Nadia Reports (note this show is not given a title)
In Gym Freaks, the Gym Leader April interviews will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the one you started at. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until you come back to same Gym Leader you started with.
In the anime
Television has been present in the anime since the first episode, where Ash saw a Pokémon League battle on television. Ash and his traveling companions have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the Advanced Generation series. Once, however, in The Rivalry Revival, Jessie and James pretend to make a live broadcast on Ash's special dinner in his house in Pallet Town. The meal commemorates his departure for Johto, which will happen the next day. During the report, they devour some of the food, trap Ash's Pikachu inside the supposed camera, and soon flee from the house. Fortunately for Ash and his friends, Tracey's Scyther frees Pikachu by cutting through the camera.
Max mentioned watching the Silver Conference on television when he first meets Ash in There's no Place Like Hoenn!, and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching Pokémon Contests and Grand Festivals on TV, and in Saved by the Beldum! several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, Sinnoh Now is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host Rhonda. She and the Sinnoh Now staff have appeared in The Champ Twins!, All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go, A Secret Sphere of Influence!, Top-Down Training!, Mass Hip-Po-Sis!, Our Cup Runneth Over!, Losing Its Lustrous, Pursuing a Lofty Goal!, and Beating the Bustle and Hustle!.
Television shows in the Pokémon world
In Kanto, specifically in Generations I and III, all televisions except the one in the living room of the player's house cannot be interacted with. The one that can be interacted with displays a movie.
|There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks. I better go too.
|There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks. …I better go, too.*
|There's a movie on TV. A girl with her hair in pigtails is walking up a brick road. …I better go, too.*
| The movie from Red, Blue, and Yellow and FireRed and LeafGreen (if player is male) is a reference to the movie Stand by Me.
If the player is female, the movie from FireRed and LeafGreen is a reference to the movie The Wizard of Oz.
Teachy TV
The Teachy TV, which exists only in FireRed and LeafGreen, airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the Poké Dude instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
- Start of the show
- "Hey, all you Trainers out there! HELLO, Trainers! ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, Trainers! It's me, the Poké Dude!"
- Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
- "All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the super/sorta super Poké Dude Show!"
- End of the show
- "Remember, Trainers, a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"
"Teach me how to battle."
"What are status problems?"
"What are type matchups?"
"I want to catch Pokémon."
"Teach me about TMs."
"How do I register an item?"
There are no television shows in Johto as they are replaced by radio programs.
Hoenn was the first region to have multiple TV shows available in a single game. However, they only show programs when an event occurs. In that case, they will be flashing. Otherwise, the TV usually displays "Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!"
Player's house
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program.
- There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard. Better get going!
Gabby interviews (In Search of Trainers)
- Subsequent times
- "Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the Trainer <player>. There's something about this Trainer that piqued our interest. We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the Trainer has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this Trainer! The best way to determine how strong a Trainer is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured Trainer. The combination of <Pokémon at the end> and <second Pokémon at the end> was divine! The sight of them--<Pokémon at the end> and <second Pokémon at the end>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the Trainer used last in our battle. The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!/Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>! After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The Trainer replied, "<word>." <player>'s Pokémon <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good Trainer has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"
Name Rater Show
Sinnoh introduced news that was always present, along with commercials.
Sinnoh News
Unova introduces more TV shows. The types of shows broadcast depend on the in-game time, except in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times he or she has used the move Struggle.
Pokémon Trainer <player>
- It's the cartoon "Pokémon Trainer <player>"
- It's the success story of the rookie Pokémon Trainer, <player>, who set out on a journey to become the Champion a year ago!

- TVs are wider since the Generation IV games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
- In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the Villa television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.
