This resolved gripe is influencing 161,823 people thru 1,099 friends and followers
Dropped off a portable air conditioner for repairs. This particular unit was purchased from Sears.com on Aug 1, 2011. After initially contacting the manufacturer (Edgestar) I was informed that the unit is still under warranty for the parts but labor would be my responsibility. They also told me to drop it off at Sears, which I also did. This was on May 30, 2012. After waiting the required 10-15 days I contacted the Sears store to find out the status of my air conditioner. I was informed that it wasn't repaired nor was Edgestar contacted and it would be sent back to the store on Tuesday, June, 19, for me to pick up. First, I was never called regarding the lack of repairs nor was I called about the unit being sent back (May 30 - June 19, you do the math). After calling and speaking to Raymond, Heather and Annie, I was given the runaround and was brushed off. I've been back in contact with Edgestar to hopefully resolve this with them directly. This is the last time I will be buying from Sears. I've gone ahead and filed a complaint with the BBB. I will also be telling EVERYONE about my experience. Dealing with Sears has definitely been the epitome of horrible customer service!!!!!!
Repair my air conditioner as covered under the warranty or give me a reasonable explanation of the horrific customer service.
This story is similar to so many I have heard about sears' customer service. They have an honesty problem that needs to be fixed. If a repair/service/or other action cannot be made DON'T TELL THE CUSTOMER IT CAN HAPPEN!!! No one likes to be lied to!!!Jun 15 2012
I just got off the phone with Marta, from Sears 800-4MY-HOME. After looking up my order she informed me that the unit is still covered under the warranty and can be dropped off at my local Sears. There was no hesitation in deciding whether the warranty still exists. I'm not sure why I get one answer from some of there employees and a completely total different answer from others.
The manager at my local Sears store, Annie, was completely condescending. It's a shame that Sears decides to treat its customers this way. Thank God for Home Depot, Lowes and Target.Jun 16 2012
Been in contact with John, a Social Media Case Mgr. John patiently listened to my issue and was able to give me the information that I needed. John has informed me that he will look into my situation and help me out. Was finally good to talk to someone who had the correct answers. So far things are looking positive.Jun 17 2012
I contacted Sears @sears and informed them of your gripe. Hopefully they'll be in touch soon. Best, Kim (Gripe Support Team)Jun 19 2012
Thanks Kim, it must have worked because I've been inundated with emails and phone calls from Sears. I'll update my gripe when I hear more.Jun 20 2012
Boy, this just gets better and better. I just got off the phone with a Sears Rep and was told that after doing some more looking into I now have to seek an exchange with the original manufacturer (EdgeStar). Mind you this is still after Sears has had my broke A/C unit since 5/31. I'm just waiting to see what the outcome will be.Jun 21 2012
Wow. Remind me to never shop there again... I bought my AC there last summer, and I'm afraid of having to take it back in for service...Jun 21 2012
I can't believe the amount of feedback that I've received from other disgruntled Sears customers. After this case is solved (Fall will be here soon) I will NEVER buy from Sears, especially Sears.com again. The runaround I've received as been unbearable. No two Sears reps can come up with the same answer. Each new conversation brings about new ideas and false information. I am truly thinking about filing a complaint with the NYs Attorney General.Jun 21 2012
And the saga continues. Supposedly getting a phone call within the next two business days to get a replacement certificate. This is what I was told the first time.....Jun 22 2012
Rich -if you continue to have headaches, go ahead and call the NYS Attorney General. They have helped Chris and I in the past. Tel 800-771-7755 or www.oag.state.ny.us GOOD LUCK!Jun 23 2012
Looks like a resolution is slowly coming. Received a call today from Sears informing me that a replacement certificate is being sent. This certificate will allow us to receive a replacement A/C unit.Jun 25 2012
Anyone who buys anything from Sears.com is absolutely crazy. After hearing my story you'll be sure to stay clear away from Sears.Jul 1 2012
Sears sent me a certificate for a replacement unit valued at $499 along with a $100 gift card. New unit was purchased at local Sears store.Jul 3 2012
Rich, I am truly sorry to hear about the level of service that you recently received when trying to get your air conditioning unit repaired. I can understand your frustrations with having waited just about 3 weeks to hear back, only to be told that no repairs were done and the unit was on the way back.
As a valued Sears customer, we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you further and be your one point of contact within Sears to get this issue resolved to your satisfaction and do so in a timely fashion.
At your convenience, please contact our office via email at email@example.com so you don't have to be upset by this any longer. In the email, please provide a contact number and the phone number that the item is listed under (if different than the contact phone number) and we will call you directly. In addition, please include your Screen name (Rich Eckert) in the email for reference to your issue. Again, we're sorry for any trouble we have caused and we hope to talk to you soon.
Thank you,
Tony T.Jul 17 2012
Obviously no one talks to one another at Sears. They have no idea that this has been "resolved". It's sad.Jul 17 2012

Pre-convention, Mayor Anthony Foxx noted that 80 percent of the scene you can plan for, 20 percent you just have to roll with.
Who knew the rolling could be so great?
Monday I heard that Jon Stewart was at a gathering to draw awareness to Wounded Warriors. It was at a neighbor's house, so I went.
That's where I met stars: They are veterans and heroes. They have served an America filled with citizens who don't recognize or support their sacrifice near enough.
Some have lost limbs; some have lost friends. All need our support as they work to rebuild their lives here at home.
Jon Stewart was there, too. He stood off to the side, listening intently to the speakers.
I was reminded of the realities of war and the human cost. Then, I was ashamed that I have to be reminded.
Before I leave, Rick Cantwell of the Military Family LifeStyle Charitable Foundation points out the Honor1 reminder coin. It's made by disabled veterans in Shelby and helps hospitalized veterans via a donation. I vow to sign up to support the program.
I will not think about our military involvement the same way ever again.
Mayor Foxx speaks often of the legacies of the convention. I realize that maybe 80 percent of the legacies can be planned. A magical 20 percent just roll your way.

Norman Bates and his mom were just really, really close, okay? That's the jumping-off point for A&E's Bates Motel (premiering March 18 at ten), a sort of prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic Psycho in which mother and son have set up shop in Northern California following the mysterious — and bloody — death of Norman's dad. But rather than going back to the fifties, Norman's coming-of-age story is set in the modern day, by way of Twin Peaks with an Oedipal twist. As played by Vera Farmiga, Norma Bates is haunted, protective, sexy, and her relationship with Norman is at once innocent, intimate, and smothering. Following the Bates Motel press tour panel, Vulture caught up with Farmiga, who talked about playing mothers and becoming best friends with co-star Freddie Highmore.

A new trailer for Saw and Insidious director James Wan's latest horror film The Conjuring has been unveiled.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star in The Conjuring as paranormal investigators who attempt to help rid a rural family of vengeful demons.
The supporting cast for The Conjuring includes Mackenzie Foy, Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor.
Joey King, John Brotherton, Shannon Kook and Shanley Caswel also appear in the film, which is being produced by New Line Cinema.
The Conjuring was written by Chad and Carey Hayes, who previously penned 2005's House of Wax.
Wan's The Conjuring opens on July 19 in the US and the UK.

We've seen quite a few dark glimpses into the world of "Bates Motel," the upcoming A&E prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," but a new teaser at last gives us a good look at the show's main cast members.
"Bates" is from the minds of "Lost" exec Carlton Cuse and "Friday Night Lights" writer Kerry Ehrin and explores the early days of everyone's favorite mama's boy, Norman Bates, after the duo open a motel in a rural area.
Unlike the previous teasers, which emphasized creepy, David Lynch-lite surrealism and outright horror, this new one finally centers on the show's hero, Norman Bates ("Finding Neverland's" Freddie Highmore) and his dear old mum, played by "Up in the Air" star Vera Farmiga. They sit on the bed together (perhaps a bit too close together), as the camera slowly tracks in on Norman's smirking visage. The only dialogue: "I love you, Norman."
I have added some pictures among posters, stills, on sets and promos of the movie.

Three new actors joined Admissions and one of them are Vera's lovely younger sister Taissa. I can't wait to see them on screen together!
Taissa Farmiga, Spencer Lofranco, and Nicholas Braun signed on to the indie dramedy Admissions. Andy Garcia and Vera Farmiga star as "a man and woman who fall in love while taking their children on a college admissions tour." According to THR, Lofranco will play Garcia's son and Taissa Farmiga will play Vera Farmiga's daughter. The common last name and 21-year age gap between them sounds perfect for an on-screen mother-daughter duo. But in fact, the Farmigas are actually sisters. Braun will play an upperclassmen who is leading the tour.
Lofranco is new to the business, but I like what I saw of Braun and especially Farmiga on their respective basic cable shows, 10 Things I Hate About You and American Horror Story. Writer/directors Glenn German and Adam Rodgers secured a nice cast for their feature directorial debut. Shooting begins next month in Spokane, Washington.

Santa Paula is a city within Ventura County, California, United States. The population was 29,321 at the 2010 census, up from 28,598 at the 2000 census. It has been dubbed the "Citrus Capital of the World." As the initial headquarters of the Union Oil Company of California, Santa Paula was one of the early centers of California's enormous petroleum industry.
Santa Paula is located at 34°21′21″N 119°4′6″W / 34.35583°N 119.06833°W (34.355792, -119.068425).[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.7 square miles (12 km2), 4.6 square miles (12 km2) of it land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it (2.41%) water.
The vicinity of Santa Paula was originally inhabited by the Chumash, a Native American people. Father Junipero Serra became active in the area during the Spanish mission period; the town takes its name from the Catholic Saint Paula. Santa Paula is located on the 1843 Rancho Santa Paula y Saticoy Mexican land grant.
In 1872 Nathan Weston Blanchard purchased 2,700 acres (10.9 km2) and founded the town of Santa Paula. Several small oil companies owned by Wallace Hardison, Lyman Stewart and Thomas R. Bard were combined and to become the Union Oil Company in 1890.
In April 1911, Gaston Méliès moved his Star Film Company from San Antonio, Texas to a site just north of Santa Paula.
The large South Mountain Oil Field southeast of town, just across the Santa Clara River, was discovered by the Oak Ridge Oil Company in 1916, and developed methodically through the 1920s, bringing further economic diversification and growth to the area. While the field peaked in production in the 1950s, Occidental Petroleum continues to extract oil through its Vintage Production subsidiary and remains a significant local employer.
In 1928, the town was devastated by a flood caused by the failure of the St. Francis Dam.
The 2010 United States Census[3] reported that Santa Paula had a population of 29,321. The population density was 6,230.3 people per square mile (2,405.5/km²). The racial makeup of Santa Paula was 18,458 (63.0%) White, 152 (0.5%) African American, 460 (1.6%) Native American, 216 (0.7%) Asian, 24 (0.1%) Pacific Islander, 8,924 (30.4%) from other races, and 1,087 (3.7%) from two or more races.

The median age was 31.1 years. For every 100 females there were 101.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 101.5 males.
There were 8,749 housing units at an average density of 1,859.1 per square mile (717.8/km²), of which 4,694 (56.2%) were owner-occupied, and 3,653 (43.8%) were occupied by renters. The homeowner vacancy rate was 2.0%; the rental vacancy rate was 4.1%. 15,528 people (53.0% of the population) lived in owner-occupied housing units and 13,660 people (46.6%) lived in rental housing units.
As of the census of 2000, there were 28,598 people, 8,137 households, and 6,435 families residing in the city. The population density was 6,214.6 inhabitants per square mile (2,400.4/km²). There were 8,341 housing units at an average density of 1,812.6 per square mile (700.1/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 35.2% White, 5.41% African American, 1.02% Native American, 0.70% Asian, 0.19% Pacific Islander, .37% from other races, and 4.68% from two or more races.

The average household size was 3.49 and the average family size was 3.86.
In the city the population was spread out with 31.4% under the age of 18, 10.9% from 18 to 24, 29.7% from 25 to 44, 17.3% from 45 to 64, and 10.7% who were 65 years of age or older.

About 12.2% of families and 14.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 18.4% of those under age 18 and 9.1% of those age 65 or over.
Santa Paula's economy is primarily agriculturally based, originally focusing on the growing of oranges and lemons. Recently, however, avocados have also been grown, and an avocado was added to the city's official seal (Calavo Growers, Inc. is headquartered here.) Santa Paula's mediterranean climate combined with an estimated 20 feet (6.1 m) of topsoil have made it one of the best locations for growing citrus.
Santa Paula has very few large retail stores, the largest of which are Kmart and Vons. Many residents travel to neighboring cities to purchase hard goods. Santa Paula's Main Street area consists mostly of clothing shops, specialty shops, novelty shops, 99-cent stores, restaurants, service-oriented businesses and office space. The city is home to a smattering of neighborhood stores and small grocery markets. Many of these small shops and markets have a distinct Latin-American flavor, often selling myriad imported items. In addition some markets also have a meat department which sells a variety of beef, poultry, and seafood.
Santa Paula has often been described as a quaint town, boasting a main street reminiscent of Middle America but with a Mexican flavor. In contrast to many Southern California cities which have grown into massive metropolitan areas teeming with people, highways, and buildings, Santa Paula is an oasis of tranquility nestled between large greenbelts of citrus and avocado orchards. Unlike neighboring cities such as Oxnard and Ventura, Santa Paula suffers from very little traffic. City roads are free of congestion, and drivers on the Santa Paula Freeway (SR 126) only experience traffic in the event of a major accident. However, despite the city's lower population and semi-rural setting, Santa Paula is generally bustling with life. People are always out and about, walking, socializing, or playing sports at the city's public parks.
The California Oil Museum,[5] within the historic Union Oil building is located downtown, and the Santa Paula Art Museum and Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum are just up the street. The Santa Paula Mural Project has completed numerous murals depicting the city's history.
Santa Paula was the early film capital of California. Gaston Méliès brought his Star Film Company to the city in 1911, filming movies such as The Ghost of Sulphur Mountain.
Santa Paula has been featured in Hollywood media on numerous occasions, some examples include:
On the television drama The West Wing, Santa Paula is the hometown of fictional Presidential candidate Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda). In early 2005, Santa Paula Mayor Mary Ann Krause began a lobbying campaign to have Santa Paula declared Vinick's hometown. In a publicity move for the town, city officials officially "claim[ed] Senator Arnold Vinick as a resident of Santa Paula," in April 2005, and opened an official campaign headquarters for the fictional Republican Senator in the town's train depot. (Santa Paula for Vinick) On October 14, 2005, NBC released Vinick's official biography and revealed Santa Paula as the town in which he was raised. [1]
The Santa Paula Train Depot was one of the locations for the Thornbirds mini-series starting Richard Chamberlain.
Parts of the movie Disorganized Crime 1989 starring Fred Gwynne of the Munsters, was filmed downtown on Main Street.
Santa Paula also served as one of the locations for the motion picture Mr. Woodcock (2007) starring Billy Bob Thornton.
A good portion of Joe Dirt (2001) starring David Spade was filmed downtown as well as at the popular restaurant Mary B's.
The Lindsay Lohan movie Georgia Rule (2007) was filmed in Santa Paula.
The majority of the 1997 film Leave It to Beaver was filmed in Santa Paula, with many Santa Paula residents being cast in minor character roles and as extras. The famous scene of Beaver trapped in the giant coffee cup had Main Street Santa Paula blocked off for almost a week while filming continued.
Dennis DeYoung, former lead singer of the popular 1970s rock group Styx, filmed the music video for Desert Moon, also the title of his first solo album, at the Santa Paula train depot in 1984.
Also, parts of the Brian De Palma movie Carrie (1976) starring Sissy Spacek were filmed in the small town.
Other movies that were filmed partially in Santa Paula include The Philadelphia Experiment (1984), For Love of the Game (1999) Bubble Boy (2001) starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Bedtime Stories (2008) starring Adam Sandler .
The James M. Sharp House is an historical Italian Villa style house built in 1890. It is located on West Telegraph Road, just outside of Santa Paula, and has been the setting for several movies including Amityville 4 (1989), and The Black Gate (1995), and How To Make An American Quilt (1995).
Various commercials, including a Super Bowl Budweiser commercial, have been filmed in downtown Santa Paula.

I'm not a fan of The Sartorialist. I was, until I heard some of the shit that came out of his mouth. However, I love Garance, her illustrations (seen behind her) and her clean French taste.

Cardium Announces The Acquisition Of To Go Brands
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardium Therapeutics (NYSE MKT: CXM) today announced that its MedPodium® operating unit has acquired the assets, business and product portfolio of privately-held To Go Brands® to support the expansion of Cardium's health sciences nutraceutical brand platform. To Go Brands have introduced products in a number of food, drug and mass channel retailers, and the company recorded revenues of approximately $1.7 million for the first 6 months of 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051018/CARDIUMLOGO)
San Diego-based To Go Brands develops, markets and sells a portfolio of over 25 products, including nutraceutical powder mixes, supplements and chews to support healthy lifestyles. The product line includes antioxidant-rich drink mixes in convenient stick packs that are designed to pour directly into a water bottle, as well as mix packages for home use and capsule-based dietary supplements, including Trim Energy Green Coffee Bean™, which supports healthy weight loss. These products are sold through food, drug and mass channels at retailers including Whole Foods®, CVS®, Kroger®, GNC®, Jewel-Osco®, Ralph's Supermarkets®, Meijr®, and the Vitamin Shoppe® and from the company's web-based store. To learn more about To Go Brands, please visit www.togobrands.com. An updated investor presentation that includes information on To Go Brands will be available later today on Cardium's website at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=77949&p=irol-presentations.
"Our acquisition of To Go Brands is focused on building Cardium's MedPodium in-house brand platform and health sciences business. To Go Brands have an established brand, a portfolio of marketed products, established logistics and distribution capabilities, a website e-commerce platform, and an experienced management team with key contacts and a track record of developing and placing new and innovative health and nutraceutical products into the mass, food and drug retail channels. To Go Brands will coordinate Cardium's health sciences brand platform, including the MedPodium Nutra-Apps® product line, as well as our strategic investment in SourceOne Global Partners, a leading supplier of science-based ingredients and proprietary formulas to the national supplement and functional food and beverage industries. According to a new industry report, U.S. supplement sales are estimated to total $11.5 billion in 2012 and are projected to reach $15.5 billion by 2017. The success of products like Five Hour Energy® have shown that the nutraceutical space has the potential to generate billion dollar products without the extensive regulatory and other hurdles biologics and pharmaceuticals face," stated Christopher J. Reinhard, Chief Executive Officer of Cardium."Cardium continues to focus on the strategic partnering, business development and economic monetization of our advanced tissue engineering investment that includes our FDA-cleared Excellagen professional-use wound care product, which is designed as an acellular biological modulator to activate the healing process. At the same time, bioRASI, our development partner, continues to advance the international ASPIRE Phase 3 clinical development of our Generx [Ad5FGF-4] DNA-based angiogenic biologic product candidate for the potential treatment of patients with myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease. In addition, consistent with our capital-efficient business model, we continue to actively evaluate new technologies and business opportunities," Mr. Reinhard added.

Phony Gold Nugget -- April Fool's Day, 1988
In late March, Australian fruit grower Bob Boyce revealed that he had unearthed a 10-pound gold nugget while planting a citrus tree. He told the media, "I've dug hundreds of holes for trees on my property and I've never found anything apart from a few river stones." After having the nugget assayed, he named it "Mortgage Buster," because it was found to be worth around $70,000, enough to pay off his mortgage. The story was picked up by the international media, with Reuters reporting that the Australian government had confirmed the worth of the nugget.
But on April 1, Boyce confessed that the gold nugget was phony. He explained, "I didn't plan the joke for personal publicity. I just wanted to bring a smile to people on April Fools' Day."

"I've been shining this thing for 43 years like it was Aladdin's lamp," Murray said. "It's brought lots of good luck to me. That's why I want to turn it over to the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame."

Mahogany Sleigh Bed Heads for the Cliff
Do mine eyes deceive me, or is this a really good column by Peggy Noonan on the Republican disarray? Sanity seems to have returned as if from a long sea voyage spent with the gulls.
The headline Wednesday on Drudge, from Politico, said, "Republicans Stunned by Loss in Mississippi." It was about the eight-point drubbing the Democrat gave the Republican in the special House election. My first thought was: You have to be stupid to be stunned by that. Second thought: Most party leaders in Washington are stupid - detached, played out, stuck in the wisdom they learned when they were coming up, in '78 or '82 or '94. Whatever they learned then, they think pertains now. In politics especially, the first lesson sticks. For Richard Nixon, everything came back to Alger Hiss.
They are also - Hill leaders, lobbyists, party speakers - successful, well-connected, busy and rich. They never guessed, back in '86, how government would pay off! They didn't know they'd stay! They came to make a difference and wound up with their butts in the butter. But affluence detaches, and in time skews thinking. It gives you the illusion you're safe, and that everyone else is. A party can lose its gut this way.
Many are ambivalent, deep inside, about the decisions made the past seven years in the White House. But they've publicly supported it so long they think they . . . support it. They get confused. Late at night they toss and turn in the antique mahogany sleigh bed in the carpeted house in McLean and try to remember what it is they really do think, and what those thoughts imply.
And those are the bright ones. The rest are in Perpetual 1980: We have the country, the troops will rally in the fall.
This explains the almost touching devotion, tinged with desperation, that one can witness almost every day over at NRO's Corner, where one lunchtime slacker or another relays with excitement Rush Limbaugh's latest mouthblast of derision against spineless Republicans and gutless liberals--Rush was "on fire" today, they quiver, sounding like Nanny Hawkins huddled around the wireless marveling how Mr. Churchill just gave that Mr. Hitler quite a talking-to. Rush is the only last troop-rally'er this tired-blood brigade has left and their clinging to the backward tug of his stale certitudes (global warming is an enviromental-wacko socialist sham, etc) only widens the distance between them and the reality of how much damage kneejerk conservatism and blind Bush loyalty has inflicted on the Republican Party. Noonan:
What happens to the Republicans in 2008 will likely be dictated by what didn't happen in 2005, and '06, and '07. The moment when the party could have broken, on principle, with the administration - over the thinking behind and the carrying out of the war, over immigration, spending and the size of government - has passed. What two years ago would have been honorable and wise will now look craven. They're stuck.
Mr. Bush has squandered the hard-built paternity of 40 years. But so has the party, and so have its leaders. If they had pushed away for serious reasons, they could have separated the party's fortunes from the president's. This would have left a painfully broken party, but they wouldn't be left with a ruined "brand," as they all say, speaking the language of marketing. And they speak that language because they are marketers, not thinkers. Not serious about policy. Not serious about ideas. And not serious about leadership, only followership.
This is and will be the great challenge for John McCain: The Democratic argument, now being market tested by Obama Inc., that a McCain victory will yield nothing more or less than George Bush's third term.
That was one of the chords Obama struck today in his response to Bush's "Nazi appeaser" accusation before the Israeli Knesset--he firmly, deftly mummy-wrapped Bush and McCain together and dropped them off at the pier. It's rather impressive to see a first-term senator chastise the President of the United States and the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party as if he were the headmaster and they the ones guilty of infractions unworthy of upperclassmen. That's one of the benefits of having an oratorical voice that sounds tall--it automatically adds height to every utterance, allowing them to drop like acorns and make a nice thunk when they bounce off of the nearest thick skull.

Firestein isn't willing to wait for the restitution payments to start. He vows to sue Ken and Roxann on the grounds that they're responsible for their sons' actions, even though he admits that they "don't have two nickels to rub together." Then why sue? "You tell me why not. I'm the victim," he says. "No one has done anything to help me."
Ken Dagenais now delivers air conditioning equipment by truck for $8.50 an hour. Because he can't read road signs, he drives his tricounty route with the help of a detailed pictorial map drawn by a coworker. He hopes the extra income he makes from overtime will help keep his marriage together. "I like being married," he says. "But I know that if she found another man, she'd leave."
Roxann more or less confirms that. "We'll stay together until I get over the shock and decide that I want my life back," she says. But under the strain of her sons' legal problems, she's regained the 25 pounds she'd shed to get back on the dating circuit. She has some money set aside for a tummy tuck but is resigned to spending it on Wayne's continuing legal costs.
She wonders why her life didn't turn out quite as she had hoped. "Remember the Leave It to Beaver family on TV, where everyone is united and the grandmother bakes cookies?" she asks. "Does that ever happen anymore?"

Deutsche shifts top Mideast ECM banker to London
Deutsche Bank is moving its top Middle East equity banker to London from Dubai, the bank confirmed, the latest in a string of moves by international banks prompted by low business volumes in the region.
October 15, 2011 3:59 by Reuters
The German bank said Christopher Laing, head of MENA equity capital markets, was relocating to the UK from the Gulf, without adding further detail.
Earlier, four banking sources had told Reuters that Laing was returning to London, having been originally relocated to the UAE in 2008 when Western banks were boosting their presence in the Gulf to offset falling revenues in the United States and Europe.
However, the hoped-for boom did not materialise and, with scant equity issuance from the Gulf for the last three years, institutions are now drawing people back.
"There is just not enough business to warrant keeping a purely ECM banker based in the region," a source with knowledge of the move said.
According to Ernst & Young, the value of MENA initial public offerings was down 52 percent in the second quarter of 2011, at $374.8 million from $775.4 million in the same period in 2010.
Globally, $64.6 billion was raised by companies through IPOs in the second quarter of this year.
Laing will continue to be based in Dubai until the end of the year and will formally begin covering the region from the UK in January, a second source said.
Citi has already moved its top MENA equity banker, Adam Key, back to the UK, according to two banking sources.
Key, who was also sent to the region from London in 2008, relocated over the summer, the sources said.
International banks have been reassessing their presence in the Gulf as a dearth of work is compounded by pressure to make cost savings.
Credit Agricole is closing its Middle Eastern mergers and acquisitions operations, with the business to be run from its Paris office, an executive told Reuters last month.
Meanwhile, Japan's largest investment bank, Nomura, shut down its research department in Dubai, and Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse cut their top equity research jobs for the MENA region, sources told Reuters in September.

Moreover, development and diversification appear to be related.

HOISINGTON — While character education is common in elementary school and junior high schools, it is unusual to find high schools that are teaching responsibility, honesty, and making good choices, but Hoisington High is doing just that.
New HHS principal Meg Wilson, along with the school district and staff, have developed multiple approaches to achieve those goals. "We want to get back to a service-oriented curriculum," said Wilson. "We have a lot of great things going on."

Fantastic Fest: 'Detective Downs' Is Norwegian Noir With HeartFantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on September 21, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Robert Bogerud (Svein André Hofsø) is a rather unique detective. Of course he has the typical hat and trench coat favored by private eyes past, he places ads in local papers as detectives are wont to do, and like many of his brethren he specializes in missing persons cases. He's also never had a case, missing person or otherwise. What makes him unique though is the very same reason he's never actually been hired. Robert has Down Syndrome and lives in a group home. When a distraught woman appears in his "office" requesting his help even he's dumbfounded. "But," he says matter of factly, thinking perhaps she's somehow missed the obvious, "I've got Down Syndrome." Undeterred, Rita Starr hires him to find her missing husband, a former Olympic champion named Olav. The two head off to Starr's estate with the cheers of Robert's fellow residents bringing a smile and a lift to his his step, but his investigation begins hitting snags almost immediately. All is not as it seems between Olav's wife, elderly mother, and two grown children, and it's going to take everything Robert's got to solve and survive the case. Detective Downs could have easily taken a turn for the insensitive or the crass, but co-writer/director Bård Breien weaves a gentle, fun, and warm mystery thanks in large part to his lead actor.
The 12 Most Anticipated Movies of Fantastic Fest 2013Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on September 16, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
The most magical time of year is once again upon us as Austin prepares to open its doors, coffee houses, bars, and RV-based donut shops to visitors from around the world coming to celebrate wonderful and the weird in international cinema with Fantastic Fest. This year's roster is a bit lighter compared to recent years, but a reduction in quantity has no bearing on quality. The fest will also be taking place in a new Alamo Drafthouse this year at the Lakeline location, and if it's anything like every other Drafthouse it's going to be awesome. Two of the titles I can already vouch for as being incredibly entertaining slices of cinema include the blackly comic thriller from Israel, Big Bad Wolves, and the beautifully executed action/suspense Korean film, Confession of Murder. Both are so damn good that I may actually be visiting them for a second time. FSR's team coverage this year will be in the mostly capable hands of Adam Charles, Neil Miller, Michael Treveloni, and me. We're excited about the entire fest and just about every movie playing, but we decided to highlight our most anticipated by picking three films each to share below.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Protemnodon is a genus of megafaunal macropods that existed in Australia, Tasmania and Papua New Guinea in the Pleistocene. Based on fossil evidence it is thought that Protemnodon was physically similar to wallabies but far larger; Protemnodon hopei was the smallest in the genus weighing about 45 kilograms, the other species all weighed over 110 kg.[2]

Added Feb 11, 2013
by oinochoe
Vienna, Austria
Initially I planned to make a cape, but this fabric is extremly lightweighted, so I thought it would not guarrantie a perfect drape. Hence I searched for an altenative pattern, for a jacket or coat. My Choice fell on this short coat. This sixtiesstyle pattern with a slight A line will go well with the rasberrycolor. But the soft and cosy woolfleece needs additional support and more stabilitt , I lined it with matching polyesterlining and did an extra backing or underlining with a thin viscose fabric. These three layers will make the drape soft, will give more depth and warmth.
For the front facing I used an elastic cotton fabric witch looks a little Ruetro, also it is quite thin, it will not produce extrbuckles or additional thickness. For closing I covered press studs with polyesterlining .
This coat turned out to be extremly comfortable , light, but stable and very warm. My favorite coat this winter! Who wants to know more about it, Visite my Blog

Beautiful Jacket! It looks great on you too! Your coat won me over and now I might have to buy this pattern!

Oregon mall shooter used stolen rifle, police say
PORTLAND, Ore. — Gunfire rang out in the mall food court, instantly transforming a casual afternoon of holiday shopping into a nightmare. The shooter, armed with a rifle, was dressed in dark clothing and wore a hockey-style face mask.
As panicked shoppers fled for cover, workers ushered some into hiding places within stores, or helped them to the exits. The first officers to arrive formed groups and rushed into the chaos, rather than waiting for the more heavily armed SWAT team.

Sea, Sun, Scalpel - How far will you go to impress
By mikebrains
Summer brings with it ideas of suntanned bodies relaxing on sandy beaches, volleyball and beach parties. And, as many people know it is the time to show your body off in short shorts and tiny tee-shirts. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Many people however, dread summer because they are not happy with their body shape and weight and do not want to go out in public wearing skimpy clothes. A few years ago the solution to getting the perfect summer bod was to spend a few weeks at the gym and a day at the tanning salon to get that golden brown look on your toned body. Today, trim, tanned and toned is no longer enough and people are placing higher expectations on their body that it is impossible to naturally fulfil.
Women want D or E sized breasts, perfectly curved derrieres with no hint of fat and slim thighs and arms. A washboard stomach is of course a must have along with a beautiful face and perfect nose. Since a double D is not something that can be achieved in gym and no amount of dieting can give you that perfect nose, people today are turning to cosmetic surgery for their summer look.
As for men, the muscular look is in, and it is possible that many men will also turn to plastic surgery to get their bodies in shape.
Hundreds of advertisements for summer makeovers and summer cosmetic surgery discounts are available now, as most plastic surgery clinics know well enough to take advantage of this trend of needing the perfect summer bod!

Rankings won't tell you everything you need to know about a nursing school, but they will point you in the right direction. They're an excellent starting point for finding a reputable, competitive nursing program. At a glance they allow you to compare the relative quality of the most reputable nursing schools based on generally accepted indicators of quality such as graduation rates, student retention, and faculty. Rankings may also help to broaden your options. You may be surprised to find some new nursing schools on this Best Nursing Colleges rankings list that you hadn't previously considered attending.
As we mentioned, rankings are just a starting point in your search for a nursing school or college. As you search for a good nursing program there are many things you should consider. If you work, does the program offer a heavily structured or a more flexible environment? How involved are school faculty in the program? How strong is a nursing school's affiliation with major hospitals and clinics? How much clinical work is required for graduation? Does the nursing school provide adequate resources including computers, science laboratories and off-campus/clinical work? How large are the class sizes? What type of academic and career counseling services does the school provide? How much one-on-one time can you expect to receive with your professor? What is the school's student placement rate for graduates of their nursing program?
Below you'll find the 2013 edition of U.S. News & World Report's Best Nursing College Rankings. It highlights the best nursing schools and programs across the United States. To get started simply pick a school from the list below – and then start doing your homework!
If you are interested in earning your nursing degree or improving your nursing career and worry about being able to with your already demanding schedule, the University of Phoenix has flexible nursing degree programs that are fully accredited by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Nursing College Rankings by Specialty
- Clinical Nurse Specialist: Adult / Medical-Surgical
- Clinical Nurse Specialist: Community / Public Health
- Clinical Nurse Specialist: Psychiatric / Mental Health
- Nurse Practitioner: Adult
- Nurse Practitioner: Family
- Nurse Practitioner: Gerontological/Geriatric
- Nurse Practitioner: Pediatric
- Nursing Service Administration
Below you'll find a little bit more information that will assist you in your search for the best possible nursing school to meet your needs.
Nursing School Accreditation
One of the first things you should look at when evaluating a nursing school is whether or not it's accredited, as well as its accreditation status. Accreditation ensures that a nursing program meets the minimum standards that are associated with a quality education. The two types of higher education accreditation are national accreditation and regional accreditation. While national accreditation is acceptable, regional accreditation is preferred, especially if you plan pursuing a graduate nursing degree down the road at an accredited four-year college. Two other organizations that play a role in the accreditation of nursing programs are the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Both of these organizations provide specialized accreditation for schools that offers degree, certificate and diploma programs in nursing.
Online Nursing Programs
Online programs are now available for just about every field of study or academic discipline, nursing is no exception. If you're a self starter and highly motivated, an online degree in nursing may be a good option to consider. However, nursing is a hands-on discipline that requires the development of skills and knowledge, some of which can only be obtained through hands-on, clinical experience. As such, most online nursing degrees require an element of campus-based study, research, and education. Online nursing programs allow you to complete your classroom courses online, but you'll still be required to complete lab work and clinical hours at a campus or nearby healthcare facility. Some of the requirements for these programs can be complete through correspondence, if you don't live near an actual college campus.
Online nursing programs are particularly useful for registered nurses who already have ample experience under their belt and simply want to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing. The RN to BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree program for registered nurses who already have an associate's degree is a perfect example. In most cases, a registered nurse can complete this entire degree program online, without ever stepping foot on a campus. If clinical work is required, it usually can be completed at their current job or at a nearby hospital or medical facility.
Graduate degrees in nursing are also growing in popularity. The Internet provides the perfect medium for practicing nurses to augment their knowledge, understanding and skill set in nursing (while earning a degree). There are several master's degree options in advanced practice nursing for RNs who want to specialize in a particular area of medicine or direct patient care, such as Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Executive, or even Nurse Anesthetist. Other graduate degrees in nursing include the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nursing Science (DNSc), which are also available online. However, some graduate degrees, especially those that focus on clinical skills, may require practicums or clinicals.
When considering online nursing programs, again, the first thing you'll want to look at is accreditation. Earning a degree on-campus or online from an unaccredited school can make it difficult to obtain a nursing license, pursue higher education opportunities down the road, or get a job in certain states.

Darci's StoryA slightly healthier spin on lasagna - chicken and spinach. And yes, of course I make my own sauce, which I think is key. I like to put a little cream in my red sauce recipe, but this time, I tried coconut milk. It was perfect. You could taste the sweetness and a very mild hint of coconut, but it added a nice flavor to the lasagna overall.
30 oz
canned diced tomatoes
2 small
can tomato paste
1 Tbsp
dried basil
1 Tbsp
dried oregano
1 Tbsp
dried parsley
1/2 c
coconut milk
1 tsp
onion powder or salt
1 tsp
garlic salt
1 pkg
no boil lasagna noodles
2-3 c
shredded cooked chicken
2 pkg
frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 c
ricotta cheese
2 c
freshly grated mozzarella cheese
Directions Step-By-Step
1In a large pan, add the tomatoes, paste, herbs, and coconut milk (if you don't want coconut milk, you can substitute with cream and a little sugar). Stir to combine and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2Meanwhile, squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Mix together the spinach, shredded chicken, the ricotta cheese and the eggs in a large bowl.
3When sauce is ready, take a 13x9 baking dish and spoon some sauce on the bottom. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles. Spread the ricotta mixture atop the noodles. Top with some sauce and a little mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with sauce and mozzaerlla cheese on top layer.
4Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove foil, bake 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Barbara Oseland BOseland - Feb 6, 2012
Oh my goodness! This looks wonderful. Is it possible to use 1% milk instead of cream or the coconut milk?
Darci Juris keepitinthekitchen - Feb 6, 2012
I don't see why not.
Barbara Oseland BOseland - Feb 6, 2012
also, sorry to keep asking stupid questions... but could I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta? I think some do interchange them for certain things like lasagna, spanakopita and spinach pies..
Christine Fernandez SuperMom77 - Feb 6, 2012
Christine Fernandez [SuperMom77] has shared this recipe with discussion group:
Kiss the Chef
Ed Mayfield manofpans - Feb 6, 2012
Cooked this for dinner tonight. First, was a bit confused by step one, in that you mentioned cream and sugar, neither which were in the ingredients...assume the cream was the coconut milk, not sure about the sugar. My store had no frozen spinach, so used fresh. Am still in favor of boiled lasagna over the oven ready variety. We enjoyed your dish and will have it again. Thanks for sharing.

Weber Shandwick, H+K Strategies Headed to Court
Weber Shandwick has been granted a temporary restraining order against H+K Strategies, the firm's COO Ken Luce, and its EVP Jody Venturoni. Weber filed court documents in Dallas alleging breach of contract by Luce and Venturoni and misappropriation of confidential info by the two execs and H+K.
Luce joined H+K about a year ago; Venturoni joined the firm last month. Both previously worked for Weber for more than a decade. There have been other moves from Weber to H+K in recent months as well, notes The Holmes Report. The court filing shows that Weber alerted Luce to an investigation in December 2011 and both he and H+K responded in writing.

(AP)-- A northern Pennsylvania man who fatally shot his ex-wife while she played the organ at a Sunday church service has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Fifty-three-year-old Gregory Eldred, of Coudersport, apologized Tuesday and told a Potter County judge he was acting "irrationally" at the time.
Eldred pleaded guilty last week to first-degree murder for shooting 53-year-old Darlene Sitler on Dec. 2 at the First United Presbyterian Church of Coudersport. The church is about 140 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Eldred was an elementary school music teacher, and Sitler taught music at the Northern Potter Children's School.
Parishioners and the pastor came to Sitler's aid, but no one else was hurt in the shooting. Eldred surrendered outside the church when police arrived.
