Hotel is very clean and staff were very friendly that all inclusive is not all inclusive it is minimal drinks available what I mean is even with local spirits you have to pay for cocktails even fresh orange juice as a mixer. The mattress are hard but you get use to them rooms are kept very clean every day pools are extremely cold compared to the sea which was warm the hotel is close to shops and a short walk to the beach about 10 min walk evening entertainment minimal shame really

Once I remove the outer wall, I plan on using the vac to collect the bees first then once they are not there to bother me, I was going to collect the comb. Do I then open the box with the bees in to put in the framed comb? Or put it into another box and hope they survive until I get them home and put the frames in when they are at the new site? Any other recommendations?
Given the lateness of the season, I would not want to lose brood. The house belongs to the customer's mother who has just gone into a nursing home and they are renting the house out so they need to remove the bees otherwise I would try to talk them out of moving them until spring.
Therefor I was hoping to reduce the numbers I had to battle with as much as possible.

Sure thing! You'll want to pull up your settings. Which you may access my tapping the gear icon, or depending on your device, selecting a menu button.
Where you'll find the clock and calendar will vary depending on the tablet, but browse around the settings and you're sure to find it. On this device, it was located under "More"

...purse! I am soooo clever! (I'll be honest...I am kind of cracking myself up.)
Seriously, have you ever seen anything cuter than this Kate Spade change purse???
Fab Find: Room Essentials PIllowcase

That is SO cute!!ReplyDelete
Love Kate! lol! Super cute and summery!ReplyDelete
Ok, so I don't know about this. I just don't know. Cause while I love pineapples, and witty blog remarks, I am unsure about this change purse. It really just kinda looks like something a crusty grandma keeps her smokes in.
This may, or may not be, because I may, or may not, have known a crusty grandma that kept her smokes in. (But may have is closer to the mark)....
Jane's comment made me laugh out loud!ReplyDelete
haha.. Love this title/post. Cute. And loving that little purse! :) but whoa on the 95 bucks! I drove past Sage yesterday and thought of you, girl! :) Have a great weekend! XOXO!ReplyDelete
Haha! Team Edward is Right!ReplyDelete

Clean Corporate This template have "regular" layout but underneath, it's packed with a lot of custom written jQuery code, for best user experience. Tooltips, image previews, tabs, slideshows everything built in.
I'm rushing through trying to finish my template so I can submit for review and hopefully enter the competition!
I've peeked at a few submissions so far, and feel also that the slideshow-on-home-page style is beginning to tire me. While these are beautiful themes and indeed popular, I'd like to think ThemeForest is trying to encourage us to design something which brings new design possibilities to the table.
When I noticed the details of this competition, I was already in the process of building a template and the "out of the box" theme gave me a new idea of how this template could be presented. While the original concept of my theme is not particularly unique, I've opted to present it in a rather unusual manner.
To be honest, I'm not sure what any of you will make of it, and whether it would be considered "out of the box" in terms of current design trends. But I'm rather proud of it (so far anyway) and it is indeed far different from anything I've attempted to design before or have seen created for the Blogger platform.
Perhaps, like me, many other potential entrants are feeling a little shy or concerned someone may try to mimic their concept. I certainly hope so, as I'm really looking forward to looking through some inspiring and unusual designs =]
Just to clarify, does the theme need to be submitted by the deadline, or approved? I'm going to be pushing it to finish on time and want to make sure I know exactly how much time I have remaining.
If I submit it before the deadline and it gets soft-rejected, how much time do I have to resubmit and still be in?
My entry: http://themeforest.net/item/galeria-single-page-wordpress-portfolio/105848
Both versions of this theme will enter the competition (I posted a link to the html version some weeks ago)
Like this HTML template, saw it a few weeks ago and it caught my eye.
Curious to how the theme leverages WP features? Like with adding more portfolio items or pages, does it add sections/anchors in the page, new pages in the nav, paginate? Or is it one page and just using the WP as CMS to manage it?

Thanks for the compliment.
The theme basically works like this: Each page created will be used as a Section of the theme and a menu item will be added. Each post belonging to a "X" category will be used as portfolio items.
Hope it clarifies your doubts. Cheers.
This has got interesting!
Read back through the posts and you'll see more than a few people brave enough to say that the reviewers are to blame for the lack of real creativity here on TF. As was said before, it takes a lot of time to make a nice theme, help file etc and if it just gets rejected then what's the point? It crushes/disinterests the more creative people among us.
If the reviewers were more open to something more 'out of the box' (creative) then this competition would never even need to take place.
Anyway, I'd like to see what the owners and reviewers think of our posts rather than open a thread then disappear again.
Sorry if I've angered anyone reading this but it's true. I know everyone here works real hard but if you are afraid to speak out then it will never change and that will be a shame to see such skilled guys shrivelled up making the same-ole-same-ole for blinkered reviewers. Look at other template sites, do they all use the same one-trick-pony? No.
Hope it clarifies your doubts. Cheers.
@ruderic Not a doubt at all… curiosity
If the reviewers were more open to something more 'out of the box' (creative) then this competition would never even need to take place.
not sure if it is fair to pin that on reviewers. Many/most of the "What's wrong with this theme" rejection threads really do need improvement and most/almost all have the same common structure. I would bet that if something out of the ordinary was submitted AND to the quality standards, it would get approved. I agree that there is a ton of work, but if the quality is there, then I don't think you have to worry. Sometimes it could be for things you don't see, usability, coding etc…
Another entry for me: http://themeforest.net/item/scrollfolio-out-of-the-box-portfolio-template/105663
I think this one is really "Out of the Box"
Our contribution to the contest: http://themeforest.net/item/genova-minimalistic-htmlcss-template/full_screen_preview/105424
We tried to find a way to keep the design as minimal as possible in order not the distract the visitor from the main content. Information on demand was the idea – visible especially in the blog post which looks pretty simple but has all the information you need.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/25/2005
Publication Date: 9/1/2005
Citation: Derner, J.D., Hart, R.H. 2005. Heifer performance under two stocking rates on fourwing saltbush-dominated rangeland. Rangeland Ecology and Management.58(5):489-494. Interpretive Summary: Use of rangeland dominated by fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens [Pursh] Nutt), a nutritious shrub, during the winter season may be an alternative for livestock producers instead of providing supplemental hay, energy and protein feedstuffs to their animals. This practice would also extend the grazing season and provide opportunities for additional animal gain via grazing, but there is a lack of information concerning stocking rates and animal gains. Yearling heifers had a greater gain per head per day with light compared to moderate stocking rates when grazing in late fall or early spring, but gain per unit land area was similar for both stocking rates. Land managers with rangeland containing fourwing saltbush should consider using these pastures during the late fall or early spring using light stocking rates to lengthen the grazing season with economic benefits resulting from lowered feed costs and adequate individual animal gains.
Technical Abstract: The efficiency of livestock production in shortgrass steppe may be increased by grazing fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens [Pursh] Nutt) -dominated rangeland in late fall and/or early spring, but there is a paucity of information concerning stocking rates and animal gains. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of light (5 yearling Hereford heifers) and moderate (8 heifers) stocking rates on weight gains of yearling heifers grazing replicated 16-ha pastures dominated by fourwing saltbush in a late-fall (November to mid January) from 1996 to 1998 and an early spring grazing period (April to mid May) from 1996 to 1999. Average daily gain (ADG, kg·hd-1·d-1) was 58% greater for light (0.65 ± 0.06, mean ± 1SE) compared to moderate (0.41 ± 0.05) stocking rates in the late fall grazing period, and 115% greater with light (0.59 ± 0.06) than moderate (0.27 ±0.07) stocking rates in the early spring grazing period. Beef production (kg gain·ha-1) did not differ, however, between stocking rates for either the late fall (16.4 ± 3.9 vs. 17.4 ± 4.5, light vs. moderate stocking rates) or early spring (9.6 ± 2.7 vs. 7.6 ± 4.8) grazing periods. We suggest that land managers employ light stocking rates in both the early spring and late fall grazing periods to obtain adequate individual animal gains without sacrificing gains per unit land area. Climatic events such as excessive snowfall and years with below-average precipitation will dampen animal performance, however. Lengthening of the grazing season in the shortgrass steppe should be economically desirable to land managers as feed costs could be lowered and animal gains obtained through minimal input.

Buying & Selling
How to Bid
Bidding with Wright is secure and simple. We offer various bidding methods for your convenience and make registration as easy as possible. Below you will find complete descriptions for each bidding method along with detailed instructions for submitting your bid request. If you have any further questions, we are available by email, phone or fax to assist.
There are five ways to participate at auction. Click on the bid type below for an explanation of the method and its benefits.
When bidding by phone, Wright will call you during the sale just before yourspecified lots are to be auctioned. This enables you to bid live, with the Wright phone representative acting as a liaison between you and the auctioneer. You will be bidding in real time, as if you were in the auction room itself. Because it is live, you do not have to reveal, or determine, your maximum bid until you are bidding.
Why phone bid? If you are unable to attend the auction, this method allows you to bid most competitively. You can go head-to-head with other floor or phone bidders, giving you the most control over your bidding activity.
Absentee bids — also referred to as left, order or commission bids — allow you to place a maximum bid amount on individual lots. During the sale, Wright will bid on your behalf up to that amount, making every attempt to secure the lot at the most competitive price.
Why absentee bid? Absentee bidding allows you to participate in the auction even if you are unavailable on the day of sale.
Phone and Absentee
You can arrange for a combination of both phone and absentee bidding, giving you flexibility and security in executing your bids.
Wright will first try to reach you via phone, calling all numbers on your registration form. If we successfully reach you, you will bid live with the Wright representative; your live, phone bid will override the maximum bid.
If we are unable to reach you, we will execute your maximum bid on your behalf as we would a traditional absentee bid.
Why bid with a combination phone/absentee bid? This method gives you peace of mind that your bid will be executed, whether you are available or not. Busy schedules or unforeseen plans may make it difficult to reach you; if this occurs, a combination allows you to still participate in the auction with your absentee bid.
You can come to the live auction on the day of sale: it is free and open to everyone. Registration takes a matter of minutes and all you need is photo identification and a credit card. You will receive a paddle and can then bid on any lot in the sale by simply raising your paddle when the lot opens. Auctions take place at our gallery at 1440 West Hubbard, (one block south of Grand and two blocks east of Ashland) in Chicago.
Why bid live? Being at the auction also gives you the most control in bidding and the most knowledge about any competitors.
Online and Mobile
With the Wright iOS app you can submit bids in advance of an auction or bid live in real time during the sale. Manage your bids, track lots and follow along from anywhere using your mobile device!
In addition, Wright auctions are posted to third party sites such as Live Auctioneers and Artsy so you may participate in live, online bidding from your computer. These sites will administer registration, process and execute all bids; your bids will be electronically transferred to Wright during the sale.
Why bid mobile or online? Mobile and online bidding allows you to follow the auction in real time and to bid live at your discretion during the sale or to submit absentee bids in advance.
How to Register
All phone and absentee bidders must register prior to the day of the sale; bidders who choose to bid live in the auction room can register on the day of the auction in a matter of minutes. Floor bidders may arrive up to two hours before the start of the auction or any time prior to the auctioning of the first lot on which they wish to bid.
All bidders who register will need to provide:
- Complete contact information
All bidders who register to bid by phone or absentee must also provide a completed Bid Form with:
- A list of the lots on which you wish to bid
- The bidding method specified for each lot
- Day of sale phone numbers and/or maximum absentee bid amounts
Bid Form
To register for phone or absentee bidding, you must begin with a bid form. You can use our secure online form to submit your billing and bid information; all details will be transmitted confidentially directly to our bid department. Alternatively, a blank bid form can be found in your catalog or you may download one here. Simply complete the form and fax it to the Wright Bid Department at 312.235.4182.
When completing the bid form, for each lot you may indicate the method by which you would like to bid: phone or absentee or with a phone/absentee combination. Be sure to include Day of Sale Phone numbers for phone bidding and maximum bids for absentee bidding.
Instructions for Bid Form Creation
When completing the bid form for phone, absentee or a combination of both, there are some important details to include on the bid form.
For Phone bidding, select the 'phone bid' box for each lot you wish to bid by phone and Wright will call you to bid on the day of the sale. Additionally, you will need to provide at least one Day of Sale Telephone Number on which you will be reachable the day of the auction for bidding. We encourage you to leave more than one, as the auction is a live event and we would want to be sure to reach you.
For Absentee bidding, enter your maximum bid amount (not including buyer's premium) for each lot you wish to bid absentee and Wright will competitively execute your bid for you. All absentee bids must be on increment with Wright's specified increments:
|* additional increments will be at the discretion of the auctioneer.
If a bid is placed off increment, the bid will be rounded down to the nearest on-increment dollar amount. If two identical absentee bids are registered by different bidders, the bid received earliest will prevail.
For Combination phone/absentee bidding, include your Day of Sale Telephone Number as well as a maximum bid amount (not including buyer's premium) for each lot you wish to bid Phone/Absentee. We will call you for bidding on each lot you specify for phone bidding on the day of the sale. If Wright reaches you by telephone for bidding, your absentee bid will be void and you will bid live with the bidding representative; if we do not reach you, we will execute your absentee bid on your behalf.
After your phone or absentee bid form has been electronically submitted or faxed, Wright Bid Department will send confirmation that your bids have been received. This is your opportunity to review all critical bid information to ensure it is correct; this will also serve as the official bid form for your records. This step is quick and easy, though very important, so review the bid information thoroughly.
You will be able to quickly and easily view results on our website on the evening of the sale. Additionally, if you are the successful bidder you will be emailed an invoice that includes all the information you need to make payment and begin the shipping process.

1995 325 vert window regulator question
ok so my motor died... I took the regulator out today. have two pieces... no clue where they go or what they do.. here they are, someone help me out:
where do they go?
nobody knows where these pieces go? Man, I am used to mustang forums where there are always 15 people who know everything about the cars they drive. I just got this car last week or I also would know everything there is to know about taking it apart and putting it back together.
I don't have a cabrio, but I've been in lots of BMW doors working on regulators and window motors and neither one of those pieces look at all familiar. Where were they? Laying in the bottom of the door?
Sent from my MB860 using Bimmer App
the one on the left with the plastic piece attached to it fell out from the middle of the window when I unbolted one of the regulator bolts. The regulator obviously had been out before because there were no rivots. I have looked at an exploded view of the regulator setup and cant find either of those pieces in there. I am thinking that maybe the round one is a metal bushing. from what i understand, there is either a metal or plastic bushing that determines how the teeth on the reg meet up with the motor gear.
like I said, I am new to this car, and havent really had a chance to tear it up yet.
so you are saying then that neither of those pieces are needed as far as you know? I am pretty sure that the front regulator assembly is the same on all e36 models. I know the backs are very different on the verts.
ok so the piece on the right attaches to the outside (facing interior of car) side of the regulator very close to where the teeth are on the regulator, very close to where the bottom corner of the motor assembly is.. the "square" side of the motor assembly bottom corner. Still no idea what it does or if it is related to the other piece. Nobody knows?
I figured it out myself. It amazes me that nobody on this forum seems to know that much about the cars they own. I am used to mustang forums where there are many people on there (including myself) who know where every nut , bolt, and gasket go, and how to put them there.
Very disappointed with you guys.
Well, excuse us. I'd say that those pieces being loose are a very rare occurrence, thus no one here knew what to make of them. I'm glad you got it figured out, and maybe you can help someone else if that problem shows up again on the forum.

Since the OP didn't bother to post the solution that he figured out all by himself (which might actually help somebody who stumbles upon this thread in the future), here it is.
The parts in question are the stop for the big "gear arm" on the regulator, and the bolt that holds it in from the other side. Here's how it looks from the front and back of the driver's door regulator on my '96 vert:

The SW insider was a short story KT wrote she approved the art, then the toy was made that came with the RC pack. That was grey also, would have been kal, but she said he looked to young. Then I started my build with Her help. she helped me with look and parts. And when I was done she said " that is how I envisioned him" so I guess when the lady who created the character tells you that, and helped along he way. It is how ot should look. + every lfl approved image since the SW insider mag used me as the reference, it is safe to say that I got it right.
First Post Updated with My ref info. Also here is the back pack build pics
Very sharp, vod.
Is it possible that the back pack could have been a republic commado pack? It looks very close to that
that... is so cool!
Wow, it's nice to see Kal'buir "in the flesh"! Great job!

It's all about you, Sage
Sage leads the parade held in her hon[auth] or, from the sidecar of Patriot Guard co-captain Mike Murphy's motorcycle, Saturday. (Mark Wilson Photo)
In honor of Sage, local canine war hero, the city of Roswell celebrated Sage Day Saturday alongside a fundraiser for the Sage Foundation for Dogs Who Serve.
"I always tell her that it's not always about her,†Diane Whetsel, Sage's human companion, said. "But today, I had to tell her 'it's all about you.' She's happy. She loves people. This was fun for her.â€
Sage's exploits are numerous and worthy of praise. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she worked at the Pentagon. During the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, she served disasters in the Gulf Coast. She has also been on a few tours in Iraq.
"She is not a huge dog or police dog, but she has seen and been in more horrifying places [than most people] and handled it so well,†Whetsel said. "[She has been] that soft fur to cry into if a soldier needed to or— just to snuggle with.â€
Sage Day began with a proclamation ceremony at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, where Mayor Del Jurney declared Feb. 26 as Sage Day. Soon after the ceremony, the Patriot Guard Riders and Las Lunas, Las Vegas, N.M., Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, and Reservation police departments led a parade down Second Street that ended at Harley Davidson Champion Motorsports.
"I've never seen any city or community come out for one little dog like this,†Whetsel said. "This is amazing — it's awesome.â€
Whetsel hopes the Sage Foundation's fundraising dollars will be able to help many canines that have been national and public servants.
"This is a national thing,†she said. "We want to help all of our dogs — our military working dogs, our police dogs, our search and rescue dogs, our FEMA dogs. We want to help out our departments, we want to help out all of these dogs.â€
Whetsel said that it's important for these dogs to be cared for after their service.
"We don't want them to end up in a kennel somewhere at the end of their career,†she said. "We want them to have the best life that they can have. They deserve the best medical care — they deserve the best retirement. Just because of budgets … departments don't have the money sometimes to do the best for the dogs.â€
Saturday's festivities ended with a canine demonstration and raffle at Champion Motorsports and a Fun Run at the Elks Lodge No. 969, where door prizes, totalling $1,200 worth of donated items, were given away.
The Sage Foundation for Dogs Who Serve raised more $6,600 on Saturday for injured and retired dogs. According to MaryAnn Murphy, organizer for Saturday's festivities, Sage Day will be an annual event in Roswell for years to come.
"Dogs are God's gifts to humans and they bring out the best in us,†Murphy said.
"Every time I see Sage, I just fall more in love with her. These dogs do such a service. They go places where people can't, sometimes. They pay the price.†For information on how to donate to the Sage Foundation for Dogs Who Serve, visit sagefoundationfordogs.org.

One Response to It's all about you, Sage
Thank you all for your support of this wonderful dog and our efforts to provide for all of our nations hero dogs the finest vet care and retirements available.
It is an assumption by most people that these dogs owned by our police Depts, corrections Depts and military are always taken care of when they become injured, ill ot too old to work. The fact is, these dogs are considered property to most of the Departments and are subject to the same budget restraints that we are seeing across the country. If they become injured or sick, many times their treatment is determined by what the busniss office has in their budget. Many times there just are not the funds to pay for expensive treatment options and the dogs suffer. Sometimes, they may even be put to sleep due to cost issues. We at the Sage Foundation For dogs Who Serve are trying to change this one dog at a time.
Thanks again to all that came out to support our efforts!
A special thanks to Champion Motor Sports and Lauren Allison with her wonderful staff for selling t-shirts,tickets, wristbands and hosting the event, MaryAnn for all of her work. Board members Kathy O'Dette, JoAnn Heiss for their commitment to the foundation. Sally Pritti who sold the most tickets!
Thank you to the Patriot Ruard Riders for escorting our little hero dog through town! You were all just the best!
Diane and Sage

Gehm joins CHF Inds. to lead bed, bath expansion
July 9, 2001,
New York — Long-time industry veteran Bob Gehm has joined CHF Industries, where he will head up the rapidly expanding bed and bath operations at a once-troubled company which had virtually been written off, but which has since completed a remarkable turnaround, boosting sales sharply and returning to profitability.
Gehm joins CHF this week as executive vice president of bed and bath, a newly created position. He will also serve on the company's four-person executive committee, along with ceo Frank Foley; Joan Karron, executive vp; and Richard Reeves, executive vp, operations.
Earlier, Gehm had built up a solid reputation as a highly respected sales executive at textiles giant WestPoint Stevens, where he had worked for 15 years. When Gehm left WestPoint in January 2000, he held down the post of president of sales, and had earlier been president of the mass brands division, heading up all sales and marketing to the nation's mass merchants and the largest U.S. supplier of sheets and towels.
While CHF is still largely known as a curtain company, its bed and bath operations have grown substantially during a turnaround engineered by the husband and wife team of Frank Foley, and Joan Karron. The appointment of Gehm to head up the business underlines the company's commitment to bed and bath and signals a major push to further diversify the company from its traditional base in window coverings.

The update, which will eventually come via OTA , is Android 2.3.6 with a baseband of SPD710.10.S.EK02, and a build number of GINGERBREAD.EK02. According to the source who is testing the patch, the official release could be disseminated some time next month if it gets the thumbs up from Samsung after testing. He was able to receive the update by sending email bombs to Samsung executives which resulted in a phone call with Bob Johnson. The latter is the manufacturer's top gun at customer service. In the meanwhile, the developer community is trying to speed up the repair by working on ways to filter out the OTA files so they can be used to kill the bugs dead before waiting around for Samsung's fix.
No matter who gets the repair out first, hopefully it will be soon so that owners of the device won't have to concern themselves with losing a signal and not being able to have it return in a timely manner. After all, the Epic 4G Touch is too much of a beast to have it rest like a brick in your pocket.

And now, another episode in Democrat congressmen throwing tantrums…
posted at 10:10 am on October 21, 2009 by MadisonConservative
It's my way! My way or the highway!
Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren't present.
Towns' action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns's failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage's reported sweetheart deals to VIPs.
Hm. Well, maybe the Democrats just didn't want to waste time on something they thought was frivolous.
For months Towns has refused Republican requests to subpoena records in the case. Last Thursday Committee Republicans, led by Issa, were poised to force an open vote on the subpoenas at a Committee mark-up meeting. The mark-up was abruptly canceled. Only Republicans showed up while Democrats chairs remained empty.
Republicans charged that Towns canceled the meeting to avoid the subpoena vote. Democrats first claimed the mark-up was canceled due to a conflict with the Financial Services Committee. Later they said it was abandoned after a disagreement among Democratic members on whether to subpoena records on the mortgage industry's political contributions to Republicans.
So…wait. First, they lied about why they refused to keep house in their own ranks, then they tried to avoid it altogether by bringing up how much money the Republicans have gotten from the mortgage industry? Do you really want to go down that road?
Still, though…Republicans must have been incredibly abusive towards the Democrats to get the doors locked on them. I mean…right?
A GOP committee staffer captured video of Democrats leaving their separate meeting in private chambers after the mark-up was supposed to have begun. He spliced the video to other footage of the Democrats' empty chairs at the hearing room, set it to the tune of "Hit the Road, Jack" and posted it on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's minority webpage, where it remained as of press time.
Towns's staffers told Republicans they were not happy about the presence of the video camera in the hearing room when they were not present. Issa's spokesman said the Democrats readily acknowledged to Republicans that they changed the locks in retaliation to the videotape of the Democrats' absence from the business meeting even though committee rules allow meetings to be taped.
…so, um…they were videotaping the fact that the Democrats weren't there. Now, I could easily understand if the Democrats don't like being videotaped saying stupid crap, especially since Joe Biden refuses to read the memo on that point. However, the Democrats are pissed off that they're taping empty chairs. I guess the implication that they're not being the bipartisan saints they portray themselves to be bothers them a tad. Well, let's just hope they don't make a habit out of this, or anything.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: 400 Expected to Die in Car Crashes This Weekend, Same as in 1959
Nearly 400 people are expected to die in car crashes across the U.S, the NTSB says. That's the same number that were expected to die in 1959, according to this illuminating clip from the WNYC archives. Which means overall that drivers are much safer, since at least two trillion more miles are driven now than in 1970, the first year statistics were kept.
"I've seen cars that have seat belts and I've ridden in some," says one questioner to radio host Jay Nelson Tuck, "but I know that most people don't bother to use them when they have them."
"We're faced with a similar problem here that we are facing up to today in the administration of the salt vaccine for poliomyelitis," Tuck responds.
"This disease on the highways is a national disgrace," Tuck adds.

Can you believe it? Two SRC blog posts in one month?!? When Jane of Heritage Cooks contacted me a few days ago about helping out an orphaned blog I jumped at the chance. After all, I would have to be crazy to turn down being introduced to another great food blog full of great ideas. I went right on over to check out Cookin With Chopin and was quickly blown away by the A-MAZING photography and the incredibly delicious recipes jumping out all over the place. After visiting Germany in my other SRC post I decided to keep with the international theme and see where my stomach would land. It didn't take me long at all to stumble across the perfect recipe for my Tex-Mex loving household: Chilaquiles! Many moons ago when I was in college there was an amazing Mexican restaurant down the street that served up this delicious casserole and after deciding to be adventurous one night and not getting the Enchiladas Verde I was hooked. From the melted cheese to the crunch of the chips to the perfect salsa blended with whatever protein your heart desires this meal is just right. Plus it comes together in no time at all and I have a feeling it would also be right at home in the slow cooker, altho some crunch might be lost with that. I did make some changes, but nothing huge. Switched the chicken for a mixture of black and pinto beans and also added some jalapenos to the salsa in order to give it more of a kick.
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 28-ounce can of diced Rotel Tomatoes
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
Approx. half a 14-ounce bag of tortilla chips
1 cup black beans, presoaked and drained
1 cup pinto beans, presoaked and drained
2 cups grated Colby-Jack cheese
Sour cream
- In a stock pot, saute onion, jalapeno, green pepper, and garlic in olive oil until tender (about 6-7 minutes). Add tomatoes, pepper, oregano, and salt to taste. Bring to boil, turn down heat, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
- In a 9 x 9" baking dish, layer half the chips, all of the beans, half the onion/pepper/tomato sauce, and half the cheese. Continue with the other half of chips, sauce, and finish with the cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly around the edges. Top each serving with sour cream and fresh avocado.
Needless to say this recipe was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! I plan on giving it a try with the salsa verde and maybe upping the heat with serrano peppers instead of the jalapenos. So a big thanks to Ginny for sharing this recipe and bringing back some great college memories in the process!

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'DAR' category.
The genealogy and historical trend on Twitter is amazing. There is just about every historical genre on Twitter and more every day. You have different eras and interest to choose from, like it's it own Twitter. Twitter has helped me connect to people who are researching the same areas as me and even helped me find a few lost ancestors.
My current favorite is PatriotCast on Twitter. To sum it up from them, "PatriotCast is a historical online reenactment of the American Revolution. For eight years it will give a day by day account of the War." PatriotCast will reenact the Revolution with multiple tweets every day between 2010 and 2017 (2010 being 1775). Now that's a long term project.
Getting the tweets everyday is like a news wire to the past. It gives me a deeper appreciation and a better understanding for history.
Follow them:
- PatriotCast on Twitter
- PatriotCast on Facebook
- PatriotCast Blog (this is a companion to the Twitter feed, the really good stuff is on Twitter)
This is a new blog for our chapter to share research, history, genealogy tips and what not. It won't be about chapter news and business, as that is what the chapter website is for.
I hope to have one posting a week and the first posts will be mostly about history trends and genealogy tips – until we get chapter members contributing. Please send me any insights or ideas for articles.

A ROLE model from Chesham Bois who never stopped caring for her family and doing charitable work has died aged 89.
Daphne Lowell Kilgour was a nurse, soldier, and a society hostess. She was born as Daphne Tully on January 16, 1923 in Otterburn, Northumberland, and lived with her five older siblings on a farm owned by her father, Walter Tully.
She lived the last 29 years in her home in Amersham Road.
After leaving school, she trained in Newcastle to be a nurse and completed her midwifery in London at Guy's Hospital. She joined the Army and met her husband John Kilgour while she was working in Westminster Hospital in 1950.
Her son, Dr Simon Kilgour, said: "The first night they went out, she broke her shoe so my father had to help her. This cemented their relationship."
The two married at the Brompton Oratory on October 24, 1955.
They had two sons, Alastair, born in 1956 and Simon, born in 1958. They both attended Westminster School and Simon qualified as a doctor, whereas Alastair chose a career in banking. Simon had been his mother's prime carer for the past five years.
When her husband became a director in the World Health Organisation, she organised diplomatic parties and dinners. She organised many parties in Geneva, Switzerland and the Far East.
Her husband was well known for his role in eradicating smallpox but he died due to a heart attack in September 2008.
Dr Kilgour added: "Compassionate and kind to those she knew well, throughout her life she exhibited a probity and humility rarely seen in those international circles while supporting her husband and sons in their endeavours.
"There is still a shortage of female role models and she was a great one. She brought up a happy family and used the discipline that she learned from the Army."
Mrs Kilgour died on December 17 of a stroke after a year of being bedbound.

Women's basketball recap: Rams fall to Aztecs
Jan. 13, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
By Keeley Brown
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—The Colorado State's comeback bid fell short in the final seconds at Moby Arena Sunday. San Diego State defeated the Rams 48-44.
CSU (4-10, 0-1 MW) started off the game slowly, not making a basket until senior Meghan Heimstra made a lay-up with 10:21 left on the clock in the first half, with SDSU (10-5, 1-1 MW) already having 17 points on the board. After Heimstra's starting points, the Rams picked up their pace and went into half-time down 16-30.
Colorado State came out with energy in the second half of the game. Junior Alicia Nichols brought the Rams within four points of SDSU making a clutch three-pointer with 8:32 left in the game. The Aztecs and the Rams fought back and forth until the end, unable to grasp the win.
The Rams had their lowest field-goal attempts of the season with only 42 attempts.
Junior Hayley Thompson scored a season high eight points while only playing 17 minutes of the game. Thompson also tallied six rebounds and one assist.
"Hayley came in and played with some poise," Head Coach Ryun Williams commented. "She made some big shots and she played with some toughness that kind of relaxed us. Hayley is a good rebounder. She plays 17 minutes and gets six D boards; we have kids who played more minutes and didn't get half that. She's just a really intelligent, good player. I'm really pleased with how she played. If we can get her shooting the ball that consistently, she gives us that big pop kid that can be a tough matchup."
Freshman Caitlin Duffy was the team's leading scorer with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block. Heimstra finished the game with eight points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.
SDSU out-rebounded Colorado State offensively 20 rebounds to nine. The Aztecs turned those 20 offensive boards into 12 points.
Colorado State's defense held SDSU's high-scorer Courtney Clements to just five points. The Rams held San Diego State to a season low scoring as a team.
"Defensively, I thought we were solid. We kept them off-balanced. (Courtney) Clements, we had her contained a little bit. (Chelsea) Hopkins had to earn her points," Williams said. "We made life difficult. We had it right where we needed to be, but to beat a good team you have to make good plays throughout the entire game."
Nichols scored five points, with three rebounds and one steal. Junior Sam Martin totaled six points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one assist. Sophomore Kara Spotton recorded seven points, four rebounds, and a steal.
Colorado State had 17 turnovers throughout the game. Off of the Rams turnovers SDSU was able to score 16 points, while CSU was unable to score any.
This was the first game CSU has lost where the opponent scored less than 50 points.
"Our coaches put in a pretty good game plan against them," Heimstra commented. "We put in some new defenses, kind of mixed it up. We focused on their two best players. We didn't want them to score 20 points or something crazy like that. It really slowed them down. By stopping them, I think it helped us a lot."
The Rams will continue conference play as they head to Colorado Springs to take on Air Force Wednesday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. MT.

Weight loss has time and again been a nightmare haunting us and taking over our lifestyles. Ask an obese and he or she will tell you the torments and horror that they experience as they try to gain shape. The numerous visits to the local physician and nutritionist. The workout sessions that they dread going to. Lets not even talk about the money spent in purchasing those weight loss drugs.
But many a times we tend to have the wrong information about weight loss. If you thought enrolling at your local gym and drafting a low-carb diet plan will do it, you are in for a shock. Weight loss as a matter of fact is a complex endocrine process that involves various systems of the body. Even your brain plays a role in your weight loss.
- Body metabolism
Metabolism is a complex series of reactions that occur in the liver. It involves the breakdown of glucose and carbohydrates to produce energy needed for the normal running of the body.
When you withdraw the intake of carbs in your body, your lower the blood sugar level. This will stimulate the pancreas to lower the production of insulin hormone and increase the production of glucagon, adrenaline and other hormones to regulate the blood sugar level.
Glucagon synthesizes the body to convert the stored fats as glycogen in the body to mobile fats and glucose that is taken to the liver and other muscles. This is known as glycogenolysis.
Another process is ketosis. The increased production of glucagon stimulates the adipose tissue to release fine fatty acids. These fatty acids are absorbed the liver and converted into ketone bodies. Now the ketone bodies and fatty acids produce energy for the body tissues like the brain and red blood cells.
All this processes use up the stored fats in the body which result in the lose of body weight.
- Insulin
The body in general is maintained by a homeostatic process that seeks to ensure the body is functioning even in change of environment or other external factors.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is responsible for regulating the blood sugar level. When the level of sugar is high in the blood it is produced in high amounts and vice versa when the blood sugar level is low.
What insulin does is to 'instruct' the leptin hormone to increase fat storage cells when the sugar level is more. This way, it stimulates the production of fats (lipogenesis) in the body and inhibits the burning of it ( lipolysis) since it makes it inaccessible by the body for use.
It can be controlled by taking low carb diets to reduce the level of insulin in the body.
- Leptin
Talk of weight loss, then leptin should be the hormone coming into mind. It is normally referred to as the 'starvation' or 'master' hormone for its huge role in the body.
Leptin hormone is secreted by the fat cells in the body. It sends signals to the brain telling it if there is more or less fat in the body.
When there is a lot of carbs intake in the body it results in accumulation of fats cells in the body. This in turn results in increase production of leptin hormone. It sends message to the hypothalamus 'telling' there is more fat in the body. This way, the hypothalamus will signal and induce the necessary mechanisms to reduce the amount of carbs intake and increase energy expedition. When there is low accumulation of fats, the leptin sends word to the brain to increase carbs intake and reduce energy expedition.
People suffering from obesity have leptin resistance, which is a faulty one. The brain fails to recognize the increased amount of leptin and does the opposite, assumes the body is in starvation mode hence increasing carbs intake. This is why obese people find it hard losing weight. They have increased appetite yet they are trying to lose weight.
- Thyroid
Thyroid is another hormone that plays a part in weight gain/loss. It is produced by the thyroid glands. Thyroid is responsible for regulating the body metabolism. The body metabolism in turn plays a role in weight loss.
Low thyroid levels in the body (hypothyroidism) are associated with low metabolic rate in the body. This means that you tend to gain weight if your thyroid levels are low since the body is expelling energy at a very low rate. Also accumulation of salts and water in the body since they are not being expelled may also contribute to those few weights gained
High thyroid levels are associated with a higher metabolic rate. This results in high intake of calories to much the high metabolic rate. If one now fails to much the calories requirement needed by the body, he or she may shed some weight. However, this may have come with some negative consequences like use of the lean muscles due to the overactive metabolic rate.
- Low-carb diet
This is another factor that one puts into consideration when studying about weight loss. But the deprival of calories to the body is of what significance?
Carbohydrates and sugars are responsible for accumulation of fat in the body. Since they are in excess and not all is being used up by the body they get stored around body organs and tissues. This way they pose a threat to the functioning of the organs and slow their working rate, which in turn has other adverse negative effects.
Low-carb diet lowers the insulin level in the blood. It will send the body into a starvation mode, and in need of more glucose to satisfy the demand. Glucagon hormone will facilitate conversion of this glycogen into mobile glucose and make it accessible by the body
Low insulin will also trigger the kidney to shed of the excess sodium and water, resulting in shedding of some pounds.
Weight loss is accumulative process that incorporates a lot of biochemical and physical understanding of your body. You will soon discover that the diet alone may not be the silver bullet that can take down weight gain. After all, to win, you have to lose.
- HCG Diet
One of the controversial diets that has been claimed by many that it works!. In fact, there are many successful weight loss journeys available on the internet by the people who consumed the real hcg drops for losing weight. There many websites that sell hcg drops but its difficult to choose one which works but we came across one such website which writes hcg drops reviews by taking out surveys from real users.Also,Some doctors say its a scam but why would the people say? Thats far confusing to decide. Its upto you to choose what kind of diet would you like to go with for your weight loss goals.

NEW GC8000 Process Gas Chromatograph
Product Announcement from Yokogawa Corporation of America
The GC8000 also brings a number of important innovations in its gas chromatograph analytical capabilities. For the first time, parallel chromatography is made practical with the introduction of the GC Module (GCM) concept. By setting up virtual GCs within a single analyzer, all chromatograph settings, displays, and data are truly segregated for easy understanding and maintenance. There are even built-in graphical overview screens showing each of the individual GC Modules.
The GC8000 has a built-in 12-inch color touchscreen display that dramatically simplifies maintenance. At the touch of the screen, the technician can access all of the analytical parameters and measurement results; displayed in easy-to-understand graphical color screens.
The GC8000 uses the same proven analytical hardware found in our previous model of GC; recognized for its reliable and precise performance. But with the GC8000, the analytical possibilities are greatly expanded through the multiple oven capability of the analyzer.
The communications network of the GC8000 is based on the industry standard Ethernet structure to provide flexible yet secure transmission of data to GC maintenance workstations and the plant DCS system. The GC8000 can be set up for either a single Ethernet network or a redundant network with two completely isolated Ethernet networks if desired.
For More Information Check out our GC8000 MicroSite or to Check out the Control Product Exclusive
* Standard Oven (5 valves and 2 detectors max.)

Be A Gentleman
What It Takes To Be A Gentleman In 2013
And while I'm on the subject, here are a few other things that being a gentleman means, according to a random polling of people I know between the ages of 25-65, because my opinion isn't the only one that matters:
"Being a good listener. As in letting people speak and complete their thoughts without interrupting them to inject your own ideas. Very hard to do."
"A gentleman always introduces you to the people he's talking to. Makes sure the thermostat is to your liking, not his. Compliments you. Yes, opens car doors. Offers for you to try his food and lets you eat his if you like it better than what you ordered. Makes sure you have a drink, even if he's not drinking and doesn't judge you for it. Finds you a cigarette if you'd like one and are out. Takes care of you instead of creating space when you're sick. A gentleman knows how to open a beer with a lighter and a wine bottle with a shoe. Always has cash for parking. A gentleman never drinks the last Coca-Cola. Spits in the street not the sidewalk. Kind to other people's dogs and babies. Points out something nice about an annoying friend. A gentleman doesn't ask how many people you've slept with and, frankly, shouldn't care."
"A gentleman never belittles, is never condescending in private or in public. A gentleman does allow his partner to get the bill at times. And, yes, he should always open the door."
Being a gentleman is an art form, a way of life, a modus operandi that is inclusive and attainable and never elitist, regardless of one's income or job title or sexual orientation. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that being a gentleman is to always let a lady go first, but to also let her take charge if she wants to.
And, oh, yeah, don't forget to open the door.

Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - The Thai Democrat Party will not waver in its resistance to a sweeping pardon for political protesters even if it has to go it alone, the party leader said yesterday.
"I don't think, however, that the Democrats will be isolated or kept out of the ongoing talks on amnesty," Abhisit Vejjajiva said.
Last week's secret meeting on amnesty strategy arranged by Deputy House Speaker Charoen Chankomol was not intended as a snub against the party, he said.
The main opposition party's own amnesty proposal was very clear and consistent - leniency should be reserved for violators of the emergency decree, he said. Those rally organisers involved in instigating arson attacks, violence, firings at crowds and the killing of people, as well as graft, should not be covered, he said.
The Democrats want the government to explain whether its proposal for a pardon was a pretext to rescue former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra from his self-imposed exile abroad, he said.
If the government is sincere about clemency only for political protesters, then it should demonstrate this by abandoning the four bills on amnesty and reconciliation that were designed to save Thaksin, he said.
The amnesty bill should contain clear, simple and straightforward provisions on protesters and not cover rally organisers, he said.
The call to set up a panel to review which organisers were entitled to mercy would lead to arbitrary decisions, he added.

First of all, this is my first blog post on this site as I'm new here, so for anyone reading this thanks for giving me a chance! I guess the zine experience is really all about finding out about different philosophies and/or opinions on a huge range of subjects, which really is what makes them generally quite personal, but I understand that there are a lot of zines and related blogs out there so thanks for taking the time to read what I have to say…Continue

Where to Shop Now: Memphis' South Main Street
Can't find boutiques on Beale? Check out these timeless and trendy shops just a few blocks away.
Muse Inspired Fashion
After searching for the right venue, Memphis native Lisa Doss found a home for her eclectic boutique nine years ago. Lisa stays away from carrying basics—no simple shift dresses here—and instead focuses on pieces such as embroidered Old Gringo Boots, artisan necklaces (below), and other out-of-the-ordinary clothing for men and women. 546 South Main; museinspiredfashion.com
Shop Girl New York
Owner Tamara Sorman applies her 30 years of experience as a buyer for New York City shops to cherry-pick every item in her store. Choose from Elizabeth and James tees, Hunter wellies, and Nicole Miller party dresses. 119 South Main; shopgirlnewyork.com
This affordable gallery shop at the Memphis College of Art features juried work from students, faculty, and alumni. You'll find one-of-a-kind keepsakes (not shown) ranging from $1 recycled bottle cap magnets to handmade books and $1,500 fine-art paintings. 477 South Main; facebook.com/477store
Sir Samuel's
When South Main developer Cynthia Grawemeyer opened Sir Samuel's (named after her new grandson) in July, she wanted to recall the feel of the area in the 1920s. So she designed the boutique to look like a dress shop combined with a speakeasy. Cynthia stocks men's hipster sport coats and vintage neckties, alongside sophisticated dresses and embroidered Feltman Brothers baby outfits. 522 South Main; sirsamuels.com
Hoot + Louise
After a lifetime spent playing dress-up with her granny "Hoot" Louise's clothes, Anna Avant opened this charming boutique filled with vintage finds. "I like clothes that say something and are unique," she says. "Each piece should be like a work of art." 109 G.E. Patterson; hootandlouise.bigcartel.com
Run by Cynthia Grawemeyer's daughters, Sir Samuel's sister boutique stocks young women's clothes that are all under $100. It focuses on eco-conscious designers such as LTR and REUSE Jeans made from recycled fabric. 534 South Main; everleahs.com
Time for a Shopping Break?
Make a meal out of the $5 sides at South of Beale (SOB) choosing from gastropub fare such as duck fried rice topped with a sunny-side-up egg, bacon-maple Brussels sprouts, and Gouda mac and cheese. The drink menu is equally enticing (and affordable) with $8 martinis such as the Smoky Bleu—chilled vodka served in a glass rimmed with Laphroaig and topped with blue cheese-stuffed olives. 361 South Main; southofbeale.com

Pork and Cabbage Rolls RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1 1
I received this recipe from my mother-in-law and made some adjustments. Because I'm allergic to tomatoes. I cover the rolls with chicken broth. Either way, they're fabulous!
Recommended: Potluck-Ready Summer Slow Cooker Recipes
- 1 medium head cabbage (3 pounds)
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Golden Brown Sausage Links
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth or 2 cans (15 ounces each) seasoned tomato sauce
- Remove core from the cabbage. Place cabbage in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; boil until outer leaves loosen from head. Remove cabbage; set softened leaves aside. Return cabbage to boiling water to soften more leaves. Repeat until all leaves are softened. Remove tough center stalk from each leaf. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls. Coarsely chop enough of the remaining leaves to measure 8 cups. Place chopped cabbage in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook pork, sausage and onion until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain. Stir in rice. Place 1/2 cup meat mixture on each cabbage leaf. Fold in sides; starting at an unfolded edge, roll up leaf completely to enclose meat. Repeat with remaining meat and leaves.
- Place rolls, seam side down, in the baking dish. Sprinkle with pepper. Pour broth or tomato sauce over rolls. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Yield: 6 servings.

Honda 'Hot And Cold' Film Shows Cars Tested in Extreme Conditions
The new campaign video promotes the Civic model and the company's dedication to vehicle testing
Honda's latest campaign, 'Hot and Cold', promotes the car manufacturer's popular Civic model and its dedication to testing when producing new vehicles. The campaign shows that they go to really dramatic lengths in order to test their cars.
The pan-European, multi-channel campaign was developed as a collaboration between Honda Motor Europe and the agency Wieden + Kennedy London. It follows on from the recently released "Other Side of Honda" campaign, which introduced the company's Civic Type R Concept vehicle. The aim is to celebrate the Civic range and draw attention to Honda's unparalleled dedication to thorough testing.
The 'Hot and Cold' campaign is based on the idea that "there's testing, then there's Honda testing". It showcases what the manufacturer does when testing their vehicles, specifically the Civic model. At Honda's European manufacturing plant located in Swindon in the UK, cars are tested to the extreme in a specially controlled climate chamber where conditions range from -30 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius.
The campaign launches with a 30-second film directed by Johnny Hardstaff, supported by print and rich media ads. There is also an interactive version of the film due to be released, which will enable the user to take control by changing the temperature of the ad and watching how the environment changes as a result. You can check out the 'Hot and Cold' short film, which showcases the Honda Civic and its reliability in the extreme, below:

1.2 petabytes of storage would mean you could save every thought and image you ever had and not run out of space. Michael Thomas, an American inventor, has found a way to create a drive with that much capacity. As a refresher, one megabyte is 1,024 kilobytes, one gigabyte is 1,024 megabytes, a terabyte is 1,024 gigabytes, and a petabyte is 1,024 terabytes. What does this all add up to? Well, in other words, a single petabyte is 1,073,741,824 megabytes. A 1.2 petabyte drive, therefore, would be equivalent to 2097 Maxtor 500GB harddrives. That's a whole lotta harddrives.
Thomas has accomplished this impressive gain in capacity through non-contact optical spintronics. Current data storage methods are able to control the direction electrons spin around a molecule, but not the spin of the individual electrons. The electrons spin randomly, which works against the best electrical signal. Thomas is able to get the electrons spinning in the same direction. This change makes all the difference, apparently.
According to Thomas, controlling the direction of spin will allow for much smaller electronic devices. He is in discussions with manufacturers in Japan and expects to see prototypes in two or three years, with commercial products in four or five years at a cost in the range of $750.

The UK's fourth-biggest grocer Morrisons has suffered its worst underlying sales for at least seven years and parted company with its commercial director.
The supermarket, expanding rapidly in London, said it needed to communicate its fresh food offer in its store better and has replaced Richard Hodgson with veteran retailer Martyn Jones in the interim. It had poached Hodgson from rival Waitrose in 2010.
Dalton Philips, the chief executive since 2010, said: "We have made the changes today because we need to be stronger in communicating all our points of difference. We have been hiding our light under a bushel."
By this, he also means better promoting the fact that it has more butchers, bakers, fishmongers and cheesemongers in its shops than rivals. But like-for-like sales at Morrisons tumbled by 2.1% over the 13 weeks to October 28, which marks a deterioration on the previous six months and leaves it trailing the most recent figures from Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's.
Until this year, Morrisons had not suffered falling underlying sales since the autumn of 2005, when it was recovering from its troubled acquisition of Safeway in 2004. Philips partly blamed the fact that Morrisons has lost market share on it opening less space than its big rivals this year and the grocer only having a handful of convenience stores, which are benefiting from cash-strapped consumers limiting their weekly shop in big stores.
Morrisons has been criticised in the industry for alienating some core customers with its new "fresh format" stores, the latest of which opened in Camden today. But Philips said underlying sales were about 4% higher in these stores than surrounding Morrisons and customers loved the extended range of fruit, vegetables and meat, which will be introduced to 100 stores by the end of this financial year.
Morrisons only has seven M Local convenience stores but plans to open 70 of these smaller shops by the end of 2013, of which two thirds will be inside the M25.

Three Ways To Use CXi Data To Inform Customer Experience Improvement Efforts
Posted by Megan Burns on March 16, 2012
- 624 Recommendations
- 2 comments
In the two months since I published "The Customer Experience Index, 2012," the number of companies requesting a deeper look at the data has been quite high. Many have asked me to suggest ways to use the information that's available, so I thought I'd share the analyses I've found most interesting so far:
- Compare Customer Experience Index (CXi) respondents to your company's target customer profile. As part of the CXi survey, we collect a range of demographic data including age, gender, marital status, household income, employment status, parental status, and location. Clients find it helpful to see if differences between our scores and their internal data stem from the fact that we're surveying different populations. They're also using it to think through why scores on a given criteria are what they are — for example, if most respondents for a TV service provider have small kids, the firm's parental controls may have a bigger impact on the "meets needs" score than they would if most respondents had grown children.
- Segment your CXi scores based on key industry variables. In addition to basic demographics, we added several questions this year to help us classify respondents into categories that matter to certain industries like travel, health insurance, and investing. For example, investment firms with enough respondents can find out if high-net-worth individuals give them a better or worse score than those with less than $100,000 to invest. Many firms differentiate the experience based a customer's value to the firm, so this is a great way to confirm whether or not those strategies are paying off. Similarly, health insurance plans can see how scores differ among people with chronic medical conditions given that those folks tend to have more (and more complex) interactions with their plan than healthy people.
- Understand where the change in your score came from. Last week, I found that a particular client's score dropped 10 points on the "easy" question this year. When I looked more closely, I saw that wasn't because more people were having really bad experiences. In fact, the percentage of customers who gave the firm a 1 or a 2 on our five-point scale was exactly the same as it was in 2011. What changed was the percentage of customers who gave the company a 4 or a 5. The good news is that things probably haven't gotten dramatically worse. But it does suggest that consumers have a higher standard for excellence, so the company is going to have to go further to maintain high scores in the future.
Any company looking to do a deep dive into the CXi data should consider these cuts as part of that process. But I'm sure that there are more analyses out there that can yield interesting results. Have you done any? If so, tell us about them in the comments so that we can add to our collective knowledge about how to get the most from this powerful data set.

I don't know how widespread this practice really is, but given the current employment environment, it is good to be armed with knowledge about what to do. Be careful: if you are already employed and your company has as a social media "rules of engagement" policy.

I have a 2 year old Maytag Performa Refrigerator (Model Number MSD2651KES) and here is my story:
Recently the water in my water dispenser started to slow down a little bit. This normally means it is time to replace my water filter. I bought a new filter (whirlpool brand) and installed it. When I first used the water dispenser I got a horrible sound (kind of like a jack hammer/vibration) and little water flow (less than the old filter). I disconnected it and put the bypass cap on and everything worked great. I figured that I had a bad filter. I took back the Whirlpool filter and went to another store and bought a Maytag filter, but when I got home and installed this one the same thing happened. A friend recommended that I soak the new filter in water. I did this and it eliminated the noise, but the water flow is still bad. What should I do next? Thanks for any help you can offer
