Quick Clean-Up: Brendan's All-in-One Dustbin
We've had our eye on Brendan Ravenhill for awhile now. In fact, we showed you Brendan & Marjory's Minimal Space with a View House Tour earlier this year. We just caught a look at his new handsome and practical product design, Dustbin…
We're big fans of multi-purpose items and this garbage can certainly fits into the category. Not only is it a handsome trash, it also features a removable brush and dust pan, all made in the USA. We're thinking this would be perfect near a litter box or by a back door where autumn's leaves make their way into the house. Then again, it would really be a great can for any small space.
Check out all the details, and see the other cool designs, on Brendan Ravenhill's website.

Kelly Osbourne went after the hairdresser with whom her dad, Ozzy, allegedly had an affair ... with a vengeance.
As you can see, she posted, "Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights a blow out and a b*** job."
She went on to post her phone number.
Kelly also fired off at someone suggesting Ozzy is at fault too ... saying "my father is almost 70 ever hear of elder abuse?"
Don't mess with the Osbournes.

Continuing its preparation for the 2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Peugeot took both its 208 T16 Pikes Peak racecar and driver Sebastien Loeb to Mont Ventoux in southern France for some final testing.
The mountain allowed valuable data to be collected before the team heads to Colorado for the Race To The Clouds that takes place on 30th June.
Unfortunately, the French mountain is not as high as Pikes Peak, but its combination of turns was said to be an ideal venue for development and fine-tuning the powerful 875hp Peugeot.
After Loeb's first outing in the car, which we previously covered here at www.europeancarweb.com, the 208 T16 has continued to undergo development in the hands of test driver Grégory Guilvert. He has been put miles on the while Loeb took part in WRC Argentina and a Porsche Cup race, winning the rally in the process.
After driving the car in its new Red Bull colors on the mountain, Loeb commented that it was no less aggressive than the first time he drove it. "It's the same beast," he beamed after his first run. "Driving it on a real road is a very useful pointer because this is what awaits us at Pikes Peak. Its handling is extremely responsive but I'm still not quite able to place it as precisely as I would like. That's something we will need to work on a little more..."
The development will now continue in the US after the Peugeot has been flown out to Colorado at the end of May.

The MAX3237E consists of five line drivers, three line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15-kV ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). The device meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector. The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow operation from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply. This device operates at data signaling rates of 250 kbit/s in normal operating mode (MBAUD = GND) and 1Mbit/s when MBAUD = VCC. The driver output slew rate is a maximum of 30 V/µs.
The MAX3237E transmitters are disabled and the outputs are forced into high-impedance state when the device is in shutdown mode (SHDN = GND) and the supply current falls to less than 1 µA. Also, during shutdown, the onboard charge pump is disabled; V+ is lowered to VCC, and V– is raised toward GND. Receiver outputs also can be placed in the high-impedance state by setting enable (EN) high. ROUT1B remains active all the time, regardless of the EN and SHDN condition.
The MAX3237EC is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The MAX3237EI is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

I am not sure what the best feed would be, but I am curious. Em and I are thinkiing that we just may start raising animals again. Small scale, a meat kings, some RIR's, a turkey or two and maybe a couple piglets to start. It was enjoyable when we did and have been thinking with the price of meat these days, it might be an option for us to mitigate expenses. Cost is not really the main concern, but raising our own fowl etc., we knew what we were getting and none of the stuff the commercial producers feed and there was less fat on them.
After trying to raise animals and not having everything to feed them. I realized I could not make money. However I really enjoyed it and Knew the quality of the meat I was eating. If money is not an option, you can produce food with far better quality then you can buy in any store.
The problem is feeding the animals. Feed has a cost which is expensive. It is cheaper for large farms doing mass production to feed and raise an animal then a person trying to raise a handfull. I tried pigs, if I cut out commercial feed and used day old baked goods, corn and vegetables. I could not acheive the weight gain to make it worth while. It sure tasted better, but cost twice as much as store bought. I raised steers for a few years. I grow my own hay, so that was cheaper then buying it. But you have to have the equipment and all the costs incurred. Since I did not raise corn or have a means to pick or process it. I had to buy feed. When you start talking a 5 gallon bucket of feed a day per steer it gets expensive. I in turn cut back on the amount of feed that I fed. This in turn meant that I lost weight gain on the steer. I raised chickens for eggs, you either have free range or pen birds. Free range are cheaper to feed, however your egg production is down. You also still need some sort of scratch for them to eat, to keep egg production up. If they are free range they will also stop or slow down egg production in the winter. Right now I have 20 chickens been feeding them for 5 months. I should start getting eggs soon. I will sell the eggs at $2.50 a dozen. I will not make a profit, but will cover costs, so this will make me happy.
I would like to see others input

Welcome Back
In the third installment of my Altered Baubles project, here is my latest creation.
As before the original baubles looked like this;
Today's bauble was originally the matt gold one. It was coloured using Ranger's alcohol inks in; Terracotta, Rust and Bottle.
These would make great presents and be ideal wrapped using the exploding box, shown in an earlier post. Do have a go at these yourself and let me see the results.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Sadistic Embrace Lyrics
Since the beginning I've been thinking of a way. Since the beginning I knew I couldn't change. I knew from day one that this never had a chance. Its all fake, it's all in the past. Partial understanding of my forced identity; I'm dead inside and it's all I'll ever be. I gave up everything. I gave it all away. Partial understanding of my forced identity; all we have is false hope.

This article was originally published on Coldwell Banker's Blue Matter blog:
Summer time often means long road trips away from home. While the freedom to travel wherever you please makes for great summer vacations, the trips themselves can sometimes hit entertainment road bumps.
Keep your road trip companions on their toes and be the Jeopardy champion of factoids with these quirky and intriguing real estate facts:
- India's richest man built a 27 story home. With 6 floors dedicated to parking and 400,000 square feet of living space, it requires 600 staff members to maintain it.
- The day you list your home matters. Homes listed on Thursday and Friday get more buyer tours, sell faster, and for higher prices. Homes listed on Sunday get more online views.
- The smallest home in Great Britain measures just 10 feet by 6 feet. It was once inhabited by a 6-foot, 3-inch fisherman.
- A FROG is actually a room. The Finished Room Over Garage is a term used often in the Southeast U.S. (and there's even an unFROG when unfinished). Other parts of the country refer to it as a bonus room or great room.
- In Scotland, homeowners paint their front door red when they pay off their mortgage.
- In the Pacific Northwest, bathrooms can disappear before your eyes. A house with two powder rooms (1/2 bath + 1/2 bath) and two more baths with standup showers (3/4 bath + 3/4 bath) actually has 2.5 bathrooms total.
- Brass hardware actually disinfects itself. There's an ionic effect in the metal that is toxic to all kinds of germs and pathogens.
- Dead bodies heat homes. In Sweden and Denmark, crematoriums pass the heat from their incinerators on to the local utilities for residential use.
- It's not just the home. 8 out of 10 buyers would give up square footage for the right neighborhood, and 6 out of 10 would give up yard space for a shorter commute.
- Real estate listings with the words "beautiful" or "gorgeous" in their listing descriptions sell 15% faster than other listings. They also sell for 5% higher prices. Is that just correlation or some great marketing causation? Ask your Realtor.

James' buzzer-beater tops Pacers' as Heat take Game 1
MIAMI — LeBron James made a layup as time expired in overtime, and the Miami Heat found a way to beat the Indiana Pacers 103-102 in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.James finished with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists — his ninth postseason triple-double — and barely anyone noticed. All that mattered was the last shot, which simply saved the Heat.
Paul George made three free throws with 2.2 seconds left in the overtime, which he forced with a miracle 3-pointer, to give the Pacers the lead. But James — with Indiana shot-blocking center Roy Hibbert curiously on the bench — just drove down the left side of the lane, scored with ease, and the Heat escaped.
Game 2 is Friday night in Miami.
Officials reviewed James' play at the end, though it was clear he beat the clock, and the Pacers walked slowly toward their locker room, lamenting one that got away — by no fault of George's.
George was fouled by Dwyane Wade on the play where the Pacers had to think they had stolen the series opener.
George saved the Pacers in regulation with a 32-footer with 0.7 seconds left that tied the game, and he tried a shot from a similar distance as time was winding down in the extra session.
Referee Jason Phillips said Wade hit George, and the Pacers' star made all three free throws for the 16th lead change of the night.
The final lead change came moments later, and Miami survived a game that had 18 ties and neither team ever leading by more than seven points.
Wade scored 19 points, Chris Bosh had 17, and Chris Andersen had 16 on 7-for-7 shooting for Miami.
George scored 27 for the Pacers, who got 26 from David West, 19 from Hibbert. The Pacers have won only two series in franchise history after dropping a Game 1.
The final few seconds of regulation were stunning, with Ray Allen — the sixth-best free-throw shooter in NBA history — missing one that proved big, and George making a miracle happen.
Trailing by two with 17.7 seconds left, the Pacers had to foul Allen, who surely would have been their last choice. But he missed one of the two free throws, and it remained a one-possession game. Indiana brought the ball into the frontcourt, called time, and then seemed to have nothing really working as the final seconds of regulation ticked away.
So George simply made something happen.
From 32 feet George connected with 0.7 seconds left, tying the game and giving Indiana life.
Allen didn't get much of a desperation shot off at the end of regulation, and to overtime the teams went.
The Pacers kept landing the first punches. George made a pair of free throws to open the extra session, and Andersen tied it with a pair of his own. Hibbert scored from close range, and Wade answered with an easy one after a runout for the 16th tie of the night.
George was far from done. He went past James, got into the lane, tossed up a shot after contact and started what became a three-point play that put the Pacers up 99-96. Miami had three chances at the tie — a desperation 3-pointer by Shane Battier as the shot clock was expiring, then a 3-point try by Battier and another 3 attempt by Battier.
All missed.
But Bosh grabbed the rebound of the last Battier shot that bounced off the rim in that sequence, scored while being fouled by George with 49.7 seconds left, calmly swished the free throw and the teams were — what else? — tied again at 99-all.

Rockies-Marlins rained out Friday, old-school doubleheader Saturday
Rain-soaked Coors Field won't host the Rockies tonight, Friday, with the Marlins in town.
Instead, an old-fashion, regular doubleheader will be played Saturday starting at 3:10 p.m. There will be 20 minutes between games. Tickets to one game get you into both.
Regularly scheduled pitchers still stand. Colorado's Greg Smith (1-1, 4.67 ERA) goes against Florida's Ricky Nolasco (1-0, 3.74) in the first game.
Aaron Cook (0-2, 7.53) pitches for the Rox against the Fish's Nate Robertson (2-0, 2.20) in the nightcap.
From the Rockies:
The second game of the regular doubleheader will be approximately 20 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. The ballpark will not be cleared of fans between the games. Only tickets printed with April 24, 2010, 3:10 p.m. or April 24, 2010, 6:10 p.m. will be valid for the doubleheader. The same ticket is good for either or both games in the same designated seat location.
Tickets from the April 23, 2010 game are valid for exchange. Exchanges may be made for any game throughout the remainder of the season, including the April 24, 2010 doubleheader — value for value, best available seating. Complimentary tickets have a value of zero dollars and therefore may not be exchanged. Discounted tickets may be exchanged only for the amount paid to the Rockies and are subject to any constraints applicable to the original sale.

Ibiza style chill music in it's purest form.

|Christmas in Wales
The season brings with it the invitation to uplift many traditional rhymes, customs, and beliefs associated with the arrival of the New Year. Listener Karen Mueller shared these reflections on Welsh Christmas festivities.
Karen writes...
Scotland is an especially rich source of New Year festivity and folklore. In Wales today it's not unusual to find Christmas trees, Christmas cards, and the welsh equivalent of St. Nicholas, Siôn Corn, heralding the festive season, much the same as elsewhere in Christendom.

No Respect For $6M Wastewater Treatment Facility
Here's What You Missed At The Tour
Glasgow's most expensive public works project doesn't get the respect it deserves. It cost nearly $6 million and took a decade to go from planning to performance. The system is unique in Montana, packed with energy-saving features and it harnesses biological processes to keep the Milk River water pure.
But it gets no respect. It slinks around under a pseudonym: WWTF. Waste water treatment facility. It's a sewage plant, one of the fundamental services required of civilization. The full, double-barreled scientific description of this state of the art facility is provided by Rika Lashley, one of the engineers from Morrison-Maierle who designed it: a four-cell, covered, aerated lagoon system with post-nitrification.
A public invitation was extended to tour this fine new structure at Sullivan Park last Friday, to "see how we get rid of the poo." Apparently this is not something people want to think about, not even with free beer as an added incentive. Of the 10 people at the event, four could be classified as members of the public and one of those was the operator of the Hinsdale sewage treatment plant. The other six were city officials or engineers with the project.
If it was the fear of bad smells and sights that kept people away, they would have been pleasantly surprised. The covered lagoons and the air management systems practically eliminate odors and there's no visible waste. Any collection of cows or pigs or gym socks smells more potent than the WWTF.
If people had come, they would have toured the process step by step, from the screening of the "influent" (as the sewage is called when it enters the facility) to its transfer to two huge lagoons for aeration and settling, followed by ammonia removal in the post-nitrification reactor and a final blast of ultraviolet light to kill harmful E. coli bacteria before release into the river as effluent.
The process that transforms messy sewage into tame discharge is the natural action of living bacteria that come with the influent. The lagoon system consists of two earthen basins with thick synthetic liners, each subdivided into two cells. The lagoons are topped with 4 inches of rigid insulation that keeps water at the correct temperature, even during a Montana winter. This is the unusual feature of Glasgow's system. Powerful floating mixers and submerged fine-bubble diffusers force oxygen through the water for the bacteria. If the "bugs" are kept happy, the process ticks along without any chemicals. They consume most of the solids, although the settling cell will need pumping every 10 years or so. Microbes even do the work of converting ammonia to nitrate.
"The environment selects for those bacteria that want to eat ammonia," Lashley said. "We give bacteria the environment to do the job we want them to do."
"This is biological treatment of wastewater," said Jeremy Perlinski, an engineer with Morrison-Maierle. "We're getting smarter and better about the environment."
The average flow through the system is half a million gallons per day. Wastewater is pumped from the lift station next to the water plant on Glasgow's south side to the WWTF where it discharges into the influent channel in the Screen Building. A basket-type ¼-inch fine screen removes rags and debris, which are washed, compacted and discharged to a garbage can for disposal at the landfill. That's the only smell there is, and it's in a small building.
Dave George, of Glasgow's Water Department, said the WWTF is visited by a water operator once a day, and it takes about half an hour to read all the equipment.
Construction of the new facility was necessary for several reasons. The existing lagoon system was 35 to 40 years old and had become unreliable in its performance. Aeration equipment was at the end of its design life, with portions of it not working at all. In addition, regulations and stricter DEQ permit limits required treatment processes that the existing lagoon system was not capable of performing. Ammonia, which is toxic to aquatic life in high concentrations, was one of the new restricted substances that had to be removed from Glasgow's effluent.

Well it's nice to know that other people are feeling the same way....and like you, I'm applying to some outside my range for the same reason. At least you got your lsat score first time out. I expected my 163 first time out and scored 10 points lower, so they'll be averaging a 163 and 153 for me at most schools.
only thing is first time i took test was at fairfield univesity in CT. During the last section, a track meet started going on outside with a bunch of girls screaming really loud. I thought I blocked it out, but I absolutely bombed that section that I normally got all but a few right in.I'm hesitant to talk about it in a personal essay b/c I'm afraid that it will look like I'm whining and making excuses.
I appreciate the advice, and it does not sound dumb. What about for places that I already applied to before receiving the score. Do they take info after the fact typically?

I wouldn't address it in your personal statement - just attach a separate, short (1 paragraph) addendum. I'd just address it very matter-of-factly: During the last section of my first LSAT, a track meet began just outside the room, and created a great deal of noise. When I received my score, it was well below what I had expected, and it was apparent that I had done far worse on the final section than on the previous sections. I retook the LSAT in XXX '04 and received a score that was much more in line with my practice tests. I feel that my second LSAT is far more representative of my true abilities, and ask that you give that score more weight. (That's off-the-cuff and sounds dumb but you get the point.) You might want to ask around for more input, but that's a huge jump in your score, so it seems like a legit reason to me.
Hello, I placed the posting below on the general board and only received a web site link. I'm hoping to get some further insight from those who have more in common that are going throught the process as older applicants....I'm a 30 year old white male decided to pursue the law degree that I decided not to pursue after a very mediocre undergrad track record (3.0 GPA, 2.8 LSDAS adjusted?, University of Florida). I have a very solid resume that includes the sales and management of multi-million dollar projects and management of staff in various businesses with significant legal exposure. Currently, I am launching a new division of a property/facilities management organization.In terms of LSAT, I got a 153 in October, which was far below my diagnostic tests. I retook the test in December and received a 163. My recommendations are all non-academic from senior level executives that I have either done business with or have worked for.My objective is practice law in either New York, Florida, or Washington, DC. Any help that anyone can lend into where they think I may be accepted or rejected will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.... Oh my gosh, why were they so mean to you on the other board?? Youngsters! Also, I think UC Berkeley is the only T1 school to admit that they have taken people with 148 LSATS so remember that their numbers are all on the bell curve...there are bound to be some with less than great numbers that became great students at almost every school. I think you have a great shot at American, Cordoza, ( I don't know much about these schools b/c I am not looking at them) but it seems that everybody wants to go to Georgetown these days but you never know unless you try and it also seems to be some young punks too that are applying en masse. I am so not much of a help with your geographic areas. Just shake what your mama gave you!

Prismatic567 wrote:What is evil [empirically-based] is part and parcel of reality. Such evils must be addressed and resolved.Why???Why?
Yeah. Why?
Let's look at the moaning and groaning of an old wise man, King Solomon. He had seen everything, both the righteous and the wicked, man and woman, and he reached the conclusion that all is vanity, there is nothing new under the sun. Whether you live in mirth or misery, whether you are poor or wealthy, man or beast, you all end up the same way; and in any event, all of it was futile. You could get the impression that these are whimpers coming from an old grouch who can no longer enjoy life. That is, if you superficially skim over Ecclesiastes (for the new generation, that's a book in the Old Testament). However, if you take a deeper look, King Solomon, who is considered the wisest of men, reveals that, from an external point of view, everything has the same value, which is no value. This reminds me of what SHET said: that from the point of view of "Consciousness" there are no values, and thus we are no more valuable than a piece of discarded orange peel. Just as value is not in the object but in our way of relating to the object, neither is meaning or purpose in the object, but in our way of relating to the object. Whether the object is my ego, my life, or the universe, there is not even one gram of purpose to be found in it. However, I can choose to attribute meaning or purpose to something from my point of view and then, it has meaning and importance for me.
From that point of view, "Vanity of vanities, says Qohelet, vanity of vanities: all is vanity" (Ecclesiastes 1:2). And King Solomon goes on to describe the many vanities and the meaningless state of affairs throughout this book in the Bible. He begins with the description of cyclical scenes - reminiscent of the loop - taking place both in space and time. Then through the most beautiful poetic phrases with deep wisdom and many encoded secrets, he describes how fixed relations to substructures are meaningless, how clinging to wisdom, riches, honor, etc. is meaningless. Yet at the very end of the book, something exceptional happens: instead of pain and despair, King Solomon reveals his tremendous loving strength in few words, giving hope. This phrase is repeated twice in the original Hebrew Bible, the second time presented as follows:
"The end of the matter, when all is said and done:
Be awed by God,
and his commandments
for that is
all what man is."[/i]
(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
I took the liberty of translating the original Hebrew text as is, without the interpretation of the usual translation, which reads: "The end of the matter, when all is said and done: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for that is the whole duty of man." Fear is the translation of YIR'A (יראה), which actually means "Awe", not fear. YIR'A (יראה) comes from RE'E (ראה), which means "see." When one sees the manifestations of God, then he feels awe, which can also include some fear, yet fear is not the main "Significance" of awe. Interpreting the text with a focus on fear instead of on awe creates an entirely different connotation emanating from a worldview that pictures a humanized, angry and vengeful God who will punish you if you don't do what he says. YIR'A (יראה) means to be connected by seeing the exalted and the astounding, and by reacting to it with wonderment. This is the ineffable experience of merging the Immanent with the Transcendent, experiencing the inner language that is our essence.
Awe is Recognizing "Quality" in "Quantity", which is our Means to be Connected to God and thereby to all of Creation.
The Hebrew text does not say that the whole duty of man is to do God's commandments, but it states that doing God's commandments is what man is. There is a huge difference between these two: if that was man's duty, then man must be considered as something separate from God, and God - although more evolved - must be considered to be like a human - a humanized God. The inability to grasp an abstract God often ascribes human qualities to God, and even a human body. As Moses Ben Maimon (1135-1204), commonly referred to as Maimonides or RAMBAM, the leading Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages put it in his "The Guide of the Perplexed":
"People think that the word TZELEM (image) in Hebrew refers to the outward shape and contours of a thing. This has been a cause of crass anthropomorphism because of the verse: Let us make man in Our image after Our likeness (Genesis 1:26). They think that God is the IMAGE of man, i.e. his shape and outline, and thus fall into unalloyed anthropomorphism, in which they firmly believe. It appears to them that by abandoning this belief they would deny Scripture, nay, the very existence of God would be called in question unless they imagine Him as a body with face and hands like themselves in shape and design, only - as they deem - bigger and brighter, and its substance not of flesh and blood. That is the highest degree of incorporeality they are prepared to grant to God... Since man is distinguished by a very remarkable function... because of this function, the divine intellect bestowed upon him, it is said of man that he is in the image and likeness of God, not because God is a body and therefore possesses a shape."
The sad thing is, I don't think you will recognize that these ancient ideas make your modern ideas look foolish.

Ever wonder why certain people are so effective at satisfying customers? It's because they possess the service mentality.
Customer service. Pick up any ad, and there's probably a line of type or two explaining the type of treatment to expect when you shop there. Usually, the advertisement reads, "We're the best" or "Service is our middle name" — something like that. Phone book advertisements are loaded with commercials for being very customer-service minded.
Why then do we hear so many horror stories about how people were treated? I recently surveyed several companies to seek out the traits and characteristics of those that have the service mentality. Clearly, not everyone does. The good news is you can learn the skills of the "best." No one has a monopoly on a service mentality.
I culled the seven traits that scored positively among the highest in the survey. Here are the results.
- Empathy
This trait won hands down as the most important characteristic when serving customers. In so many cases, you get APATHY, the exact opposite of EMPATHY. Simply put, empathy is putting yourself in the other person's shoes. How would you feel if what happened to them happened to you? True story: On a recent trip, someone stole my wallet. All my credit cards, checkbook, driver's license and, of course, the few dollars I had in it.
I proceeded to start making the appropriate phone calls to each credit card company — there were four in all. After explaining who I was and that I was at Disneyland and my wallet was stolen with four credit cards, cash and checkbook, the person on the other end blurted out: "NAME?"
There was no, "Gee, I'm sorry that happened," no, "Oh my, how sad." All they wanted was my name. No empathy at all. I hope those people (and by the way, all four credit card companies did the very same thing) never have to go through that loss. All I wanted to hear was a, "Gee, that's so sad." Or a plain old, "I'm sorry to hear that." Someone who understood.
Empathy is the No. 1 ingredient for a service mentality.
- Enthusiasm
Ah, yes, enthusiasm. You cannot replace appropriate enthusiasm. It's a sign of giving service that is above and beyond. When a customer feels that you are enthusiastic on their behalf, they just fall right into the palm of your hand. Exhibiting enthusiasm toward customers will give them confirmation that they made the right decision by choosing you. It's a confirmation that they've done the right thing. And everyone likes that.
It's the No. 2 ingredient of a great service mentality. Do you show enough enthusiasm in your job?
- Responsibility
Being responsible is so important. Being responsible is living up to a previously agreed-upon commitment. It can be a large or small responsibility. Example: I was speaking at a corporate meeting last spring, and when asked my needs, I told them all I needed was a hand-held wireless microphone. "No problem," the contact told me. She said she had told "Bob" to have the hand-held wireless microphone ready for when I was supposed to speak.
Well, when I got to the meeting room, there was only what they call a "lavaliere" microphone," the type you clip onto your garment. Not the correct one we ordered … but nonetheless, it would have worked. However, my contact was terribly disappointed.
My contact said: "You know, I gave Bob the responsibility to get you the hand-held, and he let me down — which in turn let you down." She continued, "I gave Bob the responsibility of getting you the microphone you needed, and he didn't do it." When you agree to something for a co-worker or a customer, it's key to be responsible and keep your commitment.
- Resiliency
How fast can you pop back into a good mood when something has disrupted your schedule? Or do you pout and fret and linger and wallow in it? The ability to bounce back from any adversity is an important service mentality.
Problems arise throughout the workday for everyone with disruptions that we hadn't planned. And as my mother used to tell me, "It's not the problem, Nancy, it's HOW you handle it." As usual, mothers are right. How we handle the situation is what makes it good or bad. And when disappointment or some unplanned interruption hits you, it's time to bounce back and be resilient. Your customers should never know you were disappointed. Need to work late and miss dinner with some friends? Or perhaps you had a minor disagreement with someone. The customer should never know that. Resiliency is a requirement for the service mentality.
- Balance
We view the balance of scales on the symbol of justice as an example of evenhandedness and fairness. So, too, with our workload versus the needs of the customer.
There's a fine line between pleasing the customer and losing money for the company. In other words, it shouldn't all be one-sided. When a customer needs something, that's fine. If, however, we go over the line, it becomes unbalanced and not fair to either the customer or the company.
Finding the right balance at your job and in your company will help you maintain the right balance for both you and the company. Is the customer always right? No; the customer always thinks he's right. We need to know the difference between giving away the store and sticking to company guidelines.
Balance keeps everything in check.
- Ownership
This is my personal favorite, because I see it so much as I call and shop around. It runs rampant through the business world. This is the proverbial, "It's not my job, or not my department, or I wasn't here that day, or I don't know anything about that."
Customers don't care if you were on vacation when something happened and they need help. They don't care if it's not your department. You answered the phone; they're depending on you. You were at the counter to help them now.
If you answered the call, you own the call. Take ownership of the situation. It's not that you'll need to do everything, but taking ownership and making sure the customer knows that you will find out for them are the key! As the Telephone Doctor, I feel it should never take two people to give good customer service. You get the call. You own the call.
- Adaptability
Granted, this service mentality might need some practice, but it is another important ingredient, characteristic or trait of the service mentality.
Think about the number of people whom you help every day, either on the phone or in person. They're all different, aren't they? Not only in culture, color or accent, but in mood and personality. We need to be able to adapt to all kinds of personalities. Having difficulty understanding someone? Learn to adapt to their particular problem. Ask them if they could please slow down so you can get what they need. Slow talkers? Adapting to them is so important, mostly because slow talkers don't like to be rushed. So rushing a slow talker through a conversation will only make matters worse. You'll need to adapt to those that are slow talkers. And of course, there's the fast talker — to whom you also need to adapt.
Think of the chameleon, that little lizard-like animal that takes on the color of what it lands on. They adapt to the color. And usually they're difficult to see. We need to adapt to the situation so that every transaction is a seamless one.
Well, there you have it. The seven traits that make up a SERVICE MENTALITY. You probably have some of them. Work on the ones that you don't have or aren't up to par in. Possessing these traits will garner you happier customers (and a happier boss).
