SellPoints Launcher for E-Commerce Product Page Optimization
In addition to Story Points and Enhanced Content, SellPoints also offers the option to add unique calls to action on retailer-designated locations on the product detail page through our placement known as the SellPoints Launcher. This is an opportunity to integrate deeply interactive content experiences such as product tours, zip code lookups, sizing estimates, and other customized modules that sets your brand apart from the competition.
How the SellPoints Launcher works
SellPoints' retail partners designate an area of the product detail page real estate, usually below the hero image, as the placement for the Launcher.
Brands can then create any kind of interactive experience imaginable using our library of rich media content and add it to the Launcher. When users interact with that space, often by clicking a button, the consumer sees and interacts with the brand's content in an interactive modal window.
Popular uses of the SellPoints Launcher
The SellPoints Launcher is most often used to activate a modal that has a tabbed menu bar, which brands can use to build a multi-page experience that serves as a comprehensive tour of a product's main features. However, the Launcher can be used to build nearly any kind of interactive experience including:
- Product demonstration videos
- Measurement inputs for sizing
- In-stock availability & delivery estimates
- Augmented reality product placement
- Consumer reviews
- 360 tours
SellPoints Launcher- a unique way to speak to consumers
For some retailers, the Launcher is the only place for brands to integrate their custom content experiences into their product pages. In those instances, the SellPoints Launcher is an incredibly important content experience that helps inform shoppers and puts brands head and shoulders above the competition.
For retailers that allow enhanced interactive content throughout their product pages, the Launcher provides yet another unique interactive opportunity to reach shoppers. In these cases, the Launcher can be used in combination with Story Points and Enhanced Content to complete the product story and close the discovery gap so more potential customers are moved to purchase.
Many shoppers, especially for retail products, electronics, or high-priced items, won't finalize an online purchase without feeling confident that a product is right for them. The SellPoints Launcher lets brands build a customized product page experience that shares highly relevant product information with shoppers so they may find the right product for their needs.

Comhar Consulting Group
Comhar Consulting Group was established in March of 2015. Between March and August the business found success through grass roots recruiting efforts, work ethic and an unwavering desire to succeed.By July of the same year our Managing Director, Todd Gordon, made his exit from corporate healthcare recruiting to focus 100% of his time and effort to Comhar Consulting Group. Since then, Comhar Consulting has filled positions in a variety of different specialties and states. The mission, vision, and values of Comhar Consulting Group can be summed up in one word – connection.
From its founding in early 2015, the driving force of Comhar's business was to bring the values of integrity, trust, and honesty to both the providers we recruit and the clients with whom we contract. The humble beginnings started with a cell phone, computer and no capital investment. We were started from a passion to make the difference, an entrepreneurial spirit, a simple faith, and the desire to work hard and persevere – there has never been a "Plan B".Comhar Consulting Group has a commitment to honor our core values, our client demand, and our candidate preferences. We will not compromise the values of honesty, trust, and integrity for ill-gotten gain or selfish ambition. Comhar's clients have come to trust us as a partner and our candidates have come to appreciate our transparency.
Todd Gordon
Managing Director
Todd grew up building forts in the weeds and riding his bike to the beach with a surfboard in tow. The small southern New Jersey beach town of Brigantine provided the beginnings for an entrepreneurial spirit when he used to tread water in the golf course ponds to find golf balls and sell them back to the weekend golfers on the 11th hole tee box. His love for the game of ice hockey took over in his high school and college years.
Eventually, he was tired of rubbing two pennies together trying to make a quarter.He left college early to begin his professional career making a living in the ocean and back bays of New Jersey. When that didn't work out so well Todd got involved in multi-level marketing where he developed his passion for people and recruitment. After 8 years in MLM, he transferred his skilsl and experience into a career in third part recruitment where he has remained for the past 17 years. Todd has recruited in almost every industry within several states including: Los Angeles (CA), Savannah (GA), Columbia (SC).
He returned to school later in life to obtain a Bachelor's of Science in Human Resources Management from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. After obtaining his degree he started his HR career in the healthcare industry where he became an in-house physician and nurse recruiter at a local hospital. He moved from NJ to Fort Worth, Texas where he continued his healthcare staffing career in the Locums industry. After meeting Teresa, his entrepreneurial spirit was reignited on the belief that Comhar Consulting would bring a higher level of integrity, honesty, and attentive service to clients and candidates. For Todd, these were values he felt the industry had lost sight of in an extremely competitive, corporate environment.
The first two things Todd learned to do when he moved to Texas was learn to ride a horse and handle a firearm. One day he might learn the two-step and own a horse but he is taking things one step at a time. Todd is single with no children which allows him extra time to pursue his love for golf, participating in ministry service at his church, and spending time with his Rottweiler, Meshach. Todd is passionate about charity causes that support our military veterans' and single mothers recovering from adversity.

This review Baby and Daddy Bonding Tips was made possible by iConnect Influencer Management and Pam
I've been there, too: a first-time parent with a six-month-old baby cemented to my hip. I refer to that period of my son's life as "baby limbo" when he was unable to sit up by himself much less participate in any organized program, and he and I were essentially "stuck" in the house. Each day was just a long continuation of the previous one: feedings, diaper changings, short cat naps, and I felt like the walls were slowly closing in on me. Taking him anywhere seemed like more trouble than it was worth; 13 years ago it was impossible to find a diaper-changing table in any establishment.
So I hunkered down, watched way too many talk shows and patiently counted down the hours until my husband came home from work to enjoy some adult conversation, which was really more like him watching "Seinfeld" reruns and nodding, while I poured my heart out to him about my feelings of isolation and general boredom with what I thought "or was told" were supposed to be the most blissful months of my life with my precious baby boy.
I needed to find ways to bond with my baby and my husband was instrumental in helping me to uncover all the fun we could have during diaper duty with his baby and daddy bonding tips. Whereas I saw diaper duty as a rote necessary evil my husband saw it as an opportunity to craft personalized chants to our boy and believe it or not- 13 years later we are still singing these same tunes to him. Those songs we chanted during the seemingly monotonous diaper changes- bonded us in a way that is hard to articulate- and I owe it all to my husband!
But fast forward and 2018 is a real game changer– dads are on diaper duty just as much as mom. If you're reading this and thinking, these sentiments are echoing my inner dialogue, you'll be happy to know there are fairly inexpensive ways to help DADS and your lil' one out of the house, taking part in activities designed specifically with your baby in mind. Just because you have an infant doesn't mean you have to wait until he's walking to finally leave the house. And of course– you will always have DIAPER TIME!! Keep reading for my Baby and Daddy Bonding Tips and a month's worth of PAMPERS diaper coupons GIVEAWAY!

Instead of a second overtime period, the game was abruptly ended and later classified as a scrimmage. Players and coaches from both teams have decried the incident, which in recent days has sparked widespread consternation.
"The fact it happened to a women's sports team essentially put us back a little bit. I think it's very unfortunate the decision-making process wasn't thought out more," Temple Coach Susan Ciufo told The Washington Post. "I know we're not a big-revenue sport, but to make young women feel what they did for 70 minutes doesn't really matter, what are we telling young female athletes about what it means to be an athlete?"
Ciufo said both teams did everything they could to finish the game — even lobbying for an early shootout or shortened second overtime — to no avail. The coach said she felt especially bad for her players, who had nearly seized on a rare opportunity to beat a ranked opponent.
"It's 2019," she added. "It's kind of absurd this happened."
The University of Maine field hockey Twitter account addressed the situation in a Saturday morning tweet, and senior forward Riley Field expressed her disappointment in a series of tweets of her own. She also posted a video of the fireworks display, which she noted took place at noon — more than an hour after the first overtime concluded.
these are the fireworks that we were kicked off of the field hockey field for... which was behind the stadium. pic.twitter.com/UKBNWA617N— Riley Field (@RileyField11) September 7, 2019
Critics demanded answers from Kent State Athletic Director Joel Nielsen, who in a statement apologized to players and coaches from both teams. He said Monday the university had "reviewed and altered our procedures to see that no student-athletes are faced with this situation in the future."
"In hindsight, a different decision should have been made to ultimately ensure the game reached its conclusion. We hold ourselves to a very high standard, and in this situation, we failed," Nielsen wrote. "I realize that my statement does not undo the negative impact on the student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans who deserved to see their teams compete in a full contest."
In a statement, the National Field Hockey Coaches Association decried the unpreparedness of Kent State officials, calling the incident "unacceptable" and "extremely damaging." According to the NFHCA, both Maine and Temple were notified of the cutoff time in a May email, which was necessary to accommodate fire marshal regulations. But, the organization added, "Kent State University failed to communicate the steps that would be taken should the 10:30 a.m. hard stop be reached."
"While we understand that the fireworks were deemed to be an important part of Kent State University's Family Weekend festivities which featured the home football contest, we cannot understand why the university would seemingly prioritize a daytime fireworks display over the completion of a Division I Women's Field Hockey contest," the NFHCA wrote Monday. "The optics and the messaging to every field hockey program and to every field hockey player are that while they matter, they don't matter more than pregame football festivities."
Kent State reportedly offered to resume the game later that day at 5:30 p.m. — seven hours later — but players and coaches from both teams said that was not feasible. It is unlikely the game would be completed at a later date.
Addressing reporters Monday, Field said she assumed the Kent State officials were joking when they instructed players to clear the field Saturday. The shock didn't set in until later that day, she said, which inspired her to tweet about the issue.
The video of the fireworks was to allow people to see exactly what Kent State had prioritized over their game, she added.
Some have speculated the decision may be a Title IX violation. Maine Coach Josette Babineau said the NCAA had reached out to the team Monday to gather more information.
"It's brought up a lot of emotions, and first and foremost that's offensive and upsetting to think that because of your gender your sport is looked at as less," Field said. "We work as hard as any men's team. They work extremely hard. We work extremely hard at a Division I level."
Maine faced off against Kent State's field hockey team Sunday morning in a game players described as an emotional outing. Clouded by the prior day's events, Field said she and her teammates had trouble clearing their minds before the game. They lost, 2-1.
"It's hard to hold your shoulders up when you feel like you've just been brushed off or looked at as less than. I felt like a joke," she said. "I felt they didn't recognize Division I women's field hockey is legit. They felt football was more legit than we are."
Coaches from both teams say they hope Saturday's ordeal places a spotlight on discrimination in women's sports. Addressing reporters Monday, Babineau described how much her players fight for their school and each other.
"That part was taken away from them on Saturday, and it left them feeling like their talent, effort and sacrifice may not matter or is not valued," Babineau said. Speaking to her team, she added: "We need to do everything we can at U-Maine to make sure you never have to feel those feelings again."

Taking pictures is a hobby that can help to release the creative side in anyone. Photography can be both very interesting and frightening due to the complexity of what professional photographers are able to do. Read this article to get some easy tips to get you started.
Use digital techniques to create photographs that resemble oil paintings, watercolors, graphic pencil sketches and more. There are a variety of photo editing programs out there, but all the cool kids use Photoshop. Taking your photos and making them a piece of art, is as easy as clicking a button or two in these programs.
Keep things as simple as possible when you are trying to capture a picture. More often than not, you can capture wonderful images without messing with different settings.
A dSLR is an essential tool if you seek to take more professional photographs or to seriously embrace photography itself. The acronym DSLR stands for digital single lens reflex. This type of camera is the best choice because it allows you to see your image immediately after you have taken the picture. Full-frame DSLRs are best because they have the largest image sensor, and create more detailed photos.
Check out what other photographers are doing to get ideas to improve your own photography. Looking at the work of other photographers will remind you that there are endless ways to capture a moment.
Many people think that bright, sunny days are best for taking pictures, but the truth is that direct sunlight can ruin any photo. Too much sunlight causes pronounced shadows and glare, differences in saturation in different parts of the photo, and can make it hard for human subjects to keep their eyes open. whenever possible, choose morning or late afternoon light, rather than mid-day, to shoot your outdoor photos.
Photography should be something that you enjoy doing. It should be used to remember a specific moment, event, or place so that you may show others, or so you can recall it yourself. Always have fun taking pictures, and remain enthusiastic to learn new skills.
Detail some notes on your camera settings when you are taking photos. If you have hundreds of photographs, you probably won't be able to remember where or when you took them all or how you were feeling at the time. Use a notepad to record numbers of photos and descriptions.
Look for the perfect balance of aperture, ISO and shutter speed. The combination of these three properties will affect the photo's exposure. Unless you are seeking a certain mood, try not to take under- or over-exposed photos. Play around with these three settings to see how they work together and which combination will create the most interesting shot.
If you are looking to improve your photography skills, you should begin by investigating the art of proper composition. Like any other art form, if the composition in your photo is not right, the work will suffer. Study up and use what you learn about composition when you take pictures and you will get better in photography.
If you are shooting photographs in a florescent light setting, make sure that you adjust your camera's white balance settings appropriately. If you want to take pictures under fluorescent lights, compensate for it by pushing the tone of your picture toward the red side of the color scale, since this type of lighting gives a slight blue or green hue to the picture.
Learn composition and that less is much more with photographs. Do not crowd a shot with unnecessary visual elements. Keeping things simple in your photos is what catches your viewer's attention, simplicity often creates a big punch!
There are three essential elements to a landscape picture. Working backwards these are background, mid ground and, of course, the foreground. These things are not just fundamentals of basic photography. They are also fundamentals for other kinds of art.
You might be looking for a dramatic photo where your subjects are covered with raindrops following a storm. You can easily create this look by using a spray bottle and lightly misting water on your subject.
You need to decide if you want to use highlights or shadows in photos. However, you can have two pictures taken of the subject exposing one of each, and you can use a program like Photoshop to blend them into a perfect shot.
If you do not use the ISO in your camera correctly, it will work against you. Turning your camera's ISO high increases the amount of grain you will see in your photos. Unless you particularly want the shot to have the grain, this lack of understanding could ruin your shot.
Shoot pictures from a variety of angles using different sources of light. Try playing with the settings before you go and take the shot, you will then know how it will differ.
Make sure you are aware of where sharpness appears in the picture and how it works. If you are taking a typical picture with typical settings, the center area of the pictures will be the sharpest. The closer you get to the edges, the more distortion you get.
It's a good idea to take landscape shots using a tripod. A tripod or other steady base is very important because it will help you to focus on your shot and not on shaking camera. With the use of a tripod, the quality of your photos is sure to improve, especially those that involve picturesque landscapes.
There is much more to capture than just a smiling face when it comes to photographing people. There are many beautiful parts of the human body that can be used as the subject in your photos.
Learn what situations require the use of a flash. Your flash shouldn't be on all the time. Too much light can ruin a great shot. Only use the flash in low light.
Photography is a common hobby enjoyed by many. However, some people never bother to pursue photography because they are intimated by the complexity of photography and the amount of information available.

transport and handling, although it may take a few days to show up.
Roots Good root growth is vital for the overall health of plants, although many plants can survive with little or no root growth by taking nutrients directly from the water through their leaves. These plants are often sold in bunches rather than pots, and close inspection will usually reveal that they are top cuttings and not fully formed plants. Most plants sold in this way are relatively hardy and adaptable and should grow new roots as soon as they are planted in a suitable substrate. Potted plants should have good root growth, which can often be seen emerging from the pot. The roots need not be long, but should be white and free from obvious damage.
Depending on the parameters of the aquarium you are planting, there are several factors to consider when aiming for a varied mixture of plants. Choose plants on the basis of their aesthetic appeal, practicality, and compatibility.
Growth rates Plants can be described as fast- or slow-growing, but a more important consideration is the time they take to become established. Fast-growing plants, such as Cabomba, Ambulia, or Egeria, will establish and grow quickly. They soon begin to use nutrients in large amounts, which may cause problems for other plants that need a "settling in" period before they start to grow. The faster-growing plants may use up nutrients in the water before the slower-growing ones have become established, making it even more difficult for them to get started. You should therefore introduce the slow-establishing plants (including many foreground and harder-to-keep species) before fast-growing and fast-establishing species, or give them additional help in the form of substrate fertilizer tablets.
Planting areas Choose a good mixture of foreground, midground, and background plants, plus floating plants if you wish. Many background plants are sold well before they reach their potential height, so picking plants on the basis of their size at the point of sale will not ensure a mix of plant heights when the aquarium is established. Midground plants should be species that can sustain regular trimming without suffering any long-term damage.
Leaf shape and color Selecting plants with different leaf shapes, sizes, and colors will create a varied, interesting, and contrasting display. A good approach is to restrict the choice of foreground plants to just a few species, but to include a number of different midground and background plants. Remember that different leaf shapes and colors require different conditions in the aquarium. For example, red-leaved plants should be placed in areas where they can receive the most light, while fine- and feathery-leaved plants prefer areas of moderate, but not strong water flow, so that they do not trap too much debris between their leaves.
Environmental conditions The plants you choose should all be able to thrive in the conditions provided by your aquarium. This means they should share the same requirements with regard to temperature, light, and water hardness. Careful research is vital when choosing plants, so make a list of all the suitable species that could be included and identify alternatives for each if your first choice is not available.
Most aquatic plants are fairly hardy and will transport well if packaged correctly. If you are moving a few plants, simply place them in small plastic bags (such as
Vallisneria americana
Cryptocoryne willisii 'Lucens'

The word aquarium originates from the ancient Latin language, aqua meaning water and the suffix rium meaning place or building. Aquariums are beautiful and look good anywhere! Home aquariums are becoming more and more popular, it is a hobby that many people are flocking too and fish shops are on the rise. Fish are generally easy to keep although do they need quite a bit of attention. Puppies and kittens were the typical pet but now fish are becoming more and more frequent in house holds. In recent years fish shops have noticed a great increase in the rise of people wanting to purchase aquariums and fish, the boom has been great for local shops as the fish industry hasnt been such a great industry before now.

Sometimes the words just don't come. I meditate through my yoga routine, I steam in the shower trying to clear my head; but my thoughts are too clogged with distractions. What to do? Thankfully, I have two dogs who recognized I needed to get out and refresh my mind. One went and sat obediently by the closet door, showing me where her leash is. The other kept nudging me, whimpering and begging me to stop being so foolish and just go outside. It was a gray November day, but surprisingly warm for the lack of sun; so I put on my coat and we headed out. Just watching them sniff and run through the leaves cheered my thoughts, and before I knew it their interest in fallen foliage had attracted me as well. I slowed my pace, stopping to look at the varying shapes and colors, observing the hints of moss peeking through the layers of mulch. The tiny shrubs valiantly clung to their leaves, in unusual shades and patterns. Normally I would have zipped by them all, trying to get a power walk in while the dogs ran around; but today, they also slowed down, taking time to turn over logs and dig through beds of leaves for scents of deer or rabbits. I picked up two leaves to admire the differences in size and shape, and almost immediately I began collecting them.
Did you ever notice how many different shapes and sizes Oak leaves come in?
Or how many shades of brown? Dark, light, golden, rust, tawny and olive are just a few versions I found.
These are all in yellowish tones.
And what about red? Burgundy, orange, magenta, peach and even some I might classify as pink. Who knew?
I think these qualify as shades of black.
And then there are these leaves, which couldn't make up their minds. One even caught my eye as it had almost every color of the rainbow on it. It was laying off to the side of the trail, under some dried grasses. I would never have noticed it if I was not already alert to leaf watching.
Finally, there are the stubborn ones. The ones who fight against the bitter reality that winter is coming, the days are getting too short to produce chlorophyll and soon it will be very cold. Kudos to them!
So with a bag full of leaves, I headed home and spent an hour arranging them in various snapshots and editing them for today's post. Leaf collecting turned out to be a great way to clear my mind and be creative. I advise everyone to step out of their busy routines and retreat to some simple, physical activity. This is a stressful time of year and we all need to find a way to relax.
I just want to thank my wonderful dogs for reminding me of that and for taking me out for walks every day.

The election results are in. The current Western Australian government is out, and will be replaced by a party that has not been in power for years.
We have been studying the news recently, however, so we know what to do.
a. Riot. Before they lock up all the Transperth buses we will climb aboard with our seniors cards ( free travel between 9:00AM and 3:00PM ) and seize them from the startled drivers. We will overturn them on the main street and set fire to them. One team of two pensioners per bus. Should have that one done before the daily radio serial comes on at 10:30.
b. Refuse to attend the inauguration of the new Premier. Of course, he doesn't have a public open-air inauguration as such in the Westminster system but this should not prevent our local film and second year arts students from declaring their righteousness and refusing to attend something they are not invited to.
c. Call for the impeachment of the new Premier.
d. Find some physical aspect of the new Premier that we can belittle. His hair is probably his own and the size of his hands is likely to be average, but there must be something that can be ridiculed. Has anyone seen his feet?
e. Start a sneering campaign against his wife and family. Then berate those who join in it with us. Then do it again. Bait. Switch. Bait. Switch.
f. Dig up dirt on the new Premier's ministerial appointments. Or make up dirt. Or just wait until they go off the rails themselves and take it from there.
g. Make noises about emigrating to South Australia or the Northern Territory while attending hip lunches and swish parties.
h. Demand a safe space to prevent micro aggressions and cultural appropriation. I am going to demand one at the local hobby shop and pub. If they can pipe model airplane glue into the saloon bar I may never leave.
i. Ring up Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, and John Pilger and see if they are interested in doing a scathing documentary on whoever becomes Premier, if he doesn't pay up.
j. Complain bitterly to anyone who cannot get out of earshot fast enough that the Premier is a man and therefore is not a woman. Demand compensation, reparations, an apology, a special day, and a fleet of white Toyota's for the fact-finding co-operative.
k. Flood the social media with a putative campaign for the wife of the deposed Premier to be elected in his place in 3 year's time.
We're no fools. We understand elections. We know our chance when we see it. When the situation demands it we can be as revolting as the next state.

Leaders has added new branches in Northwich and Nantwich, as well as a lettings portfolio in Chester, to its network after completing the acquisition of local firm Temples.
The acquisition was confirmed earlier today (15th March) and will see the company expand into two new towns while merging the Chester portfolio into its existing branches in the city.
Kevin Swire and Tony Snead, owners of the former Temples branch in Chester, will remain with Leaders to take up the roles of Lettings Manager in the company's Chester and Nantwich branches respectively.
All the existing Temples employees will also remain in place as their branches start life as Leaders, while Richard Prescott – the former owner of Prescott Hall, which was acquired by Leaders in October – will be Branch Manager at the new Leaders office in Northwich.
Matthew Light, Group Acquisitions Director at the Leaders Romans Group, says: "We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of Temples in Northwich, Nantwich and Chester, adding close to 900 managed properties to our national portfolio and enhancing our presence in Cheshire.
"This deal is further evidence of our commitment to growth in the north-west and will complement our current branches in Chester, Warrington, Altrincham, Manchester, Crewe and Stoke-on-Trent.
"We are extremely pleased all the Temples team have opted to remain with us and will now be able to offer the quality local service for which they have become known, while benefiting from the support and resources of a national firm."
The Temples deal is the 10th acquisition completed by Leaders in the last nine months and Matthew has promised there will be more to come.
He adds: "Our ongoing expansion is a sign of our confidence in the market and the success of our existing branch network. We remain committed to growth and are always interested to hear from business owners thinking of selling up."

I am looking for a guild that has higher restrictions than my current ability and into ELO. I am 25 and a market researcher. Numbers and analytics are my game. I love thinking what my opponent will do next and predict his moves. Knowing what he will do before he even does because I have already thought three moves ahead.
I am into ELO and T1. I find restrictions make it the best player rather than who has 8 of the best cards. Thinking of new strats and deck combos.
Sure, I may be only level 21. Though, level never represents how good you are, just how much you play. If you want a good player send me a PM.
W M Daexen Titan Wise Men Distracted Friday 03/07/2009, 23:54
21 levels is pretty impressive for only being 8 days old
ELO can be a lot of fun and frustrating at the same time lol
I find playing Type 2 with a 26 star deck can be more challenging than Type 1 though
Kypice WMD Titan Sunday 05/07/2009, 02:11
Heh. My work is very dull this month. So thats what I do all day at work. Still trying to find the combo I am interested in for decks and playtestin a bit, but id prolly end up having a t1 and t2 deck. Then switch depedning what I feel like. Prolly both same clan. So far I am a fan of Montanas but they have weak ability of SoA, so I am thinking of a dual most likely when i complete some testings.

Montana are great played monoclan in DTs - a little weak against SOA, but with skill you can win
I've won a tournament with a Type 2 Montana + Hugo deck, so don't discount their ability to be played alone. Getting your hands on Vickie Cr will be a big boon for you though
Kypice WMD Titan Wednesday 08/07/2009, 20:01
Still looking for a guild. Main things I am looking for are experienced played to help tone strategy as well as if I have some questions on spending clintz. For example... I have X clintz and to purchase cards to hold as possible CR, purchase smaller great cards for multiple decks(figuring out strat) or hold for expensive cards (100k+) CRs like Vickie Cr for a group I like.
I am experienced in strategy and will bring new ideas to a guild as well as through the rest of the summer this is what I will be doing at work. So experience and level/rating to the guild. I am currently at 1240 ELO and will be 1300+ either today or tmrw. So, if that proves any skill.
No, I am not looking for guilds with tons of members who invite everyone. Dont even both inviting if you are. I am looking for a good guild with restrictions that I may not even meet initially.
Growing WMD Titan Wednesday 08/07/2009, 22:57

Common Goals of Successful Dental Practices
Running a dental practice can be profitable and fulfilling, but it comes with the same kind of problems as any business. Even with the right certifications, the best equipment, and a competent staff, it can be difficult to strike the right balance between providing quality dental care and running a successful business.
In order to make sure your practice is profitable and thriving, it's important to set realistic and maintainable goals to implement throughout your career.
Common Goals of Successful Dental Practices
Below are a few common goals that can help you run a successful lifelong dental practice:
- Gain referrals – A successful marketing campaign is a very important part of bringing in new patients. However, the best way to gain patients is still through word-of-mouth. Use social media and offer some kind of incentive or rewards for your patients if they refer you to their family or friends.
- Hire & train staff – You should be continuously hiring and training good team members in order to run a successful business. Invest time and money in the proper training of your staff members. We know it might be an investment for you, but it's one that will pay off in the long run.
- Retain patients – It's much cheaper to keep your current patients happy than to bring in new ones. Keeping current patients loyal can also help with referrals. Make sure you're consistently working to provide a comfortable, relaxing, and efficient dental office. In addition to quality dental care, having a friendly and reliable staff in place can also help patients remain loyal.
- Improve efficiency – Lastly, efficiency is a vital part of keeping your dental practice successful. Your schedule, marketing campaign, and record-keeping systems should all be efficient and work toward making your dental practice run smoothly. It may take time to implement more effective strategies, but it will be worth it when you realize how much easier they are to keep up with.
For more tips on how to successfully run your dental practice or if you need help with your insurance credentialing needs, please contact Dental Insurance Credentialing today. We can help take some of your load off!

'A Spool of Blue Thread'
By Anne Tyler.
Knopf, 368 pp., $25.95.
Reviewed by Barbara Liss
Leo Tolstoy isn't the only novelist to have noticed that happy families are happy in the same way.
In our time, Anne Tyler makes this observation with more generosity of spirit and humor than Tolstoy ever showed. Tyler's families may not be over-the-moon happy, but happy enough considering that their relationships seldom meet their expectations. And they're alike in believing that complete happiness awaits if only they can find the elusive fix to a vexing problem.
Not a dozen pages into "A Spool of Blue Thread," Tyler's twentieth novel, two characters, clueless in the face of one such problem, are arguing over the fix. It's going to be a familiar ride.
Longtime readers of Tyler's fiction say domestic conflicts on the alluring tree-lined streets of her fictional Baltimore are enough to draw them in. But "Blue Thread" offers us more than familiarity. Here's an author who, after fifty years of writing, continues at the top of her game. With prose so polished it practically glows on the page, she makes fiction writing seem like an effortless enterprise.
"Blue Thread" introduces the Whitshanks, a family suffering the ordinary heartaches of jealous siblings, distracted spouses, and aging parents. Added to this litany of everyday experience is the family's insistence that they be happy and special: a recipe for disappointment.
The book begins with an engaging scene: Abby and Red Whitshank are on the phone with their 19-year-old son, Denny. He's calling from who knows where — another of Tyler's feckless, wandering children — to tell his parent he's gay. The conversation goes badly, and when Denny hangs up on Red, Abby sadly reflects that they'll never hear from him again.
Denny has plenty more to say although he never again mentions his new-found identity, not to his sisters, not to the woman he marries, not to his child. He's the flame around whom his family flit and are repeatedly burned. The Whitshanks, with "their talent for pretending that everything was fine," can't bear to acknowledge Denny's resentments, especially toward his adopted brother, Stem. Ironically, Stem is the one like Red. Denny holds this against everyone, and in his grievances proves to be the story's most interesting character.
Sometimes Tyler too neatly shoehorns characters into their roles: the bossiness of the Whitshanks' older daughter makes her a good lawyer; her younger sister's tomboyish manner assures her place in the family construction business. Their husbands, both jokingly named Hugh, show up to carry packages and fend off complaints that they don't recycle or take out the garbage. One of the Hughs wants to start a travel company for anxious travelers — a curious lapse for Tyler, as this business model comes straight from "The Accidental Tourist."
Abby and Red live in the family home on Bouton Road where Red grew up. Their children worry about the couple will maintain the house as they grow older. (We're reminded this is fiction and not life when Tyler easily resolves the issue.) Red's father, Junior, built this aspirational house some 70 years earlier — aspirational because Junior believed that when his family moved in, they would be accepted as the right sort of people. One needn't be savvy in the ways of the world (or fiction) to understand this is never going to happen. Junior, who once referred to an armoire as a "more," will never matter to the right people of Baltimore.
What happens in Tyler's books can hardly be called plot. For her, character is all. Over the years she has assembled an impressive lineup of difficult personalities: needy Maggie in the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Breathing Lessons," impulsive Pauline from "The Amateur Marriage," resentful Cody in "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant." Her female characters are amusingly capricious; her males, annoying in their steadfast demeanor. Even so, Tyler's work remains fresh and inventive because the characters she creates manage to slip the bounds of stereotype. They can surprise us.
Still, "Blue Thread" feels somewhat disjointed, with time shifting among three different periods. The first part ends abruptly with a family tragedy. "Isn't it strange how life sort of… closes up again over a death," one character comments matter-of-factly. And that's that. The story then moves backward and forward to recount the building of the house and to explain the quasi-mystery of the older Whitshanks' marriage. That section grows repetitive, but Junior's struggle against his working class roots shows Tyler at her storytelling best.
Secrets wind through the Whitshank saga. The person who knows them all is the one least likely to remain quiet. But not a single confided word is revealed to the others (only told to the reader in Tyler's offhanded manner). Here's what the secret keeper says about holding these confidences: "Oh, people would have been amazed!" Without a doubt, we were.

Customer Reviews
I experienced the Thirst Quench Hydrating mask when I was away on a relaxing weekend with my husband to celebrate our second wedding anniversary in the Hawkes Bay. It really was incredible. With a little initial help from my hubby to fix the mask in place I lay back and enjoyed a child free 40 minutes or so while my skin soaked up all the goodness. I came away feeling fully revitalised and I am sure looking 10 years younger! I can't wait to try it again!
I just tried the Skintology hydrating mask for the first time it was really easy to apply and once on felt absolutely divine like something you might have at a facial. It left my face feeling very well hydrated, looking dewy and feeling soft. I can't wait to do another one!
A total luxurious indulgence and definitely a higher quality experience and outcome than traditional paper sheet masks. Love!
This mask is great for my dry skin. My skin feel hydrated and glowing after use. Love it!

Currently in early pre-production stages.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 03rd, Jun. 2014 Under News
Along with Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us: Remastered, Naughty Dog has also revealed that it is working on a new AAA title that will be "on the scale of Uncharted". Speaking to Game Informer, co-president Evan Wells said the project is in very early pre-production stages at this time.
"We have the sizeable team that it takes to get something like that off of the ground, but it's got a long runway in front of it. We have a lot of great ideas and some stuff that is already getting everybody jazzed and excited. So, it's a long way off before we can really start talking about it in detail. But no, [Bruce and Neil working on Uncharted] is not going to impact our ability to keep that stirring that pot."
This comes after the fact that Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley of The Last of Us fame would be heading up development for Uncharted 4.

Landscape, animal and infrared photography from Spain and Netherlands. Discover the places I visit with beautiful photo series and animated information.
Madrid, Spain
After living all my life in Netherlands, I had the opportunity to live in Spain for a year. My girlfriend is finishing her master degree in Architecture, because of her I find myself noticing many buildings that normally would go unnoticed. I am becoming more interested in architecual photography because of her.
Eventhough we live in Madrid, we do a lot of trips to find beautiful places to photograph and visit. Beginning 2019 we went to Barcelona. To see, among many other sites, the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion. One of my favorite visits so far in Spain was flying the drone in the North of Madrid, in El Escorial.
You can find the series of all these locations in Spain in this section.
Drone: DJI Mavic Air
This little drone allows me to make photos and videos in 4K from a great altitude and unique perspective.
Contact me if you're interested in creating a video for your own project.
Nikon P900
86x (2000mm) Optical Zoom, 186x Dynamic Fine Zoom, 16-megapixel camera. I mainly use this camera for nightphotography.
Canon 50D
My first camera that I still have to photograph products for my job. It has a 18-200mm stock lens, and I have an optional 50mm which I use regularly.
Drone: DJI Mavic Air
One of my favorite ways of photographing is through the perspective of a bird. This drone allows me to see the world from above, wherever I go.
Samsung S7 Edge
As many people know, the camera's in smartphones are quite good. I sometimes even use my phone slow-motion videos. Mainly for travel pictures and food (for google maps).

The gap between
the frosted sill
and pane
Above the seat
where stormy clouds
are formed
Below the lakes
which spread and bend
and churn
There sits a heart,
tattered veil
But break it
crumbles when it
hears your name
And moments run,
like raindrops
in descent
The ghosts within
are nameless,
but a rose
She reaches through
the gloomy
looking lines
As faces press
like fingers
on a glass
"For you the sky,
I'll bend and break
and curve"
With secret
love springs flowing
by design
From here to
Shallow Window,
we entwine

And I know what you mean about getting buried in stuff you want to respond to. Me, too. There is a lot of good stuff to read and see, and I almost can't let myself because I seem to have lost all my time somewhere.

iv installed the game and when i got to play there is just a black screen can here the audio and see mouse cursor...iv read simalier ppl have this problem but so far nothing has worked thats been said to try...this is what i have noticed when u start the game there is a option to expolre cd in here it tells u what requirements are not meet its telling me that cpu speed requirement is 266mhz and is saying my system is -1230mhz and my driver space is not detected..what the heck is does this mean..and how can i fix it...thank you....firstname.lastname@example.com
You've gotta list your complete system specs in detail if you expect to get any help.
pentium 4 cpu 3.06ghz 512mbs ram
i dunno what specs any1 would need i also have a radeon x300 if that helps..
"its telling me that cpu speed requirement is 266mhz and is saying my system is -1230mhz and my driver space is not detected"
You didn't bother to list your specs in the OP & we have to check whether your system at least meets the minimum game requirements. Your specs are pretty weak by modern standards but I didn't realize Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a 10 yr old game. I have no idea what "driver space" is...you must have copied that incorrectly.
"Hardware Requirements:
CPU: PII 266 or equivalent
Video Memory: 2 MB VRAM
Hard Drive Space: 350 MB
Mouse: Yes
Sound Board: Yes
DirectX: DirectX v7.0a"
Try this site:
"Driver space" i think he meant hard drive free space.
i pass all requirements the real question be why the game reads my cpu speed at -1230mhz.
Maybe since it is such an old game, it doesn't know how to deal with 'modern' CPUs that run at such a high clock speed? Did you check for a patch?

Choosing the right mortgage can be a complicated process. With all of the options available to potential homebuyers, it can be a challenge to figure out what mortgage you can afford with your current income, savings, and equity.
Many potential homeowners use online mortgage affordability calculators to give them an idea of the mortgage they can afford, but these tools should be used with caution. Most mortgage calculators will only account for a limited number of variables that actually go into calculating the mortgage — to get a better idea, you should consult with a professional.
In this article, we will go over some of the factors that may influence the size of mortgage that you will be able afford, from external components like government regulations to individual considerations like your income and credit score. In each section, we've broken down what you need to know about to start answering the question: "what mortgage can I afford?"
Maximum Affordability
When calculating the mortgage you can afford, it's important to consider maximum affordability. In Canada, you must be able to afford to pay a down payment of a certain percentage based on the cost of the home.
- Homes under $500,000 require a minimum down payment of 5%
- Homes between $500,000 and $1 million require a minimum down payment of 5% on the first $500,000, plus 10% of the remaining balance
- Homes above $1 million require a minimum down payment of 20%
Paying the minimum required down payment will qualify you for some mortgage, but if you can, we recommend paying more than the minimum down payment to reduce costs from mortgage insurance, monthly mortgage payments, and more. In the long-term, a larger down payment may increase what home you're able to afford.
If you are having trouble paying for the home of your dreams, there are other ways to increase what you're able to afford in the future. For example, you can start paying off your debts or find jobs that will increase your income.
Gross Debt Service (GDS)/Total Debt Service (TDS)
Once you've done all you can to maximize your mortgage affordability, you'll need to determine whether you can afford the monthly mortgage payments. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has the following calculation for determining whether you can afford your monthly payments:
GDS <35% = monthly payments + property taxes + heating costs + 50% of condo fees (housing expenses) / annual income
TDS <42% = housing expenses + credit card interest + car payments + loan expenses / annual income
Your Gross Debt Service (GDS) is simply your overall housing expenses, divided by your annual income. To calculate your housing expenses, the CMHC will take your mortgage payments, property taxes, heating costs, and any condo fees (where applicable) to calculate what you will typically spend in one year. This ratio should be above one third or 35% to qualify for a mortgage.
Your Total Debt Service is your total housing expenses from the previous calculation, plus any potential debts or credits, divided by your annual incomes. These potential debts or credits may include credit card interest, car payments, or other loan expenses. This ratio should be above 40% to qualify for a mortgage.
Income & Credit Score
Your annual income or salary is essential for calculating your mortgage affordability and your GDS/TDS, but your credit score can be just as important. If your credit score is low (between 300 and 650), this will typically require you to pay higher mortgage rates.
For example, new immigrants to Canada will start off their credit rating at 300 and will need to build up their credit score before being able to qualify for lower mortgage payments. Other people may have bruised credit ratings due to missed debt or credit payments.
Many Alt-A or B lenders offer options for people with low credit scores. At Main Street, we recognize that your credit score is not always a fair reflection of you.
Down Payment
All homes in Canada will require a minimum down payment of 5% to 20%, depending on the cost of the house. If you are able to pay more than the minimum down payment, this can help you qualify for a larger mortgage, increase your maximum affordability, and purchase a more expensive home.
However, this is just one of the ways that your down payment can impact your mortgage affordability. Your down payment also influences your CMHC insurance and your monthly mortgage payments, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Mortgage Default Insurance
Mortgage default insurance is mandatory in certain situations. If your down payment is between 5% and 19.99%, you are required to purchase mortgage default insurance. Any mortgage where you are required to purchase insurance is known as a high-ratio mortgage.
If your down payment is above 20%, this is known as a conventional mortgage. No mortgage default insurance is required for conventional mortgages. All mortgages on homes over $1 million will be conventional mortgages, as a minimum down payment of 20% required for these purchases.
Mortgage default insurance is provided by three providers in Canada: the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Canada and Canada Guaranty. It will typically cost from 2.8% to 4.0% of your total mortgage.
Mortgage insurance allows people who would not otherwise qualify for a mortgage to buy a home. It keeps the risk for the mortgage lender low, since they are insured against potential defaults, and keeps mortgage rates low as a result.
Closing Costs
The cost of your home isn't fully realized until you take closing costs into account. Closing costs include a number of fees that result when you commit to purchasing a home, which can add up to range from 1.5% to 4.1% of the selling price. These fees include:
- Legal and administrative fees
- Home inspection (includes testing for septic tank, well, etc.)
- Land transfer tax
- Title insurance
- PST on mortgage insurance
- Property insurance (must be in place on closing day)
- Prepaid utility bills
- Property tax
When determining your budget for your home, it's important to keep closing costs in mind so there are no surprises when you finalize your purchase.
Monthly Payments
The CMHC sets your monthly mortgage payments according to your mortgage amount, mortgage rate, amortization period, and payment frequency. You can choose to pay your mortgage monthly (as most homeowners do), biweekly, and even weekly.
Your amortization period is typically no longer than 25 years if you paid a down payment of less than 20% — in fact, 80% of Canadians choose a 25-year amortization period. However, if you paid a down payment of more than 20%, you have more flexibility and most lenders will allow you to extend your payment period.
Your mortgage rate is also dependent on the type of plan you choose: variable or fixed-rate. A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to pay the same monthly payments for the entirety of your mortgage, and won't be impacted by rising interest rates. Variable mortgages are typically recommended for people who don't plan on staying in their home long-term and provide them with lower interest rates.
At Main Street Mortgage, we can not only help you determine how much mortgage you can afford, but we can help you find the best mortgage for you.

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.
Reasons for porcelain veneers:
What does getting porcelain veneers involve?
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.
On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.

Every weekend, the parishioners of St. Peter Catholic Church in the south Texas town of Boerne file into a gymnasium, with its basketball hoops, atrocious acoustics and hard plastic chairs.
It is not exactly what the Rev. Anthony Cummins would call an ideal place of worship, something he is reminded of every time he sees the church's old mission-style sanctuary next to the gym.
"A sanctuary helps one to get into the mood of prayer," Cummins said. "Just going into some church buildings is enough to get you in touch with the spiritual. That's all lacking in the gymnasium."
But the sanctuary, on the edge of town, sits empty. It is too small to hold the hundreds of worshipers who flock to one of four weekend services, and the city will not let the church expand because it is in a historic district.
That refusal has stirred a controversy that will reach the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a case some say could have a monumental impact on citizens' ability to freely exercise their religion.
At issue is the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which says that governments cannot "substantially burden" a person's exercise of religion unless it is the least restrictive way to further a compelling government interest.
In their lawsuit, church leaders said that Boerne officials interfered with the practice of their religion by blocking their proposed addition.
"We're deprived of the opportunity to worship in an appropriate place," Cummins said. "It's a burden in so many different ways."
City officials, however, say that the law violates the Constitution.
Calling it a "bold and unprecedented example of federal social policy engineering," they say that the law alters the balance of power between various branches of government and the church.
A trial judge agreed with the city, but the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the decision, sending the case to the Supreme Court.
