A long-term client, AndersElite had been working with 4MAT for fifteen years before deciding that they wanted to commission a fourth recruitment website in early 2017. Traditionally an innovative company, that prided themselves on providing a market-leading candidate experience, AndersElite underwent a management buy-out in late 2016, which resulted in a company re-brand. AndersElite wanted a website that reflected and emphasised their new brand, whilst also drawing on their years of experience within the recruitment industry. They wanted their new website to reflect their passion for providing a personal experience, good recruitment consultants and a friendly face to their customers. To do this, they wanted a clean, simple user experience that would make it easy to find great jobs, backed up with market-leading technology. For that, they needed a market-leading product: one that they knew 4MAT could provide.
One of 4MAT's main priorities was to build a website that would reflect AndersElite's new rebrand whilst also maintaining the heritage of a brand, and company, that had been active in the recruitment sector for years. We designed the website to fit this new image, using inspirational yet relevant imagery that would reinforce their status as a friendly, personal company that could also provide recruitment expertise in the technical industry. Above all, AndersElite wanted a website that was clean, easy to use and put recruiters front and centre: 4MAT rose to the challenge, foregrounding site navigation and Predictive Search capabilities that made it easy for candidates to search for jobs: to increase candidate engagement, they also created integrated consultant profiles for the platform, which allowed browsers to search for consultants, browse any jobs that they were in charge of or even get in touch with them directly.
In the months after the site went live, AndersElite received a marked increase in traffic and conversions: their Google Organic traffic increased by 55%, whilst their number of conversions jumped from 7.5% to 12%. AndersElite have also been working on upgrading and developing their website, which was one of the main reasons they chose 4MAT originally: the DV4 platform's flexibility is ideal for adding plug-ins, and they have been experimenting with features like Live Chat, and integrating Feefo reviews into the consultant's profile pages. A fantastic example of the effect that a great core functionality can have, combined with an increased focus on the people and consultants behind the business, AndersElite's simple and effective recruitment website is an excellent example of a modern, innovative recruitment website.
If you'd like to hear about how the team at 4MAT can help you, then why not get in touch?

Avon Lip Balm Review – Cherry Variant With Sunscreen
We as girls love lip balms the most, don't we? And I know some of us even have a huge collection of lip balms! (I would be interested in knowing your lip balm collection.) I love and use lip balms on a daily basis as I incorporate it into my lip care routine. Well, I mostly prefer tinted lip balms over non-tinted ones. Hence, when my previous lip balm- Lakme Lip Love Strawberry Lip Balm was over, I needed a new tinted lip balm. For the longest of the time I wanted to try a lip balm from Avon. Since cherry seemed that it would be the most tinted one, I had to choose it. I have been using Avon cherry lip balm for a little over a month and here is my review.

Our Meeting the French Bakery Tour
My two adult children are often aggravated with me because I am an over planner. I believe half the fun of a vacation is researching and booking your time well before hand. My daughter was very surprised when we got to Paris and didn't have every minute of the trip planned out. I knew we would see the big sites, but to be honest Paris overwhelmed me a bit. I had been apprehensive about the Parisian's brusque reputation . From the minute we got off the train however, things felt really wonderful. We got lost walking to our hotel and a lovely French woman led us all the way to it. This was the first of some great surprises. The Parisians were so warm and welcoming!
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do and she decided she would love to tour a French bakery. I didn't think I would be able to make this happen without reservations weeks in advance, but started researching on the internet just in case. There were a number of companies that offered bakery tours or special tastings, but they were very expensive and already booked up. Then I found Meeting the French. This company offers special experiences like tours of bakeries, flower markets and vintage shopping excursions with a Parisian guide to give a behind the scenes experience. After some discussion, we decided to book a baking lesson at a French bakery for the next day.
The bakery was tucked away on a quiet street, but we had no trouble finding it. We met our guide and the one other participant inside and were taken to the back room for introductions and an overview of the morning's activities. Our guide was amazing! She graciously translated the French of the baker to Japanese for the other guest and English for us. She never missed a beat and was able to make the complicated process of making baguettes understandable to each of us.
We headed down into the basement of the small, family-owned bakery, where our baker charmed us with humorous anecdotes and inside stories about life as a Parisian baker. He gave us an overview of the types of flour and other ingredients used to bake traditional Parisian baguettes. He explained the difference between boulangeries (bread bakeries) and patisseries (pastry bakeries.) Baguettes are created using a very specific set of rules: #55 flour, Parisian water, hot steam ovens and careful shaping techniques. Once we had the rules down, we started baking. He guided us through each step until we had created a variety of breads and croissants. When we got our loaves into the oven we headed back upstairs for a mini pastry baking lesson. It was fun to see all of the fillings for the elaborate pastries.
Two hours later we left the bakery loaded with toasty, fresh baguettes, croissants and a deep affection for the French. We would heartily recommend this tour. Our tour cost 113 euros each and lasted over 2 hours. Our guide and baker were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely loved "Meeting the French!"

David K. Zandi is a movie executive with an interesting background – he's a genuine Persian prince.
As one of the last male members of the Zand dynasty, the multi-talented Zandi has fencing, Roman sword fighting, equestrian, acting and modeling skills.
The IESB now reports that in a 2.5 year market research poll of 15 million people worldwide, Zandi was overwhelmingly picked as the man who should play the title character in Disney's Summer 2009 tentpole "Prince of Persia".
Zandi scored 70% of the vote in a worldwide poll, easily beating nearest rivals like "Heroes" star Sendhil Ramamurthy (8%), Orlando Bloom (7%) and James McAvoy (6%). In the US domestic poll his win was almost as big with 60% of the vote, ahead of "10,000 B.C." star Steven Strait (14%) and "Step Up" hunk Channing Tatum (10%).
Mike Newell directs this film adaptation of the hit video game series which is scheduled to go into production this Summer.

We are so excited to share that Friday morning, April 15th at 6am, Cooper Chess Owens was born! He's beautiful and perfect! He weighed 8 pounds and 3 ounces and was 20.5 inches long!
Around 11:00pm on Thursday night, we headed to the hospital. Thinking it might be a false alarm, we were shocked when Lindsey went from 2 centimeters to 10 centimeters of dilation in just 3 hours! Around 3:30am she started pushing, but by 5:30am Cooper hadn't budged at all. We wanted a natural birth, but now our doctor was saying that, for his safety, we needed to have a C-section. We told God that we trusted Him to take care of both Lindsey and Cooper, and then told our doctor to do the C-section.
The nurses left the room and the birthing table quickly converted to an operating table. But suddenly, Lindsey felt like something had changed. When our doctor checked, she said nothing to us, she just yelled, "Birth team, get in here NOW!"
And 3 minutes later (that's not an exaggeration), this handsome guy changed our lives forever.
We praise God for being with us every step of the way. He has been so good to us, and we are so thankfully that we're now a family of 3. Thank you for all of your prayers over these last few months.
We're going to be taking a bit of a break from our weekly emails to focus on our baby boy and our family. We can't wait to share more about Cooper in the future, but until then please know how grateful we are for each and every one of you! We can't wait for you all to meet Coop face-to-face one day soon!

It was, as always, our pleasure to turn the spotlight on to some unfairly neglected composers in 2009: Chris Walton's Othmar Schoeck is an engagingly written portrait of a composer whose reputation is very much in the ascendant after years of comparative neglect; Erik Chisholm is another whose work should really be heard more often than it is, and John Purser's biography of the man has been well-received; still awaiting Fate's tap on the shoulder is Dane Rudhyar, whose interests in painting, philosophy, novel writing and astrology have perhaps overshadowed his modernist compositions – hopefully Deniz Ertan's sympathetic biography will encourage you to investigate his music.
In the field of British music we published a new volume in the Aldeburgh Studies in Music series, Benjamin Britten: New Perspectives, edited by Lucy Walker and including essays by composer Colin Matthews, Piper biographer Frances Spalding, oboist George Caird, writer Claire Seymour and many others. The New Aldeburgh Anthology is a book for those drawn back to Britten's Aldeburgh year after year for the music, writing and arts - and to all who care for the landscape, the sea and the ongoing life of the Suffolk Coast.
Michael Barlow's Whom the Gods Love (Toccata Press) told the story of the short but intensely creative life of composer George Butterworth, whose life ended alongside so many others at the Battle of the Somme. Toccata also published two volumes of writings by British composers: William Alwyn's Composing in Words, edited by Andrew Palmer, and the long-awaited second volume of Havergal Brian on Music (edited by Malcolm MacDonald), where the maverick English composer looks at works by Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg as well as Bartók, Berg, Busoni, Debussy, Dohnányi, Hindemith, Kilpinen, Mahler, Messager, Ravel, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Sousa, Szymanowski, Tailleferre, Varèse and many others.
Collections of essays of this kind provide enormously useful insights into the minds of composers, as does Bálint András Varga's compelling book of interviews with György Kurtág which also includes his deeply moving homages to his friend and fellow-modernist, Ligeti. No-one with an interest in contemporary music should be without this superb publication.
The Ballet Collaborations of Richard Strauss was the subject of Wayne Heisler Jr's book, a richly interdisciplinary study of Strauss's collaboration with prominent dance artists of his time as well as his explorations of musical modernism. Ravel is the subject of Stephen Zank's Irony and Sound: written with insight and flair, it provides a long-needed reconsideration of Ravel's modernity, his teaching, and his place in twentieth-century music and culture.
Sterling Lambert's Re-reading Poetry looks at Schubert's multiple settings of Goethe: just as the poet maintained that his work could often be read in more than one way, so Schubert recognised that several of his settings of Goethe's poems could be rewardingly revisited. A fascinating study of a neglected aspect of a great composer's work.
Proust, Cocteau, Monet, Diaghilev and Colette were just some of the luminaries of French culture who gathered at the salon of the Princesse de Polignac, and Stravinsky, Satie, Falla and Poulenc all wrote music for her. The glittering world of fin-de-siècle Paris is beautifully evoked in Sylvia Kahan's Music's Modern Muse, her acclaimed biography of Winnaretta Singer and her times. Her second husband, Edmond, Prince de Polignac, was a respected composer and music theorist in his own right, and Kahan's In Search of New Scales details his exploration of the octatonic scale and presents his groundbreaking treatise in English and in the original French.
Composer and critic Bayan Northcott's collection of essays, The Way We Listen Now, was published to considerable acclaim under the Plumbago imprint earlier this year. Ranging widely over composers from the great European masters to American modernists, Northcott's collection is a superb volume to sample or to read from cover to cover.
Another author incapable of writing a dull sentence is Daniel Albright, whose latest collection, Music Speaks, also ranges widely, but rarely strays far from opera. For Albright the opera house is the venue where the performances speak the most intricate and significant language invented by our culture - a language that speaks in music, words, pictures, and light.
Indeed opera lovers would have found much to enjoy from our lists in 2009. We were extremely pleased to be able to respond to readers' requests to reissue Winton Dean and John Merrill Knapp's classic, Handel's Operas 1704-1726. This now joins Dean's volume on the later operas for complete coverage of Handel's works for the stage, available either separately or as a two-volume set. Another welcome return was John Lucas's Reggie, available for the first time in an updated paperback under the new title, The Genius of Valhalla. A must for the many fans of the conductor or anyone interested in Wagner and his interpreters.
Gillian Opstad's acclaimed Debussy's Mélisande is not simply a book about the opera, but looks at the lives of the three early interpreters of the role: Georgette Leblanc, Mary Garden and Maggie Teyte. Many reviewers remarked how convincingly Ms Opstad managed this complex narrative weave. Derek Katz presented an interpretive and critical study of the great Czech composer's operas in Janáček: Beyond the Borders.
String players will welcome the two-volume set, Intimate Voices: The Twentieth Century String Quartet, edited by Evan Jones. Examining work by 21 composers from 11 countries, this study is a unique examination of a form used by many to confide their most personal thoughts.
Early music has once again been well served by the Boydell Press. Hermann Pötzlinger's Music Book, a study of the St Emmeram Codex by Ian Rumbold with Peter Wright, not only examines the manuscript itself but looks at the culture in which it was compiled. Emma Hornby's keenly anticipated Medieval Liturgical Chant and Patristic Exegesis examines the relationship between text and melody in medieval music.
In the early 1900s August Halm was widely acknowledged to be one of the most insightful and influential authors of his day, yet today is music theories are less well known than those of his contemporaries such as Hugo Riemann and Heinrich Schenker. Lee A Rothfarb's recent book looks at his life and the enduring interest of his critical writing. Music historians will also want Bernarr Rainbow's introductions to the various music manuals he reissued, collected for the first time in Four Centuries of Music Teaching Manuals 1518-1932, edited by Gordon Cox.
Genetic Criticism and the Creative Process, edited by William Kinderman and Joseph E Jones, looks at the process of creative endeavour in an interdisciplinary context, emphasizing literature and drama as well as music.
Finally, where would you have found the most German speakers in the nineteenth century after Berlin and Vienna? Munich, perhaps, or Frankfurt? The answer is surprisingly New York City, and musicologist John Koegel has written a fascinating study of Music in German Immigrant Theater in New York from 1840 until 1940.
All of us at Boydell & Brewer, the University of Rochester Press, Toccata Press and Plumbago wish you the most harmonious Christmas season and a joyous start to 2010, the beginning of another exciting decade of music books from one of the world's leading independent publishers!

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued. – Socrates
"I work 14 hours a day."
This is phrase that is commonly heard from people who are career-driven and want to achieve a lot in their business or work life. However, this is not a healthy way to live.
Nor is it a wise way to live.
You will be stuck working and not being free. Where's the fun in that? That is not true freedom.
So, do you want to work less and experience more in life?
Do you want to be able to work on your passions?
Do you want to explore the world and everything that it has to offer?
Here are some things that you can do to be able to work less and experience more.
Learn how to delegate tasks
If you are a businessman and you feel like you're doing so many things all at once, then you're doing it wrong.
That situation happens when you try to do everything on your own.
You do not need to do everything. Let others do it for you. Train others who can work for you and learn how to trust that they will do the job properly.
If you learn how to delegate well, you will be able to free up your schedule. You will be able to work less hours.
Be a smart worker
If you are working as an employee, strive hard to be a smart worker.
A smart worker is someone who gets everything done within the required timeline and does not need to work extra hours just to get the job done. Also, the quality of his work is always superb because he does not overwork himself. He prioritises more things outside the workplace and has the time to go home and be with family.
Be a smart worker and experience more.
Know what you need to prioritize
To be able to lessen your work hours, do not try to do everything all at once. Always set a schedule for everything that you need to do. Remember: there is a perfect time to do everything, and you do not need to accomplish everything in one day.
Doing this will also help you accomplish all needed things in the quickest and smartest way. After smashing out your tasks for the day, you will have time to focus on your hobbies and passions. Best of all, you will get to rest and prepare for the upcoming day!
By doing these things, you will be able to lessen your work hours and maximise your productive hours and still be able to experience everything that life has to offer!
So, go ahead and work towards freedom.
Experience more today.

I've made this recipe before, granted it's been a couple of years. In fact I believe I was pregnant with the Farming Tot when I made this recipe last, ah the memories! There is something very special to me about eating a delicious bite of turkey with a little dollop of cranberry sauce on top... Yum! Now I have absolutely nothing against canned sauce, but it's SO easy to make homemade sauce that I just don't even see the point in not making it anymore. What's absolutely wonderful about this sauce is that you can make it days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until your holiday meal, which for me is a lifesaver when you have a lot to cook and bake (and if you find yourself forgetting to buy ingredients so you are running behind... Yes I am guilty of that this year!!). Oh and did I mention it also freezes well so you can keep the leftovers to use for other recipes throughout the year! Happy cooking and Baking this Christmas Season!
3/4 cup Water
2/3 cup Sugar (more if needed)
The zest and juice of one Orange
Dash of Nutmeg
Pinch of Cloves
12 oz. Bag or Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
In a medium sauce pan, combine all the ingredients minus the cranberries. Heat over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved add in the bag of cranberries. Stir and heat until boiling. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, til the berries have popped and the mixture is thick. Take off the heat and let cool, the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. At this point you can either can it, put it in an airtight container in the fridge or serve.
This is a family favorite, not only do we love cranberry sauce but the added hint of spice just gives it a wonderful festive flavor. It wonderful on my favorite holiday leftover sandwich, a roll, with a little sauce, turkey and stuffing... Yum! 4 stars.

Class Central Tips
-This week will cover the basic ideas of reproducible research since they may be unfamiliar to some of you. We also cover structuring and organizing a data analysis to help make it more reproducible. I recommend that you watch the videos in the order that they are listed on the web page, but watching the videos out of order isn't going to ruin the story.
Week 2: Markdown & knitr
-This week we cover some of the core tools for developing reproducible documents. We cover the literate programming tool knitr and show how to integrate it with Markdown to publish reproducible web documents. We also introduce the first peer assessment which will require you to write up a reproducible data analysis using knitr.
Week 3: Reproducible Research Checklist & Evidence-based Data Analysis
-This week covers what one could call a basic check list for ensuring that a data analysis is reproducible. While it's not absolutely sufficient to follow the check list, it provides a necessary minimum standard that would be applicable to almost any area of analysis.
Week 4: Case Studies & Commentaries
-This week there are two
case studies involving the importance of reproducibility in science for you to watch.

The final 1.5 weeks of lecture video material is not as useful or engaging and seems a bit lazy in that week 4 takes the form of recordings of lectures given sometime in the past. The videos in second half of week 3 only have voiceovers and they have an echo to them that makes them hard to listen to.

The idea behind reproducible research is to inform students about the reproducibility crisis in science and to give them tools to make their analysis reproducible. This is something that has long had impo…
The instructor's personal preference for knitr over Sweave may be contrary to most statistician's preferences.

Well, I failed at posting daily what I was thankful for to the blog. Heck, I failed at posting it to Facebook also. Lately my life hasn't not evolved around a computer, which is a good thing. At least I have been thinking about what I am thankful for each day even if I didn't write it down.
So, on Saturday the local Quilt Guild had a 2nd Saturday workshop. Members can come and learn a skill and/or make an item. I haven't gone in a long time, but when I saw this Over sized bag I signed up.
I think it turned out pretty good. The hardest part was making the handles. It did take about 5 hours from start to finish. I used it on Monday and I was able to get a bed pillow, piece of material and a few other things in it. It holds a lot!
What project have you made lately?

Oh man you guys. I meant to get a lot, A LOT more work done today than I did. Big paper due on Monday. And it's only 5-6 pages, which is normally just a little drop in the ol' grad school bucket, but since it's my hardest-grading professor, I'm a little nervous. Seriously-she commented angrily on my last assignment that I'd used 11 point font and NOT 12 POINT FONT. Oh noooooooo, not 11 point font, ahhhhh! Anyway, I am on a self-inflicted lock down for the weekend, but unfortunately the lock down did not work as well as I'd hoped this evening and in fact just ended up with me watching Wizards of Waverly Place and eating chips and salsa. I have an outline prepared, and one page so far, so I'm not completely incompetent. The internet-it gets me every time. So wish me luck for tomorrow. I'm hoping to get most of it finished. And I really, really want to be done by Sunday evening-Puppy Bowl! Super Bowl (commercials)!
In other, delicious food news from my week:
That's right. Curry.
I made some the other night. Does it count as homemade curry when one uses a curry paste? I think so. Tofu, carrots, peas, coconut milk, brown rice….it was delicious!
So I hope everyone's having a good Friday night out there… I'm heading to bed soon, and getting a fresh start for my Saturday. Weekend!

Diamonds have come to be associated with unmatched elegance, class, and exquisiteness. Commanding timeless appeal and unmistakable aura, diamonds are made available in myriad colours. There is no denying the fact that white diamonds with all their unrivalled mysticism have continued to rule hearts since time immemorial. However, that doesn't really leave coloured diamonds far behind as well.
Diamond is Available in Variant Hues
Yes! To the uninitiated let us tell you that diamond pieces can be availed in more than hundreds of natural colours with varying degrees of intensity:
- Orange
- Pink
- Green
- Blue
- Champagne
- Black
- Red
- Others
About the Pink Diamonds
Among all the hues thus have been mentioned above, pink diamonds remain one of the most popular. They make for some of the most exquisite and sought-after gems for investment. The pink diamonds are experiencing a steady rise in popularity not only as fashion accessories but also as an alternative investment. One of the leading resources producing the pink diamond is Rio Tinto's Argyle mine in Australia. 90 percent of the world's supply of pink diamonds is actually sourced from there. Finding the right argyle pink diamonds for you shouldn't really be an arduous task. There is no dearth of such stores functioning in Australia today!
The Historical Significance of Pink Diamonds
Notably, the pink diamonds have been historically found in places like Africa, India, and Brazil. What more? They have also graced the crowns of Indian, French and Iranian royalty!
As a prudent individual, you should be aware of the measures that you should take while buying these diamonds. For instance, if you are looking for the fancy coloured diamonds you should ensure that the pieces are actually certified with GIA. The laser inscribed pieces procured from a reputed store can turn out to be stunning additions to your jewellery collection.
Who should you buy coloured diamonds from?
It is important to note that stores offering coloured diamonds are not really able to showcase prices. It is simply because of the fact that they keep on fluctuating very often. So, you will have to call for prices. So, while researching your options if you come across stores selling them without showing prices do not strike them off your list. Know that they have a genuine reason to do so!
So call up for prices and choose a store which has a diverse catalogue to offer you!

Your perfect application, delivered on time
Our use of SCRUM® development methodology ensures that you get exactly the result you're after, exactly when you want itGet your free consultation
We bring our years of expertise as one of Australia's leading digital agency to make sure your project's vision becomes a reality. We conduct an in-depth review of your project, examine your strategy and refine it so the best outcome can be achieved at an optimal cost.
We'll start by understanding your target audience, competitors and project goals. Based on this, we develop a content strategy to support your marketing goals. We can also discuss a user acquisition strategy and user retention strategy to kick off the project.
Competitor analysis is an important phase of the project, it is important to stand out from your competitors. We review what your competitors have done with a critical lens, so that we can elevate your brand above the other players in the industry.
Before we build your functional application, we map out a blueprint in the wireframe. This covers every section of the project to make sure all requirements are covered.
Our solution architects will carefully analyse the goal of the project, user journey, technical complexities, integrations with other technology and future growth of the product and come up with a software architecture that will tick all the boxes.
We write a detailed project specification document, visually specifying the requirement of the project. We document everything so everyone – from the project manager to developer to client – is always on the same page.
We're experts in what we do, but that doesn't mean we're not looking to constantly improve. We apply heatmaps and video analysis technology to ensure the website/mobile app will be engaging for end users.
Ready to get started? We're here and ready to help you learn more about our digital strategy services.Book your free consultation
Nothing matters more than functionality and design. Those two factors make the difference between a good digital asset and an award-winning one. We hit both of these factors.
We will start the design phase by working on mood board and concept to best reflect your customer. Then we will present you with the best design concept that will not only cater to your audience but will also look stunning and professional.
Once the initial concept has been approved, our designers will create rest of the designs. Our focus in creating the design is to best represent your brand and improve your digital presence.
After the design phase, we develop an interactive prototype, allowing you to preview the user-experience and simulate the flow, prior to development.
When it finally comes time to building your website or mobile application, a lot of moving parts need to come together at the right time. To keep us on track and you up-to-date, we use the world-renowned SCRUM™ methodology.
It's a simple and easy-to-use Agile development method that helps us map out a complex project, break it down into working tasks, maximise workflow and keep you updated on our progress. In addition, we remain flexible and responsive to changes as required. Here's how we do it:
Define daily and bi-weekly goals and milestones to keep your development on track throughout the process.

If indeed the Phoenix Coyotes have played their last game as the Phoenix Coyotes, netminder Ilya Bryzgalov won't be making the move north with them.
"You don't want to go to Winnipeg, right?" Bryzgalov said after the Coyotes lost to Detroit, Wednesday night. "Not many people live there, not many Russian people there. Plus it's cold. There's no excitement except the hockey. No park, no entertaining for the families, for the kids. It's going to be tough life for your family.
I better go to somewhere in Russia, KHL, to be honest. Because KHL is Russian people, it's family, friends. Even as a cold place, I can speak to people in Russian language."
It's hard to argue with that. If your choices are cold, quiet places, at least pick the one that's your home country.
This isn't to pick on Winnipeg, which I'm sure is a fine place full of lovely people. But it is what it is: a mid-size Canadian city of about 650,000 people, where the average temperature is near zero (F) during the winter. The only people who would really love for the Coyotes to move back to Winnipeg? People from Winnipeg.
And a segment of fans and writers who are in love with some idealized version of hockey that never existed. Where Original Six teams and Canadian teams play for the Cup every year, where the WHA still exists, where the occasional player still goes helmetless by choice, where all children lace up their skates and head out to the nearest frozen pond every day after school, where expansion to the Sun Belt never happened, where teams play in tiny markets like Quebec City and Winnipeg and Hartford where fans who show up to games cheer really loudly, when they show up at all.

Yet another minor inconvenience of moving is having to deal with the propane tanks used for gas grills. Now, we've never had a gas grill, so I'm not an expert. I am, however, a decent reader, and I have a lot of friends who help me understand things that I haven't actually experienced. Moving a propane tank can be one more hassle, but I have some tips for making it easier.
I remember back a bjillion years ago, before our first move, when friends were embarking upon their first move. In addition to all the other things they had to do, they had to have their propane tank certified as empty in order to be moved with their household goods. As far as I know, that is still an option, but it is one more thing to do and you have to pay to have it certified empty.
However, there are other choices, as well. As I said, I have not used these myself, so please check all details before you make any decisions!
AAFESPer the AAFES website, they have a program where you can turn in your Blue Rhino tank at a participating AAFES location and receive a rebate form to use when you purchase a new tank at your new location. The rebate is for $20 off the new tank, which brings the price to about the same amount as a refill.
I've asked around, and people are reporting various levels of success with this program. At least one person was unable to turn in the old tank because the location had too many tanks. I don't know if that was a one-time situation, or if there are quotas or limits for each location.
Blue RhinoPer a comment left on a Facebook post, Blue Rhino will rebate up to $20 of the purchase price of a new tank after a move. According to the comment,
We have a program called "Rhino on the Move". This program allows our customer to drop their cylinder off to any of our retailers (only 1 tank per household per move; 2 per Military families). There is no need for a receipt at that time. When you get to your new location, purchase one of our new filled cylinders. Send us the original or a copy of the receipt to:Blue Rhino "Rhino on the Move" Customer Service Department 5650 University Parkway Suite 400 Winston-Salem , NC 27105
We will then mail you a check for $20 to help defray most of the cost between an exchange and the purchase. In most cases, that would put you back at an exchange cost.
If you need additional help, please let us hear from you (1-800-258-7466 Mon-Fri 8-8, Sat 9-6, or Sun 11-5 est. time).
Not to be used on the same purchase, Blue Rhino has a $3 rebate program for any tank purchase. You can find the details at their website.
I called Blue Rhino and talked to a super-cheerful customer service representative who assured me that the Rhino on the Move program still exists, and we can use it. Cool, huh?
ResaleAnother option is to sell your tank to someone else. Details vary by company - with some companies, you're only borrowing the tank and should get a deposit back when you return it. With other companies, you own the tank and are free to sell it to someone else.
In most towns, and especially at a busy military base, there are likely to be people who are looking for a new tank. Base websites, bulletin boards, yard sales, Facebook and Craigslist are all ways that you could find someone in need of a new tank.
During moving season, every dollar counts. Saving money on your new propane tank is one way to keep costs down, and hopefully help with the stress, too! Both the Blue Rhino and resale options are available to non-military, so be sure to let all your moving friends know.

If you find yourself battling with an ongoing sport's injury such as repeated shoulder injury, continuously sore back, or re occurring hamstring trauma, and want to get better once and for all, you must have a basic understanding of soft-tissue injuries. This understanding will help in all aspects of rehabilitation including stretching, aerobic exercise and strength training.
To heal properly you must realize what you are up against. Understanding the different types of sprains and strains and the phases of soft-tissue healing that you cannot avoid, is essential in successful recovery. You may have been diagnosed with a Sprain, which is a tear of ligaments. Strains instead are tears in the muscles and/or their tendons. Both develop trauma to the tissues. A sudden and violent type of injury may result in significant tearing of tissues. A significant trauma and dysfunction may also arise from repeated small tears over a period of time. Either way, the healing process for the tissues is the same.
Chiropractors deal primarily with type I and type II sprains and strains. Grade I tear is diagnosed when tearing of less than 50 percent of the tissue fibers is present. This is the same for ligaments and/or tendons/muscles. Grade II tear means that more than 50 percent of the of the ligament, tendon and muscle tissue fibers is interrupted, but the tissue is not completely broken. A grade I strain is much easier to treat and resolve than a grade II strain.
Chiropractors do not treat grade III and IV tears as they present instability to the area affected, however a chiropractor is able to help you with diagnosis of these more serious traumas and direct you to appropriate surgical specialist.
A Chiropractor can help you with all 3 Phases of soft tissue healing:
Phase One: The Inflammatory Phase, which lasts 48-72 hours. Swelling begins as the blood and toxins from the trauma irritate surrounding tissues. This is the period which is causing most of the pain. The key to controlling this phase is controlling the inflammation. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (RICE) is a must, and by doing this you will also reduce swelling and pain. Early movement with minimal weight-bearing and stress are recommended. You can confirm with your chiropractic doctor the right steps as early as during this stage.A Chiropractor may also help you by treating the associated joints around the trauma area, to regain mobility and relax the muscles.
Phase Two: The Repair Phase, commences after 48-72 hours, and may last for 2 to 3 months. During this period of time, the tissues begin to repair and regain strength. Increases in mild exercise, stretching, strengthening are advised during this phase. Once the tissues have achieved the strength needed to stabilize the area and resist further tearing, you may gradually increase the amount of activity.
Phase Three: The Remodeling Phase starts, when the body redirects the healing towards increasing the strength and orientation of the tissue fibers towards and along the areas of greatest stress. This process can continue for up to two years. This may seem like a long time, but it is a necessary process. During this period however, with proper guidance, you will most likely return to you're sport as if nothing happened.
The great value in a chiropractor's guidance and help, in optimizing this stage and making it as speedy as possible, is easy to understand. If you think about a surgical scar you may have had previously as an example. The scar remains red for a long period of time after surgery. It eventually goes from red to skin color. The red color seen after surgery is the result of capillary vessels in the scar that are supplying the nutrients for healing and remodeling the scar. Once remodeling is complete, the capillaries are absorbed and the red color (blood) will disappear.
Chiropractic care is especially valuable during the remodeling phase. Soft-tissue healing is not a quick process and nor is it perfect. The scars formed during healing are not as functional as the normal tissues. Scars are inflexible and weaker than the original tissue, leaving the area vulnerable to future injury. Chiropractic rehabilitation helps reduce many of these factors, reducing the time of the initial inflammatory process, optimizing the amount of repair during the second phase and minimizing the amount of residual scarring left to the muscle, tendon or ligaments. But even chiropractic alone it is not a complete or perfect cure, which is why we at the Chiropractic Dubai always combine chiropractic with a physiotherapy regime. The key is to start treatment early and provide proper care during each phase in order to achieve the best results.

9 Warm and Stylish Ways to Wear Turtlenecks This Winter
Protect ya neck
Anyone who grew up in the '70s, '80s or early '90s remembers their mothers torturing them with the requisite turtleneck. Though it took a sartorial break for a couple of decades, it's back and chicer than ever. (We've put our mommy issues aside and embraced them wholeheartedly.) Here, nine ways we're styling ours these next few (frigid) months.
RELATED: 5 Slimming Winter Outfits to Keep You From Snowman Status
With a Bold Coat and Crossbody Bag
What's the best way to beat the winter blues? Wearing an in-your-face color that brightens up even the grayest day. Pair a more muted-toned sweater with a standout topper and an on-trend chain-link flap bag. The result: The happiest ensemble this side of December.
RELATED: 31 Statement Coats (That Aren't Another Black Puffer)
With a Bomber Jacket and Skinny Jeans
FYI, bomber jackets are still going strong into 2017. And they're the perfect complement to a chunky turtleneck sweater. Complete the foolproof look with skinny jeans (which are also going strong) and over-the-knee boots, which aren't required but look pretty damn great.
With a Moto Jacket and Miniskirt
Tissue-thin turtlenecks can read a bit prim and proper but certainly not when you toughen them up with accompanying pieces like leather motos and minis. To keep it from swinging too far to the other extreme (i.e., too rock star), stick to coordinating prints and colors (though we'd never say no to a statement bag like this one).
With a Moto Jacket and High-Waisted Pants
For extra-chilly days when you'd rather cover up your legs, swap the skirt for impossibly chic trousers. (You can even keep the tights under the pants for bonus layering.)
With a Trench and Velvet Booties
We've already established that trench coats are total classics, but, as this outfit proves, the timeless style can also look thoroughly modern when worn with one of our favorite trends, statement booties. Bonus points if they're in an equally trendy material like velvet.
With a Maxi Skirt and White Sneakers
Who says maxis are just for warm weather? Not us, and not this stylish lady, who so expertly demonstrates that floor-gazing silhouettes—with simple, tucked-in turtlenecks—can look totally at home in the winter. And if you're worried about looking too fancy, throw on a pair of your favorite white sneakers, which look casual and completely effortless.
RELATED: 5 Ways to Keep Your White Sneakers Looking Like New
With a Slim-Cut Suit
Guys shouldn't get to have all the suiting fun, and this unbelievably chic light pink set proves it. To keep the effect streamlined, stick to matching colors and slim fits, which are a modern and flattering alternative to skirts and dresses.
With Colorful Pants and a Faux-Fur Topper
If it's warm you want, it's warm you're going to get. This look isn't for the faint of heart, but that makes it all the more unicorn-like. Sure, you could wear basic black trousers instead of bright red ones, but we're all about this statement-making pairing of gorgeous color and rich texture, grounded by a basic gray turtleneck.
With Cropped Jeans and Mid-Calf Boots
More of a jeans and T-shirt gal? Look no further than a chunky cable knit, half-tucked into a pair of cropped, raw-edge jeans (which, yes, are still a thing). Complete the outfit with mid-calf boots, which, in addition to looking amazing, cover the bit of your ankles that the pants expose.
