Oh girl -- don't feel bad. Curtain rods are THE most frustrating things to hang in the entire world!! Seriously. The measuring is tedious, and the screws and things that you are given usually aren't of high enough quality to actually hang the freaking things! Just crazy.ReplyDelete
The last time I hung some, I ended up with exhausted arms and a glass of wine half-filled with tears... so yeah. You got this.
They make pressurized curtain rods that just twist to adjust to the length of the window and you don't need ANY tools at all!! Go back and ask them to show you where these are! I know that Home Depot and Lowes definitely have them! And they are CHEAP! You can do it :-)ReplyDelete
but the duvet cover is perfect!!!!! also, when i moved into an apt with my cousin she hung a ton of our stuff one day when i was there... fast forward to a year later when we were moving out. there were holes everrrrrywhere. girl must not have had a leveler with her. so much putty was used.ReplyDelete
curtain rods are annoying that is for sure. sorry I don't live closer I could be your dude - in that I would help you with those things and help you realize we don't need dudes because girls do DIY stuff better anyway! And then once you learn - the dudes that do come in your life will be all like "you know how to do that? that's HOT!"ReplyDelete
I had to laugh, but only because I have found myself in a similar situation. My other half wasn't home and I wanted to prove that I could be useful so I decided to put up those slat curtain things for our sliding glass door. Long story short I was stuck standing on a chair holding up one end of the thing for a good half hour before someone could show up and help me. I guess it was a two person job. Whoops!ReplyDelete
Curtain rods can SUCK IT! Also, I knew my husband was a keeper when he refused to let me carry ANYTHING and fixed my Ikea bed that continuously collapsed on us (and NOT for reasons you'd think; I just didn't put it together right). Hooray for men and their masculine manliness! :)ReplyDelete
This post made me laugh because I have definitely been there with getting stuff set up in a new place. Fortunately for me I think I've always had a guy around to at least do the heavy lifting for me because let's face it: I hate getting sweaty unless I'm working out, and I always move in the summer so there's no avoiding that sweat..thus the need for the dude. However, curtains I've almost always done alone and those are a bitch. Spoiler alert: they never get easier to put up. Womp womp.ReplyDelete

If you happen to have never worked with SubVersion and feel like you would want to play with it a bit?
Well I'd say, download/(compile/)install SubVersion and have your way with it. But what if you just want to fuss around a little bit without the "hassle" of setting up a repository? (Which really isn't that hard at all, really.)
Well you could set up a dummy sourceforge project, google code project or whatever. But you could also set up a trial account at cvsdude.com.
I tried it myself and in my opinion it's more involving to set up then do it locally, but then again SubVersion is familiar teritory for me.
Also if you are willing to trust these guys, you could also outsource your repository management to them. A nice web-interface lets you set up things up. One sweet feature is the abbility to configure path based authorization. This is possible on an Apache hosted subversion repository as well. But then you would need someone able with Apache and SubVersion.

Kauai Community FCU of Lihue, Hawaii, used Miracle Match to bolster its CMN Hospitals donation from a golf tournament. From left are Stan Hollen, president/CEO, CO-OP Financial Services; Jaeda Elvenia, Wilcox Memorial Hospital; Mel Chiba, Kauai Community FCU; and Kent Kikuchi, Wilcox Memorial Hospital.
Every minute, 62 children enter a Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital for treatment, with maladies ranging from asthma and broken bones to birth defects and cancer.
Thanks to the generous support of corporate sponsors, CMN Hospitals can provide comfort, treatment, and hope to millions of sick kids.
Credit unions provide a sterling example. They donated $10 million to CMN Hospitals in 2013 through their fund-raising arm, Credit Unions for Kids—the third-highest total among corporate partners, behind only Walmart and Costco.
CO-OP Financial Services has been an integral part of this effort throughout a 15-year relationship with CMN Hospitals. In the six years since establishing the Miracle Match, CO-OP and participating credit unions have raised more than $16 million.
"CO-OP has shown its dedication to CMN Hospitals through financial support and employee volunteerism," says John Lauck, president/CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, based in Salt Lake City. "The company's commitment is demonstrated at its annual THINK conference, which devotes a substantial part of the program to activities focused on CMN Hospitals."
CO-OP Miracle Match is an annual $1 million matching program that encourages credit unions to create events to raise funds for CMN Hospitals. The dollars raised stay local, supporting the children's hospitals in the service area of the sponsoring credit union.
In 2013, 154 credit unions participated in CO-OP Miracle Match, hosting 174 matched events. The effort raised $3,020,830—including more than $1 million in matching funds—to benefit 98 children's hospitals in 34 states.
"This marks the third year in a row that the combined totals of CO-OP and participating credit unions surpassed the $3 million mark in donations," says Stan Hollen, CO-OP president/CEO and a member of CMN Hospitals Board of Governors since 2010.
For participating credit unions, the CO-OP Miracle Match can have a significant impact.
"Words cannot express what this match has meant to us, Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, and all the patients and families they serve," says Chris Terlinden, marketing director for Palmetto Citizens Credit Union in Columbia, S.C.
"Being able to present an additional sum of money to such a great cause has been amazing," Terlinden adds. "The outpouring of appreciation from the hospital staff and our own members for providing this financial support has truly been overwhelming."
Beyond Miracle Match
In addition to Miracle Match, CO-OP makes donations to CMN Hospitals each year through sponsorships of events such as credit union-hosted golf tournaments, fun runs, and wine auctions.
In 2013, CO-OP introduced a program enabling members of participating credit unions to donate to CMN Hospitals through an add-on debit transaction while using a CO-OP controlled ATM.
CO-OP also supports Shop for Miracles, a charitable event that will take place on International Credit Union Day this fall.
Each time members use their credit union-issued credit or debit card on Oct. 16, participating credit unions will donate 25 cents—or another predetermined amount—to CMN Hospitals. CO-OP will provide matching funds up to $10,000 for approved applicants.
Credit unions can learn more about how CO-OP can help their institutions raise funds for CMN Hospitals by visiting co-opfs.org/miracle-match.

Requesting a Rescore
For multiple-choice questions, your answers are scored and then verified before your scores are reported. Therefore, further rescoring is not offered.
All constructed responses are scored according to standardized procedures. Scorers with relevant professional backgrounds are oriented to these procedures and are carefully monitored during scoring sessions. However, if you wish to have your constructed responses reevaluated, you may request a rescore of this section of your test. There is a fee of $50 per test for this service.
To request a rescore. A request for rescoring must be made in writing and must include your name, the last five digits of your social security number, the test date, and the test name. Mail your request and payment to Evaluation Systems.
Payment must be made by personal check, cashier's check, or money order. Your written request and the correct payment must be postmarked within three months of the score report date.
Resolution. In the event that the rescoring process results in a score alteration, you will be issued a corrected score report, the rescoring fee will be refunded, and your records will be updated. If the original score is confirmed, you will be sent a letter indicating that the score has been confirmed. In this case, your rescoring fee will not be refunded.

Vital Feedback
Many businesses end their marketing efforts once they get the lead. A lot of work goes into generating qualified leads, but the problem often lies in what is done afterward. Tracking the performance of marketing campaigns is only half the job. There is still the matter of how your call center performs when the qualified leads are delivered. Have you ever wondered what your booking percentage is?
Instead of simply handing over the reins once we have generated a qualified lead, we stay with you every step of the way by closely examining call center performance and following up with an objective grading method. Business owners assume that their CSRs are communicating the basic components like greetings, customer information, and gratitude, but how do you actually know?
With our in-house Feedback Theory developed uniquely for the Home Service Industry, we offer solutions for your call center to increase the number of booked leads over the industry. Vital Feedback is based on years of experience working with home service companies and analysis of research data and results.
How It Works
- Qualify New and Repeat Customer Leads
- Randomly Selected Leads are Graded per CSR
- Leads are Graded on the 10 Vital Feedback Points
- Individual Score Cards/CSR Reports
- Performance Benchmarks and Frontline Training Workshops
- Online Coaching Sessions Reveal Lost Opportunities and Areas of Improvement
- Weekly Challenges Keep Feedback Fresh and Provide Incentives
Dealing with customers over the phone, especially when they are frustrated or upset, is very difficult, but it is something that home service companies have to deal with every day. The key is to change the caller's temperament from frustration to trust.
Speaking with potential customers is a delicate art that requires a deep understanding of what makes people tick. You may get calls every day about the same problem and, as a result get numb to your customers' needs. The caller, however, may be experiencing this problem for the very first time and is feeling worried and defeated.
Your customers need empathy, validation, and assurance when they call. An understanding, emotional response to their issue shows them that they matter to you and your company. The job of a CSR is to make sure the caller feels as though they've gotten the right person for the job and will be well taken care of. Simple words of assurance help the customer feel they have called the right company for the job.
Many CSR's feel their responsibility is to answer the phone, answer questions, and be polite. Unfortunately, that is not where the job ends. The CSR is normally the first impression a new caller has of your business. Yes, CSR's should be polite and helpful with their words and tone, but they should also be strategically building and selling company value.
Putting It All Together
Even with all the experience, research, and insights at our disposal, we also know that each CSR is different and needs to be treated as an individual. We help CSR's develop a strategy on the phone that is unique to their talents and help them develop an unconscious skill for converting leads into sales.
Call centers that demonstrate a well-liked and trusted brand image have the best chances of converting leads. By listening, measuring, and constantly improving this aspect of your business, you will improve your customer service and gain a distinctive advantage over your competitors.
We make it fun and easy for CSR's to appropriately maneuver and direct customers' buying decisions using psychology and communication theory. Training opportunities provide the CSR's with empowerment and motivation to raise their individual booking percentage. Not only do CSR's get a rise out of booking a call, they also gain energy and motivation for the next call by spurring customer satisfaction and pleasure.
With rising customer expectations, is your company exceeding expectations or simply providing the commonly expected?

John Maidlow Interiors will be happy to assist you with any of the following professional decorating and design services...
Initial briefing
We encourage clients to contribute their décor and design ideas. Ultimately, the design and decoration of your home should reflect your needs and personality. You should feel entirely happy and comfortable in your surroundings.
The presentations
During the survey of the room, home or workplace a detailed analysis will be made of every aspect of the space discussed. A floor plan will be drawn to scale, to provide us with a basis from which to work out a design solution.
Design solutions will be presented and communicated precisely to the client by means of drawings, samples, photographs and color chips with clear visualizations of every aspect of the intended décor and design. We will always aim to make the space not only practical and workable but also aesthetically pleasing to you, our client.
Design solutions
Depending on the needs of the client, John Maidlow Interiors can provide assistance with the following design needs...
- Space planning
- Electrical planning and layouts
- Lighting planning and layouts
- Floor plans and layouts
- Ceiling detail layouts
Selecting interior materials & finishes
Interior design and decoration involves choosing materials and finishes for floors, walls, and ceilings from amongst thousands of possibilities. Decisions about cupboards, plumbing fixtures, and lighting fixtures are also part of the selection process. With the vast selection of products available on the market, it is difficult to keep up with the products and ideas available. To complicate matters even more, certain suppliers are strictly to the trade, therefore not allowing you to see the full choice available.
The large variety of materials and finishes can make these choices quite a daunting task to do on your own!
Selecting furniture
Because furniture is a major component of interior design and decoration, the choice of furniture will be a very important part of each project. Selecting furniture also involves choosing fabrics for upholstered pieces, which in turn requires looking through fabric books in furniture showrooms, or visiting fabric showrooms in design centers. We have all these items on hand and take the work out of it for you. In most cases we have everything for you in our showroom. On occasion we have to visit appliance showrooms or tile and granite wholesalers. WE GO WITH YOU. You are never told to "go find it" by yourself.
The Interior Designers at John Maidlow Interiors & Other Great Stuff, with their vast knowledge of the furniture, fabric, flooring and related materials can make the decision making process so much easier and so less painful.

Cisplatin is a commonly chemotherapeutic agent that used for treatment of many cancer types including testicular, ovarian, cervical, head and neck, non-small cell lung and lymphoma(1). However, resistance to cisplatin therapy is serious problem for successful treatment (2). In ovarian cancers, more than 70% of patients initially respond to therapy with cisplatin; however, this stabilized the five-year survival rate for ovarian carcinoma population less than 25% (3).
There are many theories to explain platinum resistant activity (4). One of the major mechanisms of resistance to cisplatin is a decreased effective concentration of drug in the cells. Reduction in cisplatin concentration of 20-70% has been observed in cell lines resistant to cisplatin (5). A family of membrane transport proteins has been identified as an implication in this phenomenon. Some reports indicate exposure to cisplatin can cause glycoprotein expression in ovarian cancer cell line (6).
Cisplatin at plasma concentrations down regulates protein expression of copper transporter (Ctr1) in human ovarian carcinoma cell lines (7, 8). In two cell lines, A2780-CP and 2008-C13 over expression of copper transporter ATP7A was shown to be causal for resistance to cisplatin (9). Increased levels of transporter have been observed with decreased lysosomal cellular compartment in the cisplatin-resistant ovarian carcinoma cell line. This cell line also has decreased protein levels of the lysosome associated proteins (10). Although many reporting are about protein content changing in cisplatin resistant cell lines, little is known about structural and conformational protein changing.
There is an increasing interest in the use of FTIR technology in large number of different research. It has been used to investigate biochemical composition of cells (11) and the study of normal and malignant tissue (12-14). These literatures have shown that the FTIR technique can be used to detect a cell phenotype or an illness with a good level of sensitivity.
Molecular difference in sensitive and resistant cell lines by FTIR spectroscopy has not been studied broadly. In this research, we used a FTIR-based assay followed by PCA analysis to look for the resistant specific patterns. This effort demonstrated changes in biochemical index, which can be used for platinum resistant activity.
Cell lines
A2780 (human ovarian carcinoma-sensitive to cisplatin), A2780-CP and C13 (human ovarian carcinoma-resistant to cisplatin) cell lines were obtained from national cell bank of Iran (Tehran, Iran). All cell lines were grown in RPMI-1640 medium and supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, antibiotics: penicillin, streptomycin (all chemicals from Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Cells were maintained at 37°C in humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The medium was replaced every two day.
Cell preparation for spectroscopy
The following procedure was similarly applied for both of sensitive and resistant cell lines. Cells were trypsinized from the original flask and seeded in 25 cm2 flasks with fresh medium to reach the logarithmic phase of growth curve. After that cell were washed twice in saline (0.9% NaCl), suspend and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, then resuspended in saline to obtain a concentration of 1 × 105 cells. 10 μL of each cell suspension was placed on a zinc selenide sample carrier, which was dehydrated in a vacuum cabin (0.8 bar) for approximately 4 min. These plates were then used for FTIR spectroscopy.
FTIR spectroscopy
For FTIR studies, thin dried films of cell suspensions were used on the Zinc selenide window by using a WQF-510 (Rayleigh Optics, China) spectrometer, equipped with a KBr beam splitter and a DLaTGS (deuterated Lantanide triglycine sulphate) detector. The whole system was continuously purged with N2 (99.999%). In each spectrum, 100 scans were collected at a resolution of 4 cm-1 for every wave number between 400 and 4000 cm-1. These experimental conditions were kept constant for all the measurements. Each single spectrum was baseline corrected and then normalized in order to have the range spanning from 0 to 1.
Data analysis
Data set
A total of 45 FTIR spectrums between 1000-3000 cm-1 have been used in this study as the dataset. Distribution of different FTIR spectra was equal for types of A2780, A2780-CP and C13 cell lines.
Principle component analysis
Principle component analysis (PCA) is a well-known method of dimension reduction. The basic idea of PCA is to reduce the dimensionality of a data set, while retaining as much as possible the variation present in the original predictor variables. This is achieved by transforming the p original variables X = [x1, x2,..., xp] to a new set of q predictor variables, T = [t1, t2,...,tq], which are linear combinations of the original variables. In mathematical terms, PCA sequentially maximizes the variance of a linear combination of the original predictor variables (15). PCA were done using defaults of the program's parameters. A total of the FTIR output as absorbance percent in different wave number between1000-3000 cm-1 have been used for input.
Result and Discussion
Spectrum alteration
Spectral features of A2780, A2780-CP and C13 cell lines are shown in Figure 1 for the region of 1800-900 cm-1. The normalized FTIR spectra in this region showed alterations in different spectrum areas. Comparison between spectra showed at least five areas of variation:
Figure 1. FTIR spectral features of A2780, A2780-CP and C13 cell lines in 1800-900 cm-1.
a) there is a peak about 1636 cm-1 which can be related to β-sheet secondary structure of amid I (16). In the ovarian human resistant cells the peak of about 1636 cm-1 shifted toward the lower wave numbers. This may represent the possibility of molecular interaction in β-sheet conformation structure of ovarian sensitive cells.
b) The vibration band at 1530 cm-1 is assigned to β-sheet secondary structure of amid II (17). In A2780-cp cell line; there is a broadband at 1530 cm-1 while there are two bands at 1530 and 1540 cm-1 in the sensitive cell line. There are positive shoulder peaks at 1540 cm-1 and a peak at 1530 cm-1 in C13. The bands at 1540 cm-1 are assigned to α-secondary structure of amid II (18). This can be showed clear margin of α-secondary and β-sheet structure of amid II in sensitive cell while in the C13 resistant cell the reduction of α-secondary structure of amid II was observed. The result shows α-secondary structure conversion to β-sheet structure conformation in the C13 resistant cell.
c) The vibration bands at 1240 cm-1 are assigned to amid III (17). In the ovarian human resistant cells the peak of about 1240 cm-1 shifted toward the lower wave numbers. This shows the addition of molecular interaction in amid III structure of ovarian sensitive cell.
d) The vibration band at 1380 cm-1 is assigned to glycoprotein (18). There is a peak at this band in the A2780 cell line spectra while in the C13 and A2780-CP cell lines shifted toward the lower wave numbers.
e) There are positive shoulder peaks at 1407 cm-1 and 1330 cm-1 in the sensitive cell line while there aren't in the ovarian human resistant cells.
The normalized FTIR spectra of A2780, A2780-CP and C13 cell lines are shown in Figure 2 for 3100-2500 cm-1. The CH stretching region(3000-2800 cm-1) contains the asymmetric and symmetric membrane lipids (20), which are appeared differently in sensitive and resistant cells.

CH2 symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibration bands are appeared at 2920 and 2852 cm-1 and CH3 stretching vibrations at 2950 cm-1, respectively (20). Our results show that CH2 symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibration bands shift to higher wave numbers in resistant cells. This might be as the result of condensation of the unsaturated lipid cell membrane. In sensitive cell line the intensity of CH2 stretching bands and CH3 stretching vibrations are higher than resistant cell line. Our research shows that the lipophilicity of cell membrane has been changed in the resistant cells.
Data processing
Unsupervised methods such as PCA attempt to explore the data to detect relationships without any presumption on the priority of the various data. These methods identify groups of data elements that are highly correlated with each other. In this study PCA can be used to extract the most significant variations between groups of spectra of cells. Thus, determining an unknown cell type from several possibilities cells can be completed using spectra from known cell types. Score plots provide visualization of the data, whereby the load of data is an indicator of biochemical similarity (21).
Data of A2780, A2780-cp and C13 cell lines sorted into data sets composed of 45 variables. FTIR wave number from 1000 to 3000 cm-1 was used in four segmentation of 1000-1500 cm-1 , 1500-2000 cm-1, 2000-2500 cm-1 and 2500-3000 cm-1. There are no suitable clustering with PCA for four segmentation of data set (Data was not shown).These result show, the lipid stretching region (2500-3000 cm-1) and protein band (20) region (1500-2000) could not discriminate the cell type.
The data of the cell lines between 1000 and 3000 cm-1 were analyzed with PCA resulting in the clustered shown in Figure 3. The cluster of points derived from the first two PC scores which summarized spectral features of three cell lines are shown in a 2-dimensional projection. PCA correctly classified 96% of all spectra using two PCs and thus provide a good separation for representing the variety of sensitive and resistant cell line spectra. The data of the resistant cells are in the central area of PCA projection while it could not be distinguished between resistant cells. There aresimilarities between the resistance cell lines of A2780-CP and C13 spectrum, which could not discriminate using this technique. Thus the molecular compositions of two different resistant cell lines which cause resistance to cisplatin might almost be similar.

Loadings plots allow for identification of wave numbers and corresponding biochemical responsibility. Figure 4 shows the loading plot of PC1 resulted from the FTIR spectra of these cell lines. This figure clearly shows that the variables from of Amid I and Amid II bands (18) strong loadings contributing to the separation of sensitive and resistant cell lines.

Resistance to Chemotherapy is a serious hurdle in the treatment plan of cancer. That is why identification of resistant cells at the procedure of a patient treatment saves time and is very much critical for the therapy outcome. The FTIR spectra provide a unique molecular fingerprint that can be interpreted based on the macromolecular biochemistry of the cells. This study suggests that infrared spectroscopy and clustering of data with PCA may represent a simple and precise method for discrimination biochemical pattern of resistant in cell lines. One of the advantages of this tool is to investigate the resistant percent of cancer cells using FTIR. Such technique may bring new tool in cancer diagnosis and stage definition in cancerous tissues. The FTIR data set between 1000 and 3000 cm-1 in resistant and sensitive cells correctly classified by PCA model This region of FTIR data could be consumed as "Biochemical typicality spectra" among resistant and sensitive cell lines. In this region amid I and amid II molecules band have higher difference in sensitive and resistant cells.

I am going to stroll you via every little thing you want to know about holding a wedding, celebration, or particular event beneath a tent, from sizing, kinds of tents, accessories you want (and some you never), making your tent comfy regardless of the climate, and more. Costs are extremely reasonable at normal prices and the sale rates are phenomenal. Often embellished with LED lights and Swarovski crystals, these dresses supply a really intriguing mixture of contemporary brands and technology with caricatures of seventeenth century silhouettes. A really formal wedding might inspire him to wear a conventional matador outfit consisting of a bolero jacket and fitted pants. As a wedding florist, I saw a lot of lovely images taken from bridal magazines that included designs or flowers that would not last via a wedding ceremony.
The Knot displays a selection of dresses for all price ranges, from high-finish, pricey dresses to cost-effective, low cost wedding dresses. Great photos and explanation in detail, each wedding ceremonies, Cambodian and Western, have been delightful to study about and see. Of course, we can not neglect the easy elegance of Kate Middleton's lace wedding gown. What's far more, every single gown from Alfred Angelo, which includes each and every of our classic wedding dresses, is accessible in sizes -26W to match brides of every shape and size.
As a nearby wedding arranging and photography company, we often get asked about our favorite wedding venues in St Petersburg, Florida The answer depends on a lot of elements – each couple is different, and will have extremely diverse requirements for their St Pete wedding venue. If you are a bride-to-be, you're reading this because you are sensible bride you 're searching for techniques to save and you do not want to waste funds for overly priced wedding products or services. If you stick to the standard wedding cake design and style which is having round or square layers, the bottom layer of your wedding cake will be the largest and every layer after will decrease in size.
Though I am only 22 on the inside, my physique has grown into significantly over 50. These dresses are beautiful! Many people think that wedding dresses available for rent are utilised, dingy, old styles from 30 years ago. The wax skull I've owned considering that the 80's and the statue in the wedding dress represents our bond, not a need to discover a mate. Very fitting for a medieval, fantasy wedding and a cross in between Buttercup's Blue Gown that she wears throughout the movie and also her Wedding Dress.
Also you will need to have to budget time the day ahead of the wedding for oneself or another person who will decorate the venues with the flowers. Brides wore wedding dresses in various colors and it was only after Queen Victoria's wedding (1840) white became a common color. Be realistic and shop around and do lot of analysis prior to buying anything for your wedding. A beautiful strapless dress with a demure jacket for a real princess appear on your wedding day. Right here are a few tongue-in-cheek pointers from a wedding veteran who has been to more weddings than I can keep in mind and even planned a single of my own.

Saturday (9/29/2018), I ran one of my favorite trails, that happens to be located in the front yard of the Snow Troopers home base! This one, I like to call the Gold Creek Circumnavigation, starts out one half of a mile before Laura Lake and finishes apx 21+ miles at the PCT North TH, on Snoqualmie Pass. I have always had great company on this big day and this time my company was my new running partner, Allison, who is newly transplanted from Louisiana. A few weeks ago, we ran the Enchantments' through hike, so I was excited to see how Allison thought the Gold Creek Circumnavigation stacked up for views and challenging terrain. Unfortunately, I messed up my Gaia tracking, so I am bummed to have not captured the stats. However, I want to say it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 miles+ and apx 6K of vert. Either way, it's a big day for this Snow Trooper and Allison had made the comment that it was harder than the Enchantment through run. We caught some nice Fall colors, along with views of the following lakes; Laura, Lillian, Keechulus, Rampart (5 lakes), Rachel, Lila (2 lakes), Alta tarn, Kachess, Parks (2 lakes), Joe, Lehma, Alaska, Ed, Ridge and Gravel. Great run that gives you a beautiful lake to view on an average of 1 per mile. Winter's coming and the trail running shoes are about to get stashed 'til June… We hope! 🙂
The music backing this video was sent to us the other day from our friends "Larry and His Flask", we are super stoked as the tune works perfectly with our Fall run. Please visit this site to purchase the brand spanking new album and be sure to check them out on their upcoming tour,"This Remedy"! Today(10/12/13) is the album's release date, so get your download ,"HERE".
Below is a trip around Gold Creek, in less than 5 minutes… Enjoy, and think SNOW!

Apple Pay vs Google Wallet – Battle For Becoming The Best Payment Platform
13 May. 2015 Mobile App
Google and Apple are in a constant battle to win customers by delivering multi-channel services and products. The latest battle currently being fought is to become the best mobile payment platform. This article helps you understand which platform – Google or Apple would be the best fit for you.
Mobile devices from Google & Apple have empowered their user base by simplifying the process of purchase through payment technologies like NFC and contact less payment terminals. NFC technology allows users to make a payment from their respective mobile devices by simply tapping their phone near a payment terminal, without the use of a credit or debit cards for making a transaction.
Battle of Supremacy Amongst Mobile Wallet Applications
Currently, to use this technology from Google & Apple platforms, users first need to register their credit card information on Google Wallet and Apple Pay. This information is stored on the respective platform's server and users are requested to authenticate themselves before performing any financial transaction.
Google Wallet has taken the first mover advantage in the battle and has already received huge public acceptance and support. Apple's mobile payment system, on the other hand, being the late entrant is trying to get a foothold in the market and may take some time to be accepted by the users. A major reason for Google Wallet's increased usage is its vast ecosystem of android devices. In addition many dealers have started offering sales terminals that supports contact less payments.
Both the payment platforms have their unique authentication methods. Google follows the widely accepted 4-Digit pin authentication method, whereas Apple uses biometric feature of its hardware device through touch ID. The authentication process is then succeeded by a step that redirects the user to a bank's site to confirm their identity and allows/declines the transaction
How Easy It Is To Setup Mobile Payment?
A user can easily add a card to its Google Wallet or Apple Pay by following any of these steps.
- For Google Wallet, the user can either sign in through its website, use the setting menu from the mobile app or log in through the bank website.
- The easiest way to setup Apple Pay is associating it with the user's iTunes account where the credit or debit cards are already added. Users can also take a photo of their card or can enter the card information manually to add a new card.
Are They Secure?
Security is the most crucial part for any online transaction. Both Google Wallet and Apple Pay do not disclose the credit card information of customers with the merchants, granting a higher level of security. To process the payment, merchants are given a one-time code to process the customer transaction.
Apple uses touch ID authentication process for user identification, and is more secure and reliable than Google's Pin authentication feature. Apple stores the payment details on the iPhone and Google maintains on its own server in the cloud. Thus, both the platforms deliver enhanced security to its users.
Which Mobile Devices Are Currently Supported?
Google Wallet currently supports a wide range of android devices as all latest android devices have built in NFC hardware, but Apple Pay only works on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. iPhones older than iPhone 6 do not have a build in NFC hardware, but can be accessed through Apple Watch. It also supports iPad Air 2 & iPad Mini 3. In sheer numbers Google is in lead as it supports any android device with 4.4 KitKat or higher version to deliver mobile payment service.
Are Users Accepting Google Wallet and Apple Pay?
Users are happier with Apple Pay, as it is more convenient to authenticate their identity using the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, without unlocking their phone. Whereas Google Wallet requires users to first unlock their devices and then process the payment by entering a 4-digit PIN for authenticating user identity. Thus, users find Apple Pay a more convenient and faster payment platform as compared to Google Wallet.
Conclusion – Which Is a Better Mobile Payment?
The answer to this question is not that straightforward. Both the platforms have their respective strength and weaknesses. Google has a wider reach with its large user-base whereas Apple is one up with its ease of use and security feature. Thus, it depends on the users to choose the better suited option of the two. Although your options don't end here.
There are other players in the market that might have features more ideally suited for your business need. Here is one such post with more payment options.

Nine Tough Questions That Your Board Will Ask
Admit it: You get a case of the butterflies before you make a formal presentation to your organization's board of directors. That's fine—and perfectly natural. After all, you'll never gain a complete sense of certainty about what exactly those board members will ask you. Frankly, some will grill you, driving directly to the make or break issues that determine whether tech can adequately contribute to the organization's success. And sometimes these members—not to mention your CEO—don't even need a formal setting to ask them. There are informal moments, like a by-chance interaction in the office building or a corporate social event, when you may need to address these concerns, so it pays to be prepared at all times. To lend guidance, McKinsey & Company has produced the following do-or-die tech inquires to expect from board members. They seem perfectly valid, especially since McKinsey reports that large IT projects run 45 percent over budget and 7 percent over time, while delivering 56 percent less value than predicted. Ouch! Perhaps that's why they're putting you on the hot seat. For more about McKinsey's report, click here.

text: David Attenborough asks three key questions. How and why did Charles Darwin come up with his theory of evolution? Why do we think he was right? And why is it more important now than ever before? David concludes that we now understand why there are so many species, and why they are distributed the way they are. But above all, Darwin has shown that we are not set apart from the natural world and do not have dominion over it. We are subject to its laws and processes, as are all other animals on earth to which, indeed, we are related. Presented by David Attenborough. Produced by Sacha Mirzoeff.

Dentophobia is a condition that causes people to fear going to the dentist. Approximately 5% to 8% of American adults never go to the dentist because of their fears, and around 20% of people go only when they absolutely have to. If you fear going to the dentist, you probably have dentophobia, and you could easily pass this on to your kids if you are not careful. Understanding the major reasons people experience dentophobia can help you avoid passing this condition on to your children. Here are three top reasons people fear dentists and dental work.
Pain And Discomfort
Very few people find dental work enjoyable and fun. In fact, pain is one of the top reasons people avoid going. Getting your teeth cleaned might not be extremely painful, but it can be uncomfortable. Getting a cavity filled or any other type of dental procedure can be somewhat painful though.
If your kids overhear you talking about how painful going to the dentist can be, they may instantly seize up with fear. They will not want to go to a place that will inflict pain on them, and they certainly will not want to get shots.
To prevent passing on dentophobia to your kids, you will need to avoid talking about the pain you have felt during dental visits. You must keep the subject positive by saying good things about the dentist, even if you do not necessarily feel that way.
Bad Experiences
Many people also have dentophobia because of bad experiences they have had in the past, and there are a variety of ways this can happen. Here are some examples:
The best way to help your kids avoid dentophobia is to ensure that they do not have bad experiences while at the dentist. You can do this by avoiding telling stories of your bad experiences, and by choosing a dentist that is experienced, reputable, and good at what he or she does.
Embarrassment About Mouth
Finally, many people fear the dentist because of embarrassment. They are often embarrassed by the way their teeth look or by the problems they have with their teeth, and they may have received lectures from dentists in the past. No one wants to go to the dentist and get lectured about these things, yet it can happen.
To prevent your kids from going through this, you can insist on good oral habits. As a parent, you will need to make sure your kids are cleaning their teeth properly and thoroughly. You may also want to limit the sweets they eat so they can prevent cavities and other dental problems. With good oral habits, your kids might be able to prevent the embarrassment you have felt about your teeth over the years.
If you want your children to grow up without the fear of going to the dentist, it's up to you to start this out right. You must stay positive about it, and you should work hard to help your kids develop great oral habits from the time they are young. If you would like to learn more about dental work and overcoming dentophobia, contact a dentist today or click here for more information.Share

Club Referee is an initial step in the pathway to becoming a squash referee in New Zealand. The requirement to become a Club Referee is to score 90% or better in the Squash New Zealand Officiating Examination.
Results will be displayed upon completing the exam. Results will include which questions were answered correctly or incorrectly. Candidates are able to re-submit examinations for marking as many times as is needed for success.
Club referees can be expected to referee matches up to their own playing level, but may be able to do higher levels depending on experience and ability. It must be recognised that no practical assessment is completed for a club referee, and successful candidates should therefore be confident but still take care with the level of matches they choose to referee.
The Club Referee qualification is valid for two seasons i.e. the season you sit the exam and the following season.
Complete the form below, select register and you will be taken to the online exam.
If you are a parent or a non-player then please just put Casual in the player code area.

The ADJ court no 11 of Judge Kailash Chandra Mishra had reserved the order for Thursday after the hearing was completed. But, due to the indisposition of the judge, the order has been postponed to Monday.
According to ex-royals, the land taken over by JDA has been declared as royal property by a lower court decree in 2011. But the JDA claims that the said decree has been challenged in the high court and pending disposal.
In 1972, the government had acquired 65 bighas and 16 biswas out of 120 bighas of land around the hotel and issued an award to this effect in 1993. But it was challenged at additional sessions court which granted an injunction in favour of the royals in November 24, 2011.
Instead of complying with the decree, JDA had forcefully taken possession of the land, argued the ex-royals in court.

So!... How does a guy who's a painting contractor end up building a web site, especially when the web site he builds gives away free painting and decorating advice. One would think that when it comes to business decisions giving away the company secrets is in most cases not on the to do list of your average business owner.Hi, my name is Shawn, and I live in a small farming community called Bow Island. Bow Island is about three hours or so out side of Calgary Alberta, Canada, those of you who are winter Olympics or rodeo fans will have heard of Calgary. My little town is just between the cities of Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, Alberta. I've been making a living in the painting and decorating industry for a long time and was doing well up until our community was hit by drought and then BSE came along. In the beginning mad cow disease (what BSE is commonly known as) didn't effect my business but my wife owned a local department store. Retail sales started to slow down right away. For the first little while my income was pulling us through, what we thought would be a small dip in our take home pay. Well as you can guess, it didn't work out that way. A good many of our customers for both my wife's store and my painting business where farmers and ranchers and in no time both our businesses where starting to feel the pinch.
Good, bad - or in between.
My wife and I understood that we needed to do something to fix the loss of income so we moved her store to a building with cheaper overhead. She reduced the store hours, and took on two more jobs. My business in time recovered but we did end up closing the store. Anyways, one day I didn't have a painting project scheduled so I decided to go along with my wife to the city of Lethbridge.I like to read, novels, poetry, cereal boxes it doesn't really matter to me. I'm one of those people who has the constant desire to learn. From Shakespeare to old recipes, no mater what the subject I can usually find something of interest in most printed material. While in the city I went to one of those mega book stores. If your a book lover like myself, you know what it's like to walk into a big old monster building full of paperbacks, hard covers and magazines. I wandered the isles looking at this and that, not really staying in one section to long. After about an hour, I found a chair and sat down. While sitting I saw a book that looked interesting, so I walked over and picked it up.
Researching what to do.
Now, I'm not a computer guy and this book discussed how to build a web site for your business. In fact, the book talked not only about bringing in more customers by building a web site but also suggested using the site itself to accumulate a little extra cash. Well at that time I was definitely interested in more customers and even if the site didn't supply me with a few more paint jobs I thought building a Site for my painting business would at least give me something to do when I wasn't painting, so I bought the book.After taking the book home and reading it, I realized the first thing I needed to do, was to get more familiar with the computer. The first time I used a type writer was in junior high school, I barely knew how to switch on a monitor, never mind using the computer to bring in more work and make some extra money.
What the heck is www.
With my little blue site building book in hand and a certain amount of apprehension, I used my son's computer and began the process of learning a little more about the world wide web. With the help of the book and by applying a keystroke or two, I found a search engine and began what I thought would be my path to wealth and fortune.
"Ok maybe not fortune but a little wealth sure wouldn't hurt ".
Using dial up eternity, along with the Goggle search box, I was transported to information overload. "Build your own web site" and "Make money on the web" it seems are very popular subjects. How does one choose? Where should a non net savvy guy like me start? I realized that I was going to need some more guidance from my little blue book.The book offered a number of www's to assist me in my path to building a site and starting an internet business.
Finding the answer.
I typed a few URLs (web site addresses) into the search box and was surprised to find a recurring notice. Site not found. It didn't take long to realize the vast amount of web knowledge acquired from my newly purchased little blue book, was out of date. I'm not saying all the sites I looked for were gone, but the sites that did come up, after typing their internet address in the search box, looked alarmingly like some kind of scam or rip off. All except one, and it was one that I had almost missed. Dr, Ken Evoy's SiteSell. I key stroked the URL in and there he was. Sure enough, this Dr. Ken fellow said It was possible to create a site, whether I had an existing business or not and if the web site I built was created around a passion or subject I was familiar with, I would make money but, there was a catch, it wouldn't happen over night. In fact, he claimed a good amount of effort was needed on my part. The page explained that I'd have to do some reading and be able to write content, more content, then throw in a little bit extra content.
Writing was definitely not what I would consider as one of my strong points but SiteSell did offer a
Net Writing Masters course,
that I could down load for free.Even after reading the Net Writing Masters course, I still held off on purchasing the course (it was a little on the expensive side for me). I was still interested in building a web site, SiteSell did have the opportunity to download a free copy of the
SBI Action Guide,
the guide is an instruction manual that SBI (SiteBuild) owners use, to build web sites. After reading the action guide I realized that If I wanted to make money from my own web site, I was going to have to learn about affiliates. SiteSell offered a free
Affiliate Masters Course,
so, I decided, "what the heck", I might as well read that to.Now, you may find this hard to believe but if you read all the free courses I mention above, and follow the instructions in them, you will have the tools, to be able to build a money making web site of your choice and end up not giving SiteSell a single cent. Why would they do that you ask? Well it takes me back to the beginning of this page where I talk about giving away the company secrets. I along with SiteSell hope that by offering you something for free, you will in turn purchase from me or them, when your looking for an item you need, and we just happen to sell.
So, when I found out that I was going to require a web site host (and if you build a website you will need a host) and after checking SBI's (SiteBuild)
Case Studies page,
along with there
Results section,
I ended up choosing SiteSell for the job. Selecting SiteSell as my host meant that I would also get there site building program (SiteBuildit), along with a number of other goodies, all of which helped me to easily create my web business.
You on the other-hand may go with another host and site building company. In the end, it's all up to you, as to how your going to build your internet business. Even so, I'm sure once you
compare SBI to other web site building programs
you will see that the SiteSell site building system has an assortment of extras that you just don't get from other web site building companies.
So?... How's it going now Shawn….
…well as I mentioned earlier, my painting business is doing very well and it now gives me the opportunity to work a little more on my web site. As far as the web site business goes, I'm making money from it and no one is more surprised than me. Not enough to retire from mind you but definitely more than a little extra cash.Since you have read this far, I think you should get a free-be.

I realize that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, and I know that we aren't always right. But does anyone really equate today's jihadists and what they fight for with the minutemen at Lexington Green or Concord Bridge and what they fought for?
I know that we don't always do the right thing, and that when we try to do the right thing we don't always do it the right way. But let's not get into any silly moral equivalence games over it. (via Free Republic)

Category Archives: Dark Comedy
The Family (2013)
My Rating : 2.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "The crime family part was quite fine, but the mafia part was a little Godfather retro and I've no idea why."
In the off-beat action comedy "The Family," a mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob.
Despite the best efforts of Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert DeNiro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson (Taken, Transporter).
Welcome to the Jungle (2013)
My Rating : 1.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "The first 15 minutes made me feel that this was a big mistake. Why the Van Damme?"
A group of unsuspecting office workers find themselves stranded on a desert island when a corporate retreat led by unhinged former Marine Storm Rothchild (Jean-Claude Van Damme) goes horribly wrong.
Now Chris (Adam Brody) and his co-workers must battle nature — and each other — to survive! Welcome to the Jungle is a hilarious journey into the heart of madness also featuring Rob Huebel, Kristen Schaal, Dennis Haysbert, and Megan Boone.
The World's End (2013)
My Rating : 4/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "I don't know why, but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost undoubtedly make a good pair in each and every alien movie they act. I love the dialogues, the delivery and every stupid comedy they come up with." #beinghonest
Five lifelong friends reunite to complete a historic pub crawl from their youth, and find that reaching the fabled World's End tavern will be no simple undertaking while they also fight for the future of all mankind.
Twenty years ago, Gary King (Simon Pegg) and his pals embarked on the ultimate drinking marathon. But the beer got the best of them, and they failed to drink their final pint at the World's End pub. Now, as die-hard rebel Gary approaches middle age, he summons his old friends back to their hometown for another round.
With each pint down, Gary and the gang take another step toward reconciling with the past. Yet just when it starts to look like their goal is in sight, the pals realize that a much larger struggle is currently taking place, and that the future seems particularly grim — not only for them, but for the entire human race. Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike co-star in the final chapter of Edgar Wright's "Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy," which began with 2004's Shaun of the Dead and continued in 2007's Hot Fuzz.
Stand Up Guys (2013)
My Rating : 3.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "3 big old actors performing on one big screen is truly a feast to the mind and soul!!"
Val (Al Pacino) is released from prison after serving twenty-eight years for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up, and the two soon re-team with another old pal, Hirsch (Alan Arkin).
Their bond is as strong as ever, and the three reflect on freedom lost and gained, loyalties ebbed and flowed, and days of glory gone by. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret- he's been put in an impossible quandary by a former mob boss, and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out.
As the sun rises on the guys' legendary reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their past once and for all.
Horrible Bosses (2011)
My Rating : 3.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "The plot is something new and the cast was amazing. There were some places where stuff went out of pace!"
For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston) into dust.
Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers… permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
The Hangover 2 (2011)
My Rating : 2.5/5 STAR
MovieStudio Quote >> "Never expect for more. H2 is slow, more violent and vulgar. There is no element of surprise at all."
In The Hangover Part II, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch.
However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.
Four Lions (2010)
My Rating : 4/5 STAR
MovieStudio Quote >> "The movie is the truth, but it's so funny to be seriously true. See it.!"
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.
In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while
terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots.
Death at a Funeral (2010)
My Rating: 3.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "Laughed my lungs out, a must see dark comedy!"
Directed by Neil LaBute, "Death at a Funeral" is a hilarious day in the life of an American family come together to put a beloved husband and father to rest.
As mourners gather at the family home, shocking revelations, festering resentments, ugly threats, blackmail and a misdirected corpse unleash lethal and riotous mayhem. Remake of the 2007 British film of the same name.
Mini's First Time (2006)
My Rating: 4/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "A sensual dark comedy with brilliant performances by Alec and Nikki!"
"Mini's First Time," starring Nikki Reed, proves that having it all comes at a steep price. Mini has a deep loathing for her embittered gold digging mother, Diane (Carrie-Anne Moss). But, Mini has an idea: she is going to follow in the footsteps of her dear mother and get what she wants, when she wants it.
The first and most important step is becoming the apple of her very rich stepfather's (Alec Baldwin) eye. With a little coaxing, she persuades him that life would be a lot more fun without mom around.
