text: Interventional Radiology Interventional Radiology is a relatively new specialty that treats patients by using minimally invasive, radiography-assisted techniques utilizing small catheters and catheter-based instruments. The majority of these procedures are performed without the need for large surgical incisions or general anesthesia. For patients, this means less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to traditional surgical procedures. Interventional Radiology was first introduced during a "transluminal angioplasty" to open blocked arteries of the legs, which was an alternative treatment for traditional surgical arterial re-vascularization. During the next 20 years, physicians in the United States and Europe further developed their techniques, perfecting them to include treatment options for a variety of arterial and venous conditions for all parts of the body. Click here for a list of interventional radiology procedures.

In Transit(ion)
I have these moments where my brain freezes, and I find myself hoarding thoughts and words like a little kid with Halloween candy. Sometimes those moments last for months. This is one of those moments.
I have a tendency to wait for perfection. I sit on photos for weeks, fiddling with the edits and wondering whether they're really worth showing anyone. I meticulously plan meal and workout regimens and then never do them. It takes me forever to craft emails and text messages, especially ones that I think are crucial tidbits of communication.
This is not a story that is unique to me, I know. But it is something I desperately need to overcome, because it hinders me from actually living and sharing and doing the plethora of things I want to do; things that would be healthy and fulfilling and happy-making.
I am in a really weird place right now. I am twenty-eight years old, newly and unplanned-ly single, and living with my parents in my childhood bedroom in my hometown. All of my belongings - literally everything I own - are stacked up on top of each other in piles around my room. When I first arrived, bedraggled and not giving a shit, I simply dumped everything in a heap and carved a path from the door to my dresser; a couple of days ago, I finally cleaned out some drawers, gave a whole bunch of belongings away, and now there are a few more visible patches of carpet.
My life is in transition, which is a romantic concept until you are actually in it. Some days I feel like nothing can stop me, and then there are the mornings when I can hardly make myself open my eyes. But that's kind of how life is in general, isn't it? Nothing is completely static; there is always some sort of transition happening, even in the most subtle ways. I am not the first one to have this experience, nor will I be the last. The most paradoxical part of this whole thing is feeling like I don't have any control, when in reality, this is the time in my life when I probably have the most control I'll ever have. Free and easy down the road I go, and all that.
I have a massive backlog of photos and thoughts that I want to share, and my perfectionism has kept me from doing so, because it whispers to me that I need some kind of schedule, some kind of plan, something to make it all look neatly organized and like I have my shit together. But guess what? I don't have my shit together. I don't really think any of us do, in the grand scheme of things. So I'm going to take Austin Kleon's advice and show my work. Show my mess, share the process, and be open and vulnerable along the way, because trying to seem put-together is exhausting, and impossible, and who wants to be friends with someone who has everything figured out, anyway? Not me.
The photos in this post are from a looooong day of driving east across the entire state of California, from the coast to Truckee, near Lake Tahoe and the Nevada border. It was all trees and mountains and clouds and turquoise river bends, for miles and miles, and it was utterly gorgeous. Curving along a deep river canyon surrounded by towering pines shrouded by fog is not a shabby way to get some quality alone time. Take my word for it.
More to come. Happy Sunday, friends.

aBOUT THE Denver Law Review
The Denver Law Review is the flagship journal of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. The Denver Law Review strives to publish articles of the highest quality in all areas of the law. The Denver Law Review has proudly featured such distinguished authors as U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, William O. Douglas, and Byron White, noted constitutional law scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader. The Denver Law Review actively seeks submissions from professors, practitioners, and judges from all practice areas.
The Denver Law Review publishes four issues annually. Two of the issues contain articles of general legal interest, while one of the issues focuses exclusively on the law of the 10th Circuit. The fourth issue contains articles drawn from the Law Review's annual symposium. In 2008, the Review also published a special fifth issue discussing the historic 2008 Presidential Campaign and the election of President Barack Obama.
The Denver Law Review is one of the oldest legal journals in the United States. The Denver Law Review dates back to 1923, when its predecessor, the Denver Bar Association Record, began publication. In 1928, the name of the publication was changed to Dicta. The journal was published under that name until 1963, when it became the Denver Law Center Journal. It became the Denver Law Journal in 1966, and the Denver University Law Review in 1985. Finally, the journal became the Denver Law Review in 2015.
Denver law Review Online fORUM
Technology's role in legal scholarship is rapidly expanding. DLR Online was envisioned as a readily accessible, fleet-footed supplement to the Denver Law Review. The forum combines the agility of a legal blog with the analysis of a traditional law review article. Many of the posts provide immediate updates on emerging legal issues; others provide more substantive analysis in a shorter format than might appear in a traditional print journal. All of the content is designed to promote discussion of important legal issues and to aid in the development of new ideas.
DLR Online focuses in four areas. First, DLR Online provides a platform for members of the Colorado Bar to discuss issues arising in their area of practice. Second, DLR Online extends the Denver Law Review's annual 10th Circuit Survey issue by posting our editors' take on recent decisions, from both state and federal courts sitting in Colorado. Third, we periodically host online symposia discussing pressing legal issues. And finally, we preview our forthcoming print issues by posting summaries of our upcoming articles.
For inquiries, please contact either our Senior Forum Editor, Emily Mendoza (email@example.com) or our Forum Editor, Matthew Grossi (firstname.lastname@example.com). Our preferred citation is 97 Denv. L. Rev. F. (2019), available at www.denverlawreview.org.

The last uptrend of the stock is due primarily to the preliminary consolidated results at 31 December 2016 : results over the expectations of the analysts. The good results are related to the new acquisitions of Sacci and Compagnie des Ciments Belges that worsened the net financial debt.
On like-to-like basis, the results would have been stable or decreasing.
|Cementir Holding, Investor Relations, Press Releases
From this point of view, the growth through acquisitions is a focus for the business.
According to me, it will be the likely growth engine for the coming years.
History is there to prove it. The strategy is always the same : organic and external growth thanks to the numerous acquisitions over the years, with a low dependence on the domestic market (about 10% of the revenues). See the image below.
|Cementir Holding, Group Profile
|Cementir Holding, Investor Relations, Press Releases
About the fundamentals, the price is pretty interesting although the expectations could be flat/conservative (mainly, about the margins). With the 2017 expected results : P/S 0.65 X ; EV/SALES 1.07 X ; EV/EBITDA 6.20 X ; P/E 12 X ; P/B 0.7 X.
|Reuters Consensus
|Charts from Investing.com
|Charts from Investing.com
In the meantime, the uptrend is too strong in a short time : about +30% with five trading sessions. The volatility is high (in the high range of the BB), RSI is overbought, there is a gap down to cover. There will be a physiological price correction, probably.

Best Pre and Post Cycling Food
While it is true that cycling or doing any other cardio workout on an empty stomach can burn major calories, it can also result in a lower intense workout that may not yield the results you're looking for. Whether your goals are weight loss, competing for better time or distance or just simply to get healthier, it is very important to make sure your body is fueled both before and after your ride. Here are a few suggestions for both pre and post workout snacks.
Two Hours Before
If you want to burn more calories, you should aim for a lower calorie meal a few hours before your training. A hearty salad, sans dressing or a veggie omelette are both great options. Try adding some extra protein like chicken or fish for more sustainability.
One Hour Before
Before you go, you want to make sure you load up on some slow acting carbs to help keep your energy levels up. Bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, carrots and hummus are some great and easily digestible carbs to snack on right before.
Try To Avoid
Gassy foods are your enemy before a long bike run. Try to stay away from brocolli, beans, apples, melons and any fatty foods at least few hours before your ride.
After Your Ride
Once you're finished your muscles are sure to be sore and fatigued. Try drinking a protein shake to help with muscle recovery and also to keep from binge eating anything unhealthy for your next you meal. Bananas are also a great post workout snack to to help with soreness. And most importantly, don't forget to hydrate! It is best to aim for 8oz within the first 30 minutes of finishing your ride.

Subscribe To Square Enix's Bloodmasque Lets You Hunt French Vampires Updates
I've already subscribed
Today Square Enix revealed what that mystery game Bloodmasque is. It's a vampire-hunting action RPG that will be released on iOS devices.
Bloodmasque is set in an alternate history version of the 19th century in which vampires are real and extremely powerful. The bloodsuckers actually rule the city of Paris. Players are vampire hunters seeking to topple their reign.,
The game allows you to use your own face in the game. You can take a picture of yourself with your iOS device and then use it for your character's face. You can also recruit other characters made by other players to your party. Is that a selling point for the game? Not really. But it's a thing you can do.
Like Infinity Blade, Bloodmasque is powered by the Unreal Engine. This allows for some fairly smooth 3D visuals. It looks better than some console games out there.
Bloodmasque will launch sometime this summer.

I promised myself I would never be a person who hated telling their age, or never rode amusement park rides. Who wanted birthday celebrations to cease and a magic eraser for the marks of aging. But it's harder than I'd thought. Being perpetually 25 would be nice as rental car companies and In Time suggest. And after spending almost my entire 29th birthday at the Pensacola fair, there are some things I realize I won't be able to fend off becoming.
Like getting motion sick from rides like The Stinger.
The hus and I can still hear the carny's gravelly, repetitive voice.
"The rat ... The giant rat ... Real and alive." (Heard about 36 times while we waited in line at the bumper cars.)What was it?! A pig dressed to look like a rat? Was it stuffed? But he said it was alive. Arghhh!!! We mature only so much, I suppose. But against the backdrop of gothic teenagers holding hands and making out - and despite my 15-year-old look tendencies and gift to myself of pink and purple streaked hair - I still felt...29.

Or maybe it's because I never wanted to be a person scared of scary movies.
WordGirl for Grown-ups
I don't know how many times I've proofed something that has as much capitalization in it as sharks off the coast of South Africa. Below are the rules. Pretty short. Fairly easy.
- The beginning of a sentence, or line item =)

Cloth Diapers
After ABW gave me a Bumkin, I was hooked on all-in-ones (coincidentally, my friend Emily offered me some before or shortly after Tucker was born, but I was unaware of how freakin' awesome they were. I told her to give them to another interested friend. My loss. Seriously). They are $18 each, and I just can't justify spending that much, particularly when I have the ability to make them.
So I present to you the $4 version of the Bumkin. I made it, with help from the Mama Bird pattern. I thought I had chosen the right pattern size (10-20 lbs), but I can't see this think fitting Tucker eight pounds from now.

And the fabric I plan on using for the next one:

Can I say "I told you so"?? :-) Kidding. Check out diaperswappers.com to buy and/or trade diapers. If you don't mind buying used ones, that is. It's kind of addicting, though, I will warn you. ~Em

It's so cute!!! Great job....where were you when I was buying them up left and right?

Cute and love the new fabric. I saw a lady planning her baby nursery and that was the fabric she was using for some of the baby bedding . . .

Nice sewing job! You could have nice little side business there! But ugh, I so hear you about the price. Especially when you find a diaper you fall in love with (for us, it was Loveybum covers & Pattynaps). I've bought used diapers from a message board I belong to, but even then they aren't what I'd call cheap.
We fell off the wagon when dd started potty learning because she needed the next size and I couldn't justify buying a whole new stash. Thankfully panties are much cheaper!

Very smart work, Mommy!

Your crazy! Why dont you sell some of these things you make?

Mega cute.

Oh yeah, another part of my dumb dream last night was that my husband was cleaning out his drawers and came across a Bumpkin. (No idea why.) And I said, "Hey, I'm gonna give that to Erin!"
I read this post right before bed last night, so I guess it stuck in my head, huh?
- 30 April, 2008
- Sarah said...
Also now I'm kicking myself that I wasted that Charlie Brown fabric on the small blanket for Tucker when it could've been a super-cute diaper.

Poyet celebrates cup scalp
Brighton manager Gus Poyet celebrated another Premier League scalp after sending Newcastle spinning out of the FA Cup.
The Seagulls beat Sunderland in the Carling Cup earlier in this season and made it a north east double with a 1-0 fourth round victory over the Magpies.
"It's a massive result. We have had so many great nights here at the Amex Stadium, it is hard to think we have only been here six months. In the next round I want to be at home. The players want to play a big team away, but I don't want a heart attack," said Poyet.

Steve and I go way back. I'm talking, 13 year old Babe Ruth baseball: that far back. I also had a good time doing some temp work for his company, York International, while I was still figuring out life as a photographer in 2011. It was pretty cool to spend some time with him for those five months.
I had the opportunity to meet his fiance, Allison, a few years ago (2008) and she is very sweet. I believe we did this set after Steve got off from work, on a Friday. I drove up to his office, and we then picked up Allison, "Ally," and headed out. We went over to Memorial Park in Larchmont, NY which is a beautiful. My images aren't wide enough to do it justice.
What I remember most from this set was acting like a fool...for two reasons:
First, this was one of the first sets that I used the D700 outdoors in a soft overcast light. Every time I would look into the LCD I was shocked at the sharpness, clarity and color rendition. Secondly, Ally and Steve...yeah. They nailed it. If I asked them to be sweet and intimate, they did it. If I asked them to be still and just focus right into the lens, they did it. I could really feel love and energy coming from them and it was uplifting. I was "ooohing and aaahing and saying "oh my goodness!" the whole time.
A very cool surprise is that Ally has a background in Art, so we were on a similar wavelength this afternoon. Any time I pointed to something, or suggested an idea, she saw what I saw, and vice versa. A fun afternoon:

In times of challenge, transitions, or turmoil we are often left feeling lost or needing more support and direction from outside of ourselves. Nature provides an opportunity to connect and communicate with our inner-self This workshop is the reminder and the exercising of the physical and spirit connections we have with nature.
Join this radical self-care workshop to reclaim methods of communication between nature, our human existence, AND condition. I will introduce the guides given to us in nature and society that support us in remembering who we are by understanding their differences and function in our lives. In this workshop we will:
- Understand both guides that I present; nature's guide and society's guide
- Connect ourselves to these guides to understand how they show up in our personal lives and professionals work. From here we can find balance
- Put those guides into practice (reclaiming) as we go about our daily lives
- Apply these guides in a real time experience with a field trip to a local park and natural area. Learn how to walk in nature in a new, intentional way for self improvement.
The benefits of this workshop will:
Learn the mechanics of how Nature provides clarity and grounding in any challenging situation you may be faced with currently, manage daily stress and anxiety, and provide a first step in formulating a direction towards a more balanced and healthy walk in life
- Help you understand a more deeper connection to nature that is rooted in indigenous spiritual principles
- Develop a more intentional way of engaging with nature as the cycle of giving and receiving each time you are outside
- Find a momentary reprieve from the noise of our world while being held in safety in nature and a supportive community
- Practice flexing your intuition to solve your own problems and challenges with little guidance
Other aspects of this workshop:
This workshop is designed to implement a coaching approach to supporting individuals as a group with supportive dialog and processing
Some healing modalities will be offered in the form of oils, scents, placement of healing hands, etc...Please notify facilitator of any concerns or restrictions you hold with these modalities
The facilitator holds this space to be safe for everyone to participate in full presence of mind, body, and spirit
Details & what to bring
Please bring an object that represents your connection to nature or an object of significance you are open to sharing with the group for the workshop. Don't worry if you don't have an object, there will be materials available for you at the workshop.
Bring your own reuseable bottle of water for the hike.
LIGHT FOOD WILL BE PROVIDED. Please let the organizer know of any food preferences/allergies/needs. It is advised you bring your own food/snacks if you have severe food allergies or particular dietary needs
Materials will be provided for activities, but you are welcome to bring your own journal
About The Space
Oakland SOL (sustaining ourselves locally) is a collectively run volunteer organization of 6 members who live and work together in a large store front and expansive garden lot. We work on social justice and food justice by opening our doors to events, hosting urban gardening days, and sponsoring political education through a paid youth summer internship. Please consider this critical community space by making a contribution of any size along with your ticket purchase!
Workshop Information
Presentations of the guides will start us off in understanding this concept of "Reclaiming Connections" Various hands-on activities, writing, and discussions will bring us to a place of deeper understanding of self. Opportunities for self reflection in silence will be honored throughout.
Healing Hike Information
This field trip to a more natural area is an important component of the workshop and is intended to put into practice the tools we were given during the workshop. We'll meet in a local park (location to be given after registration) that will be suited for a fairly intimate meeting so we can begin applying the conceptual guides into a real practice. We will gather, ground ourselves for the process, walk in meditation, and practice the steps in reclaiming your connection to nature.
This workshop and field trip are scheduled for late afternoon so we can hike as the sunset approaches. Sunsets are a great time to process these connections and connect to the cycle of life. Please bring layers and appropriate layers and footwear as weather can shift dramatically and terrain will vary. Rain out dates are scheduled as follows and can be honored on the next offering of this workshop.
Rain out date 1- Sunday, July 30th
Rain out date 2- Sunday, August 6th
Please arrange for your own transportation or carpool before or during the workshop. Location will be a local park no further than a 20 minute drive from our workshop location.

Quality is considered to be imperative whenever you're going to lease a new house or apartment. If you're going to neglect the importance of quality, then it might be possible that you won't be getting complete satisfaction and peace of mind. While considering Baltimore md apartments, one shouldn't be forgetting about quality aspects of the Baltimore apartments. The internal and external features of the apartments must be given considerable importance. An apartment that comprises of high quality external as well as internal features can be great not only for you, but also for your family. This is the reason that quality must be at a higher priority for you. An apartment should be having best heating system in it, and you shouldn't be forgetting about the importance of air-conditioning system in your apartment because that's very important as well.
Presence of a very decent ventilation system is another aspect that you should be looking for when searching for apartments that are available for rent in Baltimore MD. If you're able to ensure this particular aspect, then there won't be any issues for you. Similarly, quality of the apartment is also associated with its features such as high speed internet connection and cable ready. So, whenever you're looking to lease an apartment, these features should also be there in your mind. Availability of high speed internet connection is considered to be very important these days because everyone wants to stay connected with the rest of the world. This won't be possible if you're not having a good internet connection.
Similarly, you need to make sure that the apartments that are available for rent in Baltimore are also having good structure. Floors of the apartments are very important, and it'll be great if your apartment includes titled floors, or even hardwood floors are also given a lot of importance these days by individuals. You can also think of leasing an apartment with hardwood floors. There are many apartments in Baltimore MD where you will be able to get hardwood floors.

Forgive me as I do some shameless promotion of an excellent new blog. The evangelical Christian publication Christianity Today has launched a new blog designed specially for covering the 2008 election season. The author, Sarah Pulliam, has been working for the publication through college in-between newsroom internships at The Columbus Dispatch and the Colorado Springs Gazette. She will be covering both the Republican and Democratic conventions this fall for the magazine and the blog.
Christianity Today in a way represents the complex evangelical political scene reporters are covering this fall. Founder Billy Graham started the publication because he wanted to "plant the evangelical flag in the middle-of-the-road, taking the conservative theological position but a definite liberal approach to social problems." Presumed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has already been interviewed by the publication, but nothing yet from the presumed Republican nominee John McCain.
A recent online poll by the magazine shows that Obama may be winning the support of its readers:
Obama passed McCain (41%) by garnering 51 percent of the vote during our poll that closed yesterday. In June, McCain led Obama 50 to 33 percent. The two were tied in March at 26 percent.
An informal survey of the blog shows that Obama was the feature of eight posts, McCain two and four related to subjects relating to both or neither.
The blog also includes content from two others who write on religion and politics: Dan Gilgoff of Beliefnet's God-o-Meter and Mark Silk's Spiritual Politics.
If reporters needed more evidence that evangelicals are not a monolith, this blog would be a good place to go.
UPDATE: The editor of the CT blog is my younger sister.

Meet the man who's been to 66 consecutive Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Sixty-five years ago, Herb Waterhouse walked up to a wooden ticket booth outside the Augusta National Golf Club and bought a ticket to the 1953 Masters. He fell so hard for the place that he hasn't missed a Masters since.
"This is number 66," says Waterhouse, now 88, pointing at a mockup license plate on the front of his scooter that, sure enough, reads "66TH MASTERS." "Wasn't sure I would make it, but I'm glad I'm here."
That one-day ticket Waterhouse once bought for "two dollars, two dollars and fifty cents, something like that," the equivalent of about $23.00 in today's money, will cost you $115 through official channels, and well into the four figures if you go through a ticket broker. Unlike most of the rest of the American sports world, finding tickets to the Masters is a problem Waterhouse hasn't had for two-thirds of a century.
Waterhouse, who lives in Johns Creek, Ga., first attended the Masters in 1953 as a young salesman. And he picked a good one: that year, Ben Hogan shattered the Masters scoring record and made a lifelong fan out of a young Herb Waterhouse. He's made his way to Augusta in the first week of every April ever since. Tiger's win in 1997, Jack's miracle in 1986, Arnie's triumph in 1960, Greg Norman's collapse in 1996 – Herb was here for all of them and so many more.
The highlight? "Bringing someone who's never been here, and watching their face," Waterhouse says. "They're always—" and he makes the universal eyes-and-mouth-wide-open, fluttering-hands expression of someone stunned into silence by what they've seen. By conservative estimate, Waterhouse has had the chance to bring well over a thousand people to either a practice or a tournament round at Augusta; he's clearly spread plenty of joy amongst his family and friends.
And since it's the Masters we're talking about here, there are always memories-in-the-making. Back in 1972, Waterhouse brought along a client who'd never been to Augusta. They walked in through the south gate, right near the sixth hole, and happened to walk up right as Charlie Coody sank a 190-yard ace on the sixth hole.
"Does that happen a lot here?" the astonished client asked. (For the record, it doesn't; only 28 aces have ever been recorded in Masters history, though Waterhouse was on the premises for 23 of them.)
Smitten with golf right from that Hogan victory, Waterhouse and his former business partner became patrons of Augusta, each securing four badges every year. Waterhouse lost a couple of those badges when Augusta National decided to start opening up the tournament to more attendees, but he's held on tight to the remaining two.
"I was very close to not coming this year," he said Thursday outside Augusta National's gargantuan new merchandise hall. "I thought, 65 is a good number to go out on. But then all my grandkids got on me, and I had to come." He turns 89 in November. "Now I'll stick around to at least 90," he winks.
Waterhouse has seen Augusta National transform from a quiet, private club with a single ticket booth to the white-hot center of the sports universe, and he's enjoyed the transformation. The biggest difference between the 1950s-era Masters and today? "It might be because of my own age, but I see a lot more young people here now than I ever did before," he says. "That's good for the Masters, and it's good for the game of golf."
After 66 years of escorting clients, friends, and family around the premises at Augusta National, you'd expect that Waterhouse would know his way around this place, and he does. He follows the same routine, year after year: head to a point midway up the fairway on No. 2, where you can watch both the second and third holes, as well as the par-3 fourth. From there, he'll head to a spot between 7 and 8, where he can catch players coming up 17, and then he'll head down to the crowded little nook around the greens of 13 and 15, where the par-3 16th is visible.
Waterhouse has also seen enough golf in his day to qualify as an expert. His pick for this year? Bubba Watson, who – like Waterhouse – claims the University of Georgia as an alma mater.
These days, Herb doesn't scale the hills of Augusta National with quite the same gusto as he once did. He only attends one day a week – this year, it was Thursday – and he uses a bright red scooter emblazoned with a UGA "G" to get around. The rest of the week, he divides the tickets between his four kids, 12 grandkids, and 10 great-grandkids.
"They all want to come down," Waterhouse smiles. "I'm a very popular guy this time of year."

This post will focus on Q2 2010 with some look backs to Q2 2009 for a year over year (YOY) comparison. Data is based on a group of retailers who participated in our North American Network in both time periods, or roughly 1,100 retailers, and over 2,284,000 online Point-of-Sale survey responses in Q2 2010.
Point-of-Sale (POS) metrics:
Order Fulfillment (FF) metrics:
Insights, Tips & Trends:
- As we read customer comments from online retailers with store locations, we are seeing more customers requesting free shipping to their local store.
- We see a statistically significant increase (+9.2%) in the percent of contacts to Customer Support via Live Chat, as well as a statistically significant decrease in contacts via email (-2.1%). Email, however, still remains the most used contact method (46.5%), followed by phone (44%) and then Live Chat (5.9%).
- When a known issue with delivery is not present and consumers are reporting late deliveries on the order fulfillment survey, we often find that there is a mismatch between the consumers' perceived receipt date (as asked on the POS survey) and the retailers' actual planned send or receipt date, based on the retailers' internal operations and the shipper. This can often be solved by improving communications and more correctly setting consumer expectations for order receipt date.
- The metrics surrounding Customer Support always top the list with high correlations to (meaning very influential over) Likelihood to Buy Again and Likelihood to Recommend.
- If you are strong in this area and the percentage of customers that need to contact Customer Support is at or below average (18.2% for Q2 2010), then market this strength. If you are not strong in Customer Support performance, then we suggest that you put some work into improvements.
- We know that many retailers focus most of their resources on Point of Sale attributes. While these influence conversion, note that none of the leading influencers (highly correlated) of likelihood to buy again is a POS attribute. Be very mindful of what happens after collecting payment.
How do you make this information work for you? Where should you focus your energies?
- Pay attention to your scores, but in the context of an appropriate benchmark and with the nuance of customer comments. Bizrate Insights has free reports for this data.
- We always start at correlations when focusing on the foundation pieces of an ecommerce business. Correlations tell you how influential each attribute is against another. Look at what the correlations are and how they change over time. This information is also provided for free in the BizAdvisor Report.
- The key mantra? Listen to your customers! Market what they perceive as your strengths and fix what they perceive as your weaknesses. Perception is reality.

Big swims and baklava.
Thursday, December 8th There's something both romantic and slightly crazy about swimming between two islands that are 3 miles apart. We've done the swim between Peter and Norman Islands a handful of times, and it always requires some careful planning and a solid group of swimmers. This gang was ready, so we created 3 groups, each with a guide. Guest Rick would lead the group in a kayak full of water bottles and snacks. We'd stop every 20 minutes, the rear groups catching up, accordion style. The Promenade would float nearby, following us across.
As we swam away from Peter, we could see the bottom for about a half mile before it finally disappeared, leaving us in an endless blue. Each group stuck together, and all 3 groups met up for water breaks at the first three 20-minute intervals. The wind and swell were coming from the northeast, which is the prevailing direction here in the BVIs, forcing us to aim a few hundred yards left of our destination: the far right side of Norman Island. From atop the SUP, I could tell the wind a swell were setting us a bit, but we corrected nicely. The mood of the group was both cautious and joyous.
We were asking a lot of Rick, our escort kayaker, waiting in the wind and chop between groups. One steep wave got the better of him, and swamped his kayak. I was right next to him on the SUP, and knowing it would be impossible for him to get back on the kayak in these conditions, I looked for the Promenade, and saw that it was just about to disappear around the back side of Norman. I blew my safety whistle as hard as I could and waved my arms. Erica saw me (I later found out that neither she nor Ken could hear the whistle), and had our Captain steer over to us. We were getting close to Norman at this point, and the wind and waves were building. We got Rick and the kayak safely onto Promenade. Meanwhile, Will and Heather kept their groups together, and everyone did their jobs flawlessly. In the coming days, I'll be thinking about things we could have done differently or better in the situation, but I'm proud of the whole crew.
Now consolidated into two groups, we rounded the corner of Norman, welcomed by the sight of Promenade moored in a calm little bay with deep, glassy blue water. A full 3.8 miles complete. The longest swim ever for many of this crew. Everyone made this swim. Everyone finished. Art confided in us that, having jumped in for the last 1.5 miles on this swim back in March, he came back to do it in it's entirety. He did it, he did it all, he did it well and strong. We cheered. We celebrated. We climbed aboard and ate biscuits and gravy.
Our luxurious post-swim showers had taken a toll on our water supplies, so he motored back to Tortola to top off at Nanny Cay Marina. Nice place. Cute little beach, a restaurant, beach bar, pool. I found a grassy spot under a palm tree took it all in before helping Erica with the trash. Some cranky yacht owners waiting for fuel behind us huffed and puffed and paced their deck. Hey dude, Island time.
Back in the Drake Channel, Captain Ken put up Promenade's sails and we glided back across to Norman Island. I fell asleep on the trampoline on the bow, and the guests conspired with Ken to keep sailing, out into the Caribbean. I woke up just as we crossed the continental shelf. Flying fish were showing off. We tacked once, and enjoyed a brilliant sunset as we pulled into Privateer Bay back at Norman.
Chicken souvlaki, laughter, music, baklava (yes, baklava, hand made from scratch baklava), dreams of turquoise water.

Step into the Tardis with me, and travel back two years to when I first became a stay-at-home dad of twins. It's a rainy thursday morning. I clatter the double buggy through the sports centre doors to join a soft play session. I scan the room for anyone I know.
There's not another man in sight!
I manoeuvre the buggy across the sports hall, passing mums who are beast-feeding, nannies chattering to each other in different languages and toddlers examining plug points and chasing brightly coloured plastic balls across the floor.
I find a spot alongside 50 or so other buggies and set my two babies free.
I look up again, anxiously, to see if there's anyone out there I know. I'm thrilled as a smartly-dressed woman waves hello to me as she guides her child down a baby slide.
But still not another man in sight.
So that was the scenario two years ago. Since then more men now come to the play sessions one of the fantastic supervisors working there assures me.
"Two years ago you, Jeff and Howie were just about the blokes who came here," she said.
Today, up to 120 parents, nannies and toddlers throng the sports hall on a thursday morning and it's unusual if there's more than six or seven chaps amongst the number. And that's a change I hear you ask?
Now I'm not here to bang the drum that more men should be at home looking after the children. And I'm not saying that I'm intimidated by a room full of women, although I am aware that I'm in the minority. But it doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me like it would, say, if I was the only man sitting around the board table of some grandiose company. Sound familiar?
What I am here to say is that despite my being vastly outnumbered by women in all the playgroups and libraries of London which we go to, one thing that has struck me during my 28-month reign as a stay-at-home dad (SAHD) is that in the end we are all the same (well, apart from the obvious bits).
Here's why.
We all like to share our parenting horror stories
One of the great joys of working as a SAHD is that every now and again I meet parents who are willing to share their terrifying parenting tales. It's on these occasions that I'm reminded that I'm not a total disaster of a parent. I totally agree with blogger James & Jax who wishes 'more of us would share our horror stories of toddler parenting, so that fewer of us would feel like parental failures!'
Indeed, only last week, during a nursery playgroup, two women confided in me that they had suffered postpartum depression. Their willingness to talk about their struggles served as some form of personal therapy to me (and I am sure to them). Fathers suffer from postpartum depression too, especially first-time fathers and those fathers whose partners suffer from depression.
Listening to parenting horror stories demonstrates what we actually all know; that parenting is a bloody difficult job, but outside of the blogging world we don't talk about this enough. The fact that we are all muddling our way though life as parents unites us. Our experiences unite us.
We all want the best for our child
I seldom bump into someone at a playgroup who doesn't want to be there (apart from the odd child). Yes, we all whine a bit about the relentlessness and monotony of parenting (indeed, I moan a lot) but ultimately we all feel good about spending time with our children during their formative years. We wouldn't be at a playgroup or library together otherwise. We are bonded by a common purpose. Giving our children the best possible start in life.
We are all members of the same club
I have heard tales of men being asked to leave playgroups by breastfeeding mothers and of young fathers feeling ill-equipped to survive in a world which is naturally the preserve of women. I haven't experienced this; I just don't get it.
I feel somehow accepted by the majority of primary carers (mothers) I meet because I think I behave, struggle and muddle my way through life like any other parent. I join in with the informal chats on how tough parenting is because doing so helps me and consequently I feel as if I have been accepted as another memberof the club.
My belief is that I have assimilated into a predominately woman's world because I don't behave or speak in a macho way, bleating on about how easy being a parent is to everybody. That's because it isn't easy, so why pretend. Yes, I'm sure people see me as a man (I would hope so) but not as a threat. I may even be seen as a novelty, but I am also seen as another stressed-out parent, drinking too much wine, eating too much ice cream and in desperate need of exercise.
I'm not after congratulations or a pat on the back. It's just the way it is...

"Nothing will work unless you do."
Take a deep breath
open your heart
stay in your lane
be transparent
let go
trust the journey
These are a few of the mantras I tell myself constantly–Like 10 x a day. I am back to soul work, which for me is like giving a kid candy. I can get lost in the moments of enlightenment. God is good. We have so many teachers that have come to the earth that I'm so thankful for. I hope you have some too. If not, good LORD find one.
I have an accolade to make and I will try and do it in appropriate proportion and give honor due to the one who took the time to listen. @Dr. Shefali Tsbary, I'm awake, honored, and on a beautiful path of shedding my ego and seeing the truth wading in the co-creation phase of my path. Dr. Shefali, I know you do not want the credit for your esoteric teachings. accolades are an illusion but I want people to know who taught me and for the readers to be able to find your life work
Why am I mentioning her? Because some of the things I write about are truths she showed me.
I signed up for a yearlong course taught by Dr. Shefali called "The awakened heart." I am here to do the work, and it's really because I'm selfish and exhausted and want to escape from my prison, my cell, my pit that I so cunningly have decorated with all kinds of lies.
I have run from my calling. I have lied to myself and others about what my heart really thinks. I have held onto 40-some years of hurt from childhood wanting to forgive, thinking I have, but holding on to pain and manifesting cancer. I can't do it anymore. Something shifted, and I literally can't do it. The emotional pain I have carried is such a burden that my back is weak and my spirit has taken over. I have had 11 surgeries which tells me I'm highly sensitive. My body is a fantastic listener. I can't say that I did not know this work needed to be done. I started more than 13 years ago but didn't know how to do it. I wanted to change desperately but didn't know how.
Two years ago something happened….I happened. I woke up, came up with my mantra prayer, and God led me to this endless journey before me. I think our soul uses our discomfort to show us something is wrong. I believe it is God's way of getting our attention. Problem is: When we feel it, we push it down, away and want none of it. We are masters of blaming everyone else for the pain they caused. But did they cause the pain or did it come to teach you? Does pain come to tear you apart? I don't think so.
I believe every painful encounter comes to set you free, but here's the catch: It takes work. Hard work. Self-examination, new ideas, and a new destination. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. It took me most of my life to want change. I found it out of pain—pain that I created by the way. It's the way of life. Stop resisting it and for the love of humanity and yourself do the work! There are hundreds of paths; find yours. My path won't necessarily fit your pace or destination.
A few months ago my good friend Mary wrote a blog about staying in your own lane. I never heard that before, but now I have heard it several times and want to pass it on. Stay in your own lane because if you cross the line you might not like the result. Work on you and no one else. If someone wants your help or needs your criticism they will ask. I am preaching to me. I so desperately want my family to get these concepts that I shove the information down their throats.
Mostly the kids. I want them to grow up differently than I did…knowing the truth about how God works. I have been teaching them about resisting the discomfort. Accepting the as is in every situation. Not going to lie: I usually end up screaming and defeated as they resist the lesson and then I resist their resistance. The perfect lesson in resisting the as is. It's freaking hilarious actually! Okay, God, I surrender.
So how do you help others around you be like you, Miss Ego? Lol, You DON'T. They have their own path! Set an example and pray like a warrior that they see the truth you're trying to live. It takes time to undo all the shit you have layered on yourself and your loved ones. It's a big cycle. But I am out. Nope, not another day. I'm officially fired.
In case you're wondering what that prayer is so you can memorize it, recite it and get it into every fiber of your being…be warned: It Will change your life.
You have a choice. If you're miserable and happy stop reading now. I mean that. If you are more comfortable asleep in your delusion, that's okay. God will keep sending you moments like this to awaken your heart.
If you're still reading, then be read for your life to change.
God, show me the truth. Set me free. And bring me the people and resources I need to be the person you made me to be.
Listening is the first step. And I don't mean listening to the nonstop chatter we hear. That's not you. I have named my inner talker, Lucinda. Man, she is freaking annoying, loud, and judgmental. She lies, gossips, sabotages and I want nothing to do with her but to shut her up. She is not me. She's who I have become complacent with. I have kept her around because she served me and only me on this earth. She makes everything about me and tells me what I want to hear to make myself feel better although it's all lies. What she tells me is actually killing me, and I have the scar on my left right breast to prove it. She is toxic.
When I refer to listening this is what I mean is: Prayer, meditation, eating well, sleeping well, soul work, surrounding yourself with supportive, like-minded people, journal, exercise, read, Read, READ and listen to the ones before you that will seek you out. You have to be open and aware and awake to see them.
We tend to feed the ego with distractions, illusions, and lies. This is normal if you have been taught that your thoughts are real. That you are your thoughts. That your thoughts are directly in line with your feelings. Friends, this is not true. In fact, it's the exact opposite. You are not your thoughts. If you were, then how could YOU hear them? If you are listening to something talk: It's Not YOU!!!
You must learn this to understand who is really planted in your mind. Thoughts indicate what's inside but if you do the work the thoughts will change. Be aware of the ego and realize this is not you. You are a soul in a human skin suit that is it.
Here is my challenge: Be selfish in one area of your life: Doing the Work. The work you were put on earth to do. What legacy are you going to leave? What impact will your work be on your great grandchildren? I hope you see today that the work you do on your soul matters more than what you do to provide for your family. You are not here to work at some corporate job or even some fantastic self-employment gig–unless you're teaching others to be who God called them to be. Your job is to feed, clothe and provide shelter. You can dress that up or down as much as you want. That's it. The work I'm talking about is not about money. The work I am begging you to do will last eternally because it will pass onto your children and your children's children. It will become you. I know I can't go back in time because all the pain brought me to this moment.
Our kids are our greatest love and therefore weakness. This is why God chooses them to teach us and come after us with passion.

Senior Sports Therapist GraduateGraduating from the University of Hertfordshire many moons ago, I have continually pushed myself and aimed to work at places that provide exceptional patient care and yield amazing results, hence my arrival here at The Health Lodge! Balancing my time between being here and working as a consultant at Watford Football Club, doesn't leave a lot of spare time but when I do have a free couple of hours I like to fill them with watching sport! Whether this be the NFL (go Pats!!) or the Royal Ballet (not so much a cheering sport).
Sport is the reason I became a Sports Therapist. Previously a keen runner and hurdler, a series of horrific and unfortunate injuries ultimately lead to me giving this all up but I'll never forget the feeling of wishing there was some way to make the healing process quicker and more effective. This started me on my path to becoming a therapist and I guess is what they call "making lemonade out of lemons". Best lemonade ever!
Graduate Sports TherapistI am a sports therapist with over 5 years' experience. I have a variety of work experience in the football industry with the clubs such as Wycombe Wanderers, Wingate and Finchley and am currently working as a pitch side therapist with Charlton Athletic Football Club academy.
I first become interested in sports therapy after my friend was taken to the hospital with a long-term ankle injury. The way he came back from the injury phase to return to sports phase was inspiring. Since then, my aim was to begin a career in the field of sports therapy which led me to completing a MSc Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Degree at the University of Kent. I have also become a full member with Sports Therapy Association. I am specialised in injury treatment and exercise rehabilitation with a particular interest in knee pathology. I am currently a junior therapist member at the Health Lodge specialising in sports therapy, rehab and deep tissue massage.
Graduate Sports TherapistGrowing up within a medical based family created a desire to help others and a growing passion for sport. It was clear that her pathway for her future should merge these together. Whilst in University, she immediately threw herself into sports injury and physiotherapy clinics and enjoyed working within the sporting environment. Her background has seen her involved in rehabilitating acute and chronic injuries, as well as health and fitness screening. Starting off from a rugby club, Naomi landed herself as a main sports therapist within Aston Villa Football Club and Academy. She then graduated with a First-class BSc Hons Degree within Sports Therapy.
Since finishing University two years ago, Naomi has gained clinical experience by opening her own working environment into the chiropractic world, where she currently supports two chiropractic clinics as a Sports Therapist. This has enabled her to obtain further qualifications such as medical acupuncture, spinal manipulations and an X-Ray operator.
Masters Graduate - Physiotherapy, Qualified PhysiotherapistI finished a Master's degree in Poland in Physiotherapy, so I'm interested in everything related to the human body and especially activity, health and nutrition.
In my spare time, I like going to the gym, swimming pool, or reading a good book!
The Health Lodge is a place where my qualifications can be useful, I am currently HCPC registered and I am enjoying my time as a doctor's assistant and as a rehabilitation therapist in the practice, as well as a physiotherapist. This job gives me a lot of pleasure and is a good fit for what I've been interested in throughout my study
I am caring, empathetic and understanding and I am able to appreciate your needs.

Since joining the team, James has undertaken numerous training courses including medical acupuncture, McKenzie exercise courses for disc complaints and both spinal and extremity manipulation techniques. James takes a responsibility in ensuring your journey back to health is as quick and as smooth as possible. Outside of the clinic, James plays regular football at a social level and has a keen interest in all things health and fitness.
Sports Science Student, Traction & Massage TherapistAndrew is on course to complete a Sports, Health and Exercise Science Degree at Brunel University, specialising in human performance. In his teen years, he was fascinated with the human anatomy and how the body actually worked, but was dissatisfied with the way in which the traditional medical system handled things. Hence, he sought out an alternative and landed a placement in chiropractic medicine.
With qualifications in personal training, fitness and massage, Andrew offers numerous exercises and treatments for rehabilitation. This, combined with the other treatments, ensures that all bases are covered. At the clinic itself, he specialises in traction; a form of treatment designed to re-align the spine. Where chiropractic adjustments are extremely specific, traction looks at the overall posture and aims to correct it. His time at The Health Lodge has inspired him to pursue a career in corrective chiropractic following Dr Louise's footsteps.
