Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Adobe offers hosted services as part of Adobe® Digital Marketing Suite that enable companies to personalize and improve the performance of their websites, apps, social networking pages, and marketing activities. Adobe services collect and analyze information, such as clicks made by visitors when they use a company's websites, apps, or social networking pages or view marketing emails or advertisements.
Adobe analytics services help companies measure and understand how you use their apps, websites, social networking pages, and advertising campaigns. Adobe on-site personalization services allow companies to test new content and make their websites, apps, social networking pages, or emails more relevant to you.
Learn more about analytics and on-site personalization.
Companies use Adobe's analytics and on-site personalization services on their websites or in their apps. Our services can also be used in a company's online advertisements and marketing emails, on the company's mobile website, or on its Facebook or other social networking pages. In general, our services may be used wherever companies want to better understand how their online products, services, and advertisements are performing or where they want to provide their customers (e.g., you) with an improved or personalized experience when you use their online products and services.
When a company uses Adobe's analytics and on-site personalization services, that company tells Adobe what type of information it would like us to collect. Examples of the type of information a company may ask Adobe to collect are:
Some companies using Adobe services may send us information that allows them to identify you personally. Some companies may also buy additional information about you and then add that additional information to the information collected by Adobe's products on their websites. This additional information may include things like email addresses, account information, or Facebook profile information, including photos and usernames.
When Adobe either is instructed to collect or receives personal information on behalf of companies that use our services, Adobe asks companies to describe within their privacy policies their information collection and use practices and give you the opportunity to opt out.
Adobe does not use the information we collect for a company except as may be allowed in a contract with that company. This is usually limited to providing our services to the company. However, an example of an additional use is when we share "aggregated" information collected from many companies with our customers, prospective customers, and partners in order to improve our products and services, to provide reports and market research, and to understand market trends. Aggregated information is anonymous and does not identify individuals. For example, we may publish reports that show which browsers or operating systems are used most frequently to access websites of the companies that use our analytics and on-site personalization services.

Watts Backflow Preventers
Watts 1 LF909-QTWatts Backflow Preventer Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly Lead Free - 1"
How to Select
How to shop for a Backflow Preventer
Before we narrow down into the purchase module of a backflow prevention device, it is customary to define what it actually is; a backflow prevention device is used to protect the water supplies from contamination due to the backflow. One can only imagine the damage consumption of contaminated water can provide you with—bacteria and water borne diseases can be common, for instance. Because of that it is advisable to procure a backflow prevention device in order to prevent the water from getting contaminated. One should also know that the choice of the backflow prevention device is also just as important as choosing where and when to install it.
The following factors play a key role:
- Size. The size of the backflow prevention device must be considered depending on the amount of water flow into the environment, which is specific to a community or a house or an organization etc. In case of unsure options, there is a possibility provided by Westside Whole Sale for a professional technician to assess the size of the device that should be placed in the area in order to provide safe water for drinking or other purposes.
- Specifications. After the entity of the size, there comes the area of specifications, where the customer must choose the product, depending on the need that is area, power, size, weight, volume of the whole device, and other relative fields. Just like mentioned above, the Westside Whole Sale will be sending a trained technician to assess the product needs and the customer needs and then helping them in choosing the right product.
Customers will only receive the best quality goods at Westside Wholesale by the top brands on the industry such as Watts.
One must be aware of the time and energy consumed, if the unclean polluted portable water enters the system even once also people can't tolerate. Westside Wholesale provides solutions to this problem and makes sure that people will never have to deal with polluted water in the system again. Offered in this section backflow preventers have a unique construction that separates water and air channels from each other.
These construction stops the pollution, by preventing the clean water from the polluted water. These backflow preventers are made with bronze metal, which is durable and high water resistance. And it is also safety and quality standards. These make home water system very comfort to use.

DxOMark review for the Canon EOS Rebel T2i (EOS 550D or Kiss X4) commercial modelThursday April 15 2010 Sensor Review
On February 12, 2010, we published the DxOMark ranking and test results for a Canon EOS 550D pre-production model. However, as we always want to make sure that our data reflects the performance of cameras that are actually released on the market and available to consumers, we have since measured a commercial model and can now publish its results.
The rankings and results for both the preproduction and the commercial models are very similar, thus they both have the same DxOMark Sensor score. All the differences among the three component rankings for the two units are actually within the measurement confidence interval: for instance, the largest numerical difference, 23 points between the scores of 807 and 784 points for Low-Light ISO, corresponds to about 1/24 of a stop.
Only the commercial model measurements will be available on dxomark.com.
Disclaimer: This dxomark review evaluates only the selected camera's RAW sensor performance metrics (i.e., Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO), and should not be construed as a review of the camera's overall performance, as it does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.
Further readings for the DxOMark review for the Canon EOS Rebel T2i (EOS 550D or Kiss X4) commercial model
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

A couple of years ago I wrote about how my beer stein had become a bottle warmer.
Those babies are about to be 5, and 3, and so the stein hasn't been a bottle warmer for some time now. I miss those
days, but I don't miss being tired all the time, and forgetting my name. Still, I think the stein appreciates being used for what it was intended to be used for, and that is containing beer.�
My favorite beer to put into it is anything from the Berkshire Brewing Company. I buy other bombers, but the BBC beers get the honor of being in the stein. I don't know why really. They just seem perfect for it.
Maybe its a ritual thing that dates back several years, and I needed a beer glass large enough to hold it, and the stein ended being the one. I don't really know, but in my world the BBC beers, and my stein make the perfect marriage right before the beer makes the perfect marriage with my aging liver.Anyone else have a favorite beer mug, or one that can, and does only hold one type of beer?
