Jazz Dent, the main character in Barry Lyga's I Hunt Killers (which you can begin to read on Figment) is an excellent detective because his father, the infamous serial killer Billy Dent, taught him everything he knew before he got shipped off to jail. Unfortunately, "everything he knew" included a whole lot about breaking the law—specifically, how to murder beautiful young women. Yesterday's prompt asked you to write a story about the discovery of a dead body. Today, we take a step further into the investigation.
Today's prompt: Evidence Collection
"Ever hear of Locard's Exchange Principal?"
"Oh, sure," said Howie said. "I saw them open for Green Day last year. They rocked." He played a little air guitar.
"L-O-L," Jazz deadpanned. "Locard was this French guy who said that any time a person comes into contact with anything at all, there's a two-way trip involved. Stuff from the guy gets on the thing—hair, maybe, or skin cells, dandruff, whatever—and the thing gets stuff on the guy—like dust or paint or dirt or something. Stuff is exchanged. Get it?"
—from I Hunt Killers
Your challenge: Write about something that gets unintentionally left behind. You have until Wednesday, April 11 at 11a.m. ET to enter.
How to Enter:
1. Read the full rules.
2. Create an account on Figment.com.
3. Start a new writing of 100 words or fewer.
4. Tag your writing with KillerFlash and IHKtwo on the Details tab.

Market Reports
Closing Gold & Silver Market Report – 6/19/2013
Precious Metals prices began to fall today after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced the probability of reducing asset purchasing by the end of 2013 and completely ending it in 2014. Bernanke made it clear, however, that how the economy performs will determine how the Fed will proceed, stating, "If you draw the conclusion that I've just said that our purchases will end in the middle of next year, you've drawn the wrong conclusion, because our purchases are tied to what happens in the economy." The market is still in limbo as investors are aware of the Fed's fiscal plans, but they're not certain of the exact timeframe. "We pretty much have a Fed statement and summary of economic projections that leave us believing what we believed yesterday, which is the Fed is going to taper at some point, maybe at the end of this year, maybe in 2014," Lazard Capital Markets' managing director Art Hogan said.
As quantitative easing has become the norm for the U.S., investors have concluded that the dollar will continue to devalue as more is printed and pushed into the economy. When the dollar becomes less valuable, more is required to purchase an ounce of Gold. Former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has a confident forecast for Gold, saying, "as long as we have excessive spending, and excessive computerized money, we are going to see Gold go up." He added, "Six thousand years of history shows that Gold always retains value and paper always self-destructs."
At 5 p.m. (EDT), the APMEX Precious Metals spot prices were:
- Gold, $1,352.50, Down $16.40.
- Silver, $21.45, Down $0.35.
- Platinum, $1,417.50, Down $24.60.

The Friends of Northern Lake Champlain in collaboration with other watershed groups, the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery, and Northwest Regional Planning Commission have been on a mission to change the conversation around water quality in the region. With funding from a Climate Change Grant through the Lake Champlain Basin Program, we are exploring intersections of water quality and climate resilience. We are bringing regional leaders to help us frame the conversation and developing tools that will be shared throughout the region.
This page is a resource to gain a better understanding of the work we are doing and the conversations that are happening.
Workshop 1:
The Watershed Navigators of Northwest Vermont, a newly formed coalition of watershed groups, Regional Planning, the St. Albans Cooperative, and State and Federal Agencies have been working together on framing watershed issues in relation to the changing climate/weather that is impacting our waterways.
Our intent is to better understand together the factors that are contributing to increased pollution in our rivers, lakes, and ponds in our region and empower people to implement changes in behavior that could lead to a more resilient region. We are encouraging people from various sectors to attend every meeting to have a cross sectoral reference of the issues.
We are approaching this by bringing together regional leaders in a series of 5 workshops to learn from the experts in different sectors, discussing assumptions, feedback from constituents, and integrating the information into a series of questions and answers to help us uncover how to create better messaging tools to share resilience to our community members.
The first workshop occurred in May and we invited Leslie-Ann
Dupigny-Giroux, Vermont's State Climatologist to speak about the larger impacts and system of climate. The larger group then broke out into facilitated smaller groups to discuss how this information affected their thinking, what impact the information had on them, and finally what messages could be shared effectively with the greater public.
Below is a link to the video the very first meeting with our guest presenter Leslie-Ann Dupigny- Giroux, Vermont's State Climatologist. We have also included a summary of the participants conversations.
Workshop 2
Our second workshop in June focused on transportation infrastructure and how infrastructure decisions should be made in relation to increasing rain fall in our region. Historically, we have created a built environment along our rivers and streams. That environment has recently been threatened by its proximity to waterways and the increasing velocity and power of that water.
Mike Kline, the program manager for the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation's Rivers Management Program spoke to the team about stream equilibrium, how streams respond at different scales, how science can be applied to minimize erosion, and how to link transportation and river corridor planning. Becky Tharp, Manager of the Green Infrastructure Collaborative, a program of Lake Champlain Sea Grant and the Vermont DEC then joined us to speak about the barriers that are common regarding the implementation of green infrastructure in communities and changes in regulations that slow implementation progress at the local level.
The group then broke out into smaller groups to discuss assumptions about transportation, the impact the presentations had on us, and the messaging or take-aways that we could incorporate into outreach efforts to the public and municipal entities. The video from that workshop will be available soon. The link to the summary from the attendee conversations is below.
Workshop 3:
Agriculture is a large part of our built environment in Northwest, Vermont and we wanted to get a better understanding of how agriculture is being affected by climate change and how agriculture is a critical sector that could help us be more resilient to the impacts of climate change. In order to discuss these topics we invited Joshua Faulkner, the Farming and Climate Change Coordinator and Heather Darby, Agronomy Specialist, both from the University of Vermont.
Their presentations focused on the way climate changes will affect and are affecting agriculture and the research they are doing on generating data points to help reduce those impacts. Land management and soil health in the changing climate system are key components of how we work to reduce the impacts not only on our food and agriculture production, but could be critical to the built infrastructure of our roads and village centers. The smaller groups had an opportunity to discuss the learning and what messages we are hearing from our constituents in this sector and how we address some of the larger assumptions around climate change and agriculture in our region. The video and summary from that workshop will be available soon.
Workshop 4:
This workshop focused on land development and conservation and we were fortunate to have Joshua Swartz the Executive Director of the Mad River Valley Planning District join us. This organization is a unique three-town planning entity developed by the towns of Fayston, Waitsfield, and Warren and Sugarbush Resort to carry out a program of planning for the Valley. Joshua shared the progress on two efforts from the Mad River Valley on tackling flood resiliency and recovery. The first is an EPA funded project "Planning for Flood Recovery & Long Term Resilience in Vermont: Smart Growth Approaches for Disaster Resilient Communities". Currently they are exploring how to communicate the role of stormwater management valley-wide with "Managing Stormwater Together in a Post Irene Mad River Valley!". Afterwards the participants had an opportunity to discuss the key learnings from the presentation and the work that is being done in other parts of the state to create more resilient communities.
Workshop 5:
After all of the land based workshops on resilience in our watershed, the final workshop took an economic development direction that enabled us to hear about the Climate Economy and ways that we can thrive in a changing climate. Paul Costello, the Executive Director of the Vermont Council and Rural Development (VCRD) and spearhead of the recent Climate Change Economy Initiative joined us to discuss opportunities and resilience in climate change and how change can provide economic and creative solutions.
We also heard via phone from Brian Voigt, the UVM professor who led a research project on the direct correlation between water quality/clarity and the economy. "The UVM study shows that with a decrease of just one meter of water clarity, Vermont lakeside communities would lose $16.8 million in economic activity, and approximately 200 full-time jobs. Seasonal homes would depreciate in value by 37 percent, and year round single family homes would suffer a three percent loss, according to the report, "An Assessment of the Economic Value of Clean Water in Lake Champlain.""

Easter Preparations
Posted by: Maggie
My dad was hosting Easter for the extended family this year, so we went over on Saturday to help with the preparations.
To avoid the inevitable disaster of spilled or swallowed dye, we kept Eleanor otherwise occupied with lunch and some guitar strumming lessons from her uncle William.
Later that night, after Eleanor went to bed, Josh and I did a dozen of our own eggs just for fun.
p.s. The photos for this post, and the Easter day posts to come, were taken with a borrowed camera. So much better than my own.

Easter Sunday
Posted by: Maggie
Sunday was Easter, and was a very busy day!
Eleanor had not napped much on Saturday because she was out of the house celebrating her Grandpa Keegan's birthday, so she was exhausted on Sunday. She napped most of the morning and even fell asleep on the changing table while we were getting her dressed in her Easter outfit.
Our first stop of the day was to visit our friend Andrew and his family so they could meet Eleanor. I have known them since I was sixteen so they have watched me change from a punk rock teenager to a mom and soon-to-be-attorney. Andrew's mom, Julie, and dad, Andy, really seemed to enjoy meeting Eleanor. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera in.
We next went to my Aunt Kathleen's house for an Easter Egg hunt.
We got to visit with my cousin Leana and second cousin, seven-month-old, Mia.
Josh hung out with Eleanor while I found our eggs.
For some reason my brother Emmett had two eggs to find.
After the Easter Egg Hunt we went to my mom's house where Eleanor got her first Easter basket from her Grandma.
Then we had our Easter dinner.
Eleanor had fallen asleep on Daddy's lap right before dinner so Daddy had his dinner on the couch.
After dinner Eleanor woke up and hung out with Grandma.
We were also belatedly celebrating my brother-in-law Christian's birthday.
My mom got him an interesting gift, pictures of my sister having her hair and makeup done for their wedding.
It was a very busy weekend and we have vowed to avoid leaving the house again for at least a month.

On an ordinary winter day in December 2009, Karina and Kazandra Pangilinan sat down to watch some of their old elementary and high school musical productions. They wistfully recalled the nerve-racking auditions, the process of memorizing lines and perfecting choreography, the late night rehearsals, the excitement leading up to opening night, and the sense of accomplishment when taking the final bow. They realized just how much they missed musical theater being a part of their lives. It was in this moment that the idea of KP Productions was born.
KP Productions is a non-profit musical theater company that provides an opportunity for students to continue their love for musical theater outside the classroom. Our goals are to promote the arts in our community by offering affordable entertainment for people of all ages and give students an opportunity to perform. We welcome all students to join our program and we uphold a creative environment that promotes positive values and inclusion.
KP Productions values hard work and committment and we work very hard to produce high-quality shows that are worthy of applause from our audience. We strive for excellence in all our endeavors and provide our cast members with an opportunity to foster their creativity, strengthen their teamwork skills, and further develop their talents.
Hi, I'm Kazandra. I grew up watching Disney movies where singing and dancing seemed to be a regular occurance in everyday life and I think this was one of the reasons why I fell in love with musical theater. Life just seems so much happier when you're singing and dancing, don't you think? I come from a musical family and I have been performing nearly all my life. I started learning the piano when I was five and eventually took up the clarinet, violin and alto saxophone as well. I currently have 14 students whom I teach piano at Twilight Sound Studios. I've been involved in musical theater since elementary school and past productions include The Music Man, Honk! and Beauty and the Beast.
I saw my first live musical-Fiddler on the Roof-when I was ten years old, and I loved everything about it! I've now seen many musicals including Guys and Dolls, Miss Saigon and I was even lucky enough to see The Phantom of the Opera in New York! My favorite musical is Les Miserables.
I like old novels, the Vancouver Canucks, and freshly baked cookies. I currently attend the UBC Sauder School of Business and where I am majoring in marketing.

Apple Inc's products have a reputation for being high-end, but now with the iPhone 4 out and doing well, it seems the company has approved AT&T's new low price of $49 for the previous generation iPhone 3GS smartphone. This is a big drop from the $199 and up that consumers paid not long ago. Even as recently as 2-3 months ago, AT&T was charging $99 for the 8GB of memory model.
This might be a concession to AT&T lose their iPhone exclusivity amongst wireless carriers. In fact, after all the rumors, Verizon is supposedly going to officially early next week that they will be getting the iPhone. Whether that'll be a CDMA model of the iPhone 4 or a whole new model is to be seen. There's enough grumbling amongst customers about AT&T's cellular network's failings, especially for iPhone users, and suggestions that Verizon will not only see a shift amongst their own customers to iPhone, but also a switch over from AT&T. So it's not surprising that AT&T is doing something to entice users. It's too bad they can't do that for the iPhone 4. (Note: Image above is of an iPhone 4, not a 3GS.)
Don't forget that to sweeten things, both Verizon and AT&T not too long ago dropped the minimum monthly rate for data plans. AT&T is charging $15/m for 200 MB of data, or for another $10 (ie., $25/m), you get 2GB/m of data plan. Unfortunately, their unlimited plan is no longer available to new customers.

Apr 15th 2008 1:00PM by Tom Fornelli
Chicago Cubs (7-5) vs. Cincinnati Reds (6-7) - 8:05PM Est.
When Dusty Baker came to Chicago in 2003, he took over a team that was an annual bottom feeder in the NL Central and brought them to within five outs of the World Series. He was a savior. Then, four short years later, Dusty signified everything that was wrong with Cubdom to the team's fans. So he was run out of town in favor of Lou Piniella, and after taking a year off hanging out at ESPN, Dusty got himself a new job in Cincinnati. Now Dusty returns to Wrigley Field for the first time since being fired by the team. There's some question as to what kind of reception he'll receive from Cubs fans, and if I were a betting man, I'd bet my house, your house, and my weird neighbor's house all on "Gets booed like there's no tomorrow." Luckily for Dusty, he has an ace up his sleeve to combat the harsh reception he'll receive, and that ace is Aaron Harang. More importantly than backing up Dusty, the Reds would just like Harang to put an end to the team's current three-game skid. He's at the right place, as Aaron is 4-0 with a 4.65 ERA in eight career starts at Wrigley Field. Ryan Dempster, who is also facing his former team, gets the start for the Cubs, and so far his new/old role as a starter has worked out well. In two starts so far this season, Dempster has a 1-0 record and a very nice 0.69 ERA.

The latest Quinnipiac poll has some interesting tidbits. There is no front-runner for the GOP nomination: "The GOP primary shows U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky with 11 percent, New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent each, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin with 8 percent each, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio with 6 percent, no other candidate over 3 percent, with 20 percent undecided."
Not only is there no break-out candidate, but also many labeled as leaders or dark horses haven't moved perceptibly. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) peaked at 17 percent and is now at 11 percent while Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has slid from a high of 19 percent to 6 percent. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) who has shown little interest in the presidential race has also fallen back to 8 percent. Compared to these, Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) has held up fairly well despite the bridge scandal, in a statistical tie for the lead at 10 percent.
The main takeaway here is that there are many viable candidates and Hillary Clinton in not invincible. She leads the top GOP contenders by single digits and has less than a 50 percent approval rating. (Imagine what will happen if she stays on the book tour for a couple more months.) It is noteworthy that the poll ended June 30, before a couple more Clinton gaffes.
By a small 46 percent to 44 percent margin voters prefer the GOP to take the Senate and to keep the House majority.
Not all those mentioned in this or other polls will run and some not mentioned may throw their hat into the ring. If for example Christie and Bush don't run, Ryan may well be the overwhelming favorite of "establishment" Republicans, with some far right support as well; likewise if Bush and Ryan don't run, after all the bridge scandal hullabaloo Christie may find himself at the top of the heap.
More so than in previous years, GOP voters may be relatively less impressed with rhetoric and ideological platitudes. President Obama was enough to make any voter wary of a purely charismatic candidate. Who will seem presidential on a stage with Clinton? Who sounds like he understands the world and can reverse and repair the damage to U.S. credibility on the international stage? Which one sounds like he can actually run the government and work with Congress? These considerations will be at the forefront of many voters' minds.
The 2014 GOP Senate primaries remain an object lesson. Even in a narrow electorate (more selective than even in a presidential primary) a pure tea party candidate is hard-pressed to win against a competent opponent who has more diverse appeal. Narrow-casting one's appeal is sufficient to create a talk show audience but not to win a succession of geographically and politically diverse states.
The other truism reinforced by 2014 is that candidate quality matters. A flaky extremist, a gaffe-prone newcomer or an inexperienced interviewee prone to inadvertently reveal his weaknesses is not going to win a Senate primary let alone the GOP nomination, especially when the world is coming apart at the seams.
In 2008 and 2012 the GOP nominee did not lack gravitas, but neither connected on an emotional level with the wider electorate. Whether through an immigrant life story or the experience overcoming hardship, the GOP candidate is going to have to demonstrate he understands and relates to ordinary voters. The good news is that his opponent is likely to be Clinton who is both out of touch and out of ideas. Still you can't be a flawed candidate with nothing.

Research Handbook on EU Criminal Law
Edited by Valsamis Mitsilegas, Maria Bergström and Theodore Konstadinides
Chapter 23: The European Public Prosecutor's Office
Katalin Ligeti
In July 2013, the European Commission presented its Proposal to set up the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO). Meanwhile negotiations are ongoing in the Council. The Commission's Proposal represents a seminal change in developing the EU criminal justice area: in order to fight offences affecting the financial interests of the European Union a European law enforcement body would be set up. Instead of cooperation of national judicial authorities, the Commission's Proposal would install genuine European powers of investigation and prosecution in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). This chapter gives a brief overview of the history of the idea of the EPPO and of the legal framework and the procedure laid down in Article 86 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) for its establishment. It discusses the main features of the Commission's Proposal, highlighting the controversial provisions and summarizing the main arguments. As the negotiations are still ongoing at the time of writing, the central elements of the draft text discussed in the Council are outlined. The concluding remarks take into account the current outcome of the negotiations and aim to assess whether the intended changes are in line with the constitutional objectives of the Treaty and would represent an added value compared to the present background of judicial cooperation in criminal matters in the EU.

Why i-i-i-iterate?
Because, like Louis C.K., we don't get it right the first time.
We've come to believe that process is more important than product. Here's an example. The scientific method is a process. It's a way of testing ideas. As a process it is more valuable than any of the great things it has produced…airplanes, cures for diseases, the internet, etc.
Iteration is also process. You have a goal and you take a step towards it. Then you evaluate the results. You find ways to improve it. You do those things. Then you repeat.
Louis C.K., the great comedian, tells lots of bad jokes. These bad jokes aren't bad because they are about taboo subjects like what happens in the bathroom or the bedroom, they're bad because they just aren't funny. They are low quality. We don't get to hear most of his bad jokes because he tells them at little comedy clubs around the country. When he plays Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at Bullfrog's Live Comedy Club in Topeka, Kansas he's trying out new jokes. Many of them bomb. The two-drink minimum crowd has hired a babysitter, checked their worries at the door and they are there to laugh with the funniest comedian of our time. But their goodwill still won't make a stinker into a belly laugh.
He describes his iterative process as similar to the way Japanese master knife blacksmiths forge a knife from many pieces of steel. He hammers layers together, one after another, until each word and each pause and each intonation forms a perfect, deadly joke. A joke that kills. But he starts with imperfect stuff, basic steel, that needs to be forged. One idea doesn't flow into another. Or his observation is too broad or too personal or too obscure. He doesn't know what to fix until he's on stage at Bullfrog's telling a bad joke and watching it bomb in front of a packed audience.
Iterating is courageous. You have to be willing to fail and embarrass yourself. You have to do it on purpose.
This week we sent out a new version of a report to three of our clients. We would rather have emptied our trash can into a box and FedExed it to them. That's how embarrassed we feel about those reports. We have masters degrees, we have Ph.D.'s, we've taught economics at the master's level. So we know a few things about numbers and how to display them. But a client looking at those reports, like an audience member at Bullfrog's, could doubt they are looking at the work of a skilled professional.
Why did we do it? Because we – and we includes Louis C.K., too – don't know how to make something better until we've seen exactly why it's bad. We need the negative reaction to be able to improve.
We're not sure which charts and graphs will answer our clients' most important questions. We really want to know. The only way to figure it out is to bomb. We have to try things. We have to fail and then – this is truly awful – watch the embarrassing failure so closely that we really learn from it, pick ourselves up and start developing new ideas. Then we start the whole process all over again.
Iterating is the hard path to greatness. Paradoxically, it requires choosing to fail again and again and again.
We wish there was another way. There i-i-i-isn't.

• Burriss 3-5, 2R, 2B, RBI
• Keyes 3-5, R, 2B, RBI
• Mastroianni 2-5, R, HR, RBI
A.J. Cole's inability to keep the ball in the yard continues to dog him as a third-inning grand slam proved too much for the Chiefs to overcome in an 8-6 loss to Buffalo. It was the 12th HR he's given up in 59 innings this season between AAA, MLB, and Spring Training. Cole was charged with five runs total on eight hits and a walk as he lost for the fourth time. Emmanuel Burriss and Kevin Keyes both went 3-for-5 with a double to lead Syracuse's 15-hit attack.
Roster move: RHP Taylor Hill recalled to Washington.
Altoona 4 Harrisburg 3 (10 inn.)

• Turner 3-5, 2R, 2-2B, 2SB
• Pleffner 2-5, RBI
• Skole 1-3, 2BB
The thrill of a possible victory came in the top of the 10th when Shawn Pleffner's RBI single plated Trea Turner for a 3-2 lead. The agony of yet another walkoff loss came in the bottom of the 10th when a double, a single, and an unintentional walk loaded the bases. A hit by pitch tied the game, another hit by pitch gave Altoona the win, Sammy Solis the loss, and Adam Frazier the Homer Simpson RBI. Starter Richard Bleier scattered 11 hits over seven innings of two-run ball for his eighth quality start. Trea Turner ran wild with two doubles, two steals, and two runs scored in a 3-for-5 game.
Potomac 4 Carolina 1 (6 inn.)

• Abreu 2-2, 2R, 2B, HR, 2BB, 3RBI, SB
• Marmolejos-Diaz 2-4, 2B
A three-run 1st put Hagerstown in the driver's seat early as they cruised to a 5-2 win over Delmarva. For the second time this month, Drew Van Orden turned in a quality start two days after a relief appearance, giving up both Shorebird runs on four hits and a walk for his fourth win. David Napoli closed it out with three scoreless innings for his third save. Osvaldo Abreu paced the Suns offense as he reached base four times with two walks, a double, and a home run and drove in three.
Roster move: RHP Kevin Perez reassigned from Auburn.

The Doubledays scored in four of the first five innings as they neut, er shut out the MuckDogs, 10-0. Robbie Dickey got the start and turned in three scoreless innings, though he put on four baserunners with two hits and two walks. Luis Torres got the win with five no-hit innings of relief. Second baseman Bryan Mejia made two errors but also doubled twice and went 3-for-5 with three RBI while his double play partner Edwin Lora doubled and tripled while going 2-for-4 with two RBI to lead Auburn's 13-hit parade.

It has been said over and over again, that dog is man's best friend. This statement has frayed edges, torn creases, and bite marks from being used over and over again. Nothing is more cliché, or truer, especially to dog aficionados and tens of millions of households all over the world. Dogs are very affectionate, playful and loyal, and nothing fits this bill more than French bulldogs.
But before you get bombarded with the pros of owning a French bulldog, its best to understand first the basics of this very playful and affectionate dog breed, this way, you can be better informed about what kind of dog breed the 'Frenchie' actually is.
French bulldogs are popularly known to be descendants of British Bulldogs. The British bred them as miniature bulldogs and when trader owners crossed the channel to ply their trade in France during the 1800's French dog lovers took notice of the breed and took a fancy on them. Soon they were raising them and dubbed them as the French bulldog, or as some dog breeders today call them 'Frenchies'.
As Americans have come to France and more French people have traveled to America, the French bulldog started to become very well known to Americans, which led to its acceptance and inclusion in the roster of many dog breeding associations in the country including the American Kennel Club in 1898. Up to this day, the French bulldog has been the breed of choice for many American households.
Now to the best part. The main reason why French bulldogs are the best choice as a house pet is due to many characteristics, reasons that are more or less unique to a French bulldog when combined.
First off is their size. Even if you have a small home, the French bulldog would fit perfectly as they re diminutive but large enough to act as a watch dog to scare off would be intruders. Usually, a French bulldog would grow up to 12 inches to their wither or to the top of their shoulder. Given enough space to run and play, they can have sufficient exercise already. One thing though, you have to make sure that you can house train them immediately. The French bulldog is more comfortable in cooler environments, so they tend to stay indoors.
Another great factor about the French bulldog is their temperament and personality. French bulldogs are very affectionate, they love to be cuddled and require a lot of human attention. They prefer to be treated as a member of the family and are very playful and safe with kids. It is also easy to befriend them but they can still be an effective watchdog, this is because they are a highly intelligent breed. Because they can easily adapt to new surroundings, they can be very outgoing as long as the weather is not too hot. This means you can take them most anywhere.
This and more are the reasons why the French bulldog is a great choice as a pet.
As mentioned earlier, house training your Frenchie is a must so you should, check out this Training Program as it will provide you fast and effective training results.

Most of us bake for the holiday season, but it can be a lot of work. My solution is to make one dough to use as the basis for different kinds of cookies. The easiest is a sugar cookie dough, which can be combined with other ingredients. We've come up with four different recipes that are rolled, filled and cut out to make an attractive package for your cookie exchange. See recipes below.
For the basic sugar cookie, using a combination of light brown and white sugar produces cookies with a lovely golden colour and an appetizing hint of caramel.
1 ¼ cups unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat using a mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions. Add vanilla and beat until well combined.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat until dough just comes together. Divide dough into 4 pieces to make 4 varieties of cookies.

Please tell me if you use broadcloth for quilts, Joanns has this for a $1.99 a yard and my husband can give me $10.00 so I can star sewing, thank you for your help in this.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Please tell me if you use broadcloth for quilts, Joanns has this for a $1.99 a yard and my husband can give me $10.00 so I can star sewing, thank you for your help in this.
Penny, Broadcloth can be used in quilts. It is usually solid colors. Most quilters prefer 100% cotton but many use blends. It is all a matter of personal taste and what you can afford. I live within easy driving distance of both AMish and Mennonite communities. As they are the ones that have truly kept quilting alive they know what they are doing. I have often noted that many of their quilts and even their clothing is often made from blends. Knowing that they often have to make every stitch of clothing their families make I can not begrudge them the little luxory of fabrics that don't wrinkle as much. Most of us will admit to using whatever fabric provided the color or look we were seeking for our quilts.
Have fun and don't worry about the quilt police.
thank you very much.
Hopefully, the broadcloth isn't too heavy weight or you may get discouraged. Also, if it is a little heavier be sure and pick a simplier pattern.
I also think you will be happier if you stick to 100% cotton. It is a lot easier to work with.
Good luck and happy quilting.
wish I could get cotton, but with back surgery just done and not working for a yr just cant aford it.
I use 100% cotton broadcloth quite successfully. I agree with mpspeedy just get what you can, within your means and then you can start sewing. The only thing I would do is pre-wash...that way you will have less chance of anything "misbehaving". Happy quilting.
I have used broadcloth with no problems. They have some wonderful colors and that's a great price. Go ahead and make your quilt. And have fun.
I only use 100% cotton but I am fortunate enough to have a Wal-mart that still sells fabric.
Broadcloth can be used, but it is a bit heavy.
Thank you all for helping me, Im not sappose to drive yet, but I think I will not take my pain meds tomorrow and drive to Joanns before there sale ends and get a few yard as I am getting anxious to start trying to quilt.
My dad always used broadcloth for his backings and often for solid offset colours for his tops. They seemed to work out just fine.
Go for it...and good luck on your quilting. Hope your back feels better soon.Originally Posted by penny doty
thank all of you for your help, and I hope my back feels better to, makes me crabby when I hurt all the time, my poor husband ha ha..
Dear Penny,
Our foreparents used whatever was left over from worn out clothing. They did not have the luxury of purchasing fabric to make a quilt, although these were basically natural fibers and fabrics. Some of us were so poor that the batting was more old ragged clothing or newspaper and what beautiful quilts were made.
Even after man made fabrics came into being, there are still people who are not able to purchase luxuries, like yards of fabric. So, enjoy sewing your quilt with what resources are available to you. I have learned to make do with what I have and oh what treasures can evolve from a willing heart and creative spirit. ENJOY!!!! Please post pictures of your creations. We all had a beginning in this wonderful craft.
Three cheers for putting it so well, Ellis' Granny B!
Penny, use what you have available, and enjoy the process of creating!
Being disabled, and with very limited income, I have found yard sales to be a real bonanaza for finding fabrics. Not only do you find actual fabric stashes from time to time, but if you are open to taking apart clothing items, it is amazing what you can get for a quarter sometimes.While the clothing may be out of style, the fabrics used are timeless. A seam ripper, and willingness to dismantle things can provide you with some great materials for very little cost.

When free shipping method is enabled, it is shown along with other available shipping methods unlike free payment method 'Zero Subtotal Checkout'.
There is no harm in showing other payment methods along with free shipping method. Nevertheless some merchants wants to hide rest of the methods when it is enabled.
There are many ways to do it. One of the way is to override the method:
1. Rewrite the block class
File: app/code/local/MagePsycho/Shipmentfilter/etc/config.xml:
... <blocks> ... <checkout> <rewrite> <onepage_shipping_method_available>MagePsycho_Shipmentfilter_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method_Available</onepage_shipping_method_available> </rewrite> </checkout> ... </blocks> ...
2. Override the getShippingRates() method

I went out with a female friend on Sat night (admit I have feelings for her but I'm not letting on and keeping her as friends). Anyway she seemed a bit off from the start and preoccupied with a guy she has just started dating over the last 2 weeks (since I last saw her). Anyway things got a bit off at times didn't speak as much, then on the way home we didn't speak much either. I text her next morning to say she seemed a bit off and preoccupied and she said felt the same about me. But she said she was sorry, I replied back saying OK no worries, she then replied back asking if we are OK as she would hate to lose me as a friend. I replied back saying we're OK and she replied back OK with a smiley. Anyway me being me, I felt I should send her a nice text this morning saying along the grounds she means a lot to me as a friend and a misunderstanding would not make her lose me as a friend, look forward to seeing her in a few weeks. She hasn't replied back nearly 5 hours later. She works but has ALWAYS replied back within an hour or 2 max. I sent the message on WhatsApp and she hasn't been online since about 9am today (I sent the text 10am). She must have got a notification and seen my name. Should I be concerned? Should I allow a few days more? Or shall I send her a normal SMS later if she hasn't replied asking if things are ok? I don't want any games!
Most Helpful Girl
I agree with anonymous. You guys already patched things up, what do you expect her to say to the message you sent today? I mean, don't you get messages from people and not quite know how to respond to them? It really would make you seem needy, like you need constant reassurance. A person who needs constant reassurance is bloody annoying!
Just assume the conversation has ended, act normal, and plan for the coming weeks without worrying so much what she thinks about you.30|30|0
Thank you! You're both right, I'm just over reacting over something nothing. I'll just get in contact with her in a few weeks when we have planned a day out. Again normally I don't ever react with women I casually meet!
no problem, good luck!
It's nice to see what a girl might be thinking. I have strongly decided to keep it cool and if we meet up in a few weeks then great, if not I won't make any more effort and just move on from this girl. Thank you again!

Two French festivals have dropped Eagles of Death Metal from their bills after frontman Jesse Hughes made inflammatory remarks about Islam being responsible for last year's terror attack during a concert by the band at The Bataclan, in which 90 people were killed.
"It's okay to be discerning when it comes to Muslims in this day and age," he told Taki magazine, adding that Muslims in France "[celebrated] in the streets during the attack."
Related: Jesse Hughes Apologizes for Bataclan Security Accusation
In response, organizers of two French festivals said Hughes' remarks were irresponsible and further fanned the flames of hate.
"Being in total disagreement with Jesse Hughes' recent allegations given in an [interview] with an american media, both Cabaret Vert & Rock en Seine festivals have decided to cancel the band's performance. We [thank] you for your understanding," organizers elaborated in a Facebook post.
A Bataclan survivor also penned an essay for Louder Than War expressing dismay over Hughes' statements. Tony Scott, an Eagles of Death Metal fan, wrote that the sentiments were "a stomach punch to fans."
"It's easy to see why his comments are causing so much hurt," he wrote. "Unlike a politician, his fans have invested time and emotion into a band whose music they buy and gigs they attend. There is a rapport between a band and its fans, some of which are dedicated followers. They already feel like they know him. This rapport is strengthened still as Hughes is a fellow survivor and the compassion extended in the community of survivors is also extended to him. Comments in the media like his are a stomach punch to those fans, especially when they are still dealing with their own trauma. He is alienating the very people who helped him get where he is."

Emily Reese will be on tour February 16-23 with her novel Second Death
When Meghan Monroe went missing, her twin brother Mike swore to find her. The harder he looked, the less he seemed to find until he came across a book called The Collector. If his hunch is correct, his professor, Claire Wallace, holds the key to finding his sister. But no one knows better than Claire that finding Meghan might be the least of Mike's worries.
After he ignores her warnings to go home and forget about the book, Claire must make a choice: let Mike's discoveries lead him to certain death, or face down her own demons to help him. Knowing The Collector is much more fact than fiction, Claire must decide whether to protect the secret she has kept for eighty years, or reveal her true nature to save another girl from sharing the same dark fate.

Walking home, Erica mulled things over. Kevan seemed halfway decent. That would be awesome for Hailey. She needs a decent guy for once. Passing between the pools of light from the streetlamps, she couldn't keep herself from smiling. It was a pretty great party.
Fleeting movement from the corner of her vision caused her to pause and look around. Her stomach rolled, like it did when she watched a horror movie. She strained her senses, trying to see something, hear something to explain her trepidation.
"Hello?" There was no response. Erica shook her head and moved along. What would you do if someone answered, you goose? She looked up and noticed one of the streetlights was out. The space of darkness it left filled her with foreboding. "You're being ridiculous," she told herself aloud. Head down, she jogged into the darkness.
A bystander would've seen a young, brunette woman disappearing into a shadow. If they were close enough, they might have heard a man's voice whispering.
"Hello, sweetheart."

In Maggi and Milo debut author Juli Brenning and illustrator Priscilla Burris explore the pleasant bond of friendship and the angst that comes about when a special friend is nowhere to be found.
As the story goes, Maggi's grandmother sent a frog hunting kit as a gift. Maggi and her trusty pup, Milo, set forth on a frog hunting expedition. Their adventure is slow-going for quite some time, with nary a frog to be found. So much so, that Maggi becomes distracted and sings a song to pass the time away.
After a while, Maggi becomes truly panicked. She is alone at the pond. Milo is nowhere to be found. Eventually, she follows the sound of an interesting song to discover that Milo is happily surrounded by lots and lots of frogs! The pond is filled with friendly croakers, a cheerfully wet dog and the girl who loves him.
Enjoy the story in more depth by accessing the free, downloadable Discussion and Activity guide Juli has provided. Click HERE to access a number of lessons, all aligned with the Common Core State Standards. In addition, being that the author hails from Nashville, otherwise known as Music City, she gathered up her inner Maggi and recorded a song to celebrate this delightful story! Click HERE to access Maggi's favorite song. Be careful, it's catchy. You'll be singing along before you know it.

Rainbow Shots!
Have you ever been out at a social event where the bartender is just off the chain with skills? I'm not talking about your neighborhood bar where the bartender's skills are limited to mixing simple drinks like Bacardi and Coke. No, I am referring to real skills where the bartender show-boats with the multiple bottles of alcohol, tower glass pour and decorative drinks that are too pretty to drink.
Ever wonder how they do it? Ever wish you were able to do at least one of those cool feats? Well, wonder and wish no more. Here's a "Rainbow Shots," recipe from the Tipsy Bartender, that you can do at your next function sure to impress your friends, (with a little practice of course).
Happy cocktail making!
Lois "Depurplelady" Percente
Rainbow Shots
And She's Back…
Hello Beautiful People,
How the hell are you? Hopefully, you are doing well and are keeping your head way above water, successfully.
As for me, I am slowly feeling like myself again. You know how it is…Shit just happens, no need to go into grave details about it. It's just sometimes we need to take a step back from our regular routine and examine our lives and put things back into perspective. And sometimes that is easier said than done.
We sometimes cannot understand the sadness that comes over us and we try like hell to get over it on our own, however, sometimes taking a step back and isolating others, out of fear of taking out our frustrations on others may not be the answer. But we weather the storm and hopefully pull ourselves out of the dump and return to society. That be me now and going forward. (Hence, she's back…)
I know that I do not have to tell/remind you that sometimes "this thing called life," can be challenging, unpredictable and quite stressful. Dealing with stress is not an easy task for it causes one to pull away from family members and friends. Pulling away and putting distance between those we love sends them mixed messages, causing them (your loved ones and friends) pain and suffering. You may think that hey, "I'm doing them a favor by not sharing what's on my mind," or "Not sharing your problems," because you feel that if you do so you will prompt one or many of these feelings:
- Looking like a loser
- Family/Friend won't understand
- Will prompt unnecessary advice or obvious solutions
- Fear of ruining your relationship/friendship
Most often when things go wrong, and when Life decides to throw a monkey wrench in your not so perfect world, but a quite manageable one. You feel foolish for not being prepared in the event something goes wrong.
When it comes to talking with a family member or a friend one could find this to be a complicated, because thoughts like, "If I confide in them, what will they think of me?," "Will confiding in said family member or friend, results in them sharing my feelings with someone else (another family member or other mutual friends?") and ("Can really trust them?")
And ewww, I can't begin to express just how pissy I become when someone yo)u decide to confide in, and you begin to speak not completely explaining your situation when the party you're confiding in decides to cut you off and offer their opinion. And their solution as to what you should do. You're like, "That's nice, however, if you had let me to finished you would see how that solution you offered has already been tried, or you would see that I already tried that and it made matters worse." At this point, the other person is blue in the face and quickly changes the subject. So much for sharing.
Lastly having the fear of damaging your relationship (with a loved one or friend). This can also apply to a family member who offers up what you should do, or they don't understand why you are having such a hard time.
It is in my opinion that Life has either shown or has taught some of us a valuable lesson on what part of our lives we should share and what parts of our lives should not be shared. It is important to keep in mind that our Family and friends (good friends-of which most of us have one or two, in which we can depend upon and share anything with), are not problem solvers, however, sometimes sharing your feelings with one member can relieve some stress and tension. Most importantly when you decide to share your feelings with someone, it is important to:
Really know that person and know in your heart that they are on your team, and are trustworthy. And this doesn't mean that they are the type that is going to agree with you when they know you are wrong. (News Flash: NOT A FRIEND) There is nothing worse than confiding in someone and have others look at you strangely because your business has been put out there. Second, don't share all your business, just share what really bothers you. Or better yet share the solution, (i.e. you are unemployed and funds are running low. The problem is obvious, you stress that you may not find employment before your funds run out, that's all that needs to be shared). Put out the word what your needs are because the number one priority is finding employment, not how you lost the job and blah, blah, blah.
We also learned from "this thing called Life," is that it is very unhealthy to hold things in. But you have a fear of talking to others or you find that you are unable to articulate your feelings, properly to others. Then go another route. Yes, there is therapy or a psychiatrist, however, the fear of sharing your life may occur and you wind up talking about everything except what's bugging you.
I find it therapeutic to write entries in my autobiography. (You fellow writers, will get a kick out this). I read an article some time ago, by Michael Lewis, "4 Reasons Why You Should Write An Autobiography or Personal Memoir," and it got me thinking how this may help me, help myself. Writing an autobiography or Personal Memoir, allows me to deal with my issues. Writing the words down allows me to examine my situation, express my feelings about them without the worry that someone is going to interject, give me an unfavorable stare or offer solutions that are just preposterous. This may not help you, however, I thought I would throw it out there. Why not give it try, next time you feel yourself pulling away from those you love and care about. Hey, what can it hurt?
Although the autobiography or memoir may never be finished or published, (because the story ends upon my death), at least it is a therapeutic remedy to what ails me and gives me a different outlook on "this thing called life." More importantly, there will no longer be a reason to push away loved ones, and friends, with the end result being losing them forever.
I thought it appropriate to add Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," as my sign off. Feels good to be back!

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Why I am Making Strides
Like so many others, breast cancer is a very personal cause for me. It gives me the chance to make a difference and to honor those touched by breast cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research, and services for people dealing with breast cancer. I believe that there will come a day where the pain caused by breast cancer is a thing of the past. And until it arrives, I'm walking to inspire hope to those facing the disease and raising money for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event to help save lives from breast cancer. I hope you'll consider signing up too.
Why I Support the American Cancer Society
Two years ago, I lost my mentor and great friend Karen Olson to this terrible disease. Although most of us are acutely aware of how deadly this disease is and how many lives it claims yearly. The reality of its deadliness doesn't seem to stick until it becomes personal.
Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it throughout their journey to get well. They are investing in innovative research to find, prevent, and treat breast cancer.
I have signed up to walk and fundraise for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. I hope you will consider joining my team and/or making a donation in support of my efforts.
Together, we can make a difference.
Won't you make a donation today? No donation is too small. To make a donation please go to this URL: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/LoisPercente
Make Today Count!
Keep in mind today, even when if things don't go your way, that you are AWESOME! Rule the day!
Good Morning Friends!
Here's wishing you a smooth Monday…

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
England in the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Goward family lived in the district north of Paris which is known in Old French as Gohiere. There are also numerous places in Normandy called Gouy, to which the Anglo-Norman French suffix er was added to make "Gower."
Goward Early Origins
Yorkshire, where a family of Gower, ancestors of the Duke of Sutherland, held a family seat in Stittenham Township. "Descended from Sir Nicholas Gower, knight of the shire for this county in the reign of Edward III., and seated at Stittenham from about the same period." Another reference is more specific, "All of Antiquities agree that this family is one of the oldest in the county of York, though they differ as to its patriarch, whom some say will have to be Sir Alan Gowers, said to be sheriff of that county at the time of the Norman Conquest, while others with greater probability assert that it descended from on Guhyer, whose son, called William Fitz-Guher of Stittenham, was charged with a mark for his lands in the sheriff's account in 1167." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. It is generally agreed that Gower the Poet was from the Stittenham stock. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Today Stittenham is a township in the parish of Sheriff with as few as 92 inhabitants in the late 1800s. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Goward Spelling Variations
Goward Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence in the eras before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate regularly changed the spellings of their names as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Goward have been found, including Gower, Gowers, Gowar, Gowars, Goward, Gore, Goher, Gurr, Goer and many more.
Goward Early Notables (pre 1700)

Notable amongst the family at this time was Henry Gower, a bishop of St. David's around 1347; John Gower (c. 1330-1408), an English poet and acquired the Lordship of Aldington, Kent in 1365, He was probably nephew and heir-male of Sir Robert Gower of Kent, remembered mainly for three long poems...

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Goward were among those contributors:
Goward Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Goward Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Contemporary Notables of the name Goward (post 1700)
Contemporary Notables of the name Goward (post 1700)
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Frangas non flectes
Motto Translation: Thou may'st break, but shalt not bend me.

New Bentley sedan is Fastest Ever
Art & DesignFashion & StyleThe FLYRWhat's Pop'n September 8, 2016 frqntflyr 0
If you're deciding between Beamer, Benz, or Bentley, and you wanna go fast, your choice just got easier. Bentley announced this week its fastest four-door yet: The new 2017 Flying Spur W 12 S claims a top speed of 202 mph.
This version of the Flying Spur, with an increase of 10 horsepower, is 2 mph faster than the normal (if you can call any Bentley that) W-12-powered Flying Spur. The new sedan, with a 626 horsepower, 6.0 liter, twin-turbocharged W-12 engine, goes from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. So if you got four, five seconds from wildin', you could already be out of there.
The interior will be upgraded too. According to Car and Driver, the new version will have W 12 S stitched into the headrests and on the kickplates, along with "knurled paddle shifters behind a three-spoke steering wheel, black engine-turned trim, and a two-tone leather interior." If you're sitting in the back, you can control the temperature and entertainment with one of the detachable touch-screen controllers.
Bentley, which describes the new car as "the ultimate luxury performance sedan," plans to start customer deliveries by the end of the year.
It's not clear yet how much the Flying Spur W 12 S will cost you, but given that the non-S 12-cylinder version is around $228,025, it definitely won't be cheap. So if you had the 202-mph, $200,000+ Bentley on your wish-list, you need to pump your brakes and drive slow, homie.

Zehnder Clean Air Solutions
More success in your area of recycling.
Experience shows that our clients encounter these challenges:
Challenges: Rigorous certification requirements. Specific services can only be offered by fulfilling the strict requirements of external certifying bodies. Consistent compliance with these requirements adds to the workload.
Benefits: Hygiene and cleanliness ready for approval and inspection at all times, because these items are rated particularly highly in the inspection of the recycling industry.
Challenges: Addressing health & safety issues. Bad odours and airborne particulates produce health concerns and complaints from neighbours. They affect staff even more, while mould and bacteria add to damaging health effects.
Benefits: A hygienic environment with low odour and particulate concentration. This results in suitable conditions for neighbours and staff, also complying with statutory requirements and minimising dust explosion risks.
Challenges: Increasing costs, or ongoing need for cost reductions. Maintaining and cleaning specialist equipment is costly, and recycling can be energy-intensive. Technology and salaries get more expensive, while your budget remains limited.
Benefits: Lower costs while maintaining standards. Improved productivity and energy efficiency plus more effective working help to keep in line with your budget.
Challenges: Increased absenteeism. Difficult working conditions in recycling centres lead to lower levels of job satisfaction, less staff productivity and more absenteeism. Longer term health effects can lead to long-term absenteeism and staff turnover.
Benefits: A healthy working environment reduces sickness & absenteeism, and improves staff retention and individuals' output. It also helps increase staff motivation, having a positive effect on quality of work.
Challenges: Safe-guarding your corporate image. The reputation of your company plays a key role in its long-term growth. Insufficient health & safety for neighbours and employees, or inadequate processes, put it at risk.
Benefits: A reputation for healthy, satisfied employees and neighbours together with positive inspection results.
Zehnder Clean Air Solutions satisfies your needs
Dust is a daily and persistent problem in all kind of businesses: Ongoing processes create dust which is raised by constant movement. In addition, dust particles enter from outside. Even routinely performed building cleaning cannot solve the dust problem entirely.
Zehnder Clean Air Solutions delivers value to your business:
The environment meets high standards typically required by inspectors. Hygiene and cleanliness are continuously maintained with up to 70% less effort. Dust particles, spores and gases are all reduced.
Less risk of health problems, because up to 90% of particulates and odours are constantly being extracted from the air.
Cleaning, energy usage, absenteeism, maintenance and business interruptions are all reduced by maintaining a hygienic working environment. Zehnder has benchmarked cost savings in each of these areas.
Clean filtered air reduces sick leave by up to 40%. Reducing unhealthy particles makes your workforce healthier and more motivated, improving retention, output and work quality.
Satisfied employees and neighbours, efficient processes and positive inspection results are enabled by hygienic conditions. Together these strengthen the company's image and reputation.
We calculate your saving potential; you turn it into profit.
The value of Clean Air Solutions is measurable.
The pay-back has been proven by many of our clients.
Our customers are convinced by the benefits of Zehnder Clean Air Solutions.

2005 BMW 6 Series Convertible - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Fast, fun, gorgeous and furious!
By Beamer Girl on
Vehicle2005 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
ReviewMy husband bought me this car after I had been eyeing it up on line for months. I could not be happier. I, too, drove a Porcshe 911 Carrera and the 645 makes that car look like a joke! I have never had any problem with taking turns at high speeds and the driving experience is simply that... an experience. The lines on this car are gorgeous and the color combo I chose is just stunning (silver grey metallic with grey top and burgundy interior)! Definitely gets lots of compliments and stares! I absolutely adore this car!
Best FeaturesSince I chose the sport package, I love the 19" rims with the low profile run flat tires! I also love the iDrive system. While it may seem tricky to navigate at first, it soon becomes very easy to use and it looks great too! I also opted for the upgraded sound system which I love too!
Worst FeaturesWhile I am quite pleased with my car, they may want to make the iDrive system a little easier to navigate for those who have trouble with it.
