Professional and efficient
Very professional and efficient. Great Customer service. Would recommend.
Very friendly and professional Doctor and staff
I previously worked years ago for a cosmetology company owned by a dermatologist. I was familiar with Advanced Dermatology (Dr. Redmond) and was truly happy with the service I received. Doctor Aldridge and staff knew what the condition was I had been experiencing and assisted right away with a plan of action. Knowing that the condition could continue, I was informed that I could make a complimentary return visit, if needed. That is remarkable customer service. I have and will continue to recommend Advance Dermatology to my friends and family.
High quality service
I have been going to Dr Redmond for many years. I was referred to him by a friend. He is very thorough and has a great bedside manner
Critique of recent treatment by Dr. Redmond
And here is another deserved experience rating of FIVE from Richard, probably one of the oldest and surving clients of Dr. Redmond. He has always identified and corrected skin situations that have confronted me through the years. It has helped me enjoy a healthy life style. It is a confortable feeling to know you a an excellent Doctor that will handle any concerning situation that could occur.
I have been with Michael for a very long time. He is an excellent doctor. Since moving to White Lake I have still been making my yearly check up in Livonia with him and his friendly staff. Oh yes, and he is always very much on time with appointments. Thanks Doc for everything.
I will recommend anyone to go on this office. They wait on you at the front desk with big smile and treat you like 1 million bucks. The staff is highly qualified and they know what they're doing.Thank you Collenne and all the staff!! Dr. Redmond is a great doctor, super qualified. He is been taking care of me and my kids for a long time. I can't wait to meet with dr Brindise for cosmetic consultation.
Very professional. Dr. Redmond is very patient with the patient.
A very good experience for my first visit
Have been in Florida for 10 and 1/2 years and was treated for skin condition. I had a very good Doctor in Florida. However, after meeting Dr. Redmond I feel very satisfied I will receive the same quality of treatment I received in Florida. A very good experience and feel confident Dr. Redmond will take care of any problems that come up.
Quality experience!
I had quickly developed a large skin tag right on the eyelash that was starting to annoyingly come into view of my vision. I was unsure whether a dermatologist could remove, or if I'd need to go to a plastic surgeon since it was on a sensitive area. My regular dematologist was not available for at least a month or more. Having recently received a direct mail piece from Dr. Redmond I decided to give him a try. I received an appointment within days of my call. He deadened the eye area and removed the tag without issue, and sent it to be checked for skin cancer. His office was very efficient and personable. Great service and close to our home in Northville.
Dr Redmond is professional but very friendly and easy to talk with.
I have been going to Dr. Redmond for many years and have always been treated the way I expect. My last visit was even more than I expected, in that, Dr Redmond went out of his way to make sure the procedure I needed was taken care of before I left for a trip. He also followed up with a call to confirm everything was OK. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He is a very caring person.
Great place to go
Very professional.
Great first time visit
Dr. Redmond was on time, professional and answered all of my questions. His staff was also great. I would recommend his practice.
Very professional and informative
Dr. Brindise was extremely informative and professional as was her staff. My wife and I had a total body scan and she explained what she found in layman's terms. This was our first appointment, but it won't be our last.
I was very pleased!
I stopped in to see the place and see if my insurance was accepted. I was greeted right away and had an appointment for that afternoon. I met Dr. Brindise and her MA and was very happy with both ladies. I would definitely recommend you to my friends.
Friendly, competent, professional.
I met with Dr. Brindise. I have never met a doctor who can talk so fast. She gives you all the information that she can. Her eye contact says you have her undivided attention. Dr. Brindise explains your situation in detail along with optional treatments and why she is recommending a specific treatment. Dr. Brindise made sure I was okay with her recommendation. I actually left the office excited about the diagnosis and course of treatment. I was confident that I would get better. Dr.Brindise was so personable I felt like a friend. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. BRINDISE TO ALL OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Met My Expectations as always
Have visited Dr. Redmond numerous times over the years for poison oak, ivy issues and several times for pre-cancerous skin areas. He and his assistants are always willing to listen and take the proper treatment for me. NOTE: The "recommend" box below is not functional
The doctor was very professional as she listened, and gave specific directions as well as explanations, with followup in 2 weeks.
Always friendly good service
Dr. Redmond is prompt, thorough and conveys a feeling of friendliness. I was not aware that my visit was to a spa.
An altogether delightfully pleasant experience.
Seeing Dr. Redman was like taking a trip back in time, a time when people were treated like people not numbers, patients were more important than the money, and service triumphed over electronic expediency. If nothing about this office experience changes, it will stay far superior to the "streamlined" offices of today.
Best ever
Been going for years never had a skin problem he couldn't solve nice atmosphere friendly staff hands down the best dermatologist ever
Unlike most medical practices where you wait for an hour or more...
Dr. Redmond was quick in his assessments, treated my condition, and I was out the door in no time. Most remarkable!
great service, very friendly staff.
Dr. Redmond always understands my skin problems. I go there often and for years and he always helps to solve the problems with my skin.
dr brindise .very good, & very helpful explaining everything. i am so happy with her,I think she is the best.Rose Chaldecott
High quality service and professional friendly atmosphere
I have been going to Dr. Redmond for over 25 years. He is thorough, very friendly and takes time to a swear four questions. The office staff is very professional and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend their services.
All you want in a visit to the doctor
While I never thought of Dr. R's office as a "spa" [ no hot tubs], it IS a warm and caring place where you feel like an individual, not a number. You may wait a bit past your scheduled time, but that's an assurance that you yourself will receive the full attention and care you need. Dr. Redmond is someone who inspires confidence and with whom you can feel comfortable discussing any concerns. He's very careful and on two occasions discovered 'spots' that needed attention, which I had overlooked or dismissed as nothing. And all the nurses/assistants treat you like a welcome guest. You'll receive reminders when it's time for a checkup, but no pressure. Five stars.
Excellent experience
I have been a patient of Dr. Redmond for 25 years. To me he is professioniilism personified as is his staff.
Dr. Redmond is the BEST!
Dr. Redmond is one of the most caring doctor I know. I have been going to him for a number of years. When I was having financial difficulties he took the care and times to work with me. During that time I moved about 30 miles from his office and still make the trips to his office because he is the BEST!
I always have a great experience when I come to Dr. Redmond. The treatment prescribed always helps my skin. Thank you Dr. Redmond
Excellent Care.
I have been Dr. Redmond's patient for many years. He and his staff and very personable and professional., The "doc" is very thorough, knowledgeable and always informative about my care. If I ever have a problem, I know that his staff will make sure that I am taken care of as soon as possible.
High quality professional and friendly service
Friendly reception, sparkling clean facilities (means a lot to me), on time appointment (did not have to wait - also means a lot to me). Dr. Redmond was excellent about explaining everything and answering questions. He's my doc from now on.
High Quality of Service and Very Friendly.
Dr. Redmond, cured my problem in one visit. After many months of self doctoring I did the right thing and went to see Dr. Redmond. My son was treated for teen age acne and I had a couple of non malignant lumps removed many years ago. When you visit Dr. Redmond he has the skill and talent to put you at ease and make you feel very comfortable. When my son first went to see Dr. Redmond, he told me that the Doctor was the nicest man and I agree with him.
Great Appointment with Dr Redmond
My neighbor saw Dr. Redmond and he found cancerous cells on her face. She spoke highly of the doctor and encouraged me to get an assessment. I called and was able to get a timely appointment. Dr.Redmond and his staff were very friendly and professional. Dr. Redmond did a full body assessment that allowed me to feel very private and comfortable. He thoroughly explained the skin changes I am experiencing and what to watch for in the future. Thank you.
High quality service
I love that you can get a appointment very quickly. Very professional staff The Doctors have always been right on. My family Have been seeing Dr. Redmond for years, and will continue to do so. I would recommend Dr. Redmond and staff to any one that wants experienced High quality care.
Dr. Redmond saved my life. His thoughtfulness and expertise helped me navigate through the process of healing a large patch of Basal cell from atop my head. With Dr. Redmonds guidance i am now pain free and cancer free. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and wisdom. Thank you Dr. Redmond!
High quality service
I was able get an appointment within forty eight hours from the date I called Your service was very good.
Astute High Quality Professional Service with an equally high quality of personal care.
As the title says, Dr. Redmond has always offered the highest of quality professional service. He has also always portrayed himself caring of me personally, as well as the world and environment in which we live.
A wonderful doctor
This was my first visit to Dr. Redmond and I'll definitely be going back. He is so knowledgeable, kind and thorough! He provided a comprehensive skin check and diagnosed a problem for me then also left me with lots of great advice and a choice of medicines. My problem area is much better and I'm happy to recommend him highly.
Excellent Care
I am a long-time patient of Dr. Redmond and have always received excellent care from him. He is knowledgeable and a very friendly person. I left Michigan eleven years ago and returned in April this year and looked up his phone number to make an appointment for a check-up. It was like I had never left.
Our Family's only Dermatologist for over 30 years!!!!
Our entire family have been patients of Dr Redmond since 1985!! He is a wonderful Dermatologist, has treated everything from teenage acne to removal of many pre-cancer skin issues!! Dr Redmond takes the time to answer all our questions and we never feel he is rushing us through our appointment. The entire staff are knowledgeable, friendly and caring, each and every visit!! Would NEVER see anyone else
Michael J Redmond, MD is a great Dermatologist
I had a rash problem and went to another Dermatologist for a few months with no success. I went to Dr. Redmond and he helped me with my problem on my first visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Redmond for any dermatology problem you may have.
Excellent Care
Dr. Redmond and his staff were very welcoming and compassionate. Thank you all for putting my mind at ease.

Wholesale CBD Oil Isolate Products
If you would like to purchase this type of Wholesale CBD Isolate In Colorado , you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the CBD oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our Wholesale Pure CBD Isolate In Colorado specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake Wholesale CBD Isolate In Colorado, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK.
Wholesale CBD 99.9% Isolate In Colorado
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called Wholesale CBD Isolate In Colorado who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, Wholesale CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Wholesale CBD Oil Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact Hemp Genix to obtain specific prices. Hemp Genix is the leading company for Wholesale CBD Isolate Products.

Wholesale CBD Oil
Purchasing CBD oil on a wholesale basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of CBD oil produced by the plant.
CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity level between 17-40%.
Why Do You Need To Buy CBD Wholesale From Hemp Genix?
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. You can easily find your requirement at Hemp Genix. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

Wholesale CBD Isolates
Wholesale CBD isolate is a powdered cannabidiol extract that is incredibly pure, and that contains the 'medicinal' parts of cannabis. This anhydrous substance is 99% CBD, and it can be used as a food additive, added to liquids, or ingested in other ways to enjoy the medicinal benefits of CBD.
CBD oil use is a relatively new thing, and there are still a lot of questions about exactly how it works and what it can do, but it is known that it is safe, and if you can get CBD That does not contain THC (as CBD isolates are known to), then you can get the healing and pain relief benefits without the psychoactive effects.
CBD can be used to help calm people down, help them focus, and also help people who suffer from chronic pain conditions as well. CBD will not get you 'high' but it can help with arthritis, ADHD, nagging injuries, and even with skin conditions.
Some people mix Wholesale CBD isolates in with e-liquids, to inhale the substance. Others put them into edibles, which can help with the bio-availability (as long as you don't over-cook them, breaking the CBD down).
There is a lot of misinformation out there about CBD. The oils are actually legal in most parts of the world (Canada is one of the only places where it is formally considered a controlled substance, even though it does not contain THC). Wholesale CBD isolates are expensive, because of the purification process, but they are very potent, and you should find that they do their job very well.
What's In CBD
Cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol are the two cannabidoids that occur naturally in Hemp. Thy are very similar when they are examined at the molecular level, and initially many law enforcement departments treated them as being the same. However, it has since been found that CBD has the focus and mind-enhancing aspects of cannabis, and that it can act as a nootropic - but it is not a psychotropic.
THC's mind-altering behaviour is what makes it illgal - some people experience paranoia, and some people experience highs that make them lose control of their faculties. This makes THC dangerous in certain environments (such as if you are driving, or operating heavy machinery), and that's why it is considered illegal in many states.
Cannabis has pain relief effects, and it can improve the quality of life for people who have serious medical conditions. Medical marijuana is one option. CBD is an option for people who want the pain relief, without the mind altering effects. Wholesale CBD isolate makes it possible to take in CBD without the strong taste, and without the 'side effects'.
CBD and THC are not addictive. Some people enjoy the 'highs', but that doesn't mean that they are going to get biologically addicted to it. CBD offers relief of pain at the neuro-synapse level. The pain relief can be lasting, but it does not cure whatever was causing the pain. Rather, it reduces the production of cytokines by the Glial cells in the injured area, stopping you from feeling pain while there is an injury.
The way that CBD and THC interact with each other when you smoke marijuana are complicated, and it's hard to know exactly what taking CBD isolates by themselves will do. Initial reports from 'early adopters' however, suggest that Wholesale CBD will work to ease Parkinson's tremors, help autistic people focus, soothe the pain from arthritis, and generally improve their quality of life. It's well worth trying if you have already tried painkillers, and found them to be ineffective for your needs.

Tim Shepard MIT Thesis This thesis addresses the problems of managing the transmissions of stations in a spread-spectrum packet radio network so that the system can remain active when scaled to millions of nodes concentrated in a metropolitan area. The principal difficulty in scaling a system of packet radio stations is interference from other stations in the system. Interference comes both from nearby stations and from distant stations. Each nearby interfering station is a particular problem, because a signal received from it may be as strong as or stronger than the desired signal from some other station. Far interfering stations are not individually a problem, since each of their signals will be weaker... Read more

When pursuing a degree in the liberal arts, you want to make sure that you are attending one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country. A liberal arts college is a college in which students concentrate their studies in various liberal arts and sciences. While liberal arts and sciences cover a wide variety of studies, they are generally considered to include such areas as literature, linguistics, mathematics, music, science, philosophy and theater, among others. Most liberal arts colleges offer only undergraduate studies, with students who complete their studies moving on to graduate schools to gain advanced degrees. Students who wish to obtain a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of the Arts degree are those who should be most interested in liberal arts colleges, as should those seeking such majors as various cultural languages and studies, classical literature, psychology, linguistics studies, sociology, religious studies and economics. In addition, many students who have not yet decided on their major pursue an education at liberal arts colleges, moving on to graduate schools once they have made their decision as to what they wish their majors to be.
How to Find the Best Liberal Arts Colleges
When searching for a liberal arts college to attend, the first thing you want to do is make sure that the school you are considering is accredited, whether you are looking into attending a traditional brick and mortar school or one of the top online liberal arts colleges. The purpose of attending a school that is accredited is to ensure that your credits and hard work you put in while learning is recognized by other universities and by employers. Schools are accredited through one of several organizations, which make sure that the school maintains a certain level of academic standards. Make sure to check with your school to find out if they are accredited.
All of the top ranking liberal arts schools, such as Williams College and Amherst College, are accredited schools. Many of the top ranking schools are also members of various consortia or are otherwise associated with other nearby colleges, making them an excellent way to lead into the associated colleges. Another thing to look for in a liberal arts college is to make sure that the college has a wide variety of majors and courses to choose from. For example, Wellesly College has over 50 majors and over 1,000 courses to choose from, and also provides the ability to cross-register classes with Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It is important to take liberal arts college rankings into consideration when trying to determine the best school choice for your particular needs. College rankings are a good way to help you choose the best private liberal arts colleges, the best small liberal arts colleges, or find a school in a particular region of the Unites States: the best liberal arts colleges in the south, the best liberal arts colleges in the west, the best liberal arts colleges in the midwest, or the best liberal arts colleges in New England. College rankings will even help you evaluate the best online liberal arts colleges.
Best Liberal Arts College Careers
Those with a degree from one of the Best Liberal Arts Colleges can make a very good amount of money in a wide variety of jobs and professions. For example, a public relations manager overseeing the public relations and marketing section of a company can make around $101,000 a year. To qualify as a public relations manager, not only will you want to complete your bachelor's degree from one of the Best Liberal Arts Colleges, but you will also need to take courses specific to public relations, communications, speaking and journalism. Another example of a high paying job for which a liberal arts degree can prepare you is that of a marketing manager, focusing on sales, advertising and public relations. Marketing managers have an average salary of around $118,000 a year, though to get a higher salary you may want to consider also getting your MBA. Marketing managers are needed in a wide variety of industries; practically any industry that has a need for advertisement can benefit from a marketing manager. In addition to public relations manager and marketing manager, some building inspector jobs require a bachelor's degree, and building inspectors can earn about $52,000 or so per year. These are just three examples of jobs available to the holder of a degree from one of the best Liberal Arts Colleges and, as you can see, a bachelor of arts or bachelor of sciences degree can help you qualify for a wide variety of jobs.

Inadequate meat content, by-products, low quality grains, fat of unidentifiable origin, carcinogenic preservatives.
This food receives a 1 star rating simply because there is nothing lower.
The primary ingredient in the food is by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
The second ingredient is Corn gluten meal, another low quality ingredient. Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food. The AAFCO definition of corn gluten meal is "the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm". In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed. Corn appears a second time as the fourth ingredient.
The next ingredient in this food is brewers rice which is a low quality grain that is by-product of the alcohol industry for which the AAFCO definition is the dried extracted residue of rice resulting from the manufacture of wort (liquid portion of malted grain) or beer and may contain pulverized dried spent hops in an amount not to exceed 3 percent. Cellulose is pure junk filler. It is undigestible by dogs and otherwise known as sawdust.
Animal fat is a further low quality ingredient and is impossible to determine the source. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as "obtained from the tissues of mammals and/or poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
This food contains chemical preservatives (BHA, BHT and propyl gallate) that are believed to be carcinogenic.

PROVO, Utah—Vivint Smart Home, a smart home services provider based here, made several big announcements at CES 2017 last week, most notably Vivint Sky, the company's new smart home assistant that uses artificial intelligence, or AI, to manage all of the devices in a connected home.
The fact that Vivint Solar officially filed with U.S. regulators last week for an initial public offering of common stock is an indication that solar continues to be a hot option for security companies.
Vivint Solar's parent company is Provo, Utah-based home automation/home security company Vivint, which was bought by The Blackstone Group in 2012 for more than $2 billion.
Now, Reuters reported Aug. 26, Vivint Solar has filed for an IPO and set its fundraising target at about $200 million. And the news service said Vivint Solar lead underwriters to the offering are Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and Credit Suisse.
The company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VSLR, Reuter said. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds to repay debts, make investments and for "other general corporate purposes," the news service said.
Reuters had reported earlier in August that Vivint Solar had confidentially filed for an IPO. Around that same time, Protection 1, one of the nation's largest home and commercial security, also announced it would be launching a solar division called Brite Energy. Sales of solar panels to homes and businesses are expected to begin this fall.
And earlier this year, GHS Interactive Security, a new California-based security company, announced it was partnering with Solar Universe, a leading nationwide residential solar company, to combine security and solar into a comprehensive home automation package.
Since its launch in 2011, Vivint Solar has grown to be the second largest solar installer in the country.
Reuters said that the nation's residential solar energy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28 percent, to about 1,713 megawatts of capacity in 2017, according to research firm GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association.
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.—Following the recent opening of a new facility here, Vivint Solar now has four locations in Massachusetts, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
PROVO, Utah—Vivint Solar, an affiliate of home automation/home security provider Vivint, announced April 16 that Dwain Kinghorn has been named chief strategy and innovations officer and will align the company product portfolio with new business development channels.
PROVO, Utah—Vivint Solar, an affiliate of home automation/home security provider Vivint, has purchased Solmetric, a company that makes tools to assess sites and performance, the company announced Jan. 24.
I wrote back in November about how Brendon Merkley, the COO of Vivint Solar, had left to work for SolarCity, Vivint Solar's larger competitor.
Now, Vivint Solar—an affiliate of home automation/home security provider Vivint—is suing Merkley for breach of contract.
In the lawsuit, filed Dec. 4 in U.S. District Court in Utah, Vivint Solar said it is bringing the case to prevent Merkley "from violating his contractual non-competition, non-disclosure, and customer/vendor non-solicitation covenants by going to work for Solar City." Vivint also wants to stop him from disclosing trade secrets and soliciting Vivint Solar's employees to go and work for SolarCity, the lawsuit says.
Vivint Solar is seeking to have the court restrain Merkley from working for Solar City for the time period his non-competition covenants apply. Vivint Solar also is asking for damages.
However, in another twist, Merkley and Solar City, which is based in in San Mateo, Calif., are suing Vivint Solar in California state court, saying non-competition covenants Merkley signed with Vivint Solar are unenforceable under California law, according to Vivint Solar's lawsuit.
Vivint Solar, based in Provo, Utah, was established in 2011 and quickly has become the nation's second-largest provider of residential solar systems, employing the successfull door-knocking sales techniques of Vivint. However, Solar City, founded in 2006, is the largest home solar provider.
Merkley was one of the original executives of Vivint Solar and a board member, so had an in-depth knowledge of the company, according to the lawsuit. He was "the face and voice of Vivint Solar" with the public and at community events and industry functions, before starting his new job at Solar City on Dec. 1, the lawsuit says.
Merkley tried to recruit a Vivint Solar VP to join him at SolarCity before he left Vivint Solar, but the VP refused, the lawsuit says.
Merkley was not the first Vivint Solar executive to bail for SolarCity. Former Vivint Solar CEO Tanguy Serra also joined SolarCity last spring.
[UPDATE ON NOV. 14: I heard back late yesterday from SolarCity, which confirmed that Vivint Solar COO Brendon Merkley has joined SolarCity. Molly Canales, a communications associate with that company, told me in an email, "Brendon has accepted an offer to join SolarCity and we're excited to welcome him aboard." So my report below is no longer speculative.]
Vivint Solar has been making headlines of late regarding the rapid success of the 2-year-old business and the new round of financing it just secured. Now here's more about the company: The COO of Vivint Solar—a division of home automation/home security provider Vivint—has reportedly jumped ship for SolarCity, Vivint Solar's larger competitor.
If true, COO Brendon Merkley is following in the footsteps of former Vivint Solar CEO Tanguy Serra, who bailed for SolarCity last spring.
Last month, Vivint Solar announced it had secured $540 million in new financing. And this month, the success of Vivint Solar—based in Provo, Utah—was the topic of Reuters feature story titled, "Knock! Knock! Solar company wins converts going door to door." The story says that Vivint has quickly captured a 9 percent share of the residential solar installation market in the United States.
Interestingly, the Nov. 8 also extensively quotes COO Merkley on some of the secrets of Vivint Solar's success. Vivint Solar also announced in June that Merkley had been elected as the executive committee's state policy committee chair for the Solar Energy Industry Association.
But Reuters reports that SolarCity remains the market leader, with a 26 percent share.
And yesterday, Greentech Media reported that Merkley had defected to SolarCity.
I have reached out to Vivint Solar and SolarCity but Greentech Media says in its Nov. 12 report that it has already done that. "Vivint has confirmed that Merkley has left the firm. SolarCity has confirmed that Merkley is joining the firm," the site reported.
Greg Butterfield this fall took over Serra's old job as CEO of Vivint Solar. Who will replace Merkley? Stay posted!
PROVO, Utah—Thomas Plagemann has joined Vivint Solar as executive vice president and head of capital markets, the company recently announced.
PROVO, Utah—Vivint Solar raised $540 million in two rounds of financing for its residential solar projects, the company announced Oct. 18.
PROVO, Utah—Greg Butterfield has been named the new CEO of Vivint Solar, the residential solar integrator announced in a Sept. 5 news release.

WASHINGTON - The Washington Capitals fired coach Adam Oates and won't renew the contract of general manager George McPhee after failing to make the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2007.
The team announced the moves in a news release Saturday.
Oates, a former star player for the Capitals, had one season left on his three-year contract. This was his first job as a head coach.
McPhee's contract was up. He has been the GM of the team for 17 years, drafting Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom in the first round.
While Ovechkin has won three league MVP awards and again led the NHL in scoring this season with 51 goals, the Capitals haven't made it past the second round of the playoffs during the Russian forward's tenure.

This is my little man, Sam. If you look closely, you'll see fur peeking out from between his toes, a sure sign he's a house puppy, which is fine with me. Being an indoor dog makes it easier for me to give him hugs, rub his soft silky ears and tell him how much he's loved and adored. Sam is the only one of my four-legged family members who gets to do pretty much whatever he wants, and because he's nearly perfect, he has rarely heard the word "no."
Sam captured our hearts the second we saw him. James said Sam was the only dog he knew who'd read and memorized the "Puppy Handbook." He oozes cute and knows all the ways to make you say, "Oh... Isn't he adorable?"<PREVIEWEND>
When James first found him on our property, Sam was emaciated and had a severe case of heart worms. Even so, he smiled big; wagged his tail and pawed at the air as he danced around on his hind legs. The vet was amazed Sam had mustered that much energy and was hesitant to say if Sam would make it through the next few days, much less survive heart worm treatment. However, he was adamant that Sam wouldn't have survived another two or three days without us. While there are those who might say, "he's just a dog," I haven't met another living creature, man included, who's consistently as loyal and nonjudgemental as a dog.
For the last four weeks, Goldie's been restricted to the bathroom except for when I take her outside on a leash. The vet said she has spinal stenosis, a type of arthritis in dogs that causes the joints in the vertebrae to swell, which puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves and causes acute pain. With lots of luck and quiet time, she may heal. If not, I can't allow her to suffer in pain. Recently I've let her outside alone, but since her mission seems to be singularly focused on chasing deer, I've resumed taking her out on a leash. The good news is, she's no longer imprisoned in the bathroom, and she seems to be pain free.
During the weeks she's lived in the bathroom, my little man, Sam, repeatedly pawed at the bathroom door. The first time I let him in to see her, he walked over to Goldie, leaned his head down until their noses touched and then placed his paw on top of hers. Goldie perked up and wagged her tail, and with that, Sam laid down in the shower and stayed there for the next few days.
We all value friendship and loyalty, but did you know that love and friendship is one of the most important components of healing? To have a friend, you must first be a friend, which means you must sometimes make the first move. Like Sam, sometimes all you have to do is just be there so your friend knows you care. It's really a small gesture, but it means the world to the one in need. Last night my friend, Elaine, in North Carolina, called to check on me. She made me feel loved and valued. Thank you, sweet friend:)
Is there someone you should reach out to; a person who could benefit from knowing that someone cares and thinks about them? So what if it's "their turn" to call you? Send them an email or a Facebook message. Better yet, pick up the phone and call them.
... and thank you, God, for sending us Sam. He needed a good family, and we needed a great dog.

All of the guest writers were asked to write on the topic "Reflection." Today on MommyMaestra, author Amy Costales reflects on her reason for picking up a pen to write for Latino children. I hope that you are as moved by her article as I am.
|© il-fede - Fotolia.com
And yet it is not just Latino students who are robbed of this history. It is a nation. It is not just Latino students who are robbed of their reflection in literature. It is a nation. 25% school-age children in the U.S. are Latino. By 2050, that number is predicted to be closer to 50%. To ignore Latino history and literature is to ignore la historia of a very significant segment of our population. It is equivalent to a nation not seeing its true self. As we go through this significant demographic shift being brought on by an aging white population and a young Latino population, an accurate reflection of nation would facilitate the change. I am no longer just concerned about how Latino children see themselves. I am concerned about how a nation sees itself. Latinos are part of the "we" that make this nation, as are all ethnic groups.
Personally, I am feeling the need to pick up my pencil again. I feel sad that I still have Latino students who use the word "American" to mean white. And if my daughter has grown, I now have a bilingual son who deserves a book about his life with his part Latina mother and his Mexican stepfather, as well as his Italian-American stepmother, and his Scandinavian-American father. He is as complex as this nation. This time I am going to think about the complexity of the Latino population itself, for as we write (or read) about Latino children, there is a diversity in regards to family, ethnicity, generations in the U.S., region, language, and social class that needs to be portrayed. It is a mosaic.

The presidents of Portland State University and Portland Community College on Thursday will sign a reverse transfer agreement aimed at enhancing the job prospects of graduates.
The agreement will allow the schools to award associate's degrees to PCC students who have transferred to PSU. Students who didn't formally complete a degree via current standards but have fulfilled two-year degree program requirements will be eligible to receive an associate's degree.
The agreement is being funded by a two-year, $450,000 Lumina Foundation grant awarded in October to the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development and the Oregon University System.
The Lumina Foundation is a private, independent foundation based in Indianapolis that aims to expand access to and success in education beyond high school.

I have one of these kits ordered from SG. When they had these a few years ago, I picked up two kits at that time. Those kits were primo, new M16A1s with the receiver and barrel removed. Will post here when the latest kit is delivered.
dealers warehouse has these kits also, picture looks good but for those who received these kits pictures do not always represent what you recieve, plus no mag
The Dealer WarehouseColt M16A1 Parts Set w/o Barrel
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Got my kit from SG. Definitely not as pictured. Serial # on front sight hang tag indicates late 1970s or early 1980s Colt commercial production for export. Kit appears to have been "assembled" from parts bins as the finish and condition varies from part to part. Both handguards were cracked as was the buttstock. Buttstock smelled like it had been marinated in a tub of fish chum, wicked! The buttplate was completely toasted. The delta ring was worn to silver and had been sliced and peeled off. Front sight taper pins were missing along with a few lower small parts. Bolt, carrier and upper were in excellent or better condition. SG sent replacement handguards, both cracked and a replacement delta ring that appeared to be unused. Mag is a new steel E-Lander 30 round manufactured in Izzyland.
I had a good set of furniture along with a nice box of used small parts and new Colt small hole civie fcg bits. Other than a barrel and a backordered NDS A1 receiver, I am GTG.
So, are these kits worth the investment? For me, yes as this is probably the last bite that we will get at M16 mil surp kits. If you want to do a Retro project, this is a good beginning for your parts box. If the purchaser has expectations of a kit from a long stored unused weapon, then not so much.
They put the bad with the good.. One L.O. ordered a shoulder holster.. Oh my God did he rip into them..
"This rig is such a piece of crap, I was afraid to throw it out in fear someone would pick it out of the damn trash and use it. I took it in the back yard and burned it."

They never printed mine on the M16a1 kit.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
SMG don't like to print negative reviews.
they never did print mine on that cheap scope that the knobs broke off when i attempted to make an adjustment--

Senate rejects payroll tax cut extension for now
WASHINGTON - The Senate on Thursday sidetracked rival plans to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut, in dueling votes that pave the way for negotiations on a compromise on a core component of President Barack Obama's jobs program.
First, Republicans defeated Obama's plan to extend the payroll tax cut through the end of next year while also making it more generous for workers.
Minutes later, in a vote that exposed rare divisions among Senate Republicans, more than two dozen of the GOP's 47 lawmakers also voted to kill an alternative plan backed by their powerful leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, to renew an existing 2 percentage point payroll tax cut.
Many Republicans and even some Democrats say the payroll tax cut hasn't worked to boost jobs and is too costly with the federal deficit requiring the government to borrow 36 cents of every dollar it spends.
The defeat of the competing plans came as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said for the first time that renewing the payroll tax cut would boost the lagging economy, a view many in his party don't share. Boehner also promised compromise on a renewal of long-term jobless benefits through the end of 2012.
The payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits are at the center of a costly, politically-charged year-end agenda in which Democrats seem poised to prevail in renewing a tax cut that many Republicans back only reluctantly. But Republicans are insisting in a switch from last year that the payroll tax cut and jobless benefits be paid for by cutting spending.
Video: Obama pushes for payroll tax extension
Republicans unveil plan to extend payroll tax cut
White House readies for payroll tax cut fight
Both parties are seeking the political high ground as next year's elections loom, with Democrats accusing Republicans of siding with the rich, and Republicans countering that Democrats were taxing small business owners who create jobs.
The first payroll tax plan to fall was a Democratic measure that was the centerpiece of Obama's jobs package announced in September. It would cut the Social Security payroll tax from 6.2 percent to 3.1 percent next year and also extend the cut to employers, with its hefty $265 billion cost paid for by slapping a 3.25 percent surtax on income exceeding $1 million.
Republicans and a handful of Democrats combined to kill the measure on a 51-49 tally that fell well short of the 60 required under Senate rules. For the first time, a Republican, Susan Collins of Maine, voted to support the millionaires' surcharge.
The White House issued a statement by Obama that accused Republicans of voting to raise taxes on 160 million people because they "refused to ask a few hundred thousand millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share." The statement didn't mention the GOP alternative.
In a surprising result, Democrats and more than two dozen Republicans voted 78-20 to kill the $120 billion GOP alternative that would have simply extended the existing 2 percentage point payroll tax cut, financed by freezing federal workers' pay through 2015 and reducing the government bureaucracy.
"Wouldn't we be better off using the proceeds of these reductions in spending to reduce the debt and deficit," said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Republican opponents "insist on helping the very wealthy while turning their back on the middle class," while another member of the leadership, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Republicans were in full-blown retreat just days after Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said on "Fox News Sunday" that "the payroll tax holiday has not stimulated job creation. We don't think that is a good way to do it."
On Thursday, however, Boehner disagreed.
"I don't think there's any question that the payroll tax relief, in fact, helps the economy," Boehner said. "You're allowing more Americans, frankly, every working American, to keep more of their money in their pocket. Frankly, that's a good thing."
Meanwhile, House Republicans readied legislation of their own that aides said likely would include the tax cut extension as well as renewed benefits for long-term victims of the worst recession in decades and a painfully slow recovery.
Boehner made clear that all costs must be paid for, and said higher taxes were a non-starter.
Thursday's votes indicated there was lots of reluctance among Republicans to renew the costly payroll tax cut, which even some Democrats said hasn't much helped the economy.
"I can't find many people who even know that they're getting it, okay?" said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who opposed both plans. "So with that being said, we're going to double down on something that we thought should have worked that didn't work."
With unemployment hovering around 9 percent nationally, Obama urged Congress in September to renew and expand the Social Security payroll tax cut for workers that he signed a year ago, and called as well for an extension of benefits that can cover up to 99 weeks for the long-term jobless.
State unemployment insurance programs guarantees coverage for six months, but as in previous downturns, Congress approved additional benefits in 2008. Expiration of those payments would mean an average loss of $296 in weekly income for 1.8 million households in January, and a total of 6 million throughout 2012.
On the tax cut extension, Republicans prefer a simple one-year continuation of the existing law, jettisoning Obama's call to deepen the cut to 3.1 percentage points on workers' first $106,800 in earnings, while expanding it to cut in half employers' Social Security contributions for their $5 million in payroll.
To pay for the measure, Senate Republicans proposed freezing federal workers' pay through 2015 extending a two-year-freeze recommended by Obama and reducing the bureaucracy by 200,000 jobs through attrition.
The Democratic plan would give a worker earning $50,000 a more than $1,500 tax cut; the GOP plan would provide a $1,000 tax cut for such an earner. A two-income family making $200,000 would reap a $6,000 tax cut under the Democratic plan and a $4,000 tax cut under the GOP version.

Planned Giving
The Port Royal Society was established to recognize those donors who have continued the generous legacy of Henry Francis du Pont by remembering Winterthur in their estate plans. The name of this premier donor group comes from a historic eighteenth-century house in Philadelphia. In 1931, Henry Francis du Pont rescued important architectural elements from Port Royal, which was slated for demolition, and had them installed at Winterthur as the primary entry and reception room. The Port Royal Entrance Hall and Parlor encapsulate how vision and planning can create a tangible legacy. These gifts bolster Winterthur's collections, garden and library. There are many ways to make legacy gifts to Winterthur.
Examples of planned gifts that have enhanced Winterthur's programming and mission:
- The Daniel and Serga Nadler Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain
- The Saul Zalesch Collection of American Ephemera and the Saul Zalesch Endowed Fund for American Ephemera
- The Arthur D. Robson Collection of American Furniture
- The Wilhelmina Laird Craven Charitable Lead Annuity
