rshacklett necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 10 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
I'm trying to build a cartoony-type map of an area in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This is for a website we are developing for a vacation rental property.
The "Draft Cartoon" posted here: http://picasaweb.google.com/a.mccor…randAlpine is what I'm ultimately trying to build. I'm revising this contest to make it more manageable (I hope!). :)
So, what I'd like to do first is get a sample of map components and stick figures (one or two of each). Based on that sample, I will select the winning designer and we will work on developing the cartoon.
Here's the list stick figures doing mountain activities that I eventually want to illustrate. Just pick one or two at first
to see if our styles match:
- Hiker
- Golfer
- Mountain
- Swimmer
- Sailboat
- Canoe
- Photographer
(with tripod)
- Horseback
- River
rafting (http://www.grand-county.com/Kayakin…fting.aspx)
- Hot

- Alpine
slide (http://www.skiwinterpark.com/todo/r…/index.htm)
- Horseback riding
- Fly
- Fisherman

- Moose
- Elk
- Sleigh
also need a few background-types of things that I can use with the
stick figures when I build my map. Maybe submit one or two , again for style purposes:
- Two
mountains side-by-side
- One mountain
- Horizontal mountain range (i.e. running across page)
- Vertical mountain range (i.e. running up/down page)- Hot Sulphur Springs Resort(like
but not all the detail, just tall rocks with a waterfall into a
steaming pool with a person)
Payment by Paypal or Western Union.
Fees will be deducted for Western Union.
Bonus points:
If you
can work caricatures of my dogs in as the lead dogs of the sled team, you'd
score major bonus points with us. Dogs can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/a.mccormick/Dogs
Ultimately, I'd like to develop a winter and summer cartoon as described in this google doc. I can assemble the pieces of the map so that you don't have to figure out where everything goes, though. :)

Gold Capped: My Thoughts on the WoW Economy
Well, the goal has been met. I reached the gold cap a few weeks ago. In the end, reaching my goal was both easier then I thought it would be and harder then I thought it would be. In this post I hope to explain that dichotomy, share a few of my thoughts on how to improve the WoW economy, and maybe give a tip or two on how to make gold.
Easier then I Thought:
Reaching the gold cap was easier then I thought it would be because there is no real trick to it. There are no hidden secrets. I don't know what I expected, but earning 215k gold when you are at about 20k feels like a big task. The bloggers who write about gold making give you all these little tips, but many of them didn't seem to work for me in the way I expected them to. I always felt like there was some trick or secret that I was missing.
As far as I can tell I wasn't missing anything. I didn't find any secret product that I could sell and make 20k gold a week or a magic farming spot (I didn't farm at all in fact). My process of making gold is all about crafting and selling. Buying the mats cheaper then the finished good will sell for and then posting it on the AH. And I wasn't crafting odd things. Most of my gold came from Inscriptions, but I also made quite a bit from selling the obvious things like spellthread, meta gems, and bags. I just looked for markets where the mats cost less then the AH prices, and participated even when there was a lot of competition. So, making gold was a lot easier then I thought because I already had most the tools I needed just by having my professions leveled up.
Harder then I Though:
If you ever have read a gold blog, then you know that some of the claims sound outlandish. They make it sound like once you find the right system the money truck backs up to your house and dumps a bunch of gold in. Gevlon at the Greedy Goblin made it sound particularly easy when he claimed he was making around 15k a week with just 30minutes to an hour a day of work. That may not sound like much but it is more then you may think. If you spend an hour a day on the AH that is 7 hours a week. That is almost as much as I raid each week.
In the end, working the AH is a lot of time consuming work. You are able to automate a lot of things with the right addons, but there are some things you can't automate like crafting and milling. Therefore I spend hours each week in front of my computer hitting a single button. It isn't a lot of fun for me and I know understand why you find very few people to play the AH for extended periods of time. Even Gavlon has taken breaks after reaching the cap.
How to Improve the WoW Economy:
Just so you know, I work in the financial industry. I have a degree in Economics and a MBA. So, I have some experience with economic theory. That is why I find some of the common gripes amount the WoW economy so funny. Everyone seems to think that the goblins out there are ruining the market in one way or another. One guy will complain about getting under cut. The next guy will complain that people shouldn't be able to post a glyph for 50g when it cost 3g to make. They all eventually say that these people need to play fair or be punished and they want Blizzard to put more controls on the market. The funny thing is they are 100% wrong.
The problem with the WoW economy isn't the lack of control that allows people to do pretty much what ever they want. The problem with the WoW economy is the artificial roadblocks that make goblinish activity more difficult and ultimately cause people to quite after artificial goals are completed. This reduces the competition in the market, creates more imperfections, and ultimately increases the prices for consumers. Here are my suggestions.
Allow for more batch processing: When you mill herbs you currently have to hit a button for every herb you mill. The same is true for prospecting. It's not unusual for me to mill 3000 herbs in a sitting. In a perfect world it would take you 10 minutes to mill 3000 herbs, when you add lag and such into the equation you will take at least 15-20 minutes.
Crafting is even worse. When I make my glyphs I usually have to make 50 different glyphs in varying amounts for a total of about 800 glyphs in a sitting. Since most glyphs take 1.5 seconds to create that is a minimum of 20 minutes spent crafting, but longer when you consider lag and such. As you can probably imagine the process is quite boring and I think is the primary cause for most goblin burn-out.
Blizzard needs to create an interface to mill and prospect much like they have for smelting ore currently. That way I can tell it to mill and walk away and use that time to do other things around the house or on the computer. They also need to upgrade the crafting interface. There are several mods that already allow you to queue multiple crafting jobs, but they all require you to push a button to go on to the next step. Removing that button click would again allow the goblin to walk away during one of the more tedious portions of the crafting process.
Allow for Batch Mail Retrieval: This may be easier said then done, but the next big time sink in a crafters process is picking up the mail. I list 1200 - 1600 glyphs a day across 3 alts. Since you can open only 50 mails every minute it takes at least 25 minutes to go through all of my mail generally. I recently found the addon Mail Opener that allows me to go AFK through that process, but I think it can be done better.
The Auctioneer addon currently allows you to download the entire auction house in just a few minutes. Why couldn't we have the same thing for mail. The only issue I see from a player point of view is what would happen if your bags were full, but I think we can find a work around. Gold requires no bag space and therefore could always be pulled in a lump sum. The cancelled and expired auctions could also be consolidated into fewer mails to make them easier to view and empty.
Allow for more stacking: I made some of my gold with Jewelcrafting, but avoided it for he most part. Since cut gems can't stack it is very difficult to mass produce gems and achieve the economies of scale that you can in the glyph market. This is one of the things that I think seriously holds back JCing as a profession.
Reduce some deposit costs: Another key thing holding back Jewelcrafting as a profession is the fact that it costs several gold just to list a gem on the AH, but Glyphs and Enchants have little or no cost to post.
Why I think these Changes are Necessary:
Don't get me wrong, I understand that these suggestions would hurt a lot of the producers currently in the market. This would likely push all prices down to the materials cost of those professions. However, it would be good for consumers, because it would be easier for people to enter and stay in the market. This would increase competition and push prices down.
The key to the WoW economy's problems and the solutions is the fact that it is a fictional economy. No one's kids are going to starve because daddy didn't sell some glyphs last night. Participating in the market is purely optional and has few real world consequences. The fact of the matter is that the problems with a perfectly free market in the real world don't apply to the virtual world. If someone trys to monopolize the bag market, all you have to do is go farm a few mats, list the goods cheaper and their monopoly is broken. Since it is impossible for any player to control the market for any length of time then there is no reason to not allow perfect competition.
Tips for Making gold:
Use Addons: The key to making a lot of gold on the AH is selling in volume. To sell in volume you have to do a lot of things, and addons are required to automate those things. Without this automation you would spend all of your playing time on the AH and not out killing stuff.
The gold related addons I use are: Auctioneer, QA2, Skillet, KTQ, Lil Sparky, Postal, Mail Opener, and Altoholic.
Sell Armor Vellum and Runescrolls: It's funny whenever anyone talks about Inscription as a money making profession they always talk about selling glyphs. I rarely if ever hear anyone talking about vellums or scrolls, but I swear I've made 50% of my gold off of these two products alone. The key here is that they are in high demand, but not an obvious market. You don't need vellums to make enchants, and you don't need runescrolls to raid.
I think the primary purchasers of Armor vellum is the guy that needs to send an enchant to an alt. Therefore thy are not going to bat an eye at spending 4g to pick up a vellum.
Watch Trade Chat: I know that this can be a horrible experience, but trade chat is the best place to find deals. For some reason some people don't like to post things on the AH and will sell their goods for much less then they are worth in trade chat. I've bought Herbs for a third of their market price. You may also be able to pick up some BoE epics cheaply and flip them. Also, always bargain with trade chat sellers. Never offer to pay their price from the start. Most of them can be talked down.
Recruitment: My guild has had a bad run of some real life issues and burn out, and we are recruiting once again. If you are interested in a serious progression guild that only raids 3 nights a week you may want to consider Lords of Eternity. You can find more information here.

Your post is a very good insight into gold-making in WoW. There is no big secret, just lots of hard work. I myself tried to hit the gold-cap once, but once i hit 70k I stopped because I was too bored.
Gevlon at the Greedy Goblin made it sound particularly easy when he claimed he was making around 15k a week with just 30minutes to an hour a day of work
I would also like to add to this. Gevlon's 30 mins to 1 hr a week does not include afk time. This afk time includes collecting mail and AH posting.
So, for a prospective AH Goblin reading this, be prepared to factor this in your calculations.

Just another Tips. Use an auto-click software (10lines of C# max). It's not against Blizzard's terms. And coupled with a miling macro and Q2A queue list. You can AFK during the miling and crafting part of the job.
- April 20, 2010 at 2:39 AM
Excellent insight into the system. For the sake of feedback, I'll just say that you may want to correct some typos here and there :)

I'm fine with most of the functions you listed remaining in mods. Batch mail makes sense, but the profession UI changes would make the default UI even more complex than it already is.
Lil Sparky's workshop is pretty helpful if you want to queue up several items to craft. Some pretty simple macros help make milling and prospecting easier. Reloading your UI drastically reduces your time waiting at the mailbox (unless your computer is slow). You can even edit postal to open mail more quickly than its default 0.5 second/mail.

I know I am not an expert on law or the ELUA, I have an extremely hard time believing that any form of auto-click software is not agains the ELUA. That is entirely what the Glider case was about wasn't it?
I know and use all the tricks you've mentioned. That does not change my arguement at all. I have a macro that allows me to mill all my herbs using a single button, but I still have to click the button for every mill a want to do.
Using a combination of Skillit, KTQ, and Altoholic, I am able to queue all the glyphs I want to craft in less then 10 seconds, but I still have to click a button for each type of glyph I want to craft.
If you are a major producer of glyphs then you know that both of these tasks can take a ton of time and you are requird to sit there and hit the buttons. All I'm asking for is a way to hit one putton and run through the entire Queue.
You say it will make the default crafting UI more complex, and I agree. However, it would be no more complex the the UIs created by Skillet or ATSW that are in high use today. If they wanted to they could also create a toggle in the interface options to include an advanced Professions UI that most players wouldn't want to see. I don't think that is to much to ask or over burdensome.

Grats on the gold cap!
I'm a sucker for loaning gold to friends even though I know I'll never see it again. That's probably my biggest expenditure. Or buying crap for my tight-smurf friends.
The toggle idea sounds fantastic. They need more toggle menus in the game. Especially for the raid window and the map (i'd love to see mapnotes and tracking placed on the map by default/toggle)
- April 20, 2010 at 1:59 PM
I moded QA2 to write another Array of my current glyphs. The second step is a Excel VBA-Script to read and modify the lua file from QA2 in the wtf directory. That way i can track all sells and also calculate what i need to recraft.
As i only mill / craft when i watch TV i dont bother hitting 1 button over and over again.

Great tips. Being a enchanter/tailor, I dont have many things to put on the AH. I used to buy frostweave, and DE the greens I made. Before the DE option, which pushed stacks of dust from 200g a stack, to 30g.
- April 20, 2010 at 7:59 PM
I would say i'm not an expert neither. But glider seems far more complex. What I do is just telling windows to simulate a click. It does not interact with WoW or whatever. I just let the mouse over the area of the screen I want (my milling macro button or Q2A queuelist) and go away. It may have been discuss somewhere, i will be interested to know but i really can't go back to clicking myself when i'm crafting 600glyphs :)
- April 21, 2010 at 2:15 AM
I love this post. I have the AP tests for micro and macro in three weeks, and I find it hilarious, yet insightful, on how well real-world econ works with WoW. Economies of Scale, Perfect Competition, I love it.
An interesting idea I have came about from your post that since there is no need to be in the market, and pricing power is not attainable in the LR, WoW might as well be perfect competition. What if there could be Guild Shops. I imagine these as a separate tab within the AH. Since the ability to have pricing power is created by barriers to entry, WoW could establish some. ie.
-New, high level crafts (450+), only available to those in Guild Shops
-Licensing (300g single time cost to sell as manyl gems as you want) This would also create economies of scale
This may be a little "I have been studying too much econ, get it out of my head", but right now I think it could be an interesting idea.

I bought some of Graylo's Glyphs. They were absolute trash; barely worked half the time, and two of them broke on me within a day. I asked to get my monies back for these defective products, but Mr. Lo only laughed at me. Don't buy from this man!

I used a variety of professions when pushing towards gold cap. Here was my experience with each:
Inscription -- A majority of my gold came from this. I would make about 4 of every glyph that could be sold for 10g or more and post them. The competition got incredibly stiff on my server when one enterprising soul pushed the prices down to 4-8g per for about 4 months. I stopped making glyphs entirely during this time. Vellums and Runescrolls continued to sell at this time. Also, Rituals of the New Moon isn't bad, esp. if you advertise once in a while on /2.
Jewelcrafting -- When the inscription market dried up, this became my new priority. I'd pick out new cuts by using a site like WowPopular (http://www.wowpopular.com/Epic/gems) and buy up lots and lots of raw gems (since they stack). When the price of cut gems went high enough that I could turn a profit, or when a gem went out of stock on the AH, I'd cut a few and post them. JC market was very competitive, so I usually posted with a Short duration so I could cancel and repost. The rings and necklaces don't do so hot anymore now that much higher ilvl stuff is in dungeons. Don't forget metas! And, if you've been a JC since start of WotLK, your rare ("blue quality") cuts are probably still worth a pretty penny.
Enchanting -- I made a lot of money with this before the price of enchanting mats dipped with the advent of Dungeon Finder. Since I also had Inscription on a character I had cheap access to vellums. I'd craft anything that was profitable, but I'd only stock one or two of the oddball enchants that don't go used often. Don't forget about BC enchants: Mongoose and Cat's Swiftness are still good sellers.
Tailoring -- I was surprised at how quickly I was able to sell the pants enchants. They're a great item because you can stack them to 20 in your inventory and just let QA post whenever you're at an AH. On smaller servers, buy Iceweb Spider Silk whenever you see it for sale. Netherweave bags may sell well on your server, too.
Leatherworking -- Pants stack work the same way as Tailoring, and now that Arctic Fur is widely available, you should be able to have a bunch of these for sale.
Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Engineering -- On my server, I didn't have a lot of luck with these. Selling smithed rods, titanium plating, shield spikes, etc was a fairly narrow market. Belt Buckles, Flasks, Potions, and Ammo were too crowded of a space for my tastes. YMMV :)
- April 23, 2010 at 2:59 PM
- GamingLifer said...
I found the glyph market just too damn labor intensive. With JC, I had about 15 cuts that I made, as opposed to the hundreds of glyphs to manage. And I didn't feel like configuring a ton of addons.
The frozen orb market killed a ton of professions. Alchemy? Went from a 10g profit per frost lotus to about two. Chalcedony were selling upwards of 15g each before people stopped making icy prisms.
- April 26, 2010 at 10:28 AM
You say you earn most of the money from inscription. You won'y on my server. All glyphs are selling at $2-3G here in AH, no exception!

Alvah, Walter, and George Howes, brothers of Ashfield, Massachusetts, worked together on the road beginning in 1896. Each summer until 1902, they photographed farmers and country people across New England in as natural settings as possible. They then sold the photographs they took to their subjects. Here, an unnamed family stands before their typically New England house one day in mid-summer. The men and boys are just in from haying, as they hold their hay forks and pitchforks. The homestead's five females and one baby stand in the center of the photograph; unlike the men, they seem to have changed into better than ordinary clothes. A cow has been brought up from the pasture. It, the two heavily loaded hay wagons, and the horse standing harnessed in the gig to the right, all suggest this portrait was carefully posed to project hard work and prosperity. This photograph came from the Howes Brothers Collection.

The CMED Routledge book series is designed to present a variety of perspectives on a specific topic, such as democracy in the Middle East, dynamics of Israeli-Palestinian relations, Gulf security, and the gender factor in the Middle East. The uniqueness of the series is that the authors write from the viewpoint of a variety of countries so that no matter what the issue, articles appear from many different states, both within and beyond the region. No existing series provides a comparable, multinational collection of authors. Most volumes contain a distinct and eclectic variety; some concentrate on a particular topic intensely with less multinational diversity. The series in total presents a combination of writers from countries who, for political reasons, do not always publish in the same volume or collection. The series also features a number of sub-themes under a single heading, covering security, social, political, and economic factors affecting the Middle East.View current titles in the series »

Domain Parking for Charity with Rikimu
Those actively buying and selling domain names (for profit, of course) have a new option for parking those assets - Rikimu.
Domain parking has really fallen out of vogue as Google openly admitted to penalizing parked sites almost two years ago. While that will dissuade many from parking domain name assets that aren't in active use, those with hundreds or thousands of domains still need a solution - and it's still to parking services to which they turn. On the whole however, there's been little in the way of true innovation in this sector. With new gTLD's arriving this year, the problem only stands to get worse.
There's no shortage of domain parking services available today. Registrars typically provide the functionality but there are a whole host of other dedicated parkin services including Skenzo, Bodis, and Sedo to name just a few, but none that I have come across that are antyhing like Rikimu. Where this new domain parking platform differentiates itself is in it's charitable nature. At Rikimu, 5 percent of every click is donated to charity.
That actually needs a little clarification. The five percent actually comes out of Rikimu's revenue share on clicks that occurs on a parked domain. For example, if Rikimu's revenue share from the advertisers is 1% of every click, then 5% of that 1% goes to the charity the domainer (the group or individual parking the domain) selected. Pretty cool, but it get's even better. Rikimu also works with some of the biggest advertising providers there are on a variety of revenue models, including CPC, CPA, and CPM.

Spanish WeatherPosted in Featured on July 26th, 2012 by Caryn B. Davis
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains. Well that is simply no so. When traveling through Spain is good to understand Spanish weather so you can be assured of a good trip. Nobody likes traveling in rain,s now sleet or hail. That is why I always reply on this site to help me figured out the weather all across the country. That way I can decide if i want to venture or not venture into a particular region.
This site also tells me about the country I am in, giving me great tips for places to go and see, who some important Spaniards are, how football is a favorite pastime, historical information, what foods to eat and other interesting facts one may not find in guidebooks.

Find post offices and USPS mailing boxes. Post offices provide information on bulk mail services, domestic mail delivery, international shipping, change of address, mail forwarding, PO boxes, and passport services.
The Post Office refers to one of the approximately 30,000 customer service postal facilities of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The USPS is an independent agency of the federal government that provides mail and package delivery services to all states and territories. It is supported entirely by revenues generated by its own operations. Operational authority over the USPS lies with a Board of Governors and rate setting authority falls under the Postal Rate Commission.
The USPS uses a vast network of Post Offices, Processing and Distribution Centers, Priority Mail Processing Centers, Air Mail Centers, and Bulk Mail Centers to sort, process, distribute, and deliver mail. The Post Office serves as one of the primary points of customer contact in the mail delivery process.
A Post Office accepts mail and packages from senders, offering a range of mailing and pricing options. The most common form of mail delivery, and one for which the USPS has a legal monopoly, is residential first-class mail. First-class mail is designed for envelopes and lightweight packages, and it provides delivery to any location in the U.S. at a flat rate of one first-class mail stamp. Multiple other mailing options are available for letters and packages of any size. Priority mail options provide faster delivery at a higher cost than first-class mail. Post Offices sell stamps, shipping supplies, and certain collectors' and gift items. Customers can also choose Registered, Certified, and Return Receipt mail for varying degrees of verification of an item's delivery. Post Offices can also sell money orders, and most are equipped to take passport photos and accept passport applications. International shipping and customs forms are also available at Post Offices.
Businesses and residential customers can also use the Post Office to receive their mail instead of choosing delivery to their door. Post Office Boxes are available for rent in multiple sizes for a monthly rental fee.
The USPS also offers online services to expedite much of the business transacted at the Post Office. Customers can print shipping labels in advance, purchase stamps, schedule pickups, and track packages using USPS online accounts. These services enhance efficiency and reduce wait times at Post Offices.

Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - Milos and Ivo - FULL CONTACT
Milos and Ivo - FULL CONTACT
Milos Zambo and Ivo Kerk came in for a duo together. They are in the fitness room helping each other with some stretching exercises. Then Ivo takes a rope, which is being held by Milos and starts to stretch his arm muscles over head. Milos then does the same before he is lifted up to take hold of bar for some pull-ups. When he is done Ivo takes his place and does the same. As he does the pull-ups his shorts are pulled down by Milos, revealing a nice hard cock. Both guys then lose their shorts and their hard cocks are on full display. They continue taking turns at doing pull-ups with their cocks rubbing against the other's chest as they do them. Ivo then takes some oil and drips it on those hard cocks and Milos rubs it in, taking both cocks in his hand, as Ivo oils his chest. Ivo stands behind Milos, oiling him as Milos turns his head and kisses him. Then it is time to oil Ivo, and Milos does this, kissing him at the same time, as both their cocks are wanked some. Then Ivo goes down and begins to suck on Milos big dick. He sucks on that cock and licks the balls. Milos is loving that sucking and then turns around, presenting his ass to Ivo who begins to play with it, fingering the hole and wanking that hard cock. Then, holding one of Milos legs in the air, Ivo slides his throbbing cock deep into that hot hole and fucks it nice and deep. Milos moans as he takes that cock and then, changing positions, he sits his ass down on Ivo's dick and rides it. He really works his ass over that cock before moving again. On the floor with his ass high in the air Milos takes that dick deep in his ass for more fucking. Milos works his cock in and out of that sexy ass as Milos wanks himself. Soon his shoots a massive load of creamy cum as Ivo fucks him nice and deep. Ivo is ready too and pulls out to dump his load all over Milos to bring a lovely scene to an end.

Another wonderful summer's day in Prague. Aida just returned from a four day vacation at Granny's Farm. I used the weekend to go several times and feed the swans on the Vltava. Swans hate dogs and the feeling is mutual. I could ask someone to hold Aida while I went down to feed the swans, but that would be just like sticking a knife in her heart. Anyhow, the swans got to know me pretty well. I'd buy 10Kcs worth of dinner rolls each time. The trick is to tear off a big enough piece so the swans only grab the roll and not part of your fingers. They do have sharp bills. I made a film with my new GoPro camera which I'll post on YouTube soon. Yesterday evening, I felt a strong tug on the back of my photographer's vest. I immediately thought, OMG, my pocket is being picked. I looked around. It was true. A swan was pulling on my vest to try and shake an extra roll out. Later, the same swan stuck its bill into my pocket full of dog cookies. Greedy swans. I hope it's an interesting film.
Meanwhile to work:
We have a great line-up today, starting with Milos Zambo with Ivo Kerk. That is followed by a lovely soft duo featuring Alan Lumik and Adam Rupert. Then Jan Faust in a wonderful erotic video. We finish off with a great stills shoot of Roman Koroza.
We also have a nice castings line-up with Jenda Cerny, Ivan Holic, Petr Hrdina and Jirka Filip. They all look very good, but my final pick goes to Jirka Filip.

Eye boogers??

Eye boogers??
My pup will be 8 weeks on Friday but he seems to have a lot of eye boogers. I talked to a lady at a pet shop today and she said to change his food and make sure there is no Corn, or Grains. Is this right and will it work? What else can I do for him? I bought some tear wipes at Walmart and that seemed to take the crusty boogers stuck on his hairs, but I'm looking for something to maybe put in his eye.
Re: Eye boogers??
You do not need to put anything in his eyes. He's only eight weeks old. Just gently wipe them with a soft warm wash rag. As far as feeding it is best to keep corn and grain out of his diet for multiple reasons including allergy .

Re: Eye boogers??
Chestnut got eye boogers with Orijen 6 fish so it can definitely be food related. With generic dog food laden with grains not only did she get eye boogers she also itched like crazy.

A few weeks ago, I finally got around to building a new raised bed for the vegetable garden in our front yard. I knew the job would be hard work, but I was excited by the opportunity to use of one of the new power tools that I bought a few months back.
Normally, when one thinks of power tools, one thinks of guys. And beer. But, no, in this case you should be thinking of Lou, not Vic. And wine, not beer. And unlike some guys, I don't drink until the project is completed and the power tools are shut off.
It all started when I had to remove my raised beds from the Huntington Beach Community Garden. Not familiar with modern gardening methods, the people at Edison outlawed raised beds at the community garden. Edison is the landowner, and no matter how silly their rules seem, we have to obey them.
To disassemble the redwood beds, I bought a nice set of cordless power tools with a drill, circulating saw, reciprocal saw, and shop light. The kit also came with two battery packs, a charger and a nifty carrying bag. Utterly inspired, I also bought a book of garden projects that one could build.
Unfortunately, I mentioned my lack of construction skills to the checkout clerk. She eyed the box of sharp power tools and asked if she was going to be reading about me in the newspaper.
I thought to myself that I certainly hoped so, but not in the way she intended. The specter of missing fingers loomed large in my mind, and my bag of beautiful new tools sat unused in the garage.
The nice folks on the garden committee dismantled my beds for me, and even delivered the lumber to our house. Good thing, because the boards were too long to fit into my Highlander.
My plan is to use the boards at a new community garden that I hope will someday be built at Irby Park. But the garden committee doesn't seem interested in building a second garden quite yet.
So I looked once again at my yard to see if there is any additional space that could grow food. My eye landed on a patch of ground in my front yard that I call the Garden of Infinite Neglect.
The first year that I grew vegetables in that area, it was quite productive, but it has languished from neglect ever since. I took another look at it and decided that it needed a raised bed. Having disassembled the raised bed from the community garden, I had all the lumber I needed.
I had watched Vic build the raised beds at my community garden plot (using a borrowed cordless drill), and it didn't look all that hard. I can use a regular drill, but for some reason I was intimidated by my new cordless one. Maybe it was that clerk's comment about reading about me in the paper.
One afternoon when Vic was busy with final exams, I screwed up my courage, carried the boards to the front, and got out my new drill. I still had the metal brackets and screws from the former raised beds.
I wondered how to hold the boards together while putting the screws through the brackets. I have watched my corps members at the Orange County Conservation Corps build things. They just brace the boards with their boots. I did the same thing, and it worked.
My new raised bed isn't to NASA specifications, but the edges are pretty close to plumb and the bed is level. I'm pretty darn pleased with it.
I was on a roll with this power tool thing, so I installed some screws along the edges of the boards at one-foot intervals and tied string around the screws to make a foot-square grid across the surface of the dirt in the bed.
The purpose of this is two-fold. First, the string grid serves as a guide for square-foot gardening. Second, I hoped that it would serve as a deterrent to neighborhood cats that might want to use the bed as a litter box. So far, it has worked. The cats prefer an area just outside the beds for their business.
You might ask why I call this area the Garden of Infinite Neglect. Well, in all honesty, it's because I neglect it compared with other parts of my garden. As I was doing all this work to rejuvenate that area, I had an insight as to why I pay it so little attention.
I neglect it because it is a nuisance to water. The hose was too short to reach. Well, duh, that's easily solved. I bought a longer hose. Problem solved.
I planted the bed with beets, bok choy, butternut squash, carrots, chard, cucumbers, kale, lettuce, radishes, and yellow summer squash. I installed two cucumber trellises that I had bought for the community garden, but couldn't use there because they were metal.
We can't have anything metal at the community garden. Unfortunately, I didn't find that out until I had bought $400 worth of metal trellises of various kinds. Fortunately, I was able to put them all to use in my home garden. The cucumber trellises are slanted so that the cucumbers will hang beneath for easy harvest.
The nice thing about having a vegetable garden right by the front sidewalk is that people see it. And they see me. I talk more to my neighbors, and they get to see vegetables growing. It has inspired my next-door neighbor's children so much that they asked their father for a vegetable garden too.
He assigned them some space in their backyard, and they will be planting their first vegetables this summer. Who knew that growing vegetables was contagious?

Once potent combination therapy for HIV (commonly called ART or HAART) is initiated, several clinical trials have found that bone mineral density tends to decrease, usually between 2% and 6%, and then stabilize. The reasons for this initial decrease are not clear.
Some studies suggest that exposure to the anti-HIV drug tenofovir (Viread and in Truvada, Atripla, Complera and Stribild) may be linked to decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in some people. However, it is important to bear in mind that most HIV-positive people who use tenofovir in prospective clinical trials have not developed decreased BMD and subsequent fractures.
Researchers in several countries conducted a pilot study called Progress to compare the effect of the following two regimens:
When it was first introduced in 1996, the drug ritonavir (sold as Norvir) was meant to be used at very high doses as part of ART. However, at such high doses ritonavir has many side effects. Today when ritonavir (Norvir) is used, it is generally taken in relatively small doses to help boost the level of another drug, usually an HIV protease inhibitor. When used in this way ritonavir does not have anti-HIV activity, as it is merely a boosting agent. The other drug that is boosted has powerful anti-HIV activity.
In all cases in this study, Kaletra was taken twice daily, as was raltegravir. Truvada was taken once daily.
Researchers recruited 209 volunteers who had not been previously exposed to treatment and monitored them for up to two years.
On average, participants were about 40 years old and mostly male (85% men, 15% women).
Similar proportions of participants (71%) taking each regimen achieved a viral load less than 40 copies/ml at week 96, according to an assessment called the Food and Drug Administration's "snapshot" analysis.
Participants who experienced virologic failure were distributed as follows:
Participants had their CD4+ counts increase by 300 cells/ml by the end of the study.
In general, side effects reported by patients were similar with each regimen. According to researchers, the most common side effect of "at least moderate severity was diarrhea," distributed as follows:
They also stated that the following proportions of participants left the study prematurely due to side effects:
Overall, two participants taking each regimen (for a total of four participants) left prematurely because of diarrhea. Thus, about 2% of participants taking each regimen left prematurely because of diarrhea.
The proportions of participants taking each regimen who took anti-diarrhea medicines were distributed as follows:
Elevated levels of lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood are common when protease inhibitors are used. Rates of severely elevated levels of total cholesterol were distributed as follows:
Rates of severely elevated triglycerides were distributed as follows:
Among participants for whom bone mineral density scans were available, researchers noted that bone thickness was generally similar at the start of the study. However, at the 96-week mark, on average, BMD had changed as follows:
This difference was statistically significant; that is, not likely due to chance alone.
There were four fractures during the study that were distributed as follows:
The study was not designed to assess the statistical importance of fractures so we cannot draw firm conclusions about their distribution and if that has any link to the regimens used in this pilot study. It is possible that the distribution of fractures may simply have been due to chance.
Researchers also assessed what they termed "clinically significant loss of bone mineral density." These were cases where participants lost BMD of 5% or more by the 96th week of the study. Overall, 12% (19 of 160 participants) had a large decrease in BMD during the study, distributed as follows:
Factors that were statistically linked to having decreased BMD included the following:
Although bone may feel stiff and hard, it is not dead. Bone tissue is dynamic -- in adults small portions of bone are always being torn down and replaced. Researchers refer to this tearing down and building up of bone as "bone turnover." There are proteins in the blood and urine that are associated with bone turnover and can be assessed in research studies. In Progress, researchers assessed the following markers of bone turnover at several points throughout the study:
Bone turnover markers were, on average, elevated in all participants, reaching their highest level at week 48 of the study.
Early changes in some bone turnover markers were connected to a significant loss of BMD (at least 5%) at week 96, specifically these changes at week 4:
Changes at week 4 in the following markers appeared to be protective from significant loss of bone density:
These findings in bone markers seem novel and deserve further study in clinical trials with other medicines.
The Progress study and its sub-analyses provide important signals about changes that bones undergo once ART is initiated. Such changes should be studied with other commonly used regimens. Findings from Progress suggest that replacing Truvada with raltegravir may lead to very modest increases in BMD rather than significant loss of bone.
Bear in mind the following points:
Overall, the findings from Progress and the Australian study are intriguing but require further larger randomized studies for confirmation.
Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer of tenofovir, is testing a new form of tenofovir called TAF. Interim results from clinical trials have led Gilead Sciences to suggest that TAF may be safer for the bones and kidneys than tenofovir.

Assessment Center
We offer a very exciting program for IU Northwest students. We help students identify their developmental needs with respect to certain life skills that are helpful to students as they progress through college and enter the workforce.
- We place students into work related simulations that allow them to see what it is like to be in the workplace.
- Their performance is then evaluated by business professionals from the community.
- One of the key concepts of this program is that students learn what skills they should develop more fully from the employers who they will one day be handing their resumes to!
Students participating in the Assessment Center can use that feedback to choose courses and extracurricular activities that develop those skills. These students will leave IUN better prepared for the workplace!
Please explore our website to learn more about this exciting program!
Student Comments
"I thought this was one of the best experiences I've had at IU Northwest!"
"I feel it was very helpful and educational in a workplace setting. There were a lot of things I can take to work with me."
"I have been working in an office for more than 17 years, the exercises are realistic."
"I appreciate this assessment. It gave me a look at some of the things that really come up in the work place. Also, I got a feel for the different types of co-workers I will have."
"This was a hard experience for me, but also it was a good one. It gave me an idea of what is expected in the work environment."
"This is a great program. I stand behind it 100%."
"It puts you in real world settings."
"I loved the whole experience!"
"This was kind of nerve racking and fun at the same time. I like not knowing what is going to take place next. It allows you to be more yourself and shows how well you will work under pressure. I am interested in what the results will provide to us."
"We went into something and really did not know what was going to happen next but we had to react."
"This assessment is a good tool for anyone. It gives you a sneak peak at how the business world is conducted."
Rater Comments
"This will give [students] a better perspective on consequences of their actions and how the public receives the actions."
"[Students] need to understand that the rest of the organization depends on each person to analyze and make quick, insightful decisions."
"This helps tremendously in communication, thinking on your feet, and attitude."

Attorney General Lockyer Issues Statement On Supreme Court Argument In Challenge to Bush Refusal to Regulate Global Warming Pollution
(SACRAMENTO) - Attorney General Bill Lockyer today issued the following statement regarding oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court in the multi-state challenge of the Bush Administration's decision to not regulate vehicular greenhouse gas emissions that pollute the air and contribute to global warming:
"At a time when the vast majority of the world's climate scientists warn that we must act now to stop the devastating effects of global warming, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) continued stance that it cannot and will not regulate greenhouse gas emissions is a tremendous threat to our health, environment and economy.
"Global warming is already causing significant harm to California -- to its environment, economy, agriculture and public health. We are seeing the harmful impacts to our rich agricultural lands, the Sierra snow pack and the safety of coastal communities. These impacts are costing millions of dollars and the price tag is increasing.
"The Clean Air Act is clear. It authorizes the EPA to regulate air pollutants that endanger public health and welfare. Yet, this very agency charged with safeguarding the health of our environment tells us air emissions contributing to the most looming threat to the welfare of the planet do not count as pollution.
"The United States is the largest polluter on the planet and leadership from our federal government is essential to curb global warming. But, California will not stand by if the Bush Administration continues to stall. As a coastal state, an agricultural state, and a state that relies on its Sierra snow pack, California has an enormous stake in acting now."
Attorney General Lockyer is joined by 11 other Attorneys General, two cities and major environmental groups in the lawsuit, which was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. on October 23, 2003. Numerous parties have filed supporting amicus briefs, including six additional states, former EPA Administrators, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and prominent climate scientists.

Isaya and Restituta Mlewa at their Tanzanian organic farm.
Bill Gates' 2012 annual letter "is an argument for making the choice to keep on helping extremely poor people build self-sufficiency."
In an interview with the U.K.'s MSN news, Gates explains that his hope for the letter is that it "helps people connect to the choice we all have to make. Relatively small investments changed the future for hundreds of millions of small farm families. The choice now is this: Do we continue those investments so that the 1 billion people who remain poor benefit? Or do we tolerate a world in which one in seven people is undernourished, stunted and in danger of starving to death?
"In times of tight budgets, we have to pick our priorities," Gates continues. "It's clear that in this particular time, we're in danger of deciding that aid to the poorest is not one of them. I am confident, however, that if people understand what their aid has already accomplishedand its potential to accomplish so much morethey'll insist on doing more, not less. That is why I wrote my letter."
At Heifer, our supporters, donors, staff members and participants around the world say Amen! and pass the tomatoes to spreading the gospel on how small investments (in our case heifers, goats, bees or tree seedlings), can stop hunger in the short-term and create sustainable income in the long-term. Every day we see investments in small farm families empower them beyond subsistence to create a chain of self-sufficiency that lifts up entire communities.
Heifer works with the Gates Foundation on the East Africa Dairy Development project that not only connects dairy farmers to markets, but links public and private interests including banks and investors, to create a growing local economy based on agriculture.
In his letter, Gates emphasizes not only innovations in agricultural production, but also in creative partnerships to better feed the world. "I am excited because innovative partnerships that capitalize on the comparative advantages of all these players can accelerate progress, speeding the transition beyond aid for many poor countries."
Heifer shares similar goals with the Gates Foundation, including a focus on investing in women, preserving land for future generations and developing innovations in the field that engage the people we are trying to help in making the best decisions for their land, culture, sustainability and environment.
Isaya and Restituta Mlewa, shown above, and featured in this World Ark magazine article, are proof that participants have innovations of their own to add. From the gift of one dairy cow and Heifer training in dairy and organic farming, the couple came up with their own systems using animal and plant waste that are now an example for the thousands of farmers they have trained across Africa.
In Nepal, the Heifer project community of Shaktikhor, through a Farmer Field School, did their own research into feed varieties and care that improved the health and increased the weight of goats throughout the community. Their innovations were shared and picked up by other Heifer project communities in Nepal.
At a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland today, Gates said "innovations in crop science, access to information for farmers and new models of cooperation between governments and private enterprises are some of the developments that can improve global food security," he said. "I believe the opportunity to double or even triple (food) productivity is there."
Join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Heifer International in promoting the value of investments in agriculture around the world to end hunger and poverty.

Bill Veeck
Before baseball was a multi-billion dollar industry, and before national television deals and internet gamecasts provided hundreds of millions of dollars to baseball's owners, the lifeblood of a baseball franchise was the revenue generated by fans showing up at the park. No one did a better job of getting fans to the ballpark than Bill Veeck.
Veeck owned three different Major League Baseball franchises from the 1940's through his death in 1984, and the one common thread of all of these organizations was that their promotions were outrageous. Veeck was the person who arranged for 3 foot, seven inch Eddie Gaedel to appear as a pinch hitter for his St. Louis Browns. Other gimmicks Veeck used to attract fans included Grandstand Manager's Day – where he allowed fans to plot strategy with the team's manager through the use of cards distributed to a specific section, and the significantly less successful Disco Demolition Night – in which he invited fans to burn their disco records on the field… which led to a riot that caused his team to forfeit the game.
But not all of Veeck ideas were passing gimmicks (or dangerous flops). He integrated the American League, by signing Larry Doby to be the AL's first black player, he introduced the concept of putting player's names on the backs of their jerseys so the fans could more easily identify them and he introduced the "exploding scoreboard," a scoreboard with electronic effects that were unleashed when the home team hit a home run. Fireworks displays at the ballpark and fan-appreciation nights are also Veeck originals.
But regardless of how successful his ideas were in the long run, Veeck was a genius at getting fans into the stadium. In 1948, over 2.6 million fans paid to watch Veeck's Cleveland Indians, a staggering total for that time period, and better than several franchises can manage today.
Veeck's spirit continues in baseball today through his son Mike, who is part owner of several minor league franchises, including the Charleston Riverdogs. The Riverdogs have gained notoriety for putting on unique promotions like "Nobody Night," where fans were asked not to enter the park until after the 5th inning, so that the team could set a record for the lowest attendance.

UW Bothell is committed to providing students with the best possible university education through challenging programs and innovative learning experiences. This approach is grounded in the campus mission, which calls for "excellence in higher education through use of innovative and creative curricula, interdisciplinary teaching and research, and a dynamic community of multicultural learning."
UW Bothell students engage in a wide variety of innovative, high-impact educational experiences, from designing educational games to research with real-world impacts. Below is a sampling of innovative teaching and learning, in areas including course design and delivery, student/faculty research, community engagement, and collaborative spaces.
Kinect Math Project - Undergraduate students Jack Chang Keng-Wei and Jebediah Pavela developed software utilizing the Microsoft Kinect system to teach students an abstract and visual method for learning mathematics. The software, developed under the supervision of Professors Kelvin Sung, Computing and Software Systems, and Robin Angotti, Education, incorporates movement into math lessons through use of infrared laser tracking, voice recognition, and face recognition.
Kinect Math was awarded 4th place for software design in the US Imagine Cup Finals, held April 23, 2012, out of 117,000 participants, including many teams of graduate students from the best universities. The US Imagine Cup was created by Microsoft to challenge students to create unique technological solutions that address real-world challenges through software and game design.
Impacts of Wind Farms on Communities - IAS Professor Gwen Ottinger's undergraduate students engage in research related to the environmental consequences of new energy technologies by examining ethical and social justice questions. Students Shawn Friang and Eric Hopson presented their research results at the 2014 UW Bothell Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Friang conducted a case study into unequal siting of large-scale wind farms and industrial plants, while Hopson used resident interviews and public comments to examine the local citizens' ability to participate in siting decisions for utility-scale wind farms.
Innovations in Math Education – Education Professor Robin Angotti's research places leading-edge game technology inside the classroom. Angotti is currently using video games and off-the-shelf motion-sensing game consoles, including Microsoft's Kinect, to achieve better results in teaching math to K-12 students in rural areas of Washington State. With funding from an Educators for the 21st Century grant, Angotti has spent the past three summers teaching rural educators to use new technology in a high-poverty, high-needs, linguistically diverse district in Eastern Washington.
Hybrid Electrical Engineering program (B.S.) — The BSEE program is pioneering the use of a hybrid learning model for an engineering degree program. The program combines on-site and remote learning classes, using the media-rich WebEx video conferencing software for online classes and for capstone project meetings with student teams and their industry mentors.
A new laboratory has been equipped with instruments that can be remotely controlled over the Internet, which will allow students to complete lab experiments from home. Dr. Arnie Berger's BSEE 425 capstone team is also working on projects to design a scalable platform exclusively for the remote labs.
Hybrid Course Development Institute (HCDI) - The HCDI is a 10-week faculty-development institute in which a cohort of faculty learns the pedagogy and methods for teaching hybrid courses at UW Bothell. First offered in Autumn 2010, the HCDI is designed in the hybrid format to give participants a "student's experience" of a hybrid course; that is, the cohort meets three to four times during the 10 weeks and the rest of the activities are done online through the HCDI Blackboard course site. Twenty faculty from all programs/schools have participated in the first two cohorts, resulting in about 20 hybrid courses taught by HCDI faculty. Assessment is ongoing. The HCDI is a joint effort with Learning Technologies, the Teaching and Learning Center, and the Library.
"Flipped" Physics 121 Course (Fall 2012) - Dr. Erin Hill practiced "flipping the classroom" in an introductory physics course offered Autumn 2012. Students read textbook assignments, viewed assigned videos (such as those offered by Kahn Academy or other online sites), and/or played with interactive online simulations before class. Class time involved small and large group discussions about concepts and problems potentially integrated with clickers. Students had opportunities to teach each other, with the instructor facilitating the learning process. Hill partnered with researchers to conduct assessments of student learning in this model.
Hybrid Biology Course with Peer Facilitators – Professor Bryan White redesigned a large introductory Biology course, supplementing face-to-face lectures, labs and online learning tools (tutorials, videos and blog) with small group sessions led by peer facilitators (PFs). Goals for the new design included enhancing learning, while making a large class experience more intimate. PFs also collaborated on an initial assessment project, which showed learning gains when the peer facilitator model was utilized.
Partnerships for Online Courses – Several faculty are exploring utilizing on-line classes developed by other universities in the UW Bothell curriculum. The EE faculty, for example, are exploring a partnership with NYU in which UW Bothell students could take NYU's on-line courses for credit toward their UW Bothell degree.
Discovery Core - This is the required First Year curriculum, which focuses on a team-taught interdisciplinary course in the fall (that also introduces students to university life); an undergraduate research oriented course in the winter; and an E-Portfolio course in the spring that summarizes the first year and projects toward the second. The Discovery Core curriculum integrates learning across academic disciplines and engages students in making connections between the classroom and the wider world.
Game Design Course (CSS 385) - culminates with student teams designing and implementing their own computer video games.
"Immune," an educational game designed by students Evan Harris, Craig Nishina and Peter Thongprada Luangrath as a project for Professor Kelvin Sung's Gaimmune-Design course, recently placed 4th in the game design category of Microsoft's US Imagine Cup. The students, who competed as "Team Credit/No Credit," developed a game that is intended to fight the global spread of infectious diseases, by teaching young players that people are vulnerable and capable of contracting transferable diseases such as malaria and HIV/Aids.
IAS E-Portfolios - All students in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences build electronic learning and professional portfolios as part of the core curriculum. The portfolio process helps students to become self-directed and self-motivated learners during their time at UW Bothell. IAS portfolios are built though UW Google Sites.
Wikipedia as a tool to enhance learning - In 2006, IAS Professor Martha Groom was one of the first in the nation to use Wikipedia in course assignments to enhance the educational value of a term-paper assignment. Professor Groom's pilot project demonstrated several benefits: Wikipedia users provided authentic feedback and connected students with a vibrant community, the assignment challenged students to learn about technological advances and web editing, and writing for a large audience encouraged students to do their best work.
UWB Wetlands game - Responding to concerns for the ecosystem located mere steps from the classroom, in 2010 students created a Facebook game - UWB Wetlands Restoration – to raise funds and awareness. Users play a 25-day cycle which mimics 50 years of restoration work.
Supported by a partnership between the Center for Serious Play and faculty, proceeds from the game support the Wetlands Restoration project. The game teaches users the importance of maintaining biological diversity in supporting a vibrant ecosystem through the ecological concept of "succession," natural changes that occur over time.
Building a Supportive Learning Community for Veterans – IAS student and Mary Gates Research Scholar Christopher McRae's research seeks to understand how veterans adjust to academic culture. McCrae project examines how combat trauma disorders, military culture, academic culture, and university policy all interact to affect veterans, with a goal of identifying best practices for veterans in higher education. He sees his public scholarship as a way to "help veterans in the short and long term as they face the blessings and challenges of coming home."
Investigating Economic Development through Study Abroad – IAS Lecturer Leslie Ashbaugh leads an interdisciplinary Exploration Seminar to Zambia that is designed to introduce students to the socio-economic political challenges faced by Zambians who work hard to make a living in a contemporary developing nation.
The four-week long program includes living and working in urban, semi-rural and rural field sites, with a focus on assessing the success of development priorities, including promoting transparency in democratic elections, investments in quality education, disease prevention and maternal and child health, the promotion of economic diversification, and environmental sustainability.
Prior to leaving Seattle, the class surveys the concepts for understanding poverty, economic development and social change, as well as the ways in which the local donor community and the Zambia government are working to address the crosscutting nature of Zambia's challenges.
Collaboratory - A large, open learning space, the Collaboratory pairs flexible architecture with an array of embedded technologies to enhance student collaboration and innovation.
Global Classroom - The UW Bothell School of Business offers a "Global Classroom" in the summer that brings together students from universities across the world for a two-week experience learning about leading businesses in the region. This year, students will be attending from India, Italy, and China.

Proudly Serving South Columbus, OH and surrounding areas.
Door Closers in South Columbus, OH
A door closer is a mechanical device that closes a door, in general after someone opens it, or after it was automatically opened. Door closers are common in commercial doors where they play a role in maintaining average cooling temperatures. They are also important on fire doors, which need to be closed in case of fire, to help prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Surface-mounted door closers come in four variations: slide-track arm, regular arm surface mounted, parallel arm surface mounted, and top jamb mounted. Overhead door closers are typically surface mounted, some manufacturers offer concealed models too. Such closers mount inside a pocket in the door frame or are mounted in the floor directly under the pivot point and are completely concealed. Closers often feature dampers that offer control over the closing force and speed.
There is also the concealed, jamb-mounted door closer, which fits in morticed recesses in the door and door frame and is totally concealed when the door is closed. These are available in controlled and uncontrolled versions, selected according to the application for which they are intended.
An automatic door closer (more often called a "door opener") opens the door itself, typically under the control of a push button, motion detector or other device, and then closes it as well.
Our door closers offer the perfect combination of reliability, appearance, and durability. With a wide range of models and features, The Glass Guru can help with a door closer for any application. No one knows casement windows in South Columbus, OH like The Glass Guru.
