II. March/April 2011: Regency Redux
Making a house is creating. I make houses like others write poetry, make music, or paint. A house is more of a likeness than a portrait. Don't be intimidated by audacity; be audacious, but with taste. You also need intuition, originality, vigor. Avoid reproduction, that easy and banal method. Don't get taken in by fashion. A secret: love your house.

Today's thought:
Ecclesiastes 2:1-2, "I said to myself, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. "Laughter," I said, "is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?"
"What does pleasure accomplish," the wise Solomon asks. Like all God created good, pleasure can be distorted to destroy. We live in a society who has lifted pleasure to a throne and bows down. Yet, to what avail? The hedonist that seeks after pleasure, does he or she find, in the end, what it means to be truly human—meaning, purpose, relationship? In fact, pleasure taken out of the context for which God has created, strips us of our humanity and leaves us with empty hands and empty hearts.
Ravi Zacharias, the apologist and philosopher, makes four conclusions to the problem of pleasure (watch his full message on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cu-ZbnowHUI). They are instructive and cautionary.
First, he says, all pleasure is bought with a price. The difference between good pleasure and bad pleasure is indicated by when that price is paid. For good pleasure the price is paid before the pleasure. For bad, or debauched pleasure, the price is paid after. It may be hard to say "no." It may be hard not to indulge. When we choose what is right it can cause some pain. When we do what is right and we submit to God's authority we pay a price but later in the proper time and in proper context we receive a pure pleasure. When pleasure is bad, outside of God's will and ways, after the indulgence comes the price of guilt, shame and consequence.
Secondly, Solomon calls the pursuit of pleasure, "meaninglessness." G.K. Chesterton said, "Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure." Nobody is as fed up with life as those who have exhausted pleasure. The loneliest people in the world are those who have lived indulgent lives and have emotionally and physically driven themselves to impotence.
So, what we find is that the closer we get to pure pleasure the closer we get to the heart of God, while the closer we get to impure pleasure the farther we get from the heart of God. What your heart really longs for is not a pleasure that touches body only, but an intimacy that touches both body and soul. This is the picture of true Christian worship, a unity of mind, body, heart and soul in complete intimacy with God. Worship is the purest form of pleasure and therefore brings us closest to the heart of God.
God designed us to experience pleasure. Yet, it is not a thing to be pursued but experienced when we praise God living our lives to His glory. Studies have been done in a MRI machine (which takes pictures of the brain to determine brain activity), according to a talk given by Michael Ramsden, where one person was asked to think of sexual scenarios and another was asked to "praise" God. What was found is that the same part of the brain, a pleasure center, was activated in each instance. There seems to be a design God has created in us to recieve pleasure when we worship Him that can be misused by sin. God designed us to praise Him and in so doing we recieve a pure pleasure. So, they did exactly what Solomon did thousands of years ago, tested pleasure to see what is good. Amazing how science can teach us what the Bible thousands of years earlier already told us. You were made for worship and when we follow God's design we experience pleasure as God has designed it and find fulfillment, meaning and intimacy with God that does not destroy the heart but fills it.
Today experience the pure pleasure of pouring out praise to His name and enter into the intimacy you were created for.
Prayer: Father, You give us pleasure as we give ourselves to You. As we love You with all our hearts, minds, strength and soul You fill us with our hearts deepest longings. Our hearts deepest longing is You. Fill us today as we worship You and seek Your ways. In Jesus name, amen.

No two days are ever the same, but one of my favorite ways to open is by settling into a posture, with the floor or pole, and staying there— sometimes for several minutes— as I explore weight shifts and joint articulations. I start SLOWLY, practicing patient play.
The first song lays a trail for where I will go as the session progresses—this is why starting in a way that FEELS right is key.
I've found that the more time I give myself in these first moments, the more successful the session feels. (Most are so slow that they will never ever see the internet). For me, successful sessions are:
Pleasurable (feels good during and after)
Free of negative self-dialogue (session is based on excitement and refinement rather than self-criticism)
Innovative/Creative (This one is tricky, as it's mostly a sensation. It happens when I naturally arrive in *new-to-me* shapes, patterns, and dynamics. Or when my movement is shaped by a new song I'm feeling. Innovation can be as simple as a hand gesture. Or, if I take inspiration from any other mover, I re-work it into something different. In other words, I feel creative when the session is based on research rather than chasing other people's abilities or preferences).
These points apply regardless of length-- sessions may be 5 min. or 3 hours.
To keep it real, slow, non-flashy movement isn't what gets the best response from the internet. But, it sure does get the best response from my spirit. This is where potential brews and this is where I hone foundations and connection.
Want to dive deep into intoxicating and refreshing Slow & Low practice with me?
I am adding events all week on my calendar for this Fall and early next year.

I wanted to give you an update and thank you for the Temple Massager. I've been using it heavily this weekend and it's been really really helpful. I guess I have been clinching my jaw and grinding my teeth at night or focusing while reading and my jaw muscle were really sore and tight. I spent the whole weekend massaging them and they actually feel better now.
I also used it to massage my temples because I had a headache from sore jaw muscles and that really helped too. I really appreciate the gift, thanks so much.

We all must save water
Area wells are not bound by water restrictions designed to conserve surface water. But well users need to keep in mind that the supply of groundwater is not limitless and that wasting water, whatever its source, during a drought is rash.
Many residents within the drought-stricken Upstate view wells as a loophole in the water-use restrictions imposed on those who rely on the public water system. Well drilling companies have been busy digging wells for residents who want to be able to water lawns and shrubs and wash their cars with impunity.
According to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, residents in York County have applied for 29 new irrigation wells this year. Statewide, permits for 5,516 wells have been issued so far this year, and almost half of those are for irrigation.
Well owners may have a leg up on those who get their water from municipal systems, but overuse of wells eventually will affect the level of the aquifer. Already, many well owners are having to go deeper in existing wells or dig new ones to find water.
Without rain soon, all sources of water will become scarcer, which could prompt new restrictions on use. If the drought reaches Stage 5, any use of municipal water outside of homes or businesses could be severely restricted.
Everyone within the area affected by one of the worst droughts in the region's history needs to avoid wasting water whether it's lake water or well water. And, with luck and a wet winter, lawns will turn green and cars will shine again next spring.

FT Weekend House & Home – Middleport Pottery
[better_gallery template=default ][slide type=text page=1]FT Weekend House & Home - Middleport Pottery (commission)
The Financial Times commissioned me to shoot a series of photographs at the historic Middleport Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent, focusing on its impressive Victorian buildings and several of its skilled factory workers. Middleport is the oldest continuous working china factory in Britain but recently was threatened with closure, feeling the full force of the financial crisis and struggling to maintain worn out buildings that had seen over 100 years of production. The Prince's Regeneration Trust stepped in to rescue the ailing factory in 2011, purchasing it and setting to work restoring the original structures, saving jobs and creating a new hub for the community. The story featured in a special royal issue of FT House & Home alongside a rare interview with The Prince of Wales and other pieces on The Prince's community work.

The new manager, Luis van Gaal was paid 150 million pounds for his winning streak. He is expected to help his team win the league trophy.
Manchester United is counting on Luis van Gaal to help it win the league title. The brand new manager has what it takes to make the team emerge victorious from the playoff. So he is being given a hefty amount of money to take the team through the harrowing path to the acme.
The goal before Luis van Haal is to snatch the 21st title from the jaws of defeat for the famous club. Some other coaches and managers were considered but they cannot match wits with van Haal who came out on top.
Luis has said that it had always been a dream of his to lead Manchester United to resounding success in the game. Now that he has the position, his pride knows no bounds.
He furthermore spoke of how the most famous club in the world had grand objectives before it while he too felt that there was something in the air this season. Together manager and managed would go on to gain a sweet victory.
Luis van Gaal said: "It was always a wish for me to work in the Premier League. To work as a manager for Manchester United, the biggest club in the world, makes me very proud. I have managed in games at Old Trafford before and know what an incredible arena Old Trafford is and how passionate and knowledgeable the fans are. This club has big ambitions; I too have big ambitions. Together I'm sure we will make history."
Van Gaal has reiterated the fact that his experience with young people has proved helpful in his career. The next step was to allow Manchester United to be at the top spot once again. Both as a coach and a manager, van Gaal excels with passion and panache.
He is a gem of an administrator. Bur besides all this, he is a wonderful multifaceted human being with a lot of knowledge and experience to his credit. Today he is in a position to change the fate of football as we know it.
The executive co-chairman, Joel Glazer, said: "I am delighted that Louis will be our next manager. He has an outstanding pedigree as a coach, both as a man who motivates his teams to win trophies and as someone who believes in giving young players a chance to prove their worth."
Van Gaal may have too many hopes pinned on him, but he a worthy person who just might fulfill all those expectations and much more. He is a classic example of positive genius that clears the way for talent to express itself both on and off the field.

On March 12, 2015 it was announced that the Brock University Board of Trustees had voted on a proposal to reduce the size of its board, which in turn, reduced the number of undergrad student seats from two to one. The plans for this reduction had been proposed a year earlier, and was tabled to seek community, faculty and student input.
Despite BUSU advising against this change, as well as many students voicing their concerns about changing the structure of the Board of Trustees in a way that will limit undergraduate student representation, there was a vote held in-camera on March 12, and the proposal was passed.
This is, of course, old news, as it's been almost a year since it has passed. What is news however, are the actions taken by a group of graduate students at York University where a similar situation has resulted in York University administration's proposal to be shut down.
York's graduate students led an opposition against a motion by the Faculty of Graduate Studies' governing council that proposed to reduce the number of graduate student representatives on council. Beyond representation, the motion proposed to change their current democratic form of council election, in favour of appointing council representatives.
"The proposed changes would have served to limit student influence over rules and procedures governing graduate studies at York university" said Vice President of the York University Graduate Students' Association, Mina Rajabi Paak.
On February 4, this motion was tabled and defeated. It's defeat shows the power that a student group can potentially have, even when their interests conflict with those of the university administration or other governing bodies within the university institution.
Of course, Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario Rajean Hoilett believes that this type of motion is representative of larger trends within university governance policies, beyond just York, or Brock for that matter.
"These cases are reflective of a rise in secrecy and closed-door decision-making on campuses across Ontario" said Hoilett, in a statement. "Students, faculty and community members have a right to know about the important decisions being made by their institutions, especially when it comes to tuition and the working conditions at their institutions."
Despite the defeat of the motion, the up-hill battle against the proposed changes to the governing council, the Canadian Federation of Students reports that York is looking to "re-examine" the vote results.
While it might be too late for the Brock University Board of Trustees to restore a representative student voice, as one student bears the burden of speaking for 17,000 undergraduate students, and additionally, one student speaks for all graduate students, the news of a group of York students pushing back against the interests of a massive institution should inspire all students to keep their ears to the group and recognize their collective rights to involve themselves within official processes and ensure that representative decisions are made on behalf of them.

Paragon Pals is one of our Club's newest programs. The Club collects personal items, mostly for women, that we bag and then donate to various shelters, or those in need.
We collect shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, Kleenex, soap, hand sanitizer, deodorant, lotion, combs, razors, and other miscellaneous items.
At one of the meetings before we divide up the items collected, the Club, under the expert guidance of our in-house seamstress Pat Boehm, bags are hand-made of assorted materials, and finished with a draw string. This way, when the necessities are gone, there is a bag for them to keep and use as they like.
The idea for Paragon Pals actually started when I was assisting Governor Cherie Gentry in Columbus. I had to come up with an idea to entertain those not attending the OI Ohio District training sessions. I decided on a project to help others. I sent a letter to all members of the Ohio District asking for the personal items and small purses or bags to be brought to the next quarter meeting. I was overwhelmed by the response! We made close to 300 bags that were donated to a local homeless shelter.
The program was so well received, I thought it would be great to continue it on a club level.
So far, we have donated to Hope Gospel Mission, New Life Mission, and Haven House.
We continue collecting all year long, and fill bags twice a year. We also include a card in each bag with a little message for the donee. I hope we continue this for many years, as there is always someone who needs a little help now and then.
With gratitude,
Sally Schmidt, Paragon Pals Committee Chair

DETROIT — Since this city emerged from bankruptcy at the end of 2014, it has eked out a tentative recovery, tearing down thousands of abandoned houses, restoring streetlights and luring new businesses.
Today in Detroit, "you see a mayor and a Council working together to rebuild this city," a triumphant Mayor Mike Duggan said in his annual State of the City speech last week.
But the public school system in Detroit is now on the verge of its own fiscal crisis. Darnell Earley, the departing state-appointed emergency manager, said the Detroit Public Schools, battered by declining enrollment and debt of $3.5 billion, could run out of money by April. Some officials in Michigan have predicted that the district is headed for bankruptcy.
The financing problem is adding uncertainty to a system already burdened by decrepit buildings, teacher disgruntlement, low test scores and a reputation as one of the country's most troubled school districts. Falling into default or bankruptcy could further jeopardize the education of its 45,000 children and hurt the city's fledgling recovery, officials said.
The district's only salvation may be the Republican-controlled State Legislature, whose members are considering bills in both chambers that would gradually pay down hundreds of millions in debt and effectively divide the district into two parts.
"Without that, all bets are off," Mr. Earley said in an interview in his office last week. "The whole thing will just kind of bottom out."
Mr. Duggan and other local leaders are pressing lawmakers to pass legislation in the next several weeks. "We don't have any other options," Mr. Earley said.
Adding to the turmoil is the departure of Mr. Earley, who left his position overseeing the finances and management of the district on Monday. Mr. Earley has been criticized both for his effectiveness in Detroit and for his role as emergency manager in Flint, Mich., where he oversaw the city's switch to a new water source that caused lead contamination in its water supply.
Steven W. Rhodes, a retired judge who presided over Detroit's bankruptcy, was named on Monday by Gov. Rick Snyder as the district's "transition manager." Mr. Rhodes told school district employees in a meeting last week that he expected to stay in the role only through the summer. Mr. Snyder, a Republican, has been under fire for appointing emergency managers, with critics saying the move subsumes local oversight and control.
The grim conditions of many Detroit public schools have been on national display in recent months, with frustrated principals opening their doors to show evidence of widespread vermin, mold and barely functioning heat. The academic performance of the district is so dismal that the schools are routinely rated at the bottom of urban school districts nationally.
Amber Arellano, the executive director of the Education Trust-Midwest, an education policy, research and advocacy organization in Michigan, said the Detroit schools' problems are directly tied to the city's loss of population and tax base.
"The schools suffer from a lack of resources and support for teachers," she said. "Charter schools, hailed as a savior for public schoolchildren, often perform worse than traditional public schools. All of this has left children in the city — and across urban districts in Michigan — with typically terribly low-performing public schools with huge talent and leadership challenges."
In the recent interview, Mr. Earley — who would not discuss Flint — said the district was in better shape than when he had found it, and he shook off criticism that he was not effective enough in solving the district's problems. "You can't just come in and automatically make them disappear," he said.
He said some of the mess had slowly been cleaned up. Enrollment, which dropped to 45,000 students this year from 150,000 in 2000, had begun to stabilize. He eliminated almost 90 administrative positions and whittled down the number of departments in the district's central office.
"We've eliminated a lot of the bureaucracy," he said. "I would like to think that we did what we needed to do. And we've set the Detroit Public Schools on a course of long-term financial solvency and long-term sustainability."
But the district's financial problems are crippling, officials said. The enrollment loss has resulted in a steep decline in revenue for the district, which depends partly on per-pupil funding from the state. That has made it more difficult to reduce debt, maintain buildings and pay for fixed costs.
Entering bankruptcy "is not a solution," said Karol K. Denniston, a veteran bankruptcy lawyer. "It's basically a conversation about how to carve up the assets among creditors. It doesn't necessarily fix anything unless someone steps up to offer more funding."
Mr. Earley said he wanted the Legislature to adopt a plan supported by Mr. Snyder, which would create a new district for the existing schools and spin off the old one as a subsidiary that would exist solely to pay down debt. The debt payments — about $72 million a year for a decade — would come from the state's tobacco settlement fund, which generates close to $200 million a year. The move, Mr. Snyder said in his budget address last month, would help relieve the district's financial stress.
In the Senate, a package of bills introduced by a Republican would establish an appointed interim school board for the new proposed district, gradually pay off much of the district's old debt and transfer $250 million from the state's general fund to the school district.
To the dismay of Democrats, House Republicans have countered with their own bills that would relieve debt but also tack on conservative-friendly measures like curbing collective bargaining for teachers.
Mr. Earley was appointed by Mr. Snyder in January 2015 after leaving the emergency manager post in Flint, where he had served since October 2013, a period in which the city switched to water from the Flint River. (He is scheduled to testify before a congressional committee examining the Flint crisis in March.)
The Detroit Public Schools were already suffering financially and academically when the state imposed emergency management in 2009, but many residents have chafed at the lack of local control. Many also are critical of Mr. Earley, 64, who has spent his career in management and budget positions.
Teachers, who have protested school conditions with "sickouts," said the deteriorating buildings, the lack of resources and the district's impending insolvency had not improved under Mr. Earley's management.
"A lot of things on his watch were not addressed," said Ivy Bailey, the head of the teachers' union.
Craig Thiel, a senior research associate for the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, a public policy research group, said conditions had created a "herculean" challenge for anyone to turn around the school system. He pointed to the deindustrialization of Detroit, the explosion of charter schools — more than half of Detroit's schoolchildren attend one — and unfunded pension benefits that have carried over for years.
However, Mr. Thiel added, the emergency management system "hasn't worked."
"It hasn't solved these problems," he said. "Emergency managers can do anything they want on the spending side of the ledger, but they can't go out and raise taxes and they can't make kids come to their school district, which would increase their revenue."
Mr. Earley acknowledged that his exit may allow the political process to move more smoothly to address the district's debts, given the fierce opposition from many Michiganders to emergency managers.
Members of the Democratic minority in the Legislature said they were eager to take action. But Brian Banks, a Democratic House member from Detroit, said the bills introduced by Republicans in the House to deal with the Detroit system's woes would take away power from the union and delay a return to an elected school board for too long — eight years.
He was also troubled by provisions that would impose a grading system on individual schools. "If these reforms are good, then we should make them statewide," he said.
Bankruptcy experts said school districts might threaten to enter bankruptcy but rarely took the step, partly because of the damage it would inflict on the city.
"If you have a school district in bankruptcy, do you really want to move there? Do you want to expand your business there?" asked James E. Spiotto, a bankruptcy lawyer and an expert on municipal bankruptcy. "The recovery of the city is inextricably entwined with the recovery of the school district."

When you think of froth, it would produce diverse illustrations or photos and ideas. A rabid dog foaming in the mouth signifies a hazardous circumstance, when a baby fidgeting with a mass of soapy bubbles evokes a far more nice feeling. Foam floating about the surface area of the lake, on the other hand, is just not so satisfying for it can pose an environmental challenge. The more you master with regard to the triggers and consequences of foamy pond water the earlier you'll be able to reduce this possible pollutant and maintain your aquatic lifestyle and crops risk-free.
What Will cause Pond Foam?
In short, over the water's surface there may be a scaled-down sum of h2o molecules than deeper from the pond. These molecules adhere alongside one another given that they can not hook up with all the air, and as being a final result this bond creates a movie that kinds a barrier that, as surface area stress lessens, provides bubbles. The greater bubbles that outcome, the foamier the h2o gets.
Lake foam can happen normally or via pollution - particularly when detergents or soaps are produced in the h2o. Though most of the people generally associate soap with cleanliness, in the lake it could possibly lead to difficulties. Increase in micro organism, threats to fish and various animal lifetime, and grime flotation absolutely are a several of the results that can damage the aesthetic magnificence of your drinking water house. That's why it's vital that you cut down and eradicate completely the buildup within the water's surface area and all-around the sides on the lake.
A defoamer is undoubtedly an agent added to your liquid to remove area foam and enable release trapped air. These agents are frequent in lots of foaming liquids for instance cooking oil and laundry soap. Also they are typical in the large array of industrial procedures ranging from oil refining to wastewater treatment. For most cases, a deformer is placed within a water or oil mixture right before currently being put in the liquid. These mixtures assist to distribute the defoamer evenly in the liquid and infrequently endorse a particular style of air elimination.
Foam could be the layer of bubbles that rises towards the top rated of the liquid. Whatever the liquid, the bubbles operate a similar way. Air gets to be trapped while in the liquid and slowly and gradually brings together to variety a bubble. The bubble will increase to the floor wherever it will eventually accumulate within a thick layer of bubbles, or foam. It can be feasible which the foam would as a substitute sink to your bottom, in case the liquid ended up by some means lighter than air.
When air is trapped in selected liquids, it might cause a dilemma when those people liquids are processed. By way of example, if dishwasher detergent experienced the exact same foaming ability as typical dish soap, the suds would rapidly overflow the dishwasher. Furthermore, the rinsing action with the dishwasher might be insufficient to eliminate the soap residue.

Just letting you know that there will probably be no postings for the next few weeks and that I am not planning on abandoning the webpage. Will be taking a few weeks away from the ministry work and do some Eastern Nebraska ranching. Deb and I still have lots of clean-up to do from last winter and need to set things up for this winter. Pasture fences to fix, trees to cut and clear, and wood to chop for firewood. We will spend considerable time on the horses and take advantage of the mornings for extended devotions. See you back in October ranch-hardened.
P.S. I am also plannning on fishing on our farm pond and I will post lunker pictures as I catch them. :)

Rare Lynx in Alberta
I wonder if the cat lives around here too?
I have seen many wild animals in my neck of the woods. Last year, a quail and her babies walked in front of my house. I frequently see wild pheasants, deer, wild rabbits, and bald eagles around here. The odd black bear has poked around too. A couple of times a large golden eagle has perched in one of the trees in the back-40. I have also seen a wolf and many many turkey vultures (but not on my property). The one that I think is the most unusual is the large turtle that lives in Turtle Lake. The turtles seem out of place in this area.
What kinds of wild animals do you see in your area?

It is surely not simple to find that 'someone special' in your life and once you add HIV / AIDS or another STD to the equation, it may possibly grow to be rather more difficult.

They try to make their online courting website as protected as doable by finishing up background checks on all candidates. Promote about your website on varied social networking websites, blogs and numerous relationship sites.
I'm surprised to learn that 1/3 of all online daters by no means went on an actual date (much less stunned for these over 50). Having the ability to respond quickly and to ignite new chats with those you want is a giant advantage in on-line dating that merely does not exist in any other dating technique.

Finest for People in search of a long run relationship and people who find themselves frustrated with traditional courting. And practically all sites with a subscription-primarily based cost mannequin draw criticism for his or her automated subscription renewals, which customers say are sneaky and arduous to cancel. It is very important select a courting website that can maximize your possibilities of getting out to a number of dates with different singles you'll be able to match with.
Most courting sites have change into extremely good about policing their members for unfavorable or unsafe behavior. It is understandable that many couples who met earlier than online dating started to get popular, and even when the concept was more stigmatized, wouldn't have considered it as an possibility. This, mixed with highly skilled scammer prevention groups, have made on-line courting safer than it has ever been. The share of 18- to 24-year-olds who use on-line relationship has roughly tripled from 10% in 2013 to 27% immediately. Along with its dating element, PositiveSingles is an active assist group and academic useful resource for its members.
One-third of people that have used on-line courting have never truly gone on a date with someone they met on these sites. There are literally thousands of younger women relationship older males couples at this time and they appear to be pleased with one another. One other facet would be the relationship kind – relationship for lengthy and critical relationships versus informal dating and hookup websites. Immediately, 12% of fifty five- to 64-12 months-olds report ever utilizing a web-based dating website or cell courting app versus only 6% in 2013. We assist their search by providing certainly one of Canada's greatest relationship sites for severe singles, in addition to providing supportive relationship recommendation.

Vizio Co-Star LT is A Cheaper Version of their Streaming Box, Here is How it Stacks Up Against the Competition
There are no shortage of options when it comes to streaming content on your living room's TV. Case in point is Google's Chromecast, a Roku box, or Apple's Apple TV. And entering the fray today to compete with the aforementioned devices is Vizio's Co-Star LT. Learn more about smart TV options.
The Co-Star LT is a lighter, cheaper version of the first Co-Star. It costs $79.99 ($20 cheaper than the first co-star). Instead of offering a complete Google TV experience, it allows you to stream video from a wide variety of sources and control the box using the included simplified remote or a compatible smart device. So suffice to say, it's a water downed version of the first Vizio Co-Star.
But that isn't to say Vizio has skimped on the specs. There is built-in WiFi, in and out HDMI ports, full HD support, 3D support, and a USB 2.0 port for playing back content from a flash drive.
And here is the competition…
Apple TV
A small box that connects to your TV, and in addition to playing back video (and audio) content from a variety of sources (including HBO Go), it can stream audio and video wirelessly from an iOS device (only) via Apple's Airplay. Apple might announce a new version of the Apple TV next week at their October 22nd event.
There are a few levels of Roku box to choose from, which range in price from $49.99 to $99.99. They offer a wide swath of "channels", and unlike the Apple TV you can use an Android or iOS device to control the box. You can now also stream content direct to the box from your handset or tablet much like Apple's TV. Lastly, Roku also sells a small thumbsized stick that plugs into your HDMI port of your TV and offers many if not all of the same features.
The Chromecast (read our Chromecast review here) is the cheapest ($35) of options available today, but its feature set is also rather skimp. Unlike, the aforementioned product, you'll need a computer or smart device to stream/control content. And streaming partners are rather limited, though they include Netflix and Youtube, so finding something to watch isn't a problem.
There are a wide number of Smart TVs today, and provided they're connected to your home's internet, many of them can stream content from HBO Go, Netflix, and many of the popular services. Just be warned that they're often beleaguered with sluggish performance and cumbersome UIs.

Roy comes clean to Shojo on the purpose of the mission to Cliffport, and Shojo reminds him of the cost.
Cast Edit
- Roy Greenhilt ◀ ▶
- Belkar Bitterleaf ◀ ▶
- Nale (as Elan) ◀ ▶
- Shojo ◀ ▶
- Mr. Scruffy ◀ ▶
- Wizard Guy ◀
Transcript Edit
- Panel 1
Roy, Nale and Belkar talk with Shojo. Belkar uses a ball of yarn to play with Mr. Scrufy. A bag lies next to them.
Shojo: ...and now you know the Secret Lore of the Sapphire Guard. Again.
Nale: Thanks! I'll try not to forget it this time.
Roy: I should hope not. Some of us don't get to fast-forward past the retelling, you know.
- Panel 2
Shojo: On to other business. Other than the unfortunate accident, how did your attempt to track down Xykon's associate go?
Roy: What? Oh, right. Well, it, uh... well actually, we... ah, crap.
- Panel 3
Roy: It turns out we forgot to actually ask him anything useful about Xykon. We just kicked his ass and sent him to prison.
Belkar: We were supposed to ask him questions? I thought—OWW!
Belkar is interupted by a swift kick to the chest by Roy.
- Panel 4
Roy: The truth is, while yes, Nale is a known associate of Xykon's, we actually went to Cliffport because he had kidnapped my little sister.
Nale: What?!?
Roy: I guess we could head back there to ask Nale. He's just rotting in prison...
- Panel 5
Shojo: Sorry, no. I'm going to have to veto the redundant side-trip to question the ex-minion.
Nale: Whew!
Shojo: We're in a hurry here. I want you at Girard's Gate as soon as possible.
- Panel 6
Roy: Hey, don't order me around, Shojo.
Roy: I'm not one of your fawning subservient paladins. Let's not forget that I'm doing you a favor here.
- Panel 7
Shojo: Ah yes, the favor of downsizing my personal staff for me?
Roy: Hey, he teleported us into a—
Shojo: What do you think, loyal wizard follower? Do you think Roy is doing a good job so far?
- Panel 8
Shojo produces Wizard Guy's skeleton from the bag and holds it like a puppet.
Shojo: "Oh yes, Lord Shojo! I'm enjoying being a partially digested skeleton!"
Shojo: "Especially now that I've learned it happened on a trip that had no actual bearing on the mission for which he had been paid in advance!"
Belkar: Oooo! Burned by the geezer!
- Panel 9
Roy: OK, fine. You're right, we'll head to Girard's Gate right now.
Shojo: Great idea! Here, I'll have my best wizard teleport you!
- Panel 10
Shojo: "Sure thing, Lord Shojo!"
Shojo throws Wizard Guy's skeleton at Roy.
Shojo: "TELEPORT!!"
Roy: Gah!!
- Panel 11
Shojo: Oh, look at that. It didn't work.
Shojo: I guess you'll have to wait until we're done resurrecting him. Come back tomorrow.
- Panel 12
Belkar: That was friggin' fantastic. I wish this was a democracy so I could vote for that guy.
Roy: Really? 'Cause right now, I feel like he's been too soft on crime.
Roy: Specifically, yours.
D&D Context Edit
- As the title notes, Perform is in the Aristocrat's skill list. Shojo is a level 14 Aristocrat. Perform is actually nine different subskills, each requiring a skill slot to gain proficiency. Shojo apparently has devoted slots to Perform (Puppetry), or if one is to fit it into the canonical categories, it would be Perform (Comedy).
Trivia Edit
- This is the final appearance of Wizard Guy. He first appeared in #340.

Tip #36: Stop the Summer Reading Slump
Kitty Felde
About the time I learned how to write my name (a requirement in those days to get a library card) my folks moved to a new house. It was down the street from the local public library. I spent most of my summers plopped down in front of the fiction section, working my way through the stacks.
I'm still a big fan of public libraries...particularly their summer reading programs. Nearly every library has one: kids are challenged to read a certain number of hours. Those who do are rewarded with prizes.
In DC, if you read at least 8 hours, you get a burrito and free tickets to a Washington Nationals baseball game. Read 28 hours and you could win lunch with a famous author. In Chicago, the mayor put his brand on the challenge: "Rahm's Readers" are required to read AND visit a museum AND create art or a story. Prizes include a free book and a chance at a backpack of books and STEM activities. InSan Diego, if you read at least ten hours, you can earn free passes to the zoo, free pizza or burgers.
Kids may sign up for the bribes, but who cares? Studies show that students who participate in public library summer reading programs score higher on achievement tests when they return to the classroom.
So take your readers to the library and sign them up!
PS: many libraries have summer reading programs for parents, too!
Does your local library have fun rewards for their summer reading program? Let us know! Send us an email.

The Philadelphia Eagles' defense shines in upset victory over the Minnesota Vikings
The defense of the Philadelphia Eagles was the key factor in their major upset victory on Sunday.
"Momma always said the Philadelphia Eagles were like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Forrest Gump was quoted in saying something like that. After exploding at the start of the season for three straight victories, the Eagles dropped two straight games in ugly fashion. Sunday's game against the then-undefeated Minnesota Vikings seemed like a sure loss. Well, not exactly. The Eagles pulled out a 21-10 upset victory in which the defense played in dominant fashion.
More from Inside the Iggles
- Despite turnovers, Philadelphia Eagles take down unbeaten Vikings16h ago
- No More Games When It Comes To Domestic Violence1 d ago
- Philadelphia Eagles to show their true colors against Minnesota Vikings1 d ago
- An exclusive interview about the Vikings with Adam Carlson of "The Viking Age"1 d ago
- The Philadelphia Eagles Road to Redemption is a Rocky One2d ago
Jordan Hicks, Brandon Graham, Connor Barwin, and Rodney McLeod all turned in their best individual performances of the season. Each fueled one of the most impressive defensive showings in recent memory. They forced turnovers, shut down the Vikings run game and helped carry their team to the promise land.
Hicks was absolutely phenomenal on Sunday afternoon. The second-year player had a great rookie season before his injury. This season he hasn't quite played up to the level that he did last year, but he's been solid in every game so far. In this one, Hicks flashed signs of brilliance all day long. He was better than solid, he was exceptional. He had an impact on several plays. On one in particular, he ran laterally to the sideline to make a tackle on an opposing running back, resulting in a loss. He exploded through the holes, and when it was all said and done, he had tallied 11 tackles, including one sack, three tackles for a loss, one hit on the quarterback, and two passes defensed. Now thats one heck of a stat line.
Graham aka "Graham Sacker" had the biggest impact of anyone in this game, with the exception of maybe Rodney McLeod. Graham forced a fumble, had a sack and hit Sam Bradford five times. He'd finish the game with three tackles. The numbers don't even indicate how good he was. The veteran defensive end caused disruption on seemingly every play. He's been tremendous all year, and he's only getting better.

Barwin made the most of his playing time today. Last week, the Eagles coaches stated that they wanted to reduce Barwin's snaps in order to keep the veteran fresh. That plan worked to the tune of a forced fumble, a sack, and four tackles. This game was an encouraging fans watching and for Barwin. He's been seemingly invisible at times during this season.
McLeod is just a playmaker. He's having an all-pro season thus far, and he produced his best game yet on Sunday. Clearly the team's biggest free-agent acquisition in the off-season, McLeod hasn't disappointed. He's everything you would want your strong safety to be. In this game, McLeod chipped in with seven tackles, one pass defensed, one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble. The interception came in the end zone when the previously mentioned Graham forced an errant throw from Bradford. The star safety's strip sack came courtesy of a blitz drawn up by defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.
On Sunday, the Eagles proved to be a football team that's going to be unpredictable all year. Inconsistency rarely leads to any type of success, but the "Bird Gang" now sports a 4-2 record with an important divisional game on deck. The Eagles play in primetime next Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. That one should be interesting.

On "The GIE or how to boost environmental collective dynamics?"; Bruno Genin, President of GIE LA VAREZE and Elise Leal, head of SCARA FORMATION, answered 'the invitation of the Rhône-Alpes River Association which organized the technical day on January 12 in Brégnier-Cordon.

Bruno presented the genesis of the group and explained how and why the group initially formed around the issue of water quality, was subsequently seized other themes. Indeed, the GIE , GIEE certified in December 2015, has upgraded its technical routes, reduced tillage, legume developed and is now considering very active in agricultural biogas.
Bruno, passionate agronomy, presented the developments on his farm, with a decrease of IFT nearly 50% in 5 years. The concrete examples and figures illustrated the presentation.
Concerning the working method, Bruno and Elise have highlighted the importance of bottom-up approaches and networking, which are an essential condition for ownership stakes of three agricultural performance. Bruno, stressed the importance of anticipating the constraints that must be addressed as opportunities to evolve rather than suffer them.

7 Things No One Ever Tells You About Your First Year at Emory
1. CVS will ruin your life.
We all come into freshman year with this idea: "I'm going to make a budget and stick to it!" Nope. With $6 Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and $5 bags of Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups, you can say good-bye to any hope of staying within that budget.
2. Eagle Convenience will also ruin your life.
CVS can be a hike depending on where you reside on campus. So sometimes you might think, "Hey, I don't feel like going all the way to CVS, I'll just go to the convenience store." DON'T DO IT. The prices at Eagle Convenience make CVS look like the Walmart of drug stores. It's a heart attack waiting to happen.
3. Lofted beds are dangerous.
My mom wouldn't send me any of the things I left at home until I ordered a guardrail for my lofted bed. Not even my passport. A kid in my hall fell out of is bed and sprained his arm. 'Nuff said.
4. Songfest is the best thing ever.
In previous years, Songfest was pretty lame. However, our freshman class raised the bar and made it one of my favorite events so far. And it has nothing to do with the fact that my hall won. (Raoul Hall, best hall!) In all seriousness, it is a great way to bond with other freshmen--my hallmates and I bonded during Songfest practice. We all traded stories about our lives back home and shared our anxieties about our very first year at college. And of course, Songfest was a great way to exhibit our Emory pride!
5. 150 Dooley Dollars = nothing.
Emory requires all freshman to get the most expensive meal plan. This plan includes unlimited meal swipes to the DUC and 150 Dooley Dollars per semester. I was ecstatic about all those Dooley Dollars! 150? So many, right? No. Between Cox Hall (two words: Twisted. Taco.) and Zaya's, you will blow through those dollars in no time. I've been at Emory for two months and I think I have about 30 Dooley Dollars left….
6. WoodRec hours are the worst.
There are many times when I thought the WoodRec was open, only to find out I was mistaken. I would dream about the grilled cheese all week and when I finally arrived, I would see that the lights were off. Seriously, what restaurant (dining hall?) is closed on Friday and Saturday?
7. The people at Emory seriously care.
Professors, roommates, faculty—people at Emory are genuinely concerned about your wellbeing. The other day, my roommate slapped a honey bun out of my hands because I was already buying candy. She told me that I "didn't need all that sugar." My professors have been incredibly helpful and understanding. My philosophy professor made a point to tell our class that professors are not just here to help academically, but they are also here to help us socially and mentally. My friends are dedicated to making sure that I don't fail Gen Chem by helping me with homework. They give me encouragement and they push me when I need to be pushed. Having the support system that is in place at Emory makes all the difference, especially for a freshman.
It looks like college might not be so scary after all.

Nine tenants left homeless by Mission District fire
A fire of unknown origin damaged an apartment building and a convenience store in the Inner Mission on Saturday, leaving nine tenants homeless but causing no injuries.
The fire, reported at 4:44 p.m., occurred at the rear of the two-story building that also housed Bob's Grill at 2999 Harrison St. near 26th Street. The two-alarm blaze drew 66 firefighters who brought flames under control by 6:02 p.m., said Lt. Jonathan Baxter of the San Francisco Fire Department.
A one-story, four-car garage attached to the apartment building also suffered damage, as did the rear of a home next door.
Maximo Lopez, a construction worker, Rigoberto Pol, a welder, and a female tenant were apparently the only people inside the building when the fire broke out. Lopez was watching TV when he heard people screaming outside, and became aware the building was on fire, he said in Spanish through a neighbor, Josias Zarate, who translated.
Lopez saw no sign of fire inside the building, but went door-to-door to help neighbors evacuate. Pol went outside to inspect and speaking though a translator, said he thought it looked as if the fire had started at the ground level at the rear of the building and climbed up.
Zarate, who lives a block away, said he just risen from a nap to see his apartment lights blinking, and he, too, heard people screaming outside.
"My wife started screaming and we saw smoke blowing in our direction, so we ran outside because we were afraid our building was going to catch on fire," he said. It did not. He called a cousin who lives in the building, Juan Ovalle, but found he was at work on a construction job at the time of the fire.
Once outside, Zarate said he heard a clicking or popping noise similar to the sound of fireworks, which he said "happens out here all the time."
Baxter, the fire department spokesman, said the cause of the fire is under investigation. The American Red Cross and the mayor's office were working to assist the displaced residents.

The Role of Technology Designed For Senior Living Facilities Today - Securing Senior Living Part #3
During part 2 of this blog series, we discussed the advanced technological capabilities of wandering management technology and its importance in the assisted living industry. Now, let's understand access control technology.
Update your Access Control System Regularly
Read about 5 signs your access control system needs an urgent update. Access control is an important technology in the senior living facility space because many nursing homes, assisted and independent living homes need proper access control to ensure the safety of residents.
A Senior Living Facility Requirement
Access control technology provides peace of mind for loved ones and caregivers by alerting staff of items like:
- After hours visitors
- Video surveillance and controlled entry of exterior doors
- Unauthorized access to medical records and medication storage
Coupling wireless technology with other aspects of access control, such as RFID technology and video monitoring, the safety of residents, visitors, and staff is secure. This technology enhances the efficiency of building security by placing more information at the disposal of the staff while they focus on providing person-centered care.

Here are some other places you can see some of my art. The Society 6 link has some Guardian Ghost stuff you can buy and maybe wear!
Hey now, at least warn the guy if you're planning on jumping out at him!

Fangirl Favors Fancy Flashlight
Last night, at Ted's talk, I bought four $1 raffle tickets for various toys donated by his company, Lucasarts. I put my personal e-mail address on the tickets, so I was mildly disappointed when I didn't hear anything last night. Well, this morning, I had e-mail from SR, at work! I won the grand prize, the Obi-wan Kenobi Lightsaber! Wow! I thought I'd be lucky if I won an Artoo-Potatoo. If you grew up watching the movies, playing with the action figures, and listening to the soundtracks over and over, then you will understand me when I say how awesome it will be to wave this overgrown flashlight around for hours on end. The sound effects are great and turning it on and off is too cool.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we've had quite a bit of wind. The power was off at my house for approximately 24 hours. Unfortunately, this branch is still precariously balanced in one of my neighbor's trees, along my property.

TMMN Jukebox Vol. 2/
Well, this is a feature I thought would become more of a thing, but never did -- the retroactive "Volume 1" was all the way back in 2013!
Anyway, in my travels across the internet, I come across a fair bit of game music, and a good number of those pieces are from Mega Man. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to give them their own dedicated post, so for the sake of expediency and getting them seen in a somewhat-timely manner, here's a virtual jukebox of fan-remixed Mega Man songs for you to listen to.
Starting us off is this live performance of Skull Man's stage theme from Mega Man 4, as performed by Extra Lives:
You can find more from them on their YouTube channel. Thanks to Cheryll Mansueto for passing this along!
Now here's something quite different than we're used to seeing around here. While remixes of music from the Mega Man video games are quite common, remixes from the cartoons are another matter entirely. But that's what Emmanuel EXE apparently commissioned Luke Jansen on YouTube to do, as there is now an entire seven-track remix album based on music from the Rockman.EXE anime. Check it out:
Thanks to MegaTuga for sending this my way!
Finally, to close us out is a trio of Epic Game Music guitar remixes of some Classic -- and one X -- songs. First up is Flash Man's stage theme:
Next up is a quick jump to the year 21XX as we look to the skies for Storm Eagle's soaring tune:
And finally, it's back to the modern day for Mega Man 2's somber ending theme:
And there you have it! Enjoy the tunes, leave your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to tip your waiters (i.e. click "Like" on the videos and maybe subscribe, since YouTubers live or die by that stuff).

Most Anticipated Movies of Autumn '16Friday, September 09, 2016
|Most Anticipated Movies of Autumn '16
One of the new series on the blog, 'Flickster' , as the name suggests, is going to be all about our take on different 'flicks'. Since many Pakistani and Indian flicks are releasing this fall around Eid-ul-Azha, Diwaali and Christmas, today I am presenting the first post from this series. So, all you gotta do is grab your popcorn and get ready to watch the trailers and video songs (only those I liked. YAAAS!) to be in a better position to decide on which of the Pakistani and Indian movies releasing this fall are worth your bucks. Hurry up as some of these release tomorrow and next Friday.
P.S. The numbering of the movies follows the chronological order of their release date.
1. Baar Baar Dekho – Release Date: September 9, 2016.
While I am not a fan of masala films that it appeared to be like from the Kaala Chashma video song, I watched the trailer only after watching KJ's interview where he said that he has not read a Baar Baar Dekho over a decade or so. Why does this one seem to be inspired by 17 Again and Going 13 On 30. WHY? If it actually turned out to be largely inspired from these, I'd wear my Kaala Chashma all through the movie. Like every other girl out there, I am a Siddharth Malhotra fan, but I do not have very high hopes with this one.
2. Freaky Ali – Release Date: September 9, 2016.
Starring the incredible Nawazzudin Siddiqui, Freaky Ali is a sport-y rom-com alongside Amy Jackson and Sohail Khan, this is a must watch. To know more, you HAVE to watch the trailer.
3. Janaan – Release Date: September 13, 2016.
The sweet title song of Janaan's OST by Armaan Malik and the beautiful Pashto song Reid-i-Gul from the movie have already taken the internet by storm. Screenplay by the talented Osman Khalid Butt a.k.a. OKB, interestingly co-produced by Mehreen Farooq, and featuring the ever so gorgeous Armeena Rana Khan and the hilarious Ali Rehman Khan, and the dimple guy Bilal Ashraf, who is better known as "the Siddharth Malhotra of Pakistan", I am pretty excited for this one. It has been shot in Swat, guys! If you want to watch a light movie with great cinematography and are intrigued to see the lighter side of the Pakhtun culture against the stereotypical image with clichéd patriarchic roles that we are done watching, this one is for you. While it will be in theatres all across Pakistan and 17 other countries including India this Eid-ul-Azha, i.e., September 13, until then you can watch the trailer and the tracks from the movie.
4. Actor in Law - Release Date: September 13, 2016.
The comic satire, Actor in Law, which features Fahad Mustafa alongside Mehwish Hayat in the main lead. The former plays the character of a guy who is passionate for acting but succumbs to his father's wishes and ends up taking the role of a lawyer. Interestingly, the father's character is played by none other than the legendary, Om Puri. Meanwhile, check out the trailer and the song Dil Ye Dancer Ho Gaya by Atif Aslam from its OST.
5. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil – Release Date: October 28, 2016.
Although, ADHM is slated for an October 28 release, it is one movie I am desperately looking forward to. Directed by Karan Johar, it stars the most talented heartthrob of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor alongside Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and a "special" appearance by Fawad Khan. I'm glued to the teaser and the title song from the OST of this movie like butter is hooked to bread, masala to fries and chocolates to.. well, almost everybody! Every time I watch it, the restless soul in me ends up reading the plot of the movie in a different way. While Ranbir Kapoor's charming yet intense expressions are to die for (as always), Fawad's charismatic personality as one only catches only a few glimpses of him in the teaser and music video, are sure to make one swoon. While RK's chemistry with Anushka comes as no surprise before they have worked in Bombay Velvet before, I'm amazed to see that he looks compatible with a senior actress like Aishwarya too. Totally not expecting it to be the usual story of unrequited love. Surely gonna watch this one in theatres. Till then, watching the teaser and title track once again won't hurt except.. making one more restless. Ahem.
6. Dobara Phir Se – Initial Release Date: November 25, 2016.
The fact that it stars Sanam Saeed and Hareem Farooq, who are known for taking daring roles and pulling them off well AND has been directed by none other than the mastermind, Mehreen Jabbar should be convincing enough to give it a go. For me the cherry on top is that it stars my man crush Adeel Hussain and one of the first-ever crushes, Ali Kazmi. The movie, which is apparently a tale about twisted relationships, also stars Atiqa Odho in a pivotal role, besides Shaz Khan and Tooba Siddiqui as the supporting cast.
7. Rock On 2 – Release Date: November 11, 2016.
If you have seen Rock On, which was a great musical, you cannot afford to miss Rock On 2. While Shraddha Kapoor and Prachi Desai look amazing, the two age—defying lads, Farhan Akhtar and Arjun Rampal will always remain the cool guys! Check out the teaser which was released only two days ago!
8. Befikre – Initial Release Date: December 9, 2016.
While steamy posters of the leading pair: Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor on beautiful locations are doing rounds on the internet, it only after the trailer release that I'd be able to decide whether to watch this one or not! (Added to the list because like everyone else, I am intrigued.) Till then.. you may watch these as you wait for that!
Do share your feedback and list down the movies you're looking forward to watch this Autumn in the comments' section below.
Until next time,

H&V Collision Center, the largest independent and family-owned collision repair company in the Capital Region, will once again team up with GEICO to provide three cars to three deserving veterans during an August 19 Tri-City ValleyCats game.
The 2017 donation follows a memorable donation during the summer of 2016 when H&V, GEICO and other partners teamed up at a ValleyCats game for a donation of three cars to three veterans.
The vehicles donated on August 19 will be the 18th, 19th and 20th vehicles donated by H&V. Last month, H&V and partners donated a refurbished van to the Vet House in Albany. The vehicles donated on August 19 will be the 19th, 20th, and 21st vehicles donated by H&V.
The donation of the three vehicles by H&V and GEICO will take place at the ValleyCats game the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium on Saturday, August 19. The event will start at 4:30 p.m. and the reveal of the vehicles will take place during the game, with fans in attendance.
H&V has supported a number of causes and organizations to support veterans in recent years, and employs a number of veterans at the seven H&V facilities throughout the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. H&V has been recognized by local veteran organizations for their support of veteran causes.
"All of us at H&V Collision Center, GEICO and other partners recognize the enormous service by our veterans and their families. H&V is proud to be able to join with our partners for this important donation to help three veterans following their service to our country," said H&V's Vartan Jerian Jr.
"These donations show our veterans that their service is appreciated, respected and remembered. Last year was a great and moving event, and all of us at H&V are looking forward to the donation on August 19," added Jerian.
The donation process takes months. H&V crews work with GEICO and other partners to select and refurbish vehicles to high standards before the donation.
Along with the donation of the vehicles, H&V has joined as a sponsor of the ValleyCats for the 2017 season of the Penn League Class A franchise. H&V is sponsoring the Mayor's Race, featured during the seventh inning of every 'Cats home game.
Founded 40-years-ago, H&V has expanded from a two-man operation on Oakwood Avenue in Troy, to the largest independently-owned collision repair business in the Capital Region. H&V Collision Center now operates seven locations in the Capital Region and upstate, including locations in Troy, Queensbury, Saratoga, Colonie, Kingston, Schenectady and Clifton Park.
H&V Collision Center was started in the early 1970s by Vartan Jerian Sr. H&V prides itself on customer service, and has earned a customer satisfaction ranking of over 97 percent. H&V supports many community and charitable organizations, and H&V's community service was recognized in a December 2012 cover story in the national trade magazine Fender Bender. H&V also implemented new technology and practices to make its four locations more environmentally safe. H&V has also implemented modern management practices that reduced repair times and made its shops more efficient.
