Should My Band Hire a Publicist?
I'm in a psychedelic punk band (think a Flaming Lips/Minutemen/Cake combo) and wrapping up work on a new self-released EP. I have this feeling that nobody is going to hear it outside of our small circle of friends. Our main goal is to have the EP reviewed in music magazines/websites/blogs in hopes that would spread our music to at least a few other people and maybe get some attention from small festival promoters. We're on a pretty tight budget but I've thought about contacting publicists who work for more prominent bands we dig, but I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in working with a mostly unknown band with such weird music. I figure we're going to need a publicist with connections to the right music reviewers to make this happen, but I don't know how to find a good one. Help!
Thanks a bunch,
Echos Myron
Dear E.M.,
It's good you're facing your fear now because your hunch is correct: your record is probably going to languish amongst your friends and existing fans.
Dear E.M.,
Also, your music is not that weird. Some of your reference points are bands that have had hits now and again. "Weird," is Keiji Haino doing a side of thumb piano and washing machine; weird is relative and makes you sound hyperbolic. Purge this idea that you are too out there to be fully understood; it's tripping you up needlessly. It's the sort of idea that lodges in your artist brain and will make you bitter over time. You'll end up sounding like Jim O'Rourke in that interview he did with The Wire about how he was expatriating because no one in Chicago knew about super obscure British folk music; how no one gets you is a sad trope.
The other thing that's tripping you up? This idea that if you do x, then you will automatically get a particular, fixed result. That's one of the myths of being in a band. And also of just being alive in general. You could hire a really fancy publicist that knows all the right people and get you some really good reviews in secondary market weeklies and a two line review in Men's Health and a Brooklyn Vegan post. And then you are out $6000, give or take a grand, and nothing has changed or gotten easier. The main difference is now you have a press kit.
Another problem is that it's an EP. A lot of writers don't often care about or cover EPs; I myself am one of those people. For a recent example of a famous musician issuing an EP and people barely giving a shit, see Lana Del Rey. How many EPs are in your iPod at this very moment? Be honest. How many times this years did someone say to you "Oh my god, I loved their EP!" and they weren't talking about Angel Haze? I understand that sometimes doing an EP instead of an album is a matter of money, but its 2012, you can find a way to do it for free or very cheap. I think the nature of how we consume music means you need to either make it a single or make it an LP. An EP can read as a lack of commitment or that you are a band with only three good songs. Exception to that rule being that it's all covers, or it's a tribute or themed around a holiday like Arbor Day or Lincoln's Birthday.

If you are wondering when I am going to answer your question about how to hire a publicist, I'm not, because you shouldn't. I say that as someone who did PR for bands like yours for a decade. Focus on getting local press through making personal contact with those folks, or maybe rope in an ambitious young person in your scene who is interested in getting into "the music industry" and see if they want to help you out with promoting your release. It is a fantasy that the right publicist can just "make it happen."
Your time is going to be best spent promoting your release in town and regionally. Being written up in the Eau Claire Daily Pinecone is certainly not as exciting as being Best New Music'd out of obscurity by Pitchfork -- but build locally and work up. Sure, email a little pitch and Soundcloud link to every music blog and website that matters to you and cross your fingers, but do not spend money on a publicist until you have something good going locally. By that I mean consistently drawing 150-200 people every time you play, supporting national bands at bigger venues in your city, have buzz and tangible audience in nearby cities.
Once you have all that and have an album to promote and are planning on touring to support it, then we can talk about hiring a publicist.

Oleksander Tymosshenko
|Alma mater:

|Politician, Businesswoman
|Ukrainian Orthodox
Yulia Tymoshenko is a Russian Politician, and the current President of Russia (2005 -). She is popularly dubbed in the Western press "The Iron Lady" of Russia.
She was previously a very successful businesswoman and member of the Duma.
In 2004 she was elected President of Russia in the so called Orange Revolution, that saw her Fatherland Party win a landslide victory. She was reelected in 2008, and to an unprecedented third term in 2012.
Early Life
Tymoshenko was born on November 27 1960 in Dnipropetrovsk, Soviet Ukraine. Her father, Vladimir Grigyan left the family when she was a year old, and Yulia was brought up by her mother alone. She took her mothers surname "Telegina".
She graduated high school in 1977. In 1979 she married Oleksandr Tymoshenko, a mid level Soviet official, and in 1980 their daughter Eugenia was born.
In 1978 Tymoshenko was enrolled in the Automatization and Telemechanics department of the Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute. In 1979 she transferred to the Economic Department of the Dnipropetrovsk State University. She graduated in 1984 as an engineer-economist. She spent two years working at the Dnipro Machine Building Plant as an engineer-economist.
Business Career
The economic and political reforms introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev came at a very good time for Tymoshenko. In 1986 she left the Plant and together with her husband set up a video rental company, one of the first in Russia. The company expanded rapidly and within two years the company had 30 stores throughout Russia. In 1991 she sold the company for $5 million.
She profited from the resource privatisation begun by Boris Yeltsin, and bought significant shares in Oil and Gas companies. In 1993 she became the majority shareholder in United Energy Systems, and two years later became Chairwoman herself. During her period as chairwoman (1995 - 1997) she was judged to be one of the wealthiest people in Russia and probably the wealthiest woman in the world worth well over $1billion.
Political Career
Unlike her husband Tymoshenko did not join the communist party, although she did support Gorbachev in the 1986 presidential election.
In 1996 she was successfully elected to the Duma at the head of her own Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, party list.
In March 2004 she announced she would run for President.
President of Russia
Personal Life
She met her husband Oleksander in 1978, and married him a year later. They have one Daughter, Eugenia.

6 Things You Should Know About Inflation
Trevor Preston and Colton VanVleck
1. Did you know? Inflation can do positive things for an economy and it can also do negative things for the economy. Inflation is mostly bad cause all that they see is how much money they are spending now then what they use to. The downside to inflation includes an increase in the opportunity cost of holding money, and it makes people more thoughtful with their money and they might not invest as much, or they will just save their money.

When it comes to PPE, you can't just comply with the regulations you think apply to your industry, for example, construction regulations. You must comply with all health and safety requirements.
The general safety regulations require the following when it comes to PPE
You must conduct an assessment to determine what personal protective clothing and equipment is required for your employees to work safely and in a healthy manner (General safety regulations (GSR 2).
The regulation doesn't specify the type of equipment you must issue. This is purely based on your assessment.
The Health & Safety Advisor says 'when read in conjunction with Construction Regulation 7, this assessment (for PPE) will form part of the overall risk assessment referred to in this regulation.'
In some cases, the use of personal protective clothing and equipment is the only way to protect employees, where it isn't feasible to eliminate or mitigate a risk you've identified in the risk assessment.
In other parts of the Act and regulations, specific types of personal protective clothing and equipment required are laid down.
PPE stipulated in the Environmental regulations explained…
An example of this is in the Environmental Regulations (ER2) 'Thermal requirements'.
This regulation specifies the equipment that must be issued and worn if the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius.
In fact, the regulation goes into great detail on this. It includes the following:
Other regulations where specific requirements for personal protective clothing and equipment are included are:
Now that you know what the general safety regulations require in terms of PPE, make sure you provide your employees with the right equipment to keep them safe.

The invisible lawmakers
By LEE H. HAMILTON
Want to know what's causing a lot of people in Washington to work long hours right now? Here's a hint: It's not immigration reform or gun control or, for that matter, any other legislation coming down the pike. Instead, it's a pair of 3-year-old laws.
The Affordable Care Act (known to most Americans as Obamacare) and the Wall Street reform act known as "Dodd-Frank" both became law in 2010. Most people consider these major pieces of legislation old news, but that's because their civics teachers misled them back in junior high school.
In the How-A-Bill-Becomes-A-Law version of Congress that many of us were taught, the story ends when the bill is signed by the President. It doesn't. In fact, the president's signature is more like a starter's pistol.
Because after a bill becomes law is when legislative language — which is often deliberately vague and imprecise, in order to wrangle as many votes as possible — gets interpreted and turned into regulatory language. In other words, Congress drafts a rough blueprint; only then does the federal government decide how the machinery will actually work.
And that's where money — lots of money — stands to be won or lost.
A few years ago, a group of academics studying tax disclosures related to a single 2004 piece of financial legislation found that firms lobbying for a particular provision made $220 for every $1 they spent on lobbying. Which may help explain why, as the Center for Responsive Government recently reported, the health care industry has spent more than $700 million on lobbying Congress and executive agencies since health care reform passed.
Indeed, the political fight that began with the drafting of legislation continues long after a bill is enacted into law — not for days or weeks or even months, but sometimes for years. Unlike the legislative process, which for all its faults is generally visible and accessible to the public, these battles tend to be invisible and inscrutable.
The first arena in which they take place is within the agency or agencies charged with drafting and enforcing the rules that give teeth to legislation. This process can be lengthy — according to one corporate law firm that has been tracking the rulemaking process for Dodd-Frank, only 38 percent of the rules required by the legislation had been finalized by the beginning of May this year.
Special interests trying to have an impact pursue a broad range of tactics, from directly lobbying regulators to getting friendly members of Congress to weaken the agency's appropriation, cut funding for regulatory enforcers, or even block presidential appointments to an agency they dislike. They might also take the opposite tack, lobbying to bulk up a rule and make it so complicated that very few people can understand it, or to add little-noticed — but highly profitable — exemptions. If that approach doesn't work, there are always the courts, which have final judgment over how to construe congressional language. Lawsuits of these types are intensely fought and can go on for years, sometime blocking or restricting implementation until they're settled.
And then, of course, there's Congress. Opponents of a law are rarely shy about re-legislating it even after it's been enacted. They can try to get it repealed, or to cut its funding, or to enact exemptions, or, as medical device makers, insurers and others are doing right now with the health-care law, to overturn pieces of it they especially dislike without taking on the entire thing.
Huge amounts of money are at stake in these fights, which can involve an army of sophisticated players: high-powered lobbyists, former regulators and members of Congress, and the federal officials and current members they're focused upon. As tough and sometimes mean-spirited as the reasonably transparent legislative process can get, these shadow battles, far out of the public eye, can be even more so.
Former Secretary of State George Shultz once famously said, "Nothing ever gets settled in this town," and he was right. That is why, as you follow the course of health reform or financial industry reform or any other high-stakes law, it pays to remember that it can take years before it's really possible to gauge the impact of legislation.
Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

The hosts seem lovely - they helped us with whatever we needed even though we didn't actually meet them. They sorted the code for the door for us when we couldn't get the app to work which was great. The apartment itself has a really nice bathroom. The bed is very comfy and it's nice to have your own space. It's in quite a very noisy neighborhood which I didn't realise, and there were a few people begging and looking for things in the trash just outside. But other than that, it felt quite secure and it was very good value for money. One thing the owner may want to know is that most of the plug sockets appear to be hanging out of the wall for some reason? Thanks for letting us stay though, we had a blast in Edmonton with our friends!Ellie2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
This place was cute and cozy. David was very accommodating and prompt to help with any issues. Nice place for 2 guests to relax for a night.Brenda2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Everything was great. If you're ever looking for a convenient place to stay in the area, don't pass this place up!Girard2016-12-18T00:00:00Z
Really nice and beautifully home!A good experience.思圆2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
This was a great fit for us. We had our two year old along and the park across the street was a hit and the trails in the river valley are right there. Very convenient location, close to everything we needed. David greeted us and help us settle in. We would stay here again.Christina2016-04-18T00:00:00Z
David was very welcoming - he made sure he was in touch prior to my arrival and, because he was on holiday during the time of my stay, ensured that his friend, Kiran, looked after me in his absence. The place was as described. It is in an old apartment building just off the main road. The place was nicely decorated and the furniture comfortable and clean. Another plus: the apartment is 3 km from the heart of downtown Edmonton.Rachel2015-08-15T00:00:00Z
We spent a short time at the apartment, but we thought it was very modern and nice. We were very comfortable here.Garrett2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
The location is amazing! Only a couple minutes to get to the Shaw Conference Centre where we were attending a concert. David and Maya were unable to meet us this time but david left us with great instructions on how to get in and operate everything. The place was tidy and inviting. The bed is even better than my own at home! I'm looking forward to staying here again in May for another concert!Priti2016-04-06T00:00:00Z

We arrive to Jasper quite late and found a quiet, clean, cozy basement with matching color sheets & thoughtful quotes in frames, almost like a showroom in Ikea. Although we didn't meet Gabriele, we did meet her husband who was very nice. Highly recommend if you want to be a bit out of the touristy area (10 min walk max).Christine2016-09-07T00:00:00Z
We made short notice plans for a stay in Jasper Gabriella responded timely and had us all set up and ready to go quickly! The space is adequate for anyone's needs and the beds are fantastic. It's a great place to call home base if you're exploring Jasper National Park. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to visit again.Larissa2017-01-23T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay in Iris and Andrew's appartment. They were very easy to communicate with and checked in on us via text on the second day. The apartment is new and one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. We loved that there was a parking spot available. I would highly recommend this listing.Direse2016-05-15T00:00:00Z
Our stay in Edmonton at Iris and Andrew's condo was amazing. As soon as you walk into the condo you notice how bright, clean, and inviting it is. It was exactly as the listing advertised and Andrew and Iris were such a treat to communicate with. As a first time Airbnb user, I appreciated their fantastic communication and just general helpfulness. They truly are great hosts leaving us with everything we needed for our stay and even providing us with a list of some of their favorite places to visit. Absolutely nothing but great things to say about Iris and Andrew as well as a the condo. We are already talking about staying there again!Katie2016-06-28T00:00:00Z
Iris met us and made sure we had access to our new home at the time we planned. The apt is very clean and cozy with comfortable beds, well stocked with the necessities and lots of hot water for showers too. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient with shopping so close. We had out trailer and parked on the street with no problems. Thanks for the use of your home Iris and Andrew.Laurel2015-11-25T00:00:00Z
Absolutely wonderful stay! Very clean and bright. Lots of amenities nearby. Andrew & Iris were very kind and checked in on our second day to see if we needed anything. Condo was very well stocked with everything that we needed. Will definitely stay again!Lindsay2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

Iris and Andrew met us at the condo upon check-in, they are so kind and did all they could to make sure we had an amazing stay. The place was so clean and comfortable, and they had thought of and stocked everything that we could have possibly needed. Both were easy to contact and extremely responsive to our questions! I would DEFINITELY recommend staying here - I was in town on a work trip and it was the perfect place to call home while in Edmonton!Kelsi2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

Karen and her family made us feel welcome and comfortable. We rented Karen's beautiful home for a weekend to host our engagement party. We were able to host our family from out of town within the space, and there was plenty of room for mingling, relaxing and space for the kids to be entertained. We received wonderful feedback from our family and friends on what a lovely space this was, and made our celebration of this next chapter of our lives oh-so-special. The only downside was the weather in March - the pool looks amazing! Hopefully my fiance and I made a good impression and we can rent again in the summer ;) Looking forward to our summer rental already! Thanks Karen!Sherie2016-03-20T00:00:00Z
A beautiful home with a very professional and welcoming host! You feel the quiet of country, the coziness yet modern feel of the home, cleanliness, and all equipped to stay in or go out for the weekend. We were a bunch of sisters and childhood friends who needed a place to gather, and this was a great gift to us. It is nice that it is just off of Highway 16, the wifi is good, and even Pizza 73 delivers. Karen had all the information we needed on a framed area at the entrance of the house, very helpful. She was also available for quick communication and to greet us before we left. She had the fridge empty so we could bring our own food, the home theater has 9 large lazy-boys and room for more to gather, and the places to gather were very nice. I would recommend the place!Diane2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
Karen and Gord (and Erin) were amazing hosts. We felt welcomed and "at home". This is a beautiful property with endless entertainment space, better than we expected. There was lots of space for the entire family and we had the best time. Thank so much,Carol2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing stay. Karen was a great host who accommodated our large group that was staying for a stagette. The house is stunning, the movie room was great for the rainy days, and the pool/yard was so great. The heated pool was also wonderful! Thanks for letting us stay at your place for an unforgettable weekend!!!Sarah2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

The apartment is as described, very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. It's also quite quiet, although it is very centrally located. Access to parking is a necessity as street parking would be very difficult. Megan made sure to meet me when I arrived and provided keys and information. A very good airbnb experience, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.Frank2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
Megan and her husband Shayne met us as soon as we arrived at the building to give us keys to the apartment and the parking garage. They were very friendly and personable, and let us know that we could contact them at any point, should we need anything. The apartment was really nice, exactly as pictured. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had a lot of extras in it, and the living room was spacious. We enjoyed our stay a lot, and the price was great as well. It is in close proximity to the Legislature building and a lot of nice walking paths in the river valley. I definitely recommend staying at this apartment.Laura2016-03-13T00:00:00Z
I loved my stay. The condo was perfect and accommodating, plus the bed was so cozy. The location is perfect and close to everything. Check-in and check-out was flexible which I also loved. Megan was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. I visited from another province and Megan provided me with a link of various things to do during my visit. This will definitely be my first choice if I visit Edmonton again!Rochelle2015-12-06T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing two days in Edmonton. Stephen and Branden made our stay really relaxed and gave great advice for restaurants and places to visit. (Everything is within walking distance) Their place was lovely and we were able to make ourselves at home. They provided everything we needed and would highly recommend them, if you are planning to stay in Edmonton.Kate 2015-07-15T00:00:00Z
Staying with Stephen and Branden I had a nice time in Edmonton staying with Stephan and Branden. We had nice talks and they will tell you everything you need to know about Edmonton and what you can do. If I am in Edmonton again I will stay with them because they were very kind and friendly. The room is comfortable and very clean and they have everything you need. Their home is very close to downtown and you have a bus leaving just around the corner that goes to West Edmonton Mall and right to downtown. The Bus to the Greyhound bus depot stops there too. I highly recommend staying here! RobinRobin2015-11-20T00:00:00Z
Had the pleasure of staying at Stephen and Branden's apartment last week on route across Canada. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how considerate Stephen and Branden were as hosts, often asking if anything was needed. The room was comfy and I noted the attention to detail and personal touch that was added to the decor of the apartment in general. We had several good conversations and shared a bottle of wine on the final night. Kitty is the most affectionate cat in the world and gives hugs!! I absolutely loved their cat and have never met one like him. Had a very nice and enjoyable stay.Tiffany2015-03-05T00:00:00Z
Stephen and Branden are incredible hosts. They are welcoming, laid back, generous and fun! The condo is beautiful, the location is awesome, and Kitty is very loving :D. These guys have thought of everything - they have definitely earned the SuperHost status!Carmen2015-09-07T00:00:00Z
When staying here i recognised my previous reviews where over-exxagerated. Stephen and Brandon really make the efforts to make you feel comfortabel and help to get the most out of your visit no matter the purpose of it. They are generally interested professional and could be asking much more $ for the room. Even after i left i recieved a nice thank you message. Excellent!Tomas2015-05-31T00:00:00Z
It was our first time using Airbnb and it was great. Stephen and Branden were great hosts and helped us out loads even before we arrived through the messanger on the app. The place was very clean and they were very accommodating. The bed was sheets was comfortable and of very high quality, plus the netflix in the room was excellent too as we were very jet lagged and spent most of our time relaxing with Netflix. Oh and Kitty was great, such a good hugger and super friendly. I would definitely recommend this place on all levels, it's location, hosts, cleanliness and price. I couldn't find a fault. Everything was great. Thanks for the stay guys. :)Shannon2015-04-28T00:00:00Z
They were very gracious in ensuring I was taken care of. And they made me a homemade loaf of bread. How sweet. The best part of my stay was their cat!!! So friendly and he knows how to hug. Thank you. CarlaCarla2015-04-22T00:00:00Z
I stayed with Stephen and Brandon for a three night stay and it was a great experience. I felt welcomed right away and they went out of their way to make me feel at home throughout my stay. They also had a supply of hygiene items that came in handy. The environment was very clean with a very friendly cat to boot. I was within walking distance to all the shops that I needed during my stay here was which very helpful. The hosts offered information when I asked about local attractions and resources which was great given I am new to the city. Overall great experience and if I needed to stay in the area again I would not hesitate to contact them.Andrew2015-05-01T00:00:00Z

First off the pictures are totally accurate. Visiting Simon's listing felt like meeting an old friend. He thought of everything. The condo is walking distance to downtown and river bank. Parking was simple and valued by us. The deck was appreciated on our trip with the warm evenings. We would stay here again in a heart beat.Dennis2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
Simon-Marc was a lovely host, he made us feel welcomed. Took the time to sit down with us to explain everything. The place was beautiful and clean, exactly as shown in the pictures. The location was great, right in the city center. The only downside I could say was that there was no air conditioning, so on hot days it can get pretty warm. We had to put a fan at the end of the bed to be able to sleep at night. Other than that, everything was perfect. Had a nice stay, would recommend.Pierre2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Simon was an AMAZING host. He was very thorough about everything offered in the condo and around the area. His home is BEAUTIFUL and you didn't even feel like you were at a home away from a home. It has EVERYTHING you could have imagined and more. The photos are exactly what you get and it's super convenient to get anywhere in the downtown Edmonton area from this condo. Simon as an extremely tech savy and he's got way more cool gadgets and and fun stuff than I even have at home. All in all, it was a great experience and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Edmonton! :)Robyn2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Simon was a wonderful host - was very easy to keep in touch with via text and gave wonderful directions and ideas for things to do in the area. The condo was wonderfully set up and met all of our needs - we only wish that we'd had more time to take more advantage of it.Alicia2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
I loved my stay at Simon-Marc's condo. It's bright, clean, beautifully decorated and most of all; has the BEST host you can possibly ask for. Simon's attention to detail knows no bounds. From the little bowl of M&M's left on the coffee table, to the fresh croissants & juice in the fridge; everything was on point. He even sent me a text after my first night to make sure I was comfortable. If I ever have business in Edmonton again I will be back! Highly recommend.anik2016-04-15T00:00:00Z

Transportation is easy here, as there is public transit in the basement of the building--or if one should prefer, a car rental company is located about a 5 minute walk away. Kathy was an understanding hostess and the remote check in system proved very convenient. Would highly recommend.Sydney2015-12-27T00:00:00Z
The place was cozy and clean, just like in the pictures. It had all we needed. The location was also very good, and we really liked the easy access to public transport.Aapo2017-05-12T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time in Edmonton. The apartment is as described - clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is perfect with easy transportation so we were able to travel around Edmonton during our 5 days stay. There are many great restaurants within walking distance, we definitely recommend Tres Carnales and DeDutch. Kathy is a great host and was very helpful in answering all of our questions within a few minutes. The check in-check out process is also very convenient. We will happily recommend this apartment to everyone who wish to visit Edmonton.Elísabet2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

Great location and excellent service from Natasha.April2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
This apartment was sparkling clean, had all the necessities and Natasha was the perfect host. There is a large grocery store 5 mins away by car, and it is quick to get in to the centre of Edmonton.Rhiannon2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
My experience here was awesome, I loved the place it had everything you could think of needing. Would love to stay again and well recommend to anyone looking for a stay in the Edmonton area. Thanks a lotRyan 2016-04-24T00:00:00Z
Natasha's place was a great find for us and she is a great host. It was our first time staying in an air b&b and couldn't of asked for a better place. The one bedroom condo is as shown in the pictures, making it a great stay!!Dominik2017-02-23T00:00:00Z
This was a terrific rental property and Natasha was most accommodating. She really made us feel at home and provided us with everything we needed. Of note was how quick she was to provide us with extra blankets and a heater when we experienced an unusual cold snap during one day of our stay. We would definitely rent this property again. Thanx NatashaMike2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
Very nice condo just outside of downtown. Beautifully appointed and very close to a plethora of ethnic eateries and a wonderful Italian market. Great stayBrian 2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
Within walking distance of many of the Edmonton attractions the Broadway Themed Apartment we rented from Natasha was exactly as described. Clean, with everything we needed and within proximity of some great public spaces: City Hall, Churchill Square, Downtown, Legislative grounds, Edmonton Welcome centre (tourist office), River valley and more.Stephanie2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

Amazing place, would stay here againSabah2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
If you're looking for a clean quiet place to stay in downtown Fort McMurray I would recommend staying here. It's close to restaurants and grocery. very comfortable room in nice building. David was very helpful, from lending me bug spray, always having cold bottled water in the fridge for me. David is an awesome host, he has some amazing stories! Thanks DavidAllan2013-08-24T00:00:00Z
The place was excellent. Stayed three nights and everything was there that we needed. Owner is Very easy to deal with. Place was very clean. Felt at home and we'd defiantly stay again.Roger2013-10-01T00:00:00Z
If your looking for a place to stay in fort mcmurray, i'll definitely recommend his place. A lot cheaper than staying at a hotel and he prepared the place with attention to detail just like how you'll experience it in a hotel. Plus there is a functioning kitchen. When i sent him a question, he replied promptly. The place is situated almost behind merit hotel which cost almost 3x as much as what he charge.Aldridge2014-02-15T00:00:00Z
David is an Angel and his place is paradise ! This full equiped condo is Located in the Middle of Downtown Fort Mcmurray. Close to Keyano college, gym, corner store, shoppers, Banks, groceries etc. I will never go in fort mcmurrray hotel anymore now that I know this place!Edline2016-03-05T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful stay we had in Jasper at the Rosehip Suite. The suite is roomy and immaculate! Adriane and Sean have done a terrific job on this place! I did get to meet Adriane and she shared some history about their place as well as some good info about area sites. The Oso Negro coffee is superb! And I enjoyed a cup of the Earl Grey tea as well. They have provided everything needed for a wonderful stay. I will stay there again if ever in Jasper and highly recommend to others headed in that direction. Thank you Adriane and Sean for blessing us with your beautiful place!Pam2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
This is a lovely little unit in the perfect spot. It's a basement but it's so warm and bright, you'd never know it. The decor is clean, and the place is literally clean as well. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, without ever intruding on the privacy of the guests. You can walk into the centre of town in minutes from this quiet side street across from a park. The only note of caution I'd offer is that the soundproofing isn't perfect, and you can hear people moving around on the main floor (and I imagine they can hear you!).Nadine2015-12-06T00:00:00Z
This place was amazing. Beautiful cozy space even better then advertised. Adriane stopped by and said and very nice and friendly. This was my second experience with Airbnb and wasn't sure what to expect as the first one was a bit of a letdown but this far exceeded expectations. The house is a short walk from downtown and in a great quiet area of town. If you are in Jasper for any reason this is the place to stay without question.Kevin2016-04-06T00:00:00Z
We had a great experience at the Rosehip Suite. It is excellently furnished and very homey. Adriane and Sean have the perfect balance of being very warm and welcoming but also respecting your privacy. We especially loved the arrays of loose leaf teas provided to welcome us into their space. The location couldn't be more convenient with an easy walk to town. We would definitely love to stay again.Mark2015-10-24T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time at the Rosehip guest house. Our hosts were welcoming but not in the way at all - Adriane came to make suggestions on where to hike - there were plenty of maps and other useful brochures . The place was spotless and had all we needed in terms of extra sheets, kitchenware, plenty of dishes, complementary teas and coffee, dish soap, etc. The bathroom was clean, the shower is spacious. The beds and linen were very comfortable. Directions were clear and so the place was easy to find. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Jasper, in the heart of the Rockies.Katah2015-04-03T00:00:00Z
This is a nice and clean apartment, a bit cosy for 4 people but ideal for 2 people. I have seen Adrian once, partly my fault as we have been out too often and she seems nice and recommended a good restaurant for us to have lunch at. This house is within minutes from the main shopping street and restaurants so for people without a car, I highly recommend this place. Not ideal for light sleepers as the walls are thin but not a problem for me.catherine2014-09-09T00:00:00Z
I stayed for five days in the Rosehip and it was a treat ! What a lovely place to stay and feel at home. Beautifully decorated, perfect atmosphere and a personal touch in everything. Everything you need is there and despite the fact there is no top stove oven, they really made an effort to give you the possibility to prepare yourself a meal. Adriana is a perfect host, giving good suggestions for hikes and food. The Rosehip is in the lower level of the house so there is not so much direct daylight, but the really perfect lighting in the appartment makes you forget this. I would definitly come back here! If they have availability, because I expect this place to become incredibly popular.Lot2014-10-18T00:00:00Z

Judy was an absolutely lovely host. Her flat was very comfortable and well equipped. The front garden was full of glorious flowers. Prettiest house on the street! Would really recommend Judy's home away from home. It was quiet and private and we could come and go so easily. Would stay here again.Daniel2014-08-20T00:00:00Z
Thank you Judy for a super warm welcome to your suite and I look forward to enjoying your space again. The pictures on website accurately reflect this suite. The large windows add brightness. Thank you for offering your space clean and maintained. Finding crisp clean bedding and comfortable mattress so very appreciated. AudreyAudrey2015-01-31T00:00:00Z
Reviews are good things... And the airbnb system asks for a review after each reservation is completed. But I want to keep this place for myself so that whenever I wish to return it is always there for me :) However that is selfish of me since these hosts really need to be praised and thanked for offering a comfortable convenient home away from home and we look forward to our next return. Audrey & Murray Thankyou Judy and Brent.Audrey2015-03-03T00:00:00Z

Kitchen well stocked with lots of pots, utensils, dishes and the like. Appreciated the bowl of fruit, coffee creamer in fridge. Great communication-prompt responses to any inquiry! Would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.Sandra2016-01-26T00:00:00Z
"Home Away From Home" is true to its title! It's a cozy, well-equipped suite, and Brent & Judy are a pleasure to deal with! This place is located in the best part of Saskatoon on a tree-lined street within walking distance to river trails, the university, and downtown.

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thanks for posting
Are any other warning lights on the dash staying on? Check the brake fluid, be sure it's at the max mark, make sure the E brake is all the way off and check the brake lights for proper operation. If nothing turns up there we'll have to do a diagnostic check using a jumper wire in the check connector to check for trouble codes.
I assume the check engine light is not on. Under the hood is a diagnostic check connector, open the cover and locate the terminals Tc and E1, put a short jumper wire between these two, turn the key on, turn the cruise control switch on, the cruise control light should start flashing, if there is a trouble code the light will blink a pattern, for example a code 12 would be one blink and then two and so on, let me know how this goes

How to create a prepopulate URL?Asked by Crystal Warner on March 19, 2017 at 02:37 PM
If I'm sending a comprehensive client profile form for someone to fill out, is it possible for me to pre-populate some of the fields that I already have information for to save them time from having to fill it out themselves?
JotForm Support
Hello Crystal,
You can send them the prepopulated form by using our guide for making Custom URLs: https://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-Fields-to-Your-JotForm-via-URL-Parameters
Also, you can use this tool http://prepopulate.jotform.io/ that will make the URL with information you define and then you can send that URL to your users.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you!

Steak Mirabeau - Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Anchovy Butter. Page 426-427 of Le Cordon Bleu at Home .
We have now finished Class 14, our soup section of Whisk Wednesdays, and are on to Class 15. Les beurres composé, beurre emulsifiée, les marinades (Compound butters, emulsified butters, and marinades).
Hubby was all too happy to see this steak dish on the menu. Grilled steak with anchovy butter, roasted tomatoes and onion rings? I do believe this is the way to a man's heart and if I didn't have his already, this would have sealed the deal.
I generally don't like really fishy fish but I love anchovies. Stephanie March, wife of Bobby Flay, said that anchovies are the bacon of the seafood world and I have to agree. Who doesn't love bacon?
The original recipe serves six so I pared it down for the two of us.
I had plenty of small tomatoes from my garden so I used some of those. Salt and peppered them, dotted them with butter and roasted them in the toaster oven.
For the compound butter I just mashed anchovies with soft butter and parsley and rechilled in a log form for easy slicing.
The onion rings are soaked in milk, drained and dried and tossed in seasoned flour and deep fried. Easier than batter frying and gives a nice thin, crisp ring like a fritte.
Get your favourite grill master to grill up the steaks and lay the finished product on a bed of watercress, laying strips of anchovies across it. Garnish the plate with the tomatoes and onion rings and lay a disk of anchovy butter on the steak.
For an extra little punch, an anchovy wrapped olive is added, I put mine on the tomatoes. I didn't realize until the photos were done that the olive sank down a bit into the tomato - so it looks a little funny, but still tastes good.
Et voila, impressive meal for fairly painless preparation.
Open up a nice dark red and serve by candlelight.
Whisk Wednesdays is an at home culinary learning community following Le Cordon Bleu at Home and organized by Whisk: a food blog. Check out Whisk for instructions on the dish, the blogroll and to find out how you can play along.

The other day I went out with this guy I like, but I'm not sure what to think. We went to go see a movie and went out into town for a while after. I'm not sure what to think cause he didn't make a move the whole night or kiss me good bye? I tried to be open but now I'm just confused! he told me he liked me and told one of my friends he did but he is NOT showing me he want to be with me? I have been cutting him some slack because I know this was his first date and he is shy and has never really been or talked to girls, I don't know if he actually likes me or just wants to be friends? TO add I was the one who set up the date :/
Most Helpful Guy
He really does like you.
No man will go to a movie with a girl alone without at least interested in her.
He's just shy.
He'll soon be all over you if he gets to spend more time with you.10|10|0
