Business Internet Service in Halethorpe, MD
Call (833) 258-4111
In today's world, the internet is a vital part of a business's success. If one wants to see a business grow and thrive, it must have an online presence. From websites and online stores to easy customer support, the internet is a platform for connecting with those who want to make a purchase. Even in situations where a business is not using the internet to actively reach out to potential customers, it is still an important tool in communication between employees and transferring information. If you own a business in Halethorpe, MD, then having a good internet connect is a must. Having the internet makes it possible for you to advertise, draw potential customers to your website, gain feedback, and maintain a relationship with those who have used your products in the past. You can use MyRatePlan to help you discover the Halethorpe, MD business internet service provider who will best meet your specific business needs.
ISP Business Types in Halethorpe, MD
The internet has changed a lot over the past few decades, and continue to grow every year. To manage a thriving business, it is important to be able to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Although technology comes in many limits and options, it's important to evaluate each and every one to determine which is best. The most common types of these options to examine are cable, fiber optic, DSL, fixed wireless, T1, and satellite.
Luckily for most businesses in Halethorpe, MD, business ISPs provide much more than just internet. Businesses can choose packages that link to different services and offerings. Most packages that businesses commonly purchase combine internet, phone service, email, and web hosting into one. By applying these packages to a business entirely it helps manage everyday workloads as well as keeping the cost relatively small. After all, you only have to hire one ISP company rather than a payload of employees to help manage small internet related services. Especially since ISPs tend to be much more experienced and can handle more work than the average worker.
Another aspect of an ISP to research is its consultative services. This service will help manage a business's needs and help improve the overall efficiency. This can include anything from upgrading to new and improved technology to the amount of bandwidth it requires. Not to mention, a business ISP can help develop remote management which can be extremely helpful to a company.
What Factors a Business Should Consider with Business Internet Service in Halethorpe, MD
When it comes to business internet service in Halethorpe, MD, speed is one of the most important factors a business should look at. The chosen service plan needs to be fast enough to handle the amount of traffic and devices the business has at peak hours, and be able to accommodate the business's growth in the future. This is one area where it's a bad decision to choose a slower plan as a cost-saving measure. While it saves a business on its monthly fee, the slower upload and download speeds will be frustrating, create an unprofessional image and reduce productivity.
Halethorpe, MD businesses should also make sure to ask the ISP if it has bandwidth caps or throttles data, and if so, what factors lead to limitations. This information should also be available in the fine print of the service contract.
One red flag when it comes to ISPs is a lack of security protection, as a reputable ISP will have protections available against malware, spyware, viruses and spam. The business should get details about how much protection the ISP provides and whether or not that protection will also apply to any mobile devices on the business's network. Backup options are another key consideration, to ensure downtime after a system crash is kept to a minimum. If a business has its backup at the office, it should seriously consider switching over to a more versatile cloud-based backup.
Finding the Right Business Internet Plan in Halethorpe, MD
ISPs always provide support, but if a business needs the internet to stay operational, then it will need more than the standard level of support. That's where a Service Level Agreement comes into play. This type of agreement guarantees the business a certain amount of uninterrupted uptime. If service goes down for longer than a set period, the ISP will offer a remedy, which is typically a credit on the bill.
Support availability is also a crucial factor in choosing a business ISP in Halethorpe, MD. Businesses should see if ISPs have their own phone support lines specifically for business customers, and how effective the tech support on these phone lines are at resolving service problems.
It's always good to see what's out there. Businesses can do this with internet service by comparing plans using MyRatePlan. Finding plans in a specific area is as easy as entering a ZIP code. Maybe there's a plan out there offering higher speeds at a lower price.
The Keys to Business Internet Service in Halethorpe, MD
Not every area has a plethora of different business internet plan options available. In fact, the choices in some areas could be limited to a couple plans. Regardless of the number of options available, it's still vital that Halethorpe, MD businesses perform careful analysis so they get the best plan for their hard-earned money. They also want to make sure that the ISP they choose is ready to adapt in the future. The internet is constantly evolving, which means that ISPs must also evolve with the times.
Here's an example of how the internet is likely to change in the future - IPv6. This is an internet protocol that offers an unlimited amount of IP addresses, and because of that, it will soon replace IPv4. Considering more and more devices are able to connect to the internet, IPv6 is going to have a huge impact and make it much simpler to configure the internet. This leads to a lower cost for businesses to connect their devices to the internet. This is one issue of many that businesses must consider in their search for the right internet service plan.

Still surfacing after that truly wonderful #ROHTristan last night... And can't think of enough superlatives for Stemme's transcendent Isolde
— Tom Oxenham (@tomoxenham) December 6, 2014
Totally awesome @TheRoyalOpera revival of their production of #ROHTristan tonight. Just superb.
— Paul Loftus (@loftuspaul) December 6, 2014
Ok, it's been almost an hour since #ROHTristan finished. I can finally sort of think again. But please nobody talk to me yet.
— hippoes (@hippoes) December 5, 2014
There really are no suitable superlatives to describe Nina Stemme's Isolde in #ROHTristan tonight. Something to treasure.
— Phillip Wood (@Phillip_Wood) December 5, 2014
A shaky start that progressively steadied to let the beauty of Wagner's music shine through. Isolde and Brangäne in top form #ROHTristan

Spoke too soon. Act III of #ROHTristan genuinely stunning. What a liebestod from Nina Stemme. Transcendent.

Nicest thing about tonight's #ROHTristan is that my son is with me and loving it. Thankfully, no one ever told him opera wasn't for him.

National leader Bill English now says he supports plans to increase paid parental leave to 26 weeks.
While in Government in 2016, National used a financial veto against Labour's bill to extend leave by this amount, calling it "a significant extra, unbudgeted, cost".
- Jacinda Ardern commits to extending paid parental leave
- Govt 'out of touch' vetoing parental leave Bill – Labour
- National promises to extend parental leave to 22 weeks
However new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Government will increase paid parental leave to 22 weeks in 2018, rising to 26 weeks from 2020 - and Mr English says he now supports this.
"We'll support it, we campaigned to extend it just in the recent election campaign," he told the AM Show on Tuesday.
"I think going to 26 weeks is logical, we've just got to see how all this and a whole lot of other promises are adding up. We'll find that out over the next few months. But it's good for mothers and babies."
The extension to PPL was promised as part of Labour's 100-day plan, and a Paid Parental Leave bill will be introduced to Parliament on Wednesday and is expected to pass with the support of NZ First and the Greens.
Ms Ardern indicated the bill may skip the select committee process, passing under urgency, because it has already been through select commitee.
"It would not be a good use of Parliament's time to repeat that process to the same degree," Ms Ardern said.
National ran on extending paid parental leave from 18 to 22 weeks if re-elected to government, although Mr English had previously said he believed the Government's work in previous Budgets to increase the limit from 14 weeks to 18 weeks was about right.
Mr English told the AM Show he hoped the new Government would allow both parents of a child to take time off work together.
"It will work, I just hope they'll keep the piece that allows the father and the mother to take paid parental leave at the same time," Mr English says.
"We proposed that during the campaign I think that would help families as well."

Colm O'Gorman : biography
Colm O'Gorman (born 1 July 1966) is an Irishman from County Wexford, founder of One in Four, former senator, and current executive director of Amnesty International in Ireland. He is a survivor of clerical sexual abuse, and first came to public attention by speaking out against the perpetrators.
O'Gorman subsequently founded One in Four, an Irish charity which supports men and women who have been sexually abused and/or suffered sexual violence. He is also a former director of that organisation.
O'Gorman was a Senator in 2007, representing the Progressive Democrats, a centre-right Irish political party. He is currently executive director of Amnesty International in Ireland.
Child sexual abuse and the Roman Catholic Church
As an adolescent in County Wexford — between the age of 15 and 18 — O'Gorman was sexually abused by Friar Seán Fortune. The abuse occurred between 1981 and 1983. He became the first of Fortune's many victims to come forward and report the assaults to the Irish police. In 1998, he sued the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ferns and the Dublin Papal Nuncio, who later claimed diplomatic immunity. His case against the Catholic Diocese of Ferns was settled in 2003 with an admission of negligence and the payment of damages — in April 2003, O'Gorman was awarded €300,000 damages. O'Gorman documented his lawsuit in the BBC documentary Suing the Pope.
He successfully campaigned to set up the Ferns Inquiry,http://www.oneinfour.org/uploads/ferns.pdf. the first Irish state inquiry into clerical sexual abuse. He founded the charity One in Four in London in 1999 and established its sister organisation in Ireland in 2002. He is a well-known figure in Irish media as an advocate of child sexual abuse victims and a commentator and campaigner on sexual violence. He was named one of the ESB/Rehab People of the Year and received a TV3/Daily Star "Best of Irish" award in 2002, one of the Sunday Independent/Irish Nationwide People of the Year in 2003 and in the same year he was also awarded the James Larkin Justice Award by the Labour Party for his contribution to social justice in Ireland.
In 2006 O'Gorman filmed Sex Crimes and the Vatican for the BBC Panorama documentary series, which claimed that the Vatican has used Crimen sollicitationis secret document to silence allegations of sexual abuse by priests and also claimed Crimen sollicitationis was enforced for 20 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he became pope Benedict XVI.
Early and private life
Colm O'Gorman was born in County Wexford. His father was Seán O'Gorman, of Adamstown, County Wexford – a farmer, builder and local Fianna Fáil politician. Seán O'Gorman was a member of Wexford County Council, and later moved with his family to live in Wexford town. He twice stood unsuccessfully as a Fianna Fáil candidate in general elections: in 1969 and 1973.
In 2002, Colm O'Gorman settled near Gorey, Co. Wexford. He is raising two children with his husband, of whom they have joint legal guardianship. When this was revealed it generated debate on fosterships in the Irish media.
Political career
In April 2006, he announced that he would stand for the Progressive Democrats, a market liberal political party, in the 2007 general election in his native county of Wexford. On 3 May 2007, he was appointed to the Senate by the Taoiseach to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Kate Walsh.
He was not elected in the 2007 general election in Wexford polling three percent of the vote, losing his deposit.
He was not re-appointed to the 23rd Seanad in July 2007.

VIDEO | How new congestion-cutting Plymouth road will look
A new fly-through video of the hotly-anticipated, congestion-killing Forder Valley Link Road has been released.
The video, which you can watch above, offers drivers a glimpse of the future and shows in detail how major changes will benefit the city's congested road network.
Set to begin next year and take two years to complete, the £33m Forder Valley Link Road and £7.9m Forder Valley roundabout improvements will see major changes to the city's transport network in the Forder Valley and Derriford area.
The link road is a proposed one-kilometer stretch linking William Prance Road in Derriford and the junction of Forder Valley Road and Novorossiysk Road.
The new road will aim to reduce delays between the A38 and Derriford by providing a new route from the east to the north of the city, avoiding the busy A38 Manadon junction and the A386 Tavistock Road.
A spokesman for Plymouth City Council said: "The scheme will improve accessibility for vehicles, buses, cyclists and pedestrians to key destinations such as Derriford Hospital, the University of St. Mark and St. John and the Plymouth Science Park."
The £33.5 million scheme has secured approval in principle with a £22.5 million contribution from the Department for Transport (DfT) subject to a final business case, which was due to be submitted last month.
Key points
Forder Valley Link Road:
- New road set to relieve congestion at Manadon and provide a second route to Derriford
- Alternative route hoped to provide more reliability on the A386 Tavistock Road when incidents occur
- More direct route for buses from the east of the city to Derriford
- Enlarged and relocated junction at the Forder Valley Road and Novorossiysk Road intersection will relieve congestion
- Widening on Novorossiysk Road to remove the existing merge south of the Bampton Road junction (near the Asda junction) to improve traffic flow
- New walking and cycling facilities throughout the scheme to encourage sustainable travel
- Recreational land for local residents to enjoy leisure opportunities
- Opportunities to enhance natural habitats by extending the local nature reserve
- Improvements to protect streams from pollution to encourage aquatic species
Forder Valley Roundabout:
- Extension of the existing short merge from Forder Valley Roundabout heading northbound onto Forder Valley Road to improve traffic flow
- Potential widening at the southbound approach to Forder Valley Roundabout and on the roundabout itself to increase the number of traffic lanes and improve traffic flow
- Improved pedestrian crossing facilities and on-road cycle facilities to encourage sustainable travel
The plan comes as the north of Plymouth prepares to grow significantly over the next 15 years.
The Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan has identified this area for 4,300 new homes and a new district centre providing new shops, community and leisure and health facilities.
The council's preferred option includes a new link road, supported by a new bridge over Bircham Valley, with an enlarged signalised junction connecting it to the Forder Valley Road and Novorossiysk Road junction.
The alternative route to Derriford will aim to relieve congestion at Manadon, cut delays on the A386 Tavistock Road when incidents occur and offer more direct routes and improved journey times for buses from the east to the north of the city.
The relocated and enlarged junction as well as widening on Novorossiysk Road, to remove the existing merge south of the Miller Way (Asda supermarket) junction, will also aim to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
The council say the scheme will also offer new walking and cycling facilities, including an on-road cycle lane northbound on the uphill of the new link road, as well as a shared off-road facility to accommodate different types of cyclists travelling at different speeds due to the gradient of the hill.
Segregated facilities will also be provided on the southbound section to provide greater separation between pedestrians and faster moving downhill cyclists.
Other facilities will also be provided to link into all other approaches to the junction.
The scheme design also includes recreational land for local residents, land to extend the local nature reserve and links from the new road to paths within the planned Derriford Community Park.

Ron Newman Cup Championship Weekend Awarded to Chicago Mustangs
"This is a great opportunity for the Chicago Mustangs franchise," said Mustangs owner Armando Gamboa. "The PASL has entrusted us with their marquee event and we have a chance to showcase our team and our league on a big stage."
The host team receives a bye into the Newman Cup Semifinals March 15, which the Mustangs merit by possessing the league's best record. The top three teams from each division, aside from the host, will qualify for the playoffs. With the Mustangs hosting, the Eastern Division will have four teams in the 10-team field. The third seed in each division will open the playoffs at the number two seed and the winner of that game will play at the number one seed. The three divisional playoff winners and Chicago will make up the final four lineup, with both league semifinals games being played on March 15 and the Newman Cup Championship slated for March 16.
The Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL-Premier, official developmental league of the PASL) Winter Nationals will also be held in Chicago the same weekend.

|Another blog from some guy who was at LdapCON

FYI http://kkalev.wordpress.com/ Some excerpts : "Java based LDAP servers got a lot of attention in this conference. Alex Karasulu described Apache view on LDAP roadmap as well as Apache Directory. They envision Directory Services resembling RDBMS offering Triggers, Stored Procedures and views (though the later could be implemented with a strong proxying interface like the one available in OpenLDAP). Ersin Er gave a more detailed presentation on the actual implementation of Stored Procedures in Apache DS. The idea is to offer an API and the ability to write Java code to implement operations while triggers will actually have a stored procedure as the scheduled action. Personally, i feel a little nervous about having code executed inside the server context. Although triggers might be a nice (and less heavy) alternative to things like persistent searches." and "I wasn't able to attend the presentation on Apache Directory Studio but i downloaded it later and played with it. Very impressive and long awaited set of tools. It includes a powerful directory browser, an entry/schema editor as well as some Apache Directory specific tools for ACI and configuration editing." -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com

Money—where to get it, how best to spend it, where to find more—is a topic very much on people's minds, whether their needs are personal or strictly business. Utilities face those same questions, but unlike individuals and other organizations, they can ask Energy Services for guidance. A large part of our service is networking with state and federal agencies, trade associations and nonprofits to track down funding opportunities Western customers can use to launch programs or upgrade facilities.
Makeover time
Take the city of White, S.D., for example, and its 40-year-old community center. "We would like to get rid of the paneling, remodel the kitchen and reconfigure the office space," explained Finance Officer Melanie Haber.
She added that the fluorescent lighting throughout the building is poor quality, especially in the big hall where most events are held. Replacing the five furnaces heating the multi-use facility with one central system and zoned controls could help to reduce operating costs and improve comfort. In short, "It needs a complete update, inside and out," Haber admitted.
Only the beginning
The community center project is still in the planning stages, so Haber has only done preliminary research into funding sources. "We can't apply for a grant until we have specifics about what we want to do to the building and what that is likely to cost," she said.
Heartland Consumers Power District, the city's wholesale cooperative, offers incentives for commercial lighting upgrades, heating and cooling system retrofits and efficient appliances. The systems that would be installed in the community center would be subject to Heartland's as-yet-unpublished 2014 rebate menu, however.
The South Dakota Office of Economic Development might also be a source of low-interest loans for the project, Haber noted. "We have reached out to the regional office, but again, we don't know what programs the project might be eligible for until we have more details," she said.
No stone unturned
In addition to investigating loan and rebate programs, Haber also contacted Marsha Thomas, Western's Upper Great Plains Energy Services representative for more ideas about potential funding sources. Thomas, in turn, decided to "crowdsource" Haber's question with other Energy Services staff. "The great thing about having an Energy Services representative in each region is that we all bring a different background and perspective to the job," said Thomas. "Any one of us can tap that collective experience to find answers for our customers."
Energy Services Manager Ron Horstman observed that Haber is off to a solid start in her search for funding. "Check with your generation and transmission provider first," he advised. "They understand your load in the context of the community and local climate, and they have a vested interest in helping their members manage their demand."
Here are some other recommendations municipalities might consider for securing funding:
- Assemble a list of stakeholders on the project and brainstorm with them to come up with a list of potential sources. Your colleagues and neighbors may surprise you with their resourcefulness and innovative thinking.
- If the city participates in the American Public Power Association (APPA) Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (DEED) program, it may be eligible for a DEED scholarship or grant. Contact APPA for more information and eligibility requirements.
- Don't stop with your state's economic development office. Check with the state energy office, parks and recreation department, education department and public health office to learn about their grant opportunities. Projects that address the goals of more than one state (or federal) agency often have a better chance of receiving funding.
- County governments also offer economic development grants or loans, or serve as pass-through agencies for federal monies. Private businesses and nonprofit agencies frequently collaborate with counties to set up revolving loan funds for projects that benefit communities.
- Inquire with your local and state chamber of commerce about grant opportunities they may offer or be aware of.
- Hire a grant writer. This professional knows how to speak the language of funders and how to highlight the facets of the project that appeal to them. Grant writers who specialize in a specific field or type of project also keep up with the funding agencies and opportunities pertaining to their specialties.
- Seek donations from individuals or service clubs in the community. Supporting energy efficiency in public buildings today can help keep taxes and fees down tomorrow. Donating also gives residents ownership in the success of the project and a feeling of civic pride.
Ultimately, more projects are hobbled by a lack of imagination than a lack of funding, Horstman insisted. "Make the effort to think outside the box, and you may discover financing options that would never have occurred to you otherwise," he said. "You may even improve on the efficiency and functionality of your original plan if you stay open to creative thinking."
Good luck!
Energy Services wishes White, S.D., and all our customers the best of luck in developing the modern, efficient facilities their communities need to remain vibrant and healthy. More than that, we are always sharing ideas to accomplish that goal through our website, blog and our representatives.
Most of all, we urge you, our customers, to share your experiences with each other. Contact your peers directly through Energy Services Bulletin stories, send them to the editor or give us your two cents' worth in the comments below.

Whether it is pups, adult dogs, rescue dogs or multi-household dogs, dogs are often misunderstood. Many behaviours we find undesirable in our dogs are actually perfectly normal to the dog so we have to re-direct and guide our dogs for the behaviours we desire from them.Behaviour Modification Plans are the result of me assessing your dog, finding out the reasons for the behaviour(s) and offering solutions and demonstrations to help you and your dog enjoy a better more balanced relationship.
I do not tolerate harsh or abusive training methods which only serve to remove trust. I instead practice a calm and informed holistic approach while still establishing the rules and boundaries that all dogs need to be balanced and confident with in calm and ethical practices. These will then help you to guide your dog to be able to make the right choice of behaviour with ethical modern day training
Every dog and their issue is unique and will respond differently to methods of behaviour training. My advice reflects a modern day approach to teaching dogs – preferring to always use positive reward based training.
Dogs do not come into the world knowing how to behave; it is our job to teach them in a calm and unthreatening manner and my aim is to help you to do this. Dogs need guidance in the correct behaviours which the Yes! Good Dog Behaviour Modification Plans will offer giving the most effective way to start your journey. Please click on the blue 'time & commitment' tab below for details on sessions and costs.
"Mandy came to help me with Reggie my dog whom had become stressed when we introduced him to a new puppy we had. She has to be a magician. She has worked with both of our dogs. She has taught me so much about how our dogs think and how to read what they are saying. They are so much calmer and happier together now. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. She is a lovely woman and offers so much support not only in the home but by email and phone. I think she has passed some of her magic onto me as I feel like The Dog Whisperer now. Thank you for everything" Ellie -Sheldon
"We had the pleasure of Mandy coming to help out with our lovely 10 month old Charlie (bullmastiff) on Sunday, and all I can say is SUPERWOMAN she put all of us at ease and showed us exactly what's needed to help Charlie to calm and learn some house manners. I am already getting people comment on how much calmer he seems . Thank you so much for all your help Mandy the work is already paying off. Highly recommended" Kelly & Mark – Walsall

(Keith and Bob very happy after successfully logging 260 trouble free miles in 24 hours.)
If you remember from the last episode, the HOG Boys were not the most
happy with their rides.
The dealer offered another day's rental at no additional charge. Ever anxious for a new adventure we stepped into the world of Milwaukee Iron once more. Keith again rode a Road King, this time with hard luggage side bags, and I got another Heritage Softail, this one did not have fuel injection, just a carb. This time the bikes were Operational Ready, and Full Systems Capable. In summary: All systems worked well.
(Jane testing the kick stand on the Heritage Softail)
After picking up the bikes, we again had a fine dinner with Jane at
Napoli's Italian Restaurant. After a short stop at Keith's, it was
time to make tracks on Interstate 10. We rode to Brentwood, where
we stayed the night (Keith's fiancée's apartment). As
the night was still young, a quick phone call welcomed us to Ron's
house in Bell Air where a beer and fine cigar awaited. (Thanks Ron)
(Ron at play.)
At Ron's house, as circumstance would have it, a television program on the history of Harley Davidson was being aired. (How motivating). The next show was a program on real police chases that ended with a 120mph motorcycle chase where the rider drove/crashed into a city bus. Not a pretty sight as the rider bounced off the side of the bus with his head doing about 60mph. How sobering, but the need to ride again called, and we bid goodnight to Ron.
Returning to Brentwood we retired for the evening to get good and rested for tomorrow, as the rest of our adventure would continue in the AM.
In the morning the bikes started up fine, and it was a short ride to
the beach. A pleasant cruise along the ocean on Pacific Coast Highway
to Malibu ended at Gladstones On the Beach for breakfast.
After hogging down (just had to say that) breakfast, we continued up the coast a-ways. We stopped at Robert Meyer State Beach for photo op. and a smoke.
(The bikes were not a'smokin, we were!)
It was time to depart- the- pattern as I had some business to do before we left the coast. The next day I was to compete in the 70th La Jolla Rough Water Swim. It is an open ocean swimming event, and I entered the one mile/masters category. (This swimming event was encouraged by friend Erick as you may have guessed.) So every chance I get, I try to do a little swimming at the beach. The beach in question where I have been training is down in Long Beach. Thus it was off to Belmont Shores in Long Beach, for another one-half mile training swim.
Tooling to Long Beach was a breeze. Was nice to use the Harley as a Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) where a bathing suit, towel, and goggles fit perfectly. I had a nice training swim as Keith kept time. (Took me 20 minutes for a leisurely half mile.)
(Swim coach Keith, with Chronometer and Cubana.)
The clock was ticking, and we had to head back to the Inland Empire for rental returns. So with ashes flicked, and swim trunks stowed, the behemoths were brought to life once again. (Thank god for electric starters, can't even imagine kick starting these engines. I can remember almost loosing a leg trying to kick start a BSA 441 once.)
Ride back was nice, though I hated to leave the beach. We switched bikes for a short time, and both liked the ride of the Heritage Softail over the Road King better. (Lower center of gravity, less vibration, and more comfortable handlebar position. All opinions are subjective of course.)
Bikes were returned safe and sound. Dealer and riders were very happy. (Oh, the dealer had some kind of a party/open house this day with music/food/vendors/etc. Seems like the dealerships alternate these open house types of party. At first we thought it might just be a celebration of our safe return , but no. An interesting marketing technique, as Harley owners now have multiple destinations to ride to on weekends, and share the ''fun", meet other riders, see other dealers, have lunch, etc. A very effective manufactured party, and multi level marketing strategy. How can you pass up free hot dogs, sodas, and an on site tattoo artist....we did! Many others did not)
24 hours and 260 miles later all went well. Guess I will have to get one of these things some day, they are great toys. Though to be honest, I may not be ready for one right away. What I am saying is that I may not be man enough for one yet. To tell you the truth the past 24 hours were not perfect, I did have a couple of unforeseen events occur...
(Foot rest of Softail)
The foot rest of the Heritage Softail is my friend. Even though last week as I forgot that this Harley is not a big black Yamaha 175cc dirt bike that you can lean over like I used to do 25 years ago. I leaned it too much in a turn and scraped the foot rest on the pavement. It got my attention, but did no harm. (Oh, Jim is that what you mean when you advised me that these big bikes do not have the ground clearance that I was accustomed to?) Well this week I (though I should say the foot rest) had another encounter, or three with the pavement. This time the velocity was zero. Yes, I must admit that on three occasions while I was just standing there, once stopped at a light, once stopped on an down inclined driveway, and once at the gas pump, I leaned the bike beyond my ability to hold it up...and Yes it leaned down (do I use the word : fell) and rested on that foot rest. I thought the bike was going to fall down to the ground and crush my body under it, but it just tilted till the foot rest contacted the ground. No other part of the bike touched anything, almost like the foot rest was acting like a kick stand. Thought I never released my death grip from the handlebars. With much sweat I was able to upright the bike the first time, though I had to climb off it and lift from the down leaning side with all my might. The next time this happened we were entering the state park, a down ramp that ends in a non- paved surface. I was a little apprehensive to be driving on the dirt, and the moment I stopped, pointing downhill on an angle to it, the bike went over to the foot rest. Keith's help was needed on this one for sure. And finally, at our last gas stop,... I thought I put down the kick stand...er, ..what can I say. Thanks again, Keith. ( What is the moral of this story you ask..., maybe I'm just not used to the bike... Maybe I'm just not man enough for this bike and need to build up some muscles,.. or should I consider something smaller like a 'ladies' bike? I'll let you the readers make suggestions.... :-)
Motorcycles are fun. One day I just may have to get one. I am honestly considering picking up a police bike at auction (dare I say a Kawasaki 1000) just to see if I will use a motorcycle enough to justify the cost of a HOG. (And after all, if I am prone to dropping these thing left and right, I may just as well use a K1000 as a training bike and trash it.) Anyway I have been checking out the police auctions lately. Will let you know what I eventually get. But in the meantime, Renting brand new Harley Davidsons occasionally is definitely a way to go.
See you all soon.
Varroooooooom Bob
P.S. The following day Erick and I did swim in the La Jolla Rough Water Swim. My time for the ocean Mile was 38minutes 56seconds, and Erick did it in 37minutes 07seconds. We were in different age categories so we did NOT directly compete. (Yea, Really!). For your info the winning time overall was 17m55s, and a man named Jim Eubanks who is 85 years old finished in 31m07s, winning in his age group. Wow!
It was a great weekend. Many more happy faces.
(Erick and Bob Post-Swim 'with the Gold)
(Gold Survivor's Medal) (Open Road or Open Ocean, just another playground. Enjoy.)

Premier Networx Ranks 2301 on Inc. 5000 List
Monday, August 20th, 2018
Local IT company Premier Networx has made the 2018 list of the fastest-growing companies in America by Inc. 5000. The list, which is put out annually, has featured major companies including Microsoft, Timberland, Vizio, and more. Premier Networx was ranked at number 2301.
"It's truly an amazing accomplishment for myself and my employees," said Premier Networx CEO Chad Harpley. "I didn't start this business for special awards, I started it because I saw a need for a reliable IT company. However, this recognition makes me feel like we're doing something right."
Inc. 5000 selects the companies on its list based on a company's revenue growth from 2014 to 2017, as well as employee growth. In order to qualify, businesses must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies. Other businesses ranking on the 2018 list include Peloton, Brooklinen, and PopSockets.
Premier Networx will be recognized at the Inc. 5000 Conference and Gala in October in San Antonio, Texas. Professionals from Mailchimp, Panera Bread and more are scheduled to speak during the event.

by John Volkmann One of the many sources of tension in growing a business is the trade-off between being focused and being opportunistic. If you are too focused, you may miss where your market is telling you to go. Too opportunistic, and you risk spreading yourself too thin … and scaring prospects away.
This is acutely important in marketing, where the gap between cause and effect is high, as is the hunger for true ROI. The good news is that the web and social media provide unprecedented capacity to look for correlations in your marketing activity. Today's tools raise the bar on expectations for marketing productivity, efficiency and effectiveness. And today's business leaders should refine their thinking about how to evaluate the marketing function – regardless of where you are in your evolution as a company.
One of the most important distinctions to keep in mind is that between outputs and outcomes. An output is a deliverable, untethered by any specific business result, good or bad. An outcome, on the other hand, is exactly what it implies: a business result. Outcomes should be where you focus your energy.
In measuring marketing ROI, tech entrepreneurs often lose sight of this distinction, setting targets on outputs. While tangible and measurable – outputs can lead to a false sense of security. Think of it as like counting the miles on a trip, rather than focusing on your efficient, safe, and timely arrival.
Challenge your teams, partners, and yourself with these questions:
- What are the desired outcomes of this specific output? (Stuck? Try asking "Why" a few times in a row next time you're discussing beginning an activity.)
- How can I tag my outputs in order to properly correlate them to an outcome?
- How can I become smarter about getting more 'work' out of each output? What information would I need to have to know that I'm getting better or worse results from the activities we perform?
- How can I measure conversion rates? (Think of conversion broadly. Conversion from seeing your billboard to visiting your site. Conversion of people who see your Tweets into people who engage with you in a conversation on Twitter. Conversion of people who are leads into people who are paying customers.)

The critically acclaimed singer/songwriter/rapper takes a bold new direction spitting quick rhymes about politics, history and society's current neurotic state. Not sure how I feel about this one yet but either way I am excited to see what the talented ex-fugee does next.

Mercy Hospital custom asset by Nemesis.
This is not the exact copy of the original building from L4D, in fact there is no infected references, just a big hospital.
I created from scratch, no blueprint or something else from Valve has been used (for the building).
On the contrary I make some screenshot from L4D2 and used it as references and as texture pool (emergency sign, mercy flags, and so on) so I hope Lord Gaben don't delete this mod 😛

Bush should stay away from cloning
WASHINGTON -- President Bush's premature and ill-informed condemnation of the human cloning experiments of a private Massachusetts company was in sharp contrast to his prolonged pondering over whether to deny federal funds for stem-cell research. He ended that deliberation by allowing the research to continue but on a limited basis.
The issues of cloning and stem-cell research are not identical, although they are linked in the minds of those whose religion teaches that life begins at conception rather than later when the fetus "quickens," as people in some other religions believe.
Bush's emotional overreaction last week made no distinction between cloning to create a human duplicate, which the company says it is not trying to do, and therapeutic cloning aimed at producing stems cells that can fight the world's most terrible diseases, which is the company's goal. The issue is whether reverence for an embryo is more important than the promise of medical cures to prolong life and relieve pain.
"The use of embryos to clone is wrong," Bush snapped, immediately after Advanced Cell Technology of Worchester, Mass., announced it had cloned the world's first human embryos. "We should not as a society grow life to destroy it. And that's exactly what's taking place."
No, it isn't. The president panicked without knowing what he was talking about. He knocked down a straw man. Polls show there is no support in this country or abroad for the cloning of human beings to create their genetic twins, as researchers have done with animals. There are powerful ethical questions about producing artificial humans. But that is not what ACT did.
The definition of "life" depends on whether one believes an embryo is in itself a living human being or a collection of cells with human potential if implanted in a woman's uterus. The researchers insist they will never place a cloned embryo in a woman's uterus. So it could not grow into a baby. The very word "cloning" makes some people hysterical. And the scientific implications are complex and confusing.
It is some stretch to claim that ACT grew "life." It has cloned some embryos to try to harvest their stem cells to combat degenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's for which there is currently no cure. None of the clones, however, lived long enough to produce any stem cells. Much more research has yet to be done.
The laboratory announced the minimal breakthrough anyway in hopes of getting credit for being a pioneer in the field and attracting new financial support.
In many other countries leaders seem to have no trouble distinguishing between cloning for controlled research purposes and cloning to create humans. The European Union recently rejected a proposed ban on human cloning by a 316-37 vote. Britain expressly permits and regulates therapeutic cloning experiments but forbids human cloning. No European state has admitted it would ever permit a human baby to be produced by cloning.
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill criminalizing human cloning for any purpose. The Senate, however, has taken no action and been inclined to sympathize more with the scientists and the sick who need improved medical treatment than with the pro-life religious conservatives.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., is pressing for a comprehensive anti-cloning measure that would either forbid the practice or impose a six-month moratorium on such research. But Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., is leading a substantial opposition. It is unclear which side has more support, but Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle says he will not schedule a vote on the issue until next year after hearings can be held.
"The scientific community is ready to put forward a very strong case," Specter said. "And I think that case will be persuasive to the Congress."
Bush, of course, won't be listening. His mind is made up. He didn't wait for the facts. Nor did he repeat the thoughtful deliberations he went through in deciding to block funding for research on new stem-cell lines but to continue it on existing cell lines.
He should have stayed out of the new cloning issue, and so should Congress. The science in cloning is coming and can't be stopped. The toothpaste is out of the tube.
If we ban the technology in America, we will fall behind other countries in the search for medical cures. The wise course would be to keep both public and private research legal so that it will be done in the open and can be regulated. The Bush administration doesn't approve of most regulations, but this is one area in which government supervision -- but not suppression -- is needed.

Following up on my experiments with wild leeks, I have discovered a few key and interesting facts. Not all cotton is equal. I had experimented in May with some very fine cotton I purchased at the fabulous Ribes i Casals fabric store in Barcelona. Though the results were not as stunning as the silk, the color still had a rich, buttery quality to it, that proved a nice contrast to the silk. So I felt sure the cotton sheeting my friend Cristina from Hotel Cal Llop had given me was going to be great. Our idea was to recycle the fine cotton sheets used at the hotel that were too worn for use. The cotton had a nice, tight weave, and a good brightness to it. However, when I went to dye, as I stated in my previous post, the results were disappointing. And the boiling recommended by my neighbor in La Figuera, though helpful, still was not yielding the results I was looking for. Anxious that my extraction process was flawed, I decided to dip some mordanted silk in to the bath. And sure enough, gorgeous, magical color.
Conclusion: my original concept of making teas in the sun, for maximum energy efficiency, is still viable. The problem was not with the bath, but the fiber. The recycled cotton , though of a great quality, may have been too tight a weave, washed too often with soap that created a barrier (even though I wash all fabrics prior to dyeing), countless possibilities why the color wouldn't penetrate.
Next experiment with the wild leek: tap water versus salt water from the Mediterranean Sea.
After lunching at one of my favorite beach side restaurants, El Vaixell, and a swim in the sea to digest (contrary to the popular childhood adage, wait 30 minutes), I hauled out two 5 litres bottles of salt water to experiment with. Needless to say, the sight of a tall, rather pale woman hauling water out of the sea raised some eyebrows. Oh well, all for the cause of discovery. After gathering a new batch of leeks this morning, down behind La Perla del Priorat, I boiled one batch in tap water, one in salt water. The results were interesting.The silk manifested a rich, herbed butter color in the tap water, and yielded a color more akin to the color I managed on the cotton in the salt water bath. So, as I have been suspecting, the alkalinity of the water is going to prove to be an interesting aspect to this process. And perhaps the cotton I got from Cristina had been washed so often in water high in alkaline that the fibers have been compromised. Yikes, I didn't mean to turn my art in to a science! But it seems that the marriage of the two is inevitable.
eyes and ears open
I was traveling down the back road from Falset to El Molar, past Bellmunt del Priorat, the other day, thunder and rain drenching the earth, glazing it with a radiant red wash. It may have been the light, so very different on a cloudy day, that made me pause and notice flora springing up everywhere. Most noticeable were the patches of wild leeks, Allium ampeloprasum, whose fantastic globes were bobbing in the rain. I thought to myself, wild onion, onion skins, classic natural dyestuff. Pulling my Smart over to the side of the road, I got out, and with a bread knife I happened to have for my impromptu picnic, I began cutting the heads off. But as I did, I managed to pull up the entire plant, bulb and all. Not wanting to destroy flora uselessly, I grabbed enough to do my test.
I have been dyeing cotton for the bags I make for the silk scarves, as I wait for my bounty of silk to clear customs in Madrid. The results were proving disappointing, my sun tea baths just not yielding the same exuberant color as on the silk. I kept trying all manner of ideas, from salt water gathered from the sea, to longer baths, to my black tub method. Other than the unbelievably reliable "Priorat Gold" (read Straw Into Gold), I was disheartened by the not only lackluster color, but in fact very unattractive colors I was getting.
Adjusting jars and putting out new baths on my terrace, I was greeted by my neighbor below, who, I could tell by the look on her face, was curious about my odd assortment of jars stewing in the sun. I told her I was extracting colors from the flora of the Priorat, using my very useful guide, Flora de la Serra de Montsant, by Roger Pascual i Garsaball. We chatted for a moment, I told her the colors were amazing on silk, but that I was having a bit of difficulty with cotton. Oh, she said, cotton is tricky. I used to worked in a textile factory, she continued, and we had to get the temperature of the cotton bath really high. Wow, I responded, I perhaps should try boiling my bath.
And so I find myself boiling wild leeks in my kitchen, the delightfully pungent scent an added bonus. I have to say my neighbor was one hundred percent correct. The boiling bath is yielding considerably better results. So, lesson of the day: keep your eyes open for the new flora, keep your ears open for the new insight, and turn your disappointment in to a new discovery. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? You got it. Back to my favorite back road to collect wild leeks. Fortunately I don't have overnight guests until next week, because not everyone likes their house to smell like onions!

Just when I was all set to give up on mankind, something out of the ordinary happened.
I was on my way to work at 4:15 in the morning en route to catch a van.
As crazy as it may sound, I usually take the train since it's packed at that hour referred to as the changing of the guard. It's when the hotel workers switch shifts along with policeman and transit employees.
Being a morning person, I got up…showered and flew out the door only to find the train wasn't running for another 45 minutes.
I immediately felt sweat forming beneath my Paris is for lovers T-shirt thinking…now what.
A little old black woman was standing a few feet from me. I asked her if she was okay.
"Yeah, I'm good, " she said, a little too much rouge lifting off her cheeks. "Any day I wake up is a good day."
"I know what you mean," I said, smiling at her.
"Sure do love the train till it don't work. I guess we'll just have to take a ca-yb." I loved how she said we.
"A cab? We can wait…it will come," I said, not wanting to spend the money. It's over 3 bucks just to open the door…a peccadillo of mine…how outrageously expensive taxis are.
"No, no…we need to get to our dis-tinations," she said, flashing a huge gold tooth in the center of her smile. She worked for a rich widow in Murray Hill, she told me, who liked to put Baileys Irish Cream in her coffee.
Ma, is that you?
Now she was old…and I truly believe there are no accidents so I decide to split a cab with her, even though I would have just waited hoping my ride didn't leave without me.
"Come own," she said, holding up her cane to hail one down.
"44th and Lexin-ten," she tells the driver, "and then, one mo stop."
Now I had to be clear across town on Canal Street, but thought I'd get out with her and hop the train at Grand Central…best plan so far.
We get to her stop and she says to the Indian cab driver, "You take this young lada where she needs ta go," handing him a bunch of bills, "and make sho she's safe."
"I'll be fine ma'am, really."
"She's tapping the guy's elbow ignoring me, "You promise me now."
He shakes his head yes…she leaves.
I tell him I'm getting out too and he said, "Oh no…I take you to where you are going. She give me pa-lenty of money."
I couldn't believe it. This hard working woman paid for my ride. Okay, I'll surrender to this unexpected gift and let him drive me.
So we sail there, all the windows open, thanks to the early hour, so now I'm a few minutes early. I ask him to leave me off at a Dunkin' Donuts a block or so away.
"Would you like a coffee?" I ask before leaving.
"No, no, I am fine," he says fixing his turban like Rita Hayworth in a convertible.
I thank him disappearing into the land of sugar and caffeine, yet when I come out, he's still there.
"You okay?" I ask him, poking my head in the open window on the passenger side.
"Yes, but of course. I am waiting to take you to your safe place."
"I'm fine, really," I say, "honestly, you can go."
As I start to walk he's driving slowly behind me.
He followed me till I got to the van.
I went over to him.
"That was very kind of you sir…really…unnecessary but kind. Thank you."
"You are most well-come," he said with a big smile.
"A padomise after all, is a padomise."

Carmel has been in the news lately, and with enough acrimony, it's worth wondering why Hoosiers feel the way they do about Carmel.
At the recent news of apparent budget shenanigans involving Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard aimed at getting a high-dollar concert hall and a new Keystone Avenue built, people were poking fun and rolling their eyes at the mention of Carmel.
I even caught myself making a snide comment over Thanksgiving. Family members gathered at Mitchell's Fish Market in Carmel on Friday night. When making the plans, my brother in law from Cleveland joked, "We're going to Carmel (pronounced 'Carm-L')-by-the-Sea?" referring to the elite seaside California town where Clint Eastwood once served as Mayor.
I replied, "No. Carmel-by-the-Interstate."
Per capita, Carmel is Indiana's wealthiest community. So there are layers of meaning in that humorous label for Carmel. There's the self-deprecation of Hoosiers, always ready to make fun of themselves before someone else does. But there's something else there that goes beyond the delight of knocking the richest guy on the block down a peg. I suppose it's a reaction against pretension.
Hoosiers hate pretension.
It goes way back. In the early 20th Century, then famed Hoosier author, Meredith Nicholson was asked by an east-coast magazine to write a piece explaining what, exactly, a Hoosier was. He alluded to this guarding against pretension.
He said that Hoosiers of that era purposefully left the "g" off words ending in, "ing." Words like "working" and "going" become, workin' and goin', lest anyone mistakenly think you fancy yourself a refined, cultured, bigwig.
Literature from Indiana's late Victorian era also makes fun of people who put their street address on letters and post cards, especially if they lived on a street of grand homes. They also made fun of the first folks to put in telephones. So the comment on such a person might have gone something like this:
"That guy thinks his dog don't stink. Why, he puts his street address on mail so everyone will know what a swanky street he lives on and even thinks he's so important that he put in a telephone so people can get his opinion at a moment's notice."
True, everyone, everywhere in the world will tell you they don't like pretentious people, but we Hoosiers have elevated our aversion to pretension to the 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not act superior to anyone."
You see it in the humor of Hoosier wise-ass, Dave letterman. He's built a career out of knocking self-important people down a peg or two. Note the occasional Letterman show boycotts by the ego-laden Cher and Madonna, both miffed at not being worshipped by Dave. And being true to his nature, the jokes are often on Letterman himself. To prove how regular he is, his regular ol' mom is a regular guest. Ironically, for this discussion anyway, Dave's mom lives in Carmel (by-the-Interstate).
I think the negative side of Carmel's image comes down to that perception of pretension. It's not just a resentment or envy of the wealthy – though I'm sure that plays a big part as well. It's the perception that Carmel's leaders aren't just trying to make the best city they can make, they're also trying to make it better than your town, and worse yet, they want you to know it's better.
But I think those who perceive those motivations have simply gotten lost along the fine line between pride and arrogance, and presume the latter, because, after all, they're Hoosiers.
I continue to say, "perception" for a reason. While I might tease with my, "by-the-Interstate" comment (for after all, I too am a Hoosier), I admire a lot of what they're doing in Carmel, including the concert hall and the new Keystone Avenue. And the fact that they've got the tax base and willingness to do it – well good for them.
I think most out of towners drive through Carmel and also admire the big projects. But they also think it's a bit much, and that the town's leaders seem to want it all a bit too much. After all, the recent hoopla revolves around the appearance that city leaders misled the public about the costs of the concert hall and road project just to get them built.
We don't have to endorse dishonest leadership, but let's give Carmel the benefit of the doubt for their dynamic community and its big projects. Their leaders are optimistic. People who act with hope and aggressive optimism are often successful, and once successful, their continued aggressive optimism can come off as pretension.
Maybe it's time we Hoosiers just get over it, because that aversion to pretension holds back a lot of Indiana towns and keeps them from being as dynamic as a town like Carmel.

The best place to buy Oriental rugs online
At first I was very skeptical buying a rug online without being able to see it for its true patterns, colors and quality. I am glad that I took the chance to buy my new rug here. The quality of the rug was beyond what I expected and the colors and patterns were true to the photos. I will definitely return to buy Oriental rugs from Fine Rug Collection.
