Hoi adgrunts! As y'all know, we keep our little scrap book of press clippings under the link by the same name and don't make a fuss but lately we've been all over the place like a bad rash and this is just too much fun to not write about. Even you dear adgrunts are getting press-mentions these days. :) How cool is that?
A few weeks back, our ripping apart of Mindshares rendition of Donna Summers hit, made the Dutch tradepress Adformatie and we have a copy thanks to a helpful dutch adgrunt. I think it reads a little like this but my Dutch is poor - the jist of this makes sense to me even though it sounds a bit bizarre in English.
"The judgement from ad-addicts-pump Adland (ad-rag.com) on the promotional film from Mindshare is rock-hard."
"Between their XXX-rated Mini outdoor that just won an Obie and their Virgin Atlantic Spectravision spoof and now this, I'd say Crispin has pretty much milked the whole faux porn gimmick dry"
Caffeinegoddess' sleuthy skills uncovering all the nooks and crannies in the ad campaign for the 2006 Audi A3, beat everyone to the punch which is duly noted by Brian Clark who worked on the campaign, over at Revenews.
And yesterday, I startled friends, strangers and most of all myself over the morning cup of joe as I was featured , real big, in Sydsvenskan. The opening blurb reads:
"While Swedish bloggers with around 3000 visitors a day argue about who has the biggest blog, Swedish Åsk Wäppling sits in Copenhagen counting in ten times as many visitors a day."
Thanks Kullin, Tiger and Researcher for the congratulatory blurbs. :) Though, best comment yet is a amberglows:
" meanwhile, dabitch has been pregnant for like 3 years, no? what's up with that? ; >"

NEW YORK Oil prices rose more than a dollar a barrel on Friday, heading for a second week of gains on growing expectations that leading oil producers will agree at next week's OPEC-led meeting to extend output cuts aimed at reducing a global crude glut.Brent crude LCOc1 was up $1.18 at $53.29 at 12:10 p.m., while U.S. benchmark crude oil CLc1 was up $1.13 at $50.48. Both benchmarks were at their highest in about a month, rising more than 2 percent. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers including Russia meet on May 25 to decide whether to extend output cuts of almost 1.8 million barrels per day. Market watchers expect the group to extend cuts until the end of March 2018.An OPEC panel is considering even deeper supply cuts to try to boost prices and reduce forward selling.
Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said hedge funds expected the crude glut to recede."Time and again they are rebuilding long positions," he said. "There seems to see this persistent bias to buy on the dips. They're not getting bearish, they're coming back in."Many investors remain concerned about growing U.S. crude production, which has climbed 10 percent since mid-2016 to 9.3 million barrels per day.
Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest producer, is also keeping markets well supplied. Its crude exports rose 275,000 bpd in March from February and its stockpiles increased, official data showed on Thursday."I think the cuts are enough to stabilize the market. I think they will likely bring some stock draws but I don't think it will bring the stock draws that OPEC is hoping for," said Olivier Jakob, managing director at Petromatrix.
This weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump heads to Saudi Arabia for his first foreign visit. The country's state oil company Saudi Aramco is set to sign investment deals with several U.S. companies.Iran holds its first round of presidential elections this weekend. In a note on Friday, Commerzbank wrote that if President Hassan Rouhani remains in office, "the country is likely to continue down its path of moderate opening" which should encourage Western investment and bring "a noticeable rise in Iranian oil production."If the winner is Ebrahim Raisi, a critic of Iran's nuclear deal with the West, the bank said new sanctions "would then very likely be imposed ... which could reduce the oil supply from Iran even in the short term."

sleep (or, the joys of being a fledgling blogger)
It's such a yearning-ful (I think I just made that up!) word.
SLEEEEEEEP. Not a lot of which is happening here just now.
I didn't think when I started my little bloglet, that I would find it to suddenly be such an exciting thing. I feel like a whole new world has suddenly opened up and now it is 3:00am and my mind is still a-whirring away, composing blog posts, thinking of topics to post about, photos to take, people to talk to, crafty bits and bobs to share..... I kind of feel like I really am seeing the world through new eyes.
Of course, I realise it has something of a novelty value at the moment, that the dizzying thrill will soon wear off, and it will become an enjoyable, pleasant but not hugely exciting thing to do.
Which will be great, 'cos right now the nights are hell.
Valium, anyone?

Money for Old Roper
I'm interviewing Flagship Studio's Ex-Blizzard-ite Bill Roper tomorrow for a magazine, so have been doing a little research into what sort of things the man's been saying recently. Some interesting stuff out there. Hellgate: London is a game which I've been, while not ignoring, I've been more waiting to actually actively have a chance to play the bally thing than following the hype. So, while this is a couple of weeks old, it's new to me. Newsweek's always excellent N'Gai Croal chatted to Bill Roper in two separate interviews this year, which he serialised in four parts. He's now lumped it together in one mega-interview which annoys me by asking all the sensible questions I'd have gone for, forcing me to actually apply my brain a bit harder than normal. Damn N'Gai Croal.
Anyway, here's Bill on what sort of game Hellgate is. Is it a turn-based strategy game set during the Punic Wars?
"No, it's an MMO. I mean, MMO means "massively multiplayer online." We're gonna be connecting hundreds of thousands to millions of players online. You know, Diablo 2 is an MMO, but in people's heads when they think MMO they think the EverQuest model so that gives them all these parameters of what an MMO is. And then—I don't know if this gets driven by marketing groups or by sales or fans, I don't know–people really seem to need, have that need to be able to strictly define things. Like I know that Raph Koster at one point referred to Guild Wars as a hub-and-instance MMO, trying to narrow down what kind of MMO it was. It's an MMO. You go online and you're playing with, you know, thousands of other people in your community. That's what Hellgate is. It's an MMO. But to me the more quote-unquote "confusing part" is that its both a single-player game and an MMO. I was thinking of it as trying to be kind of like the Swiss Army Knife of games or the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of games. You've got your single-player MMO or whatever, or it kind of has these different arms that it reaches out to, these different people that want to play it. But we talk about it as being a massively multiplayer online game in the fact that we're gonna be putting a massive amount of people together to play a game."
Good to get that sorted. Every topic imaginable – from pricing decisions to randomised content to Guitar Hero – is dealt with herein. Go read.

In a recent Nielsen report, the mobile operating environment has stabilized over the past several months. Although Androids enjoyed steady growth as the market leader in 2010, Apple and Blackberry are holding on to their market at 26% and 23% of the market share respectively.
The study also reveals that Android users consume the most data at an average of rate 582 megabytes of data per month versus 492 megabytes of Apple iOS users. In regards to application downloads, 79% of Apple iOs users download apps per month versus 74% of Android users. Blackberry users only download at a rate of 42% per month.
After utilizing data resources and application downloads, smartphones' next popular activity is streaming online music, an activity that pushes services like Pandora and MOG to soar in the Android and iOS marketplace,
Windows Mobile is still a strong presence in the market, holding at 9%, with Windows Phone 7 claiming 1% of the market.

The first set of French troops for the Indo-China project are finished. They took a while to paint but it was an absolutely brilliant painting experience. I will buy more of these figures, that is for sure. The range is only about a dozen skirmishing poses so far, but there are head variants with helmets, bush hats and Bigeard caps. I intend to use this variation to the fullest, and probably find heads from other makers as well.
They are posing in front of a stone wall printed from a PDF set by Fat Dragon Games.

- Answer key includes model answers for the Writing test that give a clear idea of a good answer.
People don't like
- There is only one full practice test in the book, which means that to practice more students need to purchase additional test papers.
- There is no Answer sheets included in the book, which means that students can't practice in copying answers from the book to the Answer Sheet as they are required in the real exam.
- The fact that the Audio CD for the Listening section is not included with the book makes all the listening exercises useless.

It is reasonably short, explains everything you need to know about the exam and provides examples for all the task types. The book suggests strategies for students to optimize their band score and tips how to handle the time pressure. However, to practice more you would have to purchase additional practice tests, as there is only one full test included in the book. Also keep in mind that the CD for the Listening tests is not included and must be purchased separately here.

You know how sometimes you build up an idea in your mind so much, the reality ends up disappointing you? Well, this is not that kind of story. 🙂 It took us three years to return to Zlatne Skoljke, and it was even better than what we remembered it!
Zlatne Skoljke is a small, family-owned, sea-food restaurant with a 30-year long tradition and domestic atmosphere. You can find it in the heart of Skradin, a charming small fishermen's town between Sibenik and Split, at the entrance of Krka National Park.
We visited Skradin three years ago with great friends and fell in love both with the town and the exquisite cuisine of Zlatne Skoljke. So it was my big wish to visit it again on our way back from Cote d'Azur (link to french riviera dog post).
Everything was as we imagined it. We were greeted by the owners, recommended fresh fish and well taken care of. To our great relief, Lorry was welcome as well. He got a water bowl and he wrestled with a praying mantis; the praying mantis managed to escape. 😀
The food was simply exquisite! This is one of the best sea-food restaurants I have ever been to. Everything we tried was great, from risotto with prawns to home-made crapes with apricot marmalade and walnuts (just like my grandma makes them).
No wonder they have been on the list of 100 leading Croatian restaurants since 2004.
We wholeheartedly recommend Zlatne Skoljke and Skradin in general. It's small, charming and not too crowded. And Krka National Park is certainly worth a visit. 🙂
Useful info:

- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Trip Advisor rating: 4.5
Note: We were seated in the garden so I am not sure if dogs are allowed inside. It's best to call and make sure they have a great spot for you.

Sound walls to soften I-71's nonstop roar
Saturday, March 5, 2011 02:53 AM
By Robert Vitale
Take a last look past the shoulder as you drive north on I-71 – Columbus neighborhoods that have coped with freeway noise for 50 years are about to disappear behind sound walls.
The Ohio Department of Transportation will spend nearly $4.9 million by fall to lower the volume around houses east of the interstate between 5th Avenue and Cooke Road. On the southbound side, sound walls are going up between 5th and Cleveland avenues. Some of the walls have already been completed.
The local work will eat up nearly all of the $5 million the state sets aside annually for sound walls. The state automatically builds sound walls along new or expanded freeways.
When it's all done, sound walls will line all but commercial areas on I-71 between Downtown and Polaris.
Crashes Along I-70 Spilling Into Backyard, Couple Says
Sunday, March 6, 2011 10:35 PM
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Columbus couple is worried that someone will be seriously injured or killed after multiple highway crashes have spilled onto their property.
Michael and Sherry Boyd's home sits right below Interstate 70 near the Main Street exit, 10TV's Glenn McEntyre reported on Sunday.
During the last six months, nine crashes have occurred at the top of the hill by their home.
The latest crash happened on Saturday morning, when the cab of a tractor-trailer truck broke away from the trailer, rolled down the hill, and ended up into the Boyd's backyard.
Some think Olentangy Trail needs protection from Rt. 315
Monday, March 7, 2011 02:51 AM
By Dean Narciso
If the whoosh of cars and trucks isn't warning enough, the mixture of old, new and broken chain-link fence along the Olentangy Trail should be a sign of caution for the runners, stroller-pushers and cyclists on Franklin County's most-popular multiuse trail.
The repairs – and some gaping holes – are the result of motorists who lost control of their vehicles and plowed through the fence separating the trail from Rt. 315.
On Feb. 26, a Jeep Wrangler gradually veered off the northbound lanes of Rt. 315 and down a grassy slope, breaking through the fence and crossing the path before striking a tree just feet from the Olentangy River.

About once a week, I feel like I need a spa day! I usually dedicate my Sundays to cleaning, doing laundry and relaxing for the week ahead. For the relaxation part, I draw a nice bubble bath, put on a hair mask and then apply a face mask. Now there are many types of masks and I use different ones for different problems but I have found my go-to mask when I don't have any particular concerns, I just need some hydration and purification. Wei Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask is perfect for everyday skin needs. The package claims that it "deeply cleans, removes impurities, and minimizes the appearance of pores" and I would agree. When I first put the mask on, there was a cooling, tingling sensation that became less noticeable the longer I wore it. I kept the mask on for around 15 minutes and then washed it off with warm water. Immediately I noticed a difference! My face was brighter and my blemish was significantly smaller. My face also felt clean, but not tight like similar products will do to my skin. I applied my night serum and moisturizer and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning I was surprised how soft my face felt – almost as smooth as a baby's bottom. My skin was almost just as bright as it was the night before. Overall, with the Wen Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask, I wear less makeup and feel more comfortable about showing off my glowing skin.
Eight pods come in the package with an application brush (that can be used after all pods have been used up!). So, I believe that it is a deal to get 8 days of pampering for $42. I have tested a few other products from this line and I am absolutely in love. Check the mask out here or here.
What products do you use when you need an at home spa day?

- Step 1: Get water into ponds through filter bags made with thick fabric to remove rubbish, larvae, shrimps, crabs, snails, insects, or small fish. Stabilize the ponds in 3-7 days.
- Step 2: Run paddle wheel aerators continuously in 2-3 days to stimulate eggs of shrimp, snails, insects, small fish hatch into larvae.
- Step 3: Kill harmful organisms, sterilize water in settling ponds in the morning (at around 8 A.M.) or the afternoon (16 P.M.) with chlorine with a concentration of 20-30 ppm (20-30kg/1.000m3 of water), or those chemicals allowed to be used in Vietnam (not plant protection products and illegal substances).
Some chemicals that can be used to kill harmful organisms and sterilize water:
- Potassium permanganate (KMnO4): 20-50 kg/ha; spread evenly and leave for at least 24 hours before conducting water coloring.
- BKC (Benzalkonium Chlorinde) 50%: 3-5 ppm (30-50 kg/ha).
- 10% Iodine compounds: 1-3 liters/1.000m3 water.
Note: Use only one of these types of chemicals: or potassium permanganate, or chlorine, or BKC, or iodine. If use chlorine to sanitize the ponds 3-5 days previously, lime should not be used since it raises pH and reduces the ability of chlorine to sanitize.
- Step 4: Use paddle wheel aerators continuously for 10 consecutive days to free chlorine residual. Check the remaining chlorine residual in water with reagents.
- Step 5: Release tilapia into ponds: 50kg unisexual tilapia, size 50g/fish/ 3000m2 of the pond.
- Step 6: Get water from settling pond into farming ponds through filter bags.
+ For settling pond, maintain farming tilapia continuously throughout the breeding process.
+ Do not get water into farming ponds when: (1) water from cannels has scum, membranes, silt; (2) water in epidemic areas; (3) water that is luminescent at night.
+ Spend special attention to exterminate crustaceans and intermediate hosts (see the techniques above); do not let them get into the pond system

Chocolate Mint Soapchocolate-mint-soap
Chocolate Mint Soapchocolate-mint-soap
Product Details
Lots of cocoa butter makes Chocolate Mint Soap really smooth & silky!
Chocolate Mint Soap is one of my son, Andrew's favorite soaps. He even featured it for a college class project! Chocolate Mint soap is made with a high percentage of cocoa butter which gives it a creamy, almost silky feel and yet creates a really hard bar. The harder the bar, the better it holds up to water which makes it our longest lasting bar in the shower.
The cocoa butter also makes for a soap that is really gentle on your skin (not drying). The peppermint essential oil in this bar makes it really refreshing to use particularly when it is hot outside. It can even make you tingle so be careful if using around sensitive areas. With the addition of the chocolate swirl through the white soap, I agree with my son that this is a really special bar.
Ingredients: Rice bran oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide (lye), cocoa butter, peppermint essential oil and unsweetened chocolate.
Net wt: 4 oz. Minimum


text: The Balancing Game describes the strange and unique world occupied by a Jewish child, the daughter of refugees from Hitler?s Germany, growing up in post-war London and living in a run-down neighborhood. Naomi is obliged to maintain some kind of mental and physical balance between the two very different worlds she and her two younger sisters inhabit. The novel also tells the story of Felicity, a young woman who is pregnant with her first child and is living in Jerusalem during the period of the build-up to the Six-Day War of June 1967. The relations between Felicity, her parents in England, her husband, and the people around her occupy her as preparations for war go forward.

The Orioles are desperate for good news these days, and they got some Monday morning.
MRIs taken on both of Adam Jones' wrists showed only contusions, and the Orioles center fielder is expected to play Tuesday in Boston, the team confirmed.
Jones tweeted around 10:30 a.m. that he is "all good" and headed to "Beantown" for Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox.
Jones said Sunday that he's been bothered by the right wrist for several weeks. He couldn't pinpoint exactly when he first felt discomfort, but he felt pain after a slide into first base in the third inning Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"It just didn't feel right," Jones said. "I can feel it when I'm hitting. They wanted to get a picture of it and I wanted to get a picture of it and see what's going on in there so we can be sure and relieve any doubt."
Jones was pulled from the game in the top of the ninth inning. While the team flew to Boston, he stayed in Florida to get the MRIs.
"I wanted to hit, but [manager Buck] Showalter, he was like, 'Hey, we will take a precaution.'" Jones said. "Trust me, I want to hit."
Jones was hit by a pitch from Brandon Morrow in the left wrist Wednesday in Toronto. He dropped to the ground in pain but stayed in the game.
The Orioles already have eight players on the disabled list, including the other two starting outfielders, Nick Markakis (broken hamate bone) and Nolan Reimold (bulging disk in neck).
Jones leads the team in batting (.315), home runs (16) and RBIs (34). He agreed to a six-year, $85.5 million contract extension on May 26.

Blair told the annual meeting of the Trades Union Congress in the northwest English town of Blackpool, "Let it be clear that he must be disarmed. Let it be clear that there can be no more conditions, no more games, no more prevaricating, no more undermining of the U.N.'s authority."
Blair has been one of the few world leaders to publicly support the Bush administration's stance that a pre-emptive military strike against Saddam may be necessary if Iraq does not allow U.N. weapons inspectors free and unfettered access to their facilities.
The prime minister said he believed it was correct to deal with Iraq through the U.N., but defended both himself and President Bush from recent criticism for threatening military action against Saddam without a U.N. Security Council resolution.
"He [Saddam], not me or George Bush, is in breach of U.N. resolutions. If the challenge to us is to work with the U.N., we will respond to it," Blair said.
Calling Saddam an "international outlaw," Blair added that military action should be a "last resort" and reiterated his concerns about the potential of Iraq's biological and nuclear weapons capabilities.
"We're not talking about some mild variants of everyday chemicals, but anthrax, sarin and mustard gas – weapons that can cause hurt and agony on a mass scale beyond the comprehension of most decent people," he explained. "And I do not want it on my conscience that we knew the threat, saw it coming and did nothing."
President Bush met with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien Monday to discuss his case against Saddam as well as border security between the neighboring nations.
After the meeting, Chretien told reporters he still wasn't convinced military action was necessary in Iraq.
"He [President Bush] did not come with a document to present to me," Chretien told reporters. "He explained to me their position, the possibility of [Iraq] having nuclear armaments and so on."
Chretien said he told Mr. Bush that the U.S. and Canada should "follow the United Nations" in urging for arms inspectors to return to Iraq.
Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Graham said Tuesday that he was encouraged that Washington was taking its case to the U.N. through President Bush's planned speech to the general assembly Thursday.
"I'm very encouraged by the way the United States is presently proceeding. I think it's a very responsible stance they're taking — 'Let's go to the United Nations, let's work with the U.N.'," Graham told Canadian Television.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan told a news conference in Amman, Jordan Tuesday that U.S. and British claims of Iraq's weapons capabilities were lies and said U.N. weapons inspectors could return to the country only as part of a larger deal with the U.N. to end the current crisis.
"The West, and Britain and America in particular, are used to lying," Ramadan said. "We don't deny [these reports] or otherwise, we say the truth is that there are no weapons of mass destruction."
Ramadan also urged Arabs to strike U.S. interests in the Middle East if there is a strike on Baghdad saying, "…all Arab citizens wherever they might be have the right to fight by all available means the aggression through its representatives on their land."

While I walked to an 8 a.m. psychology class, an ROTC guy, a bit too chipper for that hour, got my attention. Sleepy but smiling, I faced him.
"Hey, how are you?" he began. "Let me ask you a question: Did it take a lot of nerve for you to cut your hair?"
Yes, I responded, surprised at his candor but comfortable with his genuine tone.
"So what's it like for you now? You just wake up in the morning and go, huh?" Again, yes. We smiled and laughed with each other, then went our separate ways. It was the simplest of conversations. No exchanged numbers, no awkward small talk. Just an honest question and an honest answer.
What was so special about this interaction? Maybe it was the fact that a young white man took sincere interest in a black woman's hair. Maybe it his friendliness or confidence—after all, he was delving into culturally risky territory. But he didn't bother me. He appeared to appreciate the ease my hair affords me. All I could do was smile.
Since I buzzed my hair down to about an inch in November 2011, I get a lot of comments about my lack of a historic beauty marker. Most often I hear, "I wish I could do that but I don't have the head for it." Only a few times I've heard "That's interesting" or "Oh," remarks that tickle me. The main question I get, however, is Why?
It's simple. I'm rocking the hairstyle that is most convenient for me, that generates the least amount of chaos in my life.
Embracing the kinks that grow from my scalp frees me. The rain, the humidity, the wind, and the shower are no longer my enemies. If my hair gets wet, it will just curl even more, depending on which products I've used. My prep time in the mornings has fallen significantly. It's just so easy.
Being natural is like being in a special counter-cultural club, one complete with numerous counseling blogs, forums, and videos. A recently photoshopped pic of Michelle Obama with cute, funky kinks had the blogosphere in a frenzy. But I don't have any political or social agenda, nor am I trying to make a fashion statement. I just don't care anymore. I don't care about what men prefer. I don't care about what the media thinks looks better. My hair is mine, and I feel good about it. Is it sexy in the traditional sense? Maybe, maybe not. Can you run your fingers through it as if it's threads of silk? Nope. But I'm choosing to work with it right now, and that's all that matters.
Many women feel they'll lose an important sense of femininity–and thereby be less attractive to men–if they chop their tresses. That fear, at least in my experience, is unsubstantiated. Very short hair may not attract the types of guys who think Drake's music videos depict real life, but it will probably attract men who appreciate you for you. Now that I can vet the secure men from the poseurs, my dating prospects have improved. It's refreshing to find people who accept and admire your unique humanity in a world full of rubber butts stuffed in thousand-dollar strips of spandex.
After 25 long years of beating myself up over these natural coils, I've learned to accept what comes out of my head, because it's just one small part of the complex me. I'll gladly answer any questions about it, but anyone who can't get past the kinks isn't worth my time, anyway. I'm not my hair nor any one thing. Thankfully, I no longer care.

Michael Green
I had a not so pleasant experience the last time I needed to have a website. The so called professionals promised me virtually everything with full assurance that I'll be given a website that will amaze me. Yes, true to their words, I got a website that shocked me—even some rookies playing around with a computer system could have done a better job! The guy even had a smile on his face when he was presenting it to me! I was so dumbfounded and dispirited to say anything and just paid them off. So, naturally when I came in contact with WDR, I was very skeptical but still had to give them a benefit of the doubt by paying £4500 for them to provide me with a good website. The project manager Michael Thompson and his team were able provide me with a great looking website.

Cenveo Board Waived Its Ethics Code During the Takeover Attempt of Banta: Was This Ethical?
More than happy with their service.
The Pet Shop
Webdesign led by Michael Thompson created an extremely good website for me called Care.Expert. Webdesign were very quick to grasp my concept, very professional and also had pragmatic ideas about how to launch the website.
They have created a website which is superior to all the other websites in the caring area.
I chose Webdesign because they were top rated in the reviews and they certainly lived up to their status.
Margrate Smith
I would like to thank web design room for their hard work and enthusiastic approach in building our new website. We are only a small team of solicitors which means our website is the life source of our marketing. We are very appreciative for everything you have done.
Pearl Philips
Teddy was very helpful and easy to work with
Teddy made me a very lovely website home my tea tea. It cost a little more than I'd first wanted to pay, but it was worth the extra money. I recommend the website design room.
From the outset the company was helpful. My site was predominantly a brochure site with some user call to actions. The main ability of the site is for any given user to enter their postcode and for the system to return a list of local service providers costs for the types of services offered in their area.
I would now like a longer term partnership with web design room.
Sally Westwood
My website is all I could have hoped for. After two long months I could not be happier or more grateful. Thank you for bring our dream alive x
Ben Wilson
Only made me a logo so far, but I pretty chuffed with the final design and service. I'll soon be back for my website designing.
Kate was amazing!
Web Design Room is amazing! Kate made my idea really come to life! I can not express how pleased I am with their services. Website Design Room has the tools and knowledge to take a small idea, and turn it into something real. Kate was able to answer all of my many questions, explain the steps and process required to take something from the idea phase, all the way to the store shelf. It's been a pleasure working with this company, and I cant wait to start on the next project!
Rita Worthington
Very highly recommended company.
Developers and designers listened to every single thing I wanted on my new cotton business website. Then with their creativity it was created just the way I wanted. I was impressed with how very fast, and when I wasn't certain about something they'd always come up with different approach and even some better ideas.
Very highly recommended company.
Tyler Kussee
I worked with Web Design Room whilst they were still named Virgin Web Design. Their attribute that I have grown to learn and appreciate is that they are no-nonsense and connect marketing to sales. You measure your marketing team by sales, so why shouldn't they? In terms of ROI, and managing costs tightly, I have observed them take the approach of testing before suggesting heavy spending. And once they find something that works they suggest ways to exploit it. I'd highly recommend using them if you're concerned about marketing ROI.
Kevin Lindquist
Jacob was able to get us featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and a host of other major sites. That was great, and all. But what really put the campaign over the top was the quality of content and the way they were able to deploy it to develop a ton of sales-ready leads for us.
Shanny Harrison
Out of this world
What lovely and helpful people! What more can you say! They went out of their way to help make sure our new website was perfect. Can not thank Michael enough.
Amean Andrews
Lost for words!!
Micheal Thompson was the person whom I worked with designing our new website. By all means it was not a large, nor expensive, project. This did not stop Micheal working hard to ensure that I received an outstanding website. We are only a small online shop selling high end ladies shoes, but it is still vital that our website is designed to the highest standard. Micheal could not have done better.
Michael, the manager of the team I worked with, couldn't do enough to help me. Right from the start he understood what I wanted, when other web designers couldn't, and helpfully suggested ideas on how to improve my ideas for the new website. Seven weeks later I was so pleased to receive the finished website. My customers love it and now 3 months later it's ranking far better in google without having to pay for a separate SEO service. I can't thank Michael Thompson and his team enough.

Temptation, Enticement, Prompting. Big words with one simple meaning; PERSUASION- The ability to influence people. In layman language we are talking about People skills. Entrepreneurs wouldn't trade them for the world. The ability to deal with people is priceless.
Being a good entrepreneur means being able to effectively convince an investor that you have a great idea, persuade partners that your approach is right, and convince potential customers that the solution is right for them. If all your ideas are intuitively obvious to everyone, you probably aren't thinking outside the box, or don't really have the next big thing.
Remember though, Persuasion is not manipulation. Manipulation is coercion through force to get someone to do something that is not in their own interest. Persuasion is the art of getting people to do things that are in their own best interest that also benefit you.
Here are few tricks you can use in your benefit to persuade your potential clients and customers:
- If it's True, Come Out and Say It-Don't beat around the bush. Don't give expectations that could not be met. However, if you execute and are good at what you do, say so. While other vendors that the individual calls will give them a sales pitch that all sound the same and is the same song a dance, you come out and say what you want to say. If you want the potential client's business, tell them. "We can work hard for you and produce. I want to take this account on." Who else is saying that?
- Persuade the Persuadable- Everyone can be persuaded, given the right timing and context, but not necessarily in the short term. Political campaigns focus their time and money on a small set of swing voters who decide elections. The first step of persuasion is always to identify those people that at a given time are persuadable to your point of view and focus your energy and attention on them.
- Persistence Pays- The person who is willing to keep asking for what they want, and keeps demonstrating value, is ultimately the most persuasive. The way that so many historical figures have ultimately persuaded masses of people is by staying persistent in their endeavors and message. Consider Abraham Lincoln, who lost his mother, three sons, a sister, his girlfriend, failed in business and lost eight separate elections before he was elected president of the United States.
- Compliment Sincerely – We are all so positively affected by compliments, and we're more apt to trust people for whom we have good feelings. Try complimenting people sincerely and often for things they aren't typically complimented for, it's the easiest thing you can do to persuade others that doesn't cost anything but a moment of thought.
- Set Expectations- Much of persuasion is managing other's expectations to trust in your judgment. The CEO who promises a 20% increase in sales and delivers a 30% increase is rewarded, while the same CEO who promises a 40% increase and delivers 35% is punished. Persuasion is simply about understanding and over-delivering on other's expectations.
- Don't Assume – Don't ever assume what someone needs, always offer your value. In sales we'll often hold back from offering our products/services because we assume others don't have the money or interest. Don't assume what others might want or not want, offer what you can provide and leave the choice to them.

Do you have sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea affects how millions of Americans sleep every night. Those diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will stop breathing multiple times throughout the night. This potentially life-threatening condition also increases your risk of certain health disorders like heart disease, heart attack, stroke and high blood pressure, and also makes you prone to more accidents, whether automobile or work-related, due to the excessive daytime exhaustion you may experience.
The standard course of treatment for sleep apnea is usually CPAP equipment, which delivers a steady, controlled stream of pressurized air through a hose that attaches to a facemask that is worn while you sleep. This air helps to keep your airways open to prevent obstruction and help you sleep better.
However, there are some people that experience CPAP intolerance, whether it's due to latex allergies or mask leaks. If you haven't found relief through CPAP equipment then it's time to talk to us about whether oral appliance therapy could treat your OSA symptoms.
Oral appliance therapy is designed to treat those with mild to moderate OSA, and may actually eliminate the need for CPAP equipment or surgery. If you have severe OSA this oral appliance may also be used in conjunction with other treatments to help you manage your symptoms.
Each sleep apnea device is custom-fitted to your mouth to target and address your specific needs. Since all mouths are shaped differently, these devices cannot be one size fits all. This is why you need to turn to our qualified dentist in order to be properly fitted for your oral appliance.
What to Look Out For
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a serious matter as it can lead to heart problems and other health issues. It's possible you may have OSA if you snore and also suffer from any of the following:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Irritability
- Poor memory/confusion
- Accident proneness
- Night sweats
- Morning headaches
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
How Dentistry Can Help
By now you're probably wondering: What does my dentist have to do with all this? Here's the connection: Snoring or sleep apnea can sometimes be treated with an oral appliance available at Dental Works, in Scottsdale, AZ, that's designed to hold the lower jaw forward during sleep. This repositioning of the jaw moves the tongue away from the back of the throat, reducing the potential for obstruction. This treatment is backed by a great deal of scientific evidence; it's a good remedy to try before moving on to more complicated breathing devices or surgery to remove excess tissues in the throat.
Only a dentist can fabricate, fit, adjust, monitor, and treat complications associated with Oral Appliance Therapy used in managing SRBD. So if you or a loved one is experiencing any combination of the signs and symptoms mentioned above, a consultation with a dental professional is a good idea.

A group of librarians gathered this morning in St. Paul to listen to Cathy DeRosa of OCLC discuss the recent study, Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources. It was a terrific blend of librarians from all types of libraries, and there was a lively discussion afterwards.
Cathy is engaging and entertaining, and brought up some thoughtful questions about our libraries. How long does it take to be served? How many touches does the patron get from us when they're outside the institution? How many of us incorporate news feeds? If you had a dollar, would you put it in content or service? (Our patrons would prefer we put it in service, by the way.)
Cathy's background is in marketing, so it's not surprising that she's passionate about the idea that we do a terrible job of marketing ourselves. (Not a newsflash.) She insisted that we need to do a better job of branding the library.
People are fond of libraries, but the libraries are those of their youth. What are we doing to make ourselves current and relevant? Do we make any effort to reinvent ourselves when necessary, while keeping our primary mission in mind?
To that end, the group was walking back to the parking garage when we were stopped short by a store we passed. We were confused by what we were seeing – the Geek Squad, a salon, chocolates, health items, a pharmacy, computers for public use, books….what was this place?
The place is EQ-Life. They're a wholly-owned subsidiary of Best Buy, though you don't find reference to that on either web site. But apparently the Best Buy folks did some research, found a market they weren't reaching, and decided to fill it. According to a story on MPR,
"Eq-life president Mike Marolt says the idea behind that formula is to provide a resource center for customers, and supply them with a wide array of products and services to address their health issues.
The store's technology offerings are geared toward this philosophy. They include such items as diabetes monitors, heart rate monitors, laptop computers and portable music players. "
This place was seriously cool. The staff was delightful, one and all. Tami, a stylist ("The Stylist", according to Tami) gave us a tour of the salon, tried to talk two of the group into massages (they'd never had one!) and was enthusiastic and welcoming. If we didn't live over an hour away, I'd be there daily. As it is, I may make a point of making the drive.
The ultimate guy store has made an effort to reach out to women. If this place is any indication, I can't imagine that it won't be successful.
So here's the connection, at least in my mind. We keep hearing that libraries may be in trouble, that people don't find us relevant, that we're nice and all that, but I can Google what I need, thank you. And presented with this information we….pout. Deny. Excuse.
Perhaps….just perhaps….we should take a serious look at reinventing ourselves. I'm not exactly sure what that would mean. Perhaps allowing and even embracing (gasp!) IM in the library. Perhaps it would be allowing the patrons to lead the collection development. Perhaps it would mean reaching out past our own little library boxes, connecting with other library boxes, and offering the world to our patrons. As Cathy reminded us, the world's libraries have over 16 Billion items to offer. That makes places like Amazon and Best Buy look like tiny operations.
If we ever decided to really join resources and work together, we'd be a force to be reckoned with. So why don't we?

Are your sins counted against you? When you come face to face with God will He see your sinful nature, will your sins condemn you? Going through life without a care in the world for your bad behaviour, your misdeeds to others will only lead to death. Wouldn't it be great if our sins could not be seen and we could be pure before our Creator? By accepting Jesus into our hearts we can have our sins wiped away for he paid the price for them on the cross.
Shirley Anne
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Best Policy (Psalm 130:1–8)
Have you ever noticed the boldness of David and of other composers of psalms? They courageously questioned God (see Psalm 89:46) and went so far as to boldly outline for him what in their view he needed to do (see Psalm 123:3). As people well versed in Israel's history, the songwriters, we might expect, would have kept silent when it came to questioning God's ways.
However, the psalmists "got away" with what they said because they expressed their feelings with honesty. They knew their own weaknesses and limitations and understood God's strength and power and majesty. They knew who they were and where they were. But they also knew God.
Here, the songwriter acknowledges his own state as being in "the depths." Whether this refers to a physical, emotional or spiritual place doesn't matter. He's honest enough to recognize his desperate situation and to cry out to God for help. Simply acknowledging our need is the first step down the pathway of redemption.
But what does the songwriter need? He realizes that if God were to keep a record of sin, the psalmist would certainly be lost. With his rhetorical question "Who could stand?" (Psalm 130:3), he anticipates the words of the New Testament: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). In almost the same breath as his admission of sinfulness, the songwriter honestly expresses who God is. With God "there is forgiveness . . . unfailing love . . . full redemption" (Psalm 130:4,7). Finally, the songwriter acknowledges God's promise that "he himself will redeem Israel from all their sins" (Psalm 130:8).
Perhaps the apostle Paul had the words of Psalm 130 in mind hundreds of years later when he wrote to the church at Colosse, "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in [ Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things" (Colossians 1:19–20).
Because of Christ we can be honest with ourselves: God comes to where we are to redeem who we are because of who he is.

Investigative journalist Margulis (co-author: The Baby Bonding Book for Dads, 2008, etc.) contends that corporate interests are putting the lives of mothers and children at risk in order to increase the bottom line.
"Most hospitals have a financial incentive to do as many interventions as possible and deliver women as quickly as possible," writes the author. The American medical profession ranks so poorly when it comes to maternal and infant mortality that mothers are four times more likely to die during pregnancy or in childbirth than in Bosnia; compared to Irish or Italian women, the death rate is seven times higher. Similar shocking statistics hold for children. The U.S. ranks 49th among industrialized nations regarding infant death rates. While recognizing the importance of factors such as the higher number of older American women pregnant with their first child, the use of fertility drugs leading to multiple births and lack of universal health care, Margulis focuses on the one-size-fits-all, high-end medical care offered to middle- and upper-income women despite their age, their ability to pay or their expressed preferences. To substantiate her charge that the medical system puts the interests of "large companies…ahead of the best interests of the mother and her baby," the author gives examples of women being warned off natural childbirth by obstetricians and urged instead to induce labor using hormones; or better yet, from the standpoint of doctors and hospitals, opt for a Caesarian section. Margulis also examines the claim that overuse of ultrasound to test fetal development and routine administration of megadose vaccinations may contribute to autism, and she finds fault with supplementary bottle-feeding and the overuse of diapers, which causes an unnecessary delay in potty training.
Somewhat extreme views that are nonetheless worthy of close consideration by parents.

(This item is subject to special postage, click here for more information.)
This splendid weapon is a typical German hunting accessory, complete with knife (on which there is a maker's mark) and fork in the top pocket of the scabbard. It is silver mounted with staghorn slab grips. There is a small silver punch on the nose of the frog stud.
The blade has chiselled engraving, as opposed to acid etched, and has a hunting dedication on one side, with the date 1762, and on the other a conventional scene of a stag hunt. Swords decorated in this style are virtually exclusive to Saxony in the middle of the 17th century.
It has its original scabbard, which is somewhat damaged, and the end of the scabbard mount is open, suggesting damage at some point or something missing. The counter guards are only present on one side, the other one having been broken off. The blade is approximately 23 inches long and there is, sadly, some old damage to the wood and leather work at the top of the scabbard.
These swords rarely appear in England - my guess is that this is probably loot from WW1 or possibly WW2.
