put your email and shipping info in at http://bit.ly/NElteb and follow the directions. Reblog so everyone else can do it too., before they fix the site and it doesn't work anymore. The early bird catches the, um, headphones., Lauren thought you would be interested in the following link http://bit.ly/NElteb
Kid Cudi stands in front of his full-length mirror. It is hanging on the back of his bedroom door, and the rumpled sheets of his bed— rumpled only by me, he thinks morosely— reflect behind him.
He takes a long drag off his joint, holding the smoke in his lungs while he turns and rests the joint on the edge of his dresser, the burning tip directly above a trash can.
"That's my secret," he says, staring into his reflection's eyes. Smoke filters out of his mouth with each word. "I'm always angry."
He exhales the remainder of the smoke.
Kid Cudi thinks about his life— his failures, his broken promises, his betrayals, his loneliness; he stares into his reflection's eyes and focuses on these dark parts of his life, lets the pain bubble to the surface, and lets himself feel truly angry.
Nothing happens.
His pain, his rage, does not become a conduit for strength and healing and acceptance. He simply feels sick. Sick and alone.
Tony Stark was wrong. Bruce Banner was wrong. He is nothing like them. He is not a hero.
Kid Cudi turns away from the mirror. He pushes his joint into the trash can and lets it burn down on its own. There will be more weed. There will be more money. There will be more loneliness.
He crawls into his self-rumpled sheets and does not sleep.
this owns so much

Can Career Testing Help You?
- Thursday, October 22, 2009
"I took a career test in high school, but I didn't get anything out of it."
"The test told me I should be a farmer, but I like working indoors!"
"I've got a whole file full of career tests I've taken on the Internet and I still don't know what I want to do!"
These are the type of responses we sometimes hear when we talk with people about the value of career testing. As career counselors, we have worked with many people who have taken career tests in the past and are still confused about which career direction to pursue. Their experiences -- and perhaps your own experience, as well -- raise this question: Can career testing really be helpful when you want to find work that fits your God-given design?
The answer is "Yes," but only if you know the truth about career tests. We know from first-hand experience with thousands of career changers and job seekers that career tests can be very helpful-if you can sort fiction from fact.
Fiction & Facts about Career Testing
MYTH #1: A career test will tell you which job is best for you.
Fact: No career test can tell you the one specific job you should do. When you consider that you are unique and complex, as well as that there are thousands of possible work options, you can see that it would be an impossible task for one test to assess all of the relevant factors.
Fact: Good career tests are very useful, however, in helping you identify which types of career options potentially fit your design. Career testing is not an end in itself; rather, it provides guidance in pinpointing career fields and jobs you should look into further (including ones you may previously have never considered). Your career test results can also be helpful in deciding which career will be the best choice for you by providing objective data you can use to compare options.
MYTH #2: All career tests are equally helpful.
Fact: There are many career tests, but they differ widely in accuracy and usefulness. How helpful a career inventory will be depends on its construction and research base, which affect its validity and reliability. Self-assessments (such as free career tests available on the Internet) are available to anyone, are simple and do not require interpretation by a trained counselor.
The more sophisticated (and helpful) professional standardized career tests, however, can only be purchased and used by qualified counselors and trainers. The reason for this is that the depth of information in these types of assessments requires explanation and interpretation for you to benefit fully. Professional career tests on interests, personality type, etc. will provide the most accurate results, and help you effectively connect your results with relevant career fields.
Fact: The value of a professional career test depends greatly on the skill of the counselor who interprets it for you. The test itself will have little value for you unless you understand what the test reveals, believe it is accurate, and know how to use the information you have gained. Over the years, we have had countless clients tell us, "I already took that test, and the counselor told me I should be a ___________." We can't know, of course, if the counselor literally told them that the career test pointed to just one career choice or if the person misunderstood what the counselor said. Unfornately, there are some well-intentioned but insufficiently trained people in schools and other settings who are unknowingly misinterpreting, misusing and misleading people when providing testing results. To get the most from professional career testing, make sure you have someone who is experienced and well-trained helping you understand and then utilize your results.

text: content March 28, 2008 High dose folate may protect against damage caused by heart attack An article published early online on March 24, 2008 in the journal Circulation reported the discovery by an international team of heart experts that giving a high dose of the B vitamin folic acid to rats provided a significant amount of protection against the damaging effects of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Johns Hopkins University cardiology research fellow An Moens, MD and colleagues pretreated rats with 10 milligrams folic acid per day or a placebo for one week prior to inducing myocardial infarction by coronary artery occlusion. After 30 minutes of ischemia, blood flow was restored. Rats treated with folic acid were found to have less myocardial dysfunction during ischemia and lower levels of damaging superoxide than those that received the placebo. While the amount of blood pumped by the hearts of the rats that received the placebo, measured as ejection fraction, dropped to 27 percent during the simulated heart attacks, it remained close to normal for those that received folic acid, at an average 73 percent. The treated animals also had smaller areas of tissue death (infarcts), which averaged less than 10 percent of the size of those observed in the control group. In a separate experiment, intravenous injection of folic acid within the first ten minutes of induced heart attack was found to be nearly as effective as pretreatment with the vitamin. Folate is involved in maintaining normal mitochondrial function, which is needed for healthy blood vessels. Dr Moens explained that the current study's numerous findings suggest that folate acts as a cardiac energy reserve, "providing much needed energy for muscle contraction, in the form of ATP, at the same time the heart is being starved for oxygen-carrying blood by a blocked artery." "In future, we might just pop in an I.V., and give people high-dose folate while they are waiting for their catheterization or CT scans to search for blockages," he said. "We want to emphasize that it is premature for people to begin taking high doses of folic acid," said senior study investigator David Kass, MD of Johns Hopkins. "But if human studies prove equally effective, then high-dose folate could be given to high-risk groups to guard against possible heart attack or to people while they are having one." "Folic acid is already well known to be safe to consume in high doses in the short term, and it is very inexpensive, costing pennies per milligram, so its prospects look promising," he concluded. Coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is a far-reaching disease with devastating consequences. Life Extension's program for reducing the risk associated with atherosclerosis is based on aggressive measures to promote a healthy endothelium and reduce risk factors associated with coronary artery disease. Because all adults are at risk of atherosclerosis, all adults should make the necessary lifestyle changes to protect their arteries. This means getting adequate exercise under the supervision of a physician and eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat. Also, weight loss by obese and overweight adults is an important element in reducing risk of atherosclerosis. The following nutrients have been shown to improve endothelial function and reduce the damage caused by oxidized LDL, slowing the progression of atherosclerosis: Folic acid—800 to 5000 micrograms (mcg) daily Vitamin B12—300 to 2000 mcg daily EPA and DHA—1400 milligrams (mg) EPA and 1000 mg DHA daily PLC—1000 to 2000 mg daily L-arginine——3000 to 12,000 mg daily (in 3 divided doses) Lipoic acid—150 to 300 mg daily Garlic—1200 mg daily (Kyolic aged garlic extract) Ginkgo biloba— 120 mg daily Green tea extract—725 mg daily (93 percent polyphenols) Quercetin—500 to 1000 mg daily (water-soluble quercetin) Vitamin C—1000 to 3000 mg daily Vitamin E—400 international units (IU) daily (with 200 mg gamma tocopherol) Vitamin K—10 mg daily Vitamin B6—100 to 750 mg daily Skin Care Sale Since 1980, Life Extension has been at the forefront in identifying novel and innovative antiaging therapies. Aging first displays its outward signs on the skin. Now, help combat skin aging with our exciting range of skin care products that are years ahead of the commercial cosmetics industry! With Spring approaching, now is the time to stock up on your favorite skin care products. With the sunny days ahead, help protect your skin from aging, plus SAVE 60% - 70% on breakthrough products. Try some of our exciting skin care products today while they're on sale! Offer expires May 19, 2008. http://www.lef.org/skin/ Super Booster Softgels A new biologically active form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-7 has been added to provide improved vitamin K function. Menaquinone-7 is not metabolized quickly by the liver, so only small amounts are needed to make osteocalcin, the protein that directs calcium into the bones instead of being left in the blood to calcify arteries. Pomegranate Extract Capsules Published scientific studies document that humans who eat the most fruits and vegetables have much lower incidences of health problems. Few people, however, consistently eat enough plant foods to protect against common age-related decline. Consumers take dietary supplements to obtain concentrated doses of some of the beneficial nutrients (such as folic acid) that are found in fruits and vegetables. Commercial multivitamins, however, do not provide all the vital plant components that scientists have found are needed to maintain good health.

Music of New Jersey
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009)
The American state of New Jersey is located in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic region.
|Music of the United States
Official symbols[edit]
New Jersey does not have a state song.[1][2]
The square dance is "the American Folk Dance of the State of New Jersey".[3]
Native American music[edit]
The Lenape people were the Native American groups that lived in what is now New Jersey and surrounding areas to the north, south, and west for thousands of years. Social tribal songs were often named after things such as animals, other tribes or groups, and even food. These songs were performed in groups and were usually not long. However, the performances and dancing would linger. A significant amount of this part of Lenape culture was lost as Dutch and later British settlers moved into the region and pushed the Lenape west. Eventually the U.S. Government resettled the majority of the Lenape in Oklahoma.
The Ramapough Mountain Indians and the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape are Lenape descendants that are recognized as tribes by the State of New Jersey, but not the U.S. Government. The Powhatan Renape Nation are descendants of the Powhatan people of Virginia. A group of the Powhatan migrated to present day southern New Jersey and are recognized as a tribe by the New Jersey, but not Federal, government.
Classical and Opera music[edit]
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, based at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the New Jersey State Opera, The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey, and the New Jersey Ballet are all located in the Newark area.

Folk and Bluegrass Music[edit]
The Folk and Bluegrass scene in New Jersey consists of performances at festivals and small venues throughout the Garden State, mostly in small cities and college towns with more active music scenes. Some of these towns and cities are Montclair, Hoboken, New Brunswick, and Princeton.
There is little information about early folk music in New Jersey. One of the more documented regions for early folk music in the colonial era is from the Pine Barrens and shore regions of southern New Jersey. It was there, in the sandy, dense forests and small shore towns, that the earliest settlers played musical elements of their home countries as well as sang stories of the new land they called home. Some examples ranged from Scots/Irish fiddle tunes to Yiddish and Lithuanian songs. It was in this region that stories were sung and legends like the Jersey Devil were born.
Various workshops, music development institutions, and festivals throughout New Jersey have celebrated folk and bluegrass music for decades. The Folk Project has hosted many folk music singers in the past years including; Richard Shindell, Bob Franke, and Odetta. The New Jersey Folk Festival is held every year at Rutgers University, celebrating a variety of artists, both nationally or locally known.

Hard Rock and Heavy Metal[edit]
The Hard Rock and Metal scene in New Jersey consists of basement shows and small venue performances scattered throughout the state. In the past, local bands had the support from New Jersey commercial and college radio.
Pop-metal group Bon Jovi has been one of the most popular bands in the world since the mid-1980s. Beginning in the 1990s, Bon Jovi has experimented with other genres, such as country rock. Skid Row is a New Jersey-based heavy-metal band formed in the mid-1980s and reached the height of its success in the early 1990s. Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, is a Canadian singer who has lived in New Jersey for almost two decades and has fronted several bands since his departure from Skid Row. Since the early 1980s, the New Jersey bands Overkill and Hades have been recording and performing thrash metal around the world.

This group would encourage bands, who were touring the area, to stay at their homes when they were in town for a gig. Some of these bands included Slayer, Metallica, Anvil, and Motorhead. The militia would get these bands to play at parties in their basements. The Old Bridge Metal Militia were even immortalized in song. The Megaforce compilation Born to Metalize has a track called "One Night in Old Bridge," while Blessed Death had a song called "Knights of Old Bridge".

Like the later music of the Misfits, Adrenalin O.D. is usually credited with igniting the early N.J. hardcore scene at the dawn of the 1980s. Among those early hardcore bands was Rosemary's Babies. This band was from Lodi as well, and included as drummer Eerie Von, who was to become bassist for both Samhain and Danzig.

In the late 70's/early 80's the Shore Core Punk rock scene evolved at the Jersey Shore, with its epicenter in Long Branch & Asbury Park. It featured a number of bands on "Mutha Records" including Chronic Sick, Public Disturbance, Fatal Rage, The Worst, Dirge and other local bands - Mutha made "the Hot Dog House" in Asbury Park their home base. The Shore also produced the band Shrapnel which featured Dave Wyndorf, Phil Caivano of Monster Magnet and Daniel Rey Rabinowitz.

Here at NewsBlur HQ, we love greeting each new day by seeing what everyone posts on their blurblogs, but we understand that not everyone might want to have their reading preferences broadcast to the public (or have the public broadcast its opinions on said preferences). So we're introducing a special new service for premium account holders that allows you to protect your posts from prying eyes.
Just click the little sprocket in the bottom left of your dashboard and select "Profile & Blurblog," where you'll be given one of three options:
Go forth and privatize! It'll be our little secret, at least until we discover that one of you is having an affair with your biographer.
There are lots of reasons not to post a cool article you've seen to your blurblog. Maybe you already follow too many blogs, and don't have room to add any more to your feed (in which case, may we humbly recommend a Premium account?) Maybe you don't want everyone to know just how crazy you've gotten about jai-alai or aerotrekking or My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Or maybe you found a cool article on Facebook or Twitter or through an e-mail from a friend, and don't want to go through the hassle of adding the site's whole feed to your NewsBlur dashboard just to post one piece.
That's what the NewsBlur bookmarklet tool is for. Whether it's a great article from a site that you don't like enough to follow regularly, or a first glimpse at an intriguing new site, the bookmarklet makes it easy to post anything you find around the Web to your blurblog.
Setting up the bookmarklet tool is easy: Click on the little sprocket in the bottom left of your dashboard, and choose "Goodies & Extras" from the menu. You'll see "Add Site & Share Story Bookmarklet," and next to that, a button that says "Share on NewsBlur." Drag the button to the Bookmarks Bar in your browser, and you're in business.
The next time you see an article that strikes your fancy, just click the bookmarklet and the NewsBlur window will open. (If you click it by accident or decide you don't want to share, just click anywhere outside of the box, and you'll be back where you started.) The bookmarklet automatically selects all text on a page by default, but if you only want to blog a certain chunk of a story, just highlight it beforehand, and it'll appear solo in the box.
You can also type within the box to edit the headline and text or delete any extraneous junk that may have wandered in. Add a comment of your own, click "Share This Story," and you're on your way. It's frankly almost too easy, so be sure you're in the right browser tab when you launch it— Allie once accidentally posted the contents of her Gmail inbox to her blurblog when she wasn't paying attention. If any of you happened to be on there in those two minutes, she hopes you enjoyed the sneak peek into her darkest secrets, like all the books she has on hold at the library.
Using the bookmarklet is awesome and makes NewsBlur's content (and by extension, the Popular blog) far more interesting and diverse, so get out there and drag back the best of the Web to share with your fellow users. As Richard Marx would put it: Wherever you go, whatever you do (on the Internet, at least), the NewsBlur bookmarklet will be right here waiting for you.

Comments about Lasko® Pedestal Fan (2526):
I was really surprised at how powerfull this fan is, even on the lowest of three settings. I would have liked a lower setting to just circulate the air rather than getting "blown away"! And, even on it's lowest setting it is pretty loud.
That being said, I still gave it 4 stars, because it is on a really good sturdy base,seems to be well made,it's attractive looking, made in the USA, and can clear out the room of cigarette smoke in less than a minute!
I am very pleased with this fan and would definately recomend it.

I agree. Even as a dedicated horde player, I have always had a soft spot for Varian. He needs to be more active and run around and slay Orcs all day just like Garrosh does with humans. He has so much heroic potential, its really disappointing that he just sits in Strormwind. I think a duel between Varian and Garrosh would be awesome during a quest chain. Lets hope the Devs can deliver.

WEEK 6 – Pushing to New Levels
Ok, so that's a weak title for the week six update, but what a week of training it has been.
I took most of the early part of the week off to recover from the 32 miles I logged at the Hot to Trot 8-hour race the previous Saturday. By Wednesday, I felt better but still had a large, nagging blister that made it almost impossible to wear shoes. So what do I do? Why, run barefoot, of course!
Wednesday, I logged two miles, at a decent clip, barefoot on the asphalt. You should have seen the looks from the mini-van moms and tie-guys on their way to work. Here's this guy, sun-burnt from Saturday, running through the neighborhood with his dogs and without his shoes. I'm sure I made for some lively conversation in the Amberfield neighborhood.
But the highlight of the week was the Laurel Valley White Water Run on Saturday, a "somewhere-around-40-miles" trek through the Foothills of South Carolina. I can't possibly do Saturday's experience justice in this weekly update. You'll have to read my Laural Valley race report for yourself. I will tell you this – the run now ranks as the most physically demanding thing I have ever done in my life …but more than that, was the emotional and spiritual experience that accompanied that endurance effort. Give it a read, and please let me know your thoughts…
And, as I always mention, please don't forget the kids in which I am trying to help through my running efforts. I'm not kidding when I say even a five spot, the price of Venti Latte at Starbucks, can make a difference.
Onward and upward…

Vandals are leaving their mark on Virginia College in Homewood and it's more than just an annoyance; it's frightening students.
"We hear the pounding on the glass," Timothy Murphy said.
Murphy, a cosmotology student, says two weeks ago his class was interrupted for the first time by that pounding, scaring students out of their seats.
"It sounds like real bullets. Everyone just hitting the deck or running. I got under a counter. Afterwards we learned it was a paintball," Murphy said.
And it's happened two more times since then. Someone is driving by the school at night and shooting a paintball gun at the doors and windows of the Student Cosmotology Services of Virginia College.
The mess has been cleaned up each time, but there's still some evidence left behind. The impact of one pellet left a small tear in the plastic on a sign. It could be some pranksters, but the students don't think it's funny.
"It's not funny. It's disturbing to me, it's very frightening with all the things going on at different schools," Murphy said.
"It's just kind of a quick thing. They're speeding out of the parking lot," Campus President Chris Moore said.
Moore says although somone may be doing this as a joke, he's taking it seriously. The school is taking precautions to catch whoever is behind this.
"We can't take anything too lightly. The most important thing is we are concerned, as always, for our student's and staff's safety," Moore said.
The school has hired more police officers and security guards to patrol the campus. Unfortunately for Murphy that isn't enough. He's left uneasy and wondering what the drive-by vandals will do next.
"Who's to say they won't get bored with that and try something more sinister," Murphy said.
Moore says he's working with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Birmingham Police to catch the vandals. There's a lot of extra security on the campus and Moore believes it's a matter of time before someone is caught.

NEW ROADS, La. (AP) — The City Council has approved a five-year contract with Republic Services for residential trash pickup that is expected to cut monthly fees for the city's 1,800 customers by 50 cents.
As part of the deal for twice-a-week collection, which was approved this past week, New Roads residents will have recycling service available and receive 95-gallon trash bins at no additional charge.
The Advocate reported (http://bit.ly/1hiKN4k) the bins will be delivered to residences starting around the beginning of February.
The City Council approved the contract, which is effective March 1, about four months after informing the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury that the city was opting out of its five-year contract with Progressive Waste Solutions.
Mayor Robert Myer has said he was confident the city could secure a cheaper rate and provide more services, including recycling.
He said the city received three proposals for trash service. He recommended Republic Services to the council.
"We hope this puts to rest any science fiction out there that we'd charge our residents more money to do this," Myer said.

The Status of Captive Wild Animals in the U.S.: An Overview of the Problem and the Laws
I. Introduction
Imagine being chained to a tree in a backyard for three months, with little food or water, and no hope for someone to find you ... or imagine weighing half the size of your normal body weight, suffering from severe malnutrition and anemia, calcium deficiency and numerous stress fractures ... or worse yet, being beaten repeatedly with a stick until your hide bleeds.
This is obviously not one's ideal living situation — in a civilized society humans are not tied-up, unable to move freely about, deprived of necessary food and sustenance, nor do we live in cages while being forced to learn unnatural tricks to entertain the general public. The sad reality is that this is the life for thousands of captive wild animals in the United States.
In this article, I will give a brief overview of where captive wild animals are in the United States, how they are proliferating, and who owns them. In addition, I will review major federal, state and local laws that cover captive wild animals in the United States. This discussion will be broad based and outline the general federal laws that extend some type of protection to captive wild animals and then discuss specifically the state and local laws that govern private possession, roadside menageries, circuses and traveling shows. Lastly, this article will discuss the lack of enforcement of the current laws and the future trends to help captive wild animals in the United States.

GALVESTON, Texas – Police say a mother drove her car into a bayou with her 6-month-old son in the back seat. Four teenagers fishing jumped in to save her.
Nathan Reyna, Tyler Arcizo, Byron Bledsoe, and Matt Guzman were fishing at Washington Park when they noticed a woman driving her car into Offatts Bayou. It was all caught on cell phone video.
"We heard several clanks, and we saw a car going in slowly but surely into the ocean," said Nathan Reyna, who helped save the mother and baby. Screaming can be heard in the cell phone video: "Get out, she has a baby, she has a baby."
Everyone started to panic, but 19-year-old Arcizo risked his own life.
"Once the car was tipping, you see the car seat for the baby tip over. My friend was like there is a baby, there is a baby," said Arcizo, who jumped in the water.
In the cell phone video, you can hear the rescuers yell at the woman: "He's underwater, he's underwater. Hold him up, hold him up. Hey, don't worry about yourself. Worry about your baby, your baby is underwater."
Galveston Police said 31-year-old Latonya Kirven didn't want to rescued. Investigators said Kirven was drunk with the 6-month-old baby boy in the car.
"I was struggling with her to get the baby from her. She wouldn't give him up. She kept pulling him from me and putting him under water," Arcizo said. "I lift him up a little bit and one of my friends got a hold of him. And she was holding on to the other arm. And he kind of got stuck and you don't want to tug on a baby and dislocate his leg or anything."
Witnesses said after the baby was rescued, Kirven started doing the back stroke and took off her clothes.
"Once I got on shore, we looked and see this lady, at first she was struggling. Like she didn't know how to swim or she was panicking. Once everyone was away from her she just was back stroking in the water and was taking her clothes off," Arcizo said. "She was acting crazy. It wasn't normal. She's in jail. That's where she needs to be honestly. I have nothing else to say to her. I don't even know the lady. She needs to stay where she is at."
Arcizo lost some of his belongings, but he's OK with that.
"I lost the keys to my Camaro in the water, and my wallet. No big deal, it's alright. Just glad the baby is safe, that's all that matters," Arcizo said.
"She seemed like nothing happened, no emotion," Reyna said.
Minutes before this, Kirven got into an argument with someone, police said. Then hit a 70-year-old man, who is in critical condition.
At the end of the day, Galveston's Police Chief Henry Porretto said:
"Would like to commend those bystanders who risked their own safety to enter the water to rescue the child and attempt to rescue the driver. Their actions were truly heroic."
Kirven has been charged with attempted captital murder. She is also charged with driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle and aggravated assault with deadly weapon, court records state. She is being held on bonds totaling $250,000.

About us
EMPR® Australia was established in 1997 with it's Head Office in Sydney, New South Wales. As of January 2014, EMPR secured new premises in Melbourne, Victoria with a new office and warehouse.
EMPR has grown rapidly since its inception to become a major computer hardware supplier to all sectors including Government, Businesses and Home Users. Our products are marketed throughout Australasia via several means with the biggest being our e-commerce platforms. We have built our team with the right people who take a hands-on approach to providing the best service.
Head Office: Sydney, New South Wales
In June 2005, we moved from our Moorebank location to brand new and larger premises at Wetherill Park. The company wanted to make the facility comfortable and fun for our employees and visitors alike.
Once this location was agreed upon, our attention soon turned to the fit out of the new facility. The developer would deliver us an empty shell that lacked the flair and scope that was sort from the onset. After a lengthy search, the company engaged Louis De Silva from Working Environments in Sydney's Trendy Leichhardt district who soon gained our attention through the use of different design concepts for the facility. These were fresh and colourful and were exactly what the company was looking for.
One of our main points in the design was to ensure that our most valuable assets; our staff were well taken care of. With this point in mind we had a stylish lunch room designed with modern stainless steel appliances installed including automatic expresso machine, a vending machine and a TV to help the staff to relax during breaks and after-hours. We also had a chillout room designed on the 1st floor which incorporates a funky curved orange wall, a small kitchenette, TV with DVD player along with comfortable foofs (relaxed seating) to sit on. The chillout room also leads out onto a spacious balcony for staff gathering or for people just to enjoy some fresh air. The other areas within the facility were given just as much thought with all being fitted out perfectly. top
Melbourne, Victoria
In January 2014, in the spirit of delivering exceptional customer support, EMPR expanded into a new Melbourne Facility in February 2014 to create an improved level of service and experience for all Australian based customers.
The team at EMPR worked extremely hard throughout the last half of 2013 and beginning of 2014 to get the project off the ground in time for the 'go live' date of February 10 2014. The expansion into Melbourne has allowed for a larger holding of stock inventory, faster lead times for our Australia based customers especially those based in VIC, SA, TAS and WA.
The company engaged to work on the design of EMPR in Melbourne was Icon Interiors. Both Gavin and Bridget from Icon Interiors worked tirelessly to consult, design and manage the build of the facility from inception to date. We are very happy with the end result and are eager to get our new Brisbane facility off the ground.
