Expetec Technology Services eyes adding new locations
Thursday, March 13, 2014
IT firm Expetec Technology Services suffered a hit to its bottom line when businesses put off technology upgrades during the down economy.
Now that it's back up, the Troy-based firm is experiencing a spike in sales. Expetect Technology Services has watched its sales increase 27.5 percent in the last year thanks to organic growth from companies looking to upgrade their IT systems. Think everyday businesses looking to upgrade from a Windows XP platform.
"We're getting a lot of calls for that," says Michael St. John, vice president of sales & marketing for
Expetec Technology Services
The 19-year-old firm has hired three people in tech support and sales in the last year. It now has a staff of nine employees. The firm is also looking at adding another location in the Livonia/Ann Arbor area so it can be closer to its customers when their IT infrastructure starts to go down. It is also considering an expansion into Grand Rapids and Lansing to be closer to its clientele.
"It gives us a quicker response time for our customers," St. John says.

Highway Media transitions to more web video work
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Video production has made a dramatic change in recent years and Highway Media has been there to reap some of those rewards.
The Canton-based video-production firm has enjoyed a 10-percent bump in its revenue over the last two years as it transitions from doing video work for DVDs to online videos. Mark Salloum, producer/director for
Highway Media
points out that online videos play a significant role in helping websites reach the top of Internet searches and keeping surfers engaged for longer.
"The power of video has become the most impactful medium in the world," Salloum says.
Most of Highway Media's clients fall into two categories, Salloum explains. A lot of industrial shops are looking for short videos explaining what sets them apart. There are also many medical professionals in need of videos that explain the niche of their practices, such as fertilization clinics. He adds that they want a professional look that tells a compelling story.
"That's why they're hiring us," Salloum says.
The increase in business has allowed Highway Media to add two employees to its core team of 12. The firm is also planning to bring on an intern this spring.
"We're projecting a dramatic growth, 30-40 percent, in the next two years," Salloum says.

Tanner Friedman PR firm grows on recurring client work
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Tanner Friedman Strategic Communications is one of those companies that doesn't measure its success by the number of new clients it attracts, but by the clients it keeps in its fold.
The Farmington Hills-based public relations agency has enjoyed double-digit revenue growth over the last year thanks primarily to increased work from existing clients.
"That's where we prefer growth to come from," says Matt Friedman, partner at
Tanner Friedman Strategic Communications
. "We like new clients and are happy to add them. But it's the best testament to our work and our growth when a client says, 'We want you to do more work for us.'"
The agency enjoyed a small spike in its crisis communications work in the fourth quarter of last year, but its bread and butter came down to three core industries: privately owned businesses, professional services and non-profits. Those three areas have allowed the firm to triple in size since its launch seven years ago.
"These are the types of clients that really need us," Friedman says. "We are closer to a need-to-have than a nice-to-have with them."
Tanner Friedman Strategic Communications has added another person to its staff, rounding it out to eight employees. The hire, a former intern, is an account coordinator. The firm also has six independent contractors and plans to bring on two interns this summer.
"We grow when it makes sense," Friedman says. "We want to add people when we have the work to justify it."

Oakland Energy & Water Ventures fund launches in Farmington Hills
Thursday, March 06, 2014
A new second-stage investment fund is launching in Farmington Hills. Oakland Energy & Water Ventures will specialize in making investments in the clean energy and water spaces.
"We look at opportunities up to $100 million," says Chris Brower, managing director of
Oakland Energy & Water Ventures
Brower adds that the fund, which is made up of three partners, is flexible when it comes to what type of deals it is looking to do. Among them are joint ventures, partnerships, license agreements, and collaborations. The main things Oakland Energy & Water Ventures is looking for are patented technologies that are ready to scale.
"We're a bit more simplistic," Brower says. "We're looking for proof-of-concept technologies. That is our focus."
Brower says there are a couple of potential deals in the works but the firm isn't ready to make an announcement yet. He adds that the company is focusing on clean energy and water plays because of global macro trends that are spiking demand for both clean energy and water to accommodate the growing world population.

Dart Appraisal sets stage for growth with 14 new hires
Thursday, March 06, 2014
Dart Appraisal began to see some of its business pick up in the last few months. Last month new business for the real-estate appraisal firm consisted of 27 percent of its revenue.
"These were in the works for some time," says Darton Case, president of
Dart Appraisal
. "These were some big deals." He says those deals were made up primarily of five large clients.
The Troy-based company handles appraisal work for real-estate foreclosures, purchases and refinancing. It employs 43 people and is looking to add summer interns. The firm hired 14 people in the last year (some of whom were replacement hires) and currently has openings for seven positions in operations and sales.
Dart Appraisal, formerly DartAppraisal.com, moved into a larger office in Troy a little more than a year to accommodate its growth. The firm's new space is twice as large as its previous office. It is currently aiming to continue growing in 2014 as it keeps doing large amounts of work with a variety of customers, including homebuilders, modular home companies, wholesale mortgage firms and HUD housing.
"We are in the core business of about a dozen strategic platforms," Case says.

Innovative Learning Group celebrates 10 years this month
Thursday, March 06, 2014
Most businesses don't live to see three years. Many more don't make it to five years. Innovative Learning Group is celebrating birthday No. 10 this month.
The downtown Royal Oak-based firm doesn't dwell on what has changed over the last decade. Its team of 13 people focus on what has stayed the same in that time: "Our great culture and focus on clients," says Lisa Toenniges, CEO of
Innovative Learning Group
. "What happened over the last 10 years is we managed to keep pace with technology as it changed."
Innovative Learning Group
is a business consultancy that specializes in training and human performance improvement for businesses. It develops learning strategies, curriculum architectures, and implements/evaluates these learning solutions. The firm has done this primarily with digital solutions and it is pivoting its services more toward the mobile realm in 2014.
"What we always care about is steady, profitable growth," Toenniges says. "We aim for 15 percent year over year."
That has allowed Innovative Learning Group to hire two people in January. Those new jobs are in performance consulting and media development.
"Over the coming year we will probably hire several people," Toenniges says.

Startgrid online portal to foster entrepreneurial collaboration
Thursday, March 06, 2014
Local leaders often talk about the strengths of Metro Detroit's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Everything from local business accelerators to university programs are talking points they love to tick off in speeches. Meet Startgrid, the
Detroit Regional Chamber's
latest effort to connect those entrepreneurial dots.

Woodward Asset Capital acquires Homesource Realtors
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Woodward Asset Capital has acquired Homesource Realtors with the idea of growing not as a real-estate brokerage, but as a technology firm.
The Southfield-based firm has developed a software platform called OfferSubmission that aims to sell properties faster and for maximum value. The seven-year-old company sees
Homesource Realtors
as the outlet for that platform.
"As the default market has changed we see an opportunity to disrupt the market with our technology," says Ron Jasgur, president of
Woodward Asset Capital
The first step was acquiring the real-estate brokerage. The second was rebranding it as
. The third, rebuilding the rebranded brokerage around the software platform that focuses on the seller experience.
Seller Nation's
platform focuses on the seller side of the transaction. The idea is to bring in as many offers as quickly as possible. "It allows us to receive multiple offers and negotiate with them instead of waiting for offers to come in one at a time," Jasgur says.
Homesource made a name for itself as a discount brokerage. Jasgur is moving SellerNation away from that. "It really doesn't fit into what we do," Jasgur says. He expects to roll out SellerNation across the country over the next 24 months.
Woodward Asset Capital currently employs 11 people. It has hired two more in customer service in the last year, and he sees more job postings in the company's near future.
"With this acquisition we expect to hire another 6-8 in the next few months," Jasgur says.

Evans Distribution Systems adds 60 hires in Michigan
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Evans Distribution Systems is growing the size of its workforce in Michigan as the logistics firm continues to move toward a more diversified clientele.
"We will continue to grow in other industries outside of automotive, like wine-and-spirits and electronics," says Derek Byrd, marketing & inside sales manager for
Evans Distribution Systems
The Melvindale-based firm specializes in full service third-party logistics. Among the services it offers are warehousing, transportation and staffing. It is celebrating its 85 birthday this year, and has grown its business to include 30 operations in 10 different states. It employs about 500 people, including about 60 new employees over the last year.
Evans Distribution Systems has watched its warehousing and transportation divisions lead the charge for growth. It recently expanded its Romulus warehouse facility to 200,000 square feet.
The firm has seen its biggest bump from transportation services. That division now makes up 40 percent of the company's bottom line, up from 20 percent in recent years. The firm has achieved that by expanding the number of industries it services, adding more business from the likes of automotive, electronics, recycling and food & beverage industries.
"We will put more emphasis on transportation management," Byrd says. "We really want to grow the transportation side."

jacAPPS expands under new COO's leadership
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Bob Kernen landed as the new COO of jacAPPS last summer, and has worked to grow the mobile app company since then. But getting him to join the Bingham Farms-based firm didn't happen as quickly.
"I had been talking to Paul and Fred for a year and a half," Kernen says. "What they're doing is really exciting. Their reputations are platinum and they're great to work with."
So it wasn't that tough of a decision when they approached Kernen, a Metro Detroit native, about coming back to the region to run
. Kernen had lived on both coasts and saw the growing tech economy that was changing Metro Detroit and wanted to be part of it.
The 4-year-old company specializes in making mobile apps for a variety of big players in different industries. It makes apps for radio stations, Ford and
McLaren Hospitals
. That work has allowed jacAPPS to hire three people over the last year, including a software developer, a client services manager and Kernen.
"We're growing like crazy," Kernen says. "It's very exciting."
The company now has a staff of eight employees and one intern. It is looking to add another intern or two soon. The staff recently moved from Southfield to a a 5,000-square-foot office in Bingham Farms.

Total Quality Logistics opens 13-person office in Troy
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Total Quality Logistics opened up its 23rd office in the U.S. earlier this month, adding 13 new jobs in Troy.
The Cincinnati-based firm is one of the largest freight brokerage firms in the country. It employs 2,500 people in 12 states across the U.S. Last year it helped move 815,000 loads of freight and posted sales of more than $1.6 billion. It sees a significant opportunity in Metro Detroit.
"The work we do we can do anywhere," says Kerry Byrne, executive vice president of
Total Quality Logistics
. "The location is important so we can attract quality talent. It's really the region that attracted us."
Total Quality Logistics doesn't have a goal for how big it wants to grow the office, but Byrne provides some encouraging examples. Its first office in Chicago opened five years ago and employs more than 100 people today. Its Tampa Bay office opened four years ago and also has over 100 employees.
"It really depends on our ability to attract talented individuals," Byrne says, adding that Total Quality Logistics is looking for driven, competitive sales people. For information on its open positions, click

Grand Angels sinks seed capital into ProNAi Therapeutics
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Grand Angels is reaching across the Great Lakes State to plunk down some serious seed capital for one of Metro Detroit's promising startups.
The Grand Rapids-based angel investor group has invested in
ProNAi Therapeutics
. The Plymouth-based biotech startup is developing a novel and proprietary DNAi drug technology platform to help fight cancer. It has enjoyed recent success with safely treating Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients in clinical trials.
The group has also invested in Ann Arbor-based
Local Orbit
, which is developing software that helps connect food producers (think farmers, co-ops and farmers markets) with grocers, restaurants and other eateries.
"Our applicants are roughly split between each side of the state," says Jody Vanderwel, president of
Grand Angels
. "We even have some from the northern part of the state."
Grand Angels launched a decade ago with the idea of focusing its investment on startups in the Grand Rapids area. Within a few years it expanded that focus to include the entire state of Michigan to enhance its deal flow. It started adding more members after making that decision, and now adds 3-4 new angel investors each year. The current membership stands at 48 high-net-worth individuals.

Benzinga adds financial products, 5 new employees
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Benzinga is growing in more than just a few ways these days. The Southfield-based startup is adding more products to diversify its revenue, hiring staff and possibly looking for a new home later this year.
Benzinga, which will turn four years-old in May, got its start providing financial news with a twist, adding ideas that stock market day traders and other investors can use to profit from the day's headlines. It quickly locked down $2 million worth of seed capital from
, the venture capital firm founded by Groupon's co-founders. That enabled Benzinga to grow its staff and services. It's not just a publication anymore. Think of it more as a technology company.
"We're a very flat organization," says Jason Raznick, CEO of
. "I gave a
TEDx speech
about a madeup word called Doarchy."
Combine the word "do" and "hierarchy" and you'll have an idea about what Raznick is talking about. Benzinga empowers its employees to turn their passions into businesses and revenue streams. That means today Benzinga's main three revenue streams come from subscriptions to its news service, licensing the software it creates and
, which is a financial education platform.
"What we're really great at is creating something from nothing,"
Raznick says
. "Marketfy didn't exist a year ago. Now it's generating crazy revenue."
Those sorts of innovations come from
staff of 27 employees and five interns. It has hired five people in the last year, including a new COO and software developers. There are four openings for software developers, marketing professionals and UIX designers.
Raznick is also looking to bring in more talent with roots in Michigan who are looking to move back to the Great Lakes State. To help accomplish that he is considering moving his company when the lease to its current home is up this summer. He is thinking about downtown Detroit or downtown Ann Arbor to help make it easier to attract young, technology-inclined talent.
"We're not sure what we're going to do," Raznick says. "We need a cool environment."

My experience was great. Nothing I can complain about at all, at the time of my procedure anyway. My physician was Dr. Eugene Smith. He was amazing. Very nice, very caring and extremely professional. I went into having the procedure knowing that there was a chance I would likely have to have an adjustment within 10-15 years (you are not told this during your consultation but the day of surgery). The worst part of my entire experience was the dry eye following the lasik procedure. They will write prescription for antibiotic eye-drops as a precaution and something for dry eye but it wasn't much help at all. After about my 4th day everything was at 100% and my vision was MUCH improved. I went from seeing 20/80 with very bad astigmatism to 20/15 and clear as I had ever seen in my life.
I have had, however, somewhat negative experiences post procedure. I knew as of May 2012 an adjustment was immanent. With a busy life being mom to 5 kids getting in for an office visit took a backseat. I was still seeing very well with the exception of some near nearsightedness and poor night vision(the night vision was an issue since the surgery). We learned we'd be moving(3 hours away) in May 2013 so as of January 2013 I began calling to schedule an evaluation so I could schedule my adjustment. I was told then the soonest I could be scheduled was JUNE!! This was after my move! I even explained my situation but the staff was completely unsympathetic to it. Not only was the soonest available appointment supposedly 6 months away, that was only for an exam, i'd have to return again for the actual procedure/adjustment. Funny, when I was calling and inquiring about first having Lasik, they were able to get me in within a week and my procedure was done 2 weeks later. I'd say the customer service is definitely lacking. I have now had to have the exam done here in the town where i've moved and called to schedule the review of my results and hopefully my adjustment. I was then told there was no guarantee they'd even do my procedure at the same appointment, completely unconcerned with the fact I was 3 hours away now and not able to make this trip twice. The entire reason for returning to Dr. Smith was because Lasik Plus offers free lifetime adjustments. A lot of good that does me with the closest office being 3 hours away and in no way willing to help figure something else out....So now I have come to the conclusion that I will just repay to have the procedure done again, here locally, and never have to deal with Lasik Plus again.

Hi there, welcome!
Sorry you've had such problems with customer service! Hopefully your next place will be better. Make sure you research them and what their aftercare is like! :-)

Dr. Eugene Smith was great. He really seemed to be very concerned about my well being. I'm sorry to say the rest of his staff didn't follow suit. They could learn a thing or two from him when it comes to caring for the patients/customer service.

That adorable little imp Fievel Mousekewitz is back (An American Tail, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West). Plucky and determined, Fievel sets out on a quest for buried treasure, located under old New York City, where he and his family happily reside (although his sometimes-cranky father is a workaholic). Underground, Fievel meets a clandestine civilization of Native American mice, with a sweet little gal reminiscent of Pocahontas to provide a little romance to boot. This may be a direct-to-video offering, but the quality is topnotch--animation is rich and lush, and the original tunes are fun and catchy. Moreover, the movie stresses such welcome notions as loyalty, family, affection, friendship, honesty, and honor. There's even a modest but effectively put message about who really belongs in America. Dom DeLuise, Party of Five's Lacey Chabert, and David Carradine lend their voices to the production. (Ages 2 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

On Big Cocks Sex, the theme is as obvious as the nose on your face, especially if your schnoz is as large an organ as some of the schlongs here are. You will see chicks' pussies, mouths and even asses stretched to the max by throbbing dongs and there's some interracial and all-ebony sex thrown into the mix.
The cocks and the babes who suck and fuck them come in all shapes and ethnicities on BigCocksSex. Some videos have hardcore sex and some just included a POV suckjob and a facial. Some of the dicks are rather big, but there are some that just look average (in comparison to some on other porn sites, I mean).
The amount of material stands at 127 movies and 88 photo sets are updated once every two weeks, so that's quite an improvement considering that updates had been lacking for over two years on our last visit. You can save the vids in clips and full-length flicks. The movies are mostly good in quality, although the newest ones come in HD and they're often offered in both Windows Media format and MP4s.
Some of the galleries bring you high-res images, but there are others with less impressive shots. All the pics can be viewed in slideshows and downloaded in Zip files. You get a lot of closeup cock shots: between tits, in mouths and plunging in and out of holes. Man, those cocks really give these gals a good pounding.
Since the site probably won't be adding anything new anytime soon, you should really take a look at all the bonus material. Apart from a butt-load of sites, including Amateur Bangers, All Interracial and Anal Fuck Thrills, there are also tons of video feeds. They are also available through the network's mega-site, All Porn Sites Pass. Just keep in mind that the content overlaps heavily between sites and in fact some sites completely duplicate one another.
The monthly fee for Big Cocks Sex is pretty reasonable and if you like watching gals take on larger-than-average dicks, then you might consider joining this site for a while at least. You might even stick around for longer if you really dig the bonuses and don't mind the slightly slow pace of updating that's taking place.

My shoes must be wearing out!
As I said yesterday today was a busy day! Lots of running around.
I started today with a great breakfast because I knew it would have to fuel me for a while.
Before I left the house I picked up my weights. I was happy that I was able to increase some of the exercises from 5lb to 10lbs. Managed to do a 25 minute weight workout.
Then I met Jen for a coffee at Starbucks. I'm loving my coffee with 2 shots of toffee nut. Mmmm tastes so good without too many calories.
After getting some much needed caffeine I walked to meet up with my walking group.
I also needed to go to my favourite store (Hickory & Tweed) for some of my favourite coffee k-pods. Jamaica me crazy is one of my favourites.
Then it was back on the road to walk to a meeting. All in all I walked for over 2 hours today :) Yep, I think I'm going to need new shoes soon.
I loved this meeting because it's all about the correlation between walking and better mental health.
Today's nosh:
Breakfast: 1/2c egg substitute omelet with baby spinach, onion, light cheese, an orange, a slice of Silver Hills Big 16 bread with 1 tsp of butter and 2 Tbsp 5% cream for coffee
Snack: at starbucks Coffee with 2 shots of toffee nut and 2 tbsp of half and half cream
On the go: 25g of tamari almonds
At the meeting: deli ham, hot salami, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots, 2 lindt chocolates, green tea (it was set up for sandwiches but I just chose without the bread) no picture as this was during a meeting.
At home: glass of much enjoyed wine :)

Wow, that's a lot of walking, especially with this weather. I am not sure how many kms, but I think its around 500 km for running shoe life for running, so maybe a little more for walking. Make sure your shoes are comfy with all that walking.ReplyDelete
I've had them about 9 months so I'm pretty sure I'll get new ones in the spring :)They still look good and feel pretty good but I'm sure they need to be replaced soon.ReplyDelete
I am tired just reading about it! But I am relieved that there was no mention of lost glasses. Lol :)ReplyDelete
That's true Staci! I think I would have given up if I'd lost them again today.ReplyDelete
After the last time I realize they're scratched and I'll actually have to replace them :(
okay now I am humbled.... I was complaining to my husband just this morning about how cold it is this morning... at 54 outside.... you are awesome lady!!!ReplyDelete
In my best John Wayne voice..."Well I admire your spunk little Suzi:)"ReplyDelete
Now that my friend is dedication! I'm such a wimp in the cold!ReplyDelete
Woo good for you for getting out in the cold. I just ran and hid away from it LOL!ReplyDelete
This morning is even colder with the windchill of -25!!! And yes I'm getting out again today but totally dressed warm :)ReplyDelete
Good morning. -28* without the windchill so I rode the bike at the gym for 18 miles. My puppies so want to get out for a walk. Not in the cards today but hopefully it warms up a bit since I also need to check on the cabin down the road. Love your omelett. I made scrambled eggs with peppers and a slice of cheese for lunch and 3 sausages. Blueberries and a banana too. Now ready to get back into the bus with my students and get them home for dinner.ReplyDelete
Blessings and keep up the great work.
P.S. It's -16* now but the sun is shining!!
Good for you getting in all that walking!ReplyDelete
I am going to take your cue and try to get my ass to the gym before work and walk for 45 to 60 minutes.
That way, if life gets in the way I at least know that I got the walking in.
But right now that omelet is calling my name - hello cheese!

Vintage, yesteryear and retro biking

Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
This is one I have just finished but didn't dare bring to a 'Concours' meet...
I bought this frame off Karen several years ago. It is solid but the chrome needed attention, either re-chorme or paint over (which needs a decent painter!) and the brain went into vacillate mode.. So it hung on the wall until I got a blue anodized Burlite brake off eBay (a forum member if IRRC) and I snapped! I really wanted to ride this biKe! Inspired by a 1950's Freddie Grubb that an old clubmate had back in London with all 1950's blue anodized parts (Airlites etc) I decided to do a BLUE bike and go for 'patina' on the frame!
The chrome was neutralized and polished and as many period parts used as possible, but preferably blue. Modern parts that looked period were used if the 'real stuff' wasn't available. Decals were planned and positioned to hide the worst defects in the chrome. While I'm pretty sure no Jubilee ever left the Clapham works looking exactly like this I reckon there were a few that were damn close The Burlite levers hoops would only fit the diameter of steel bars so that fixed the bar choice,,,,
Fit out ended up as:
Stem: GB
Bars: geneic steel randonneur
Brakes: Burlite
Chainset: Magistroni steel with Campag alloy 3-arm rings 50/40
Pedals: Wellgo track with Welgo bluee clips
Wheels: Unknown blue 32 hole hubs with velocity rims
Gears : Cyclo push/Pull top action at front, Zeus Alfa Huret copy acrosss a 14-22 Atom at the back, Simplex levers
What do you think, OK or a bit 'flash' It rides really well!
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
Well I like what you've done with it. Are you planning to gradually replace the non-period parts as appropriate ones become available?
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
Yes, that's the idea. Might be a long wait tho, I might be lucky enough to score a pair of blue Airlite hubs sometime but I feel the chances of me finding the ultra rare blue anodized Holdsworty or Lyotard pedals is highly unlikely, let alone another blue Burlite brake. Likelihood of picking up a blue dyed Brooks as seen (according to 'Cycling' magazine) at the 1952 Earls Court bicycle show is basically zero..
Most other bits are period or very close to.
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
Hi Richard
That looks great, I have a soft spot for that blue anodizing.
There is on ebay at the moment a pair of brake anodized blue levers GB brand which may be of interest. (item# 121085883271)
Never say never on those seeking parts, they will turn up.
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
A bit of a catch up... Much to my surprise I am now the proud owner of a BLUE Brooks B17! Courtesy of Pushys Bicycle Supplies up in Queensland.
Never thought I'd get one of these at a sensible price (did you see the scandalous price they were asking for the Olympic specials !)
For those interested Pushys also had red, lime green, white and yellow versions
So, another period part added, the search continues!
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
It will look nice with the blue Brooks Richard.

Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
I really like the front derailleur arrangement, but i'm curious as to why? Is it a period thing or did you only have 2 single boss clamp ons and no double boss clamp?
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)
That's correct, it's a retro thing.
If you look closely you can see that the activator chain exits the right side of the Cyclo front changer (ie directly above the cage) so you cannot pull from below, you must pull from above and on the right of the tube so you cant use a down tube lever to activate it (without a big fiddle)
I prefer the front changer lever on the seat tube with an open direct pull cable but some people used to use a bar-end lever or a lever on the top tube using a cable with an outer along the top tube and down to the cable stop above the derailleur.
Re: Claud Jubilee - 1954 (sort of)

eGo-C Twist
One Battery - Various Voltage Choices
The inner smart Buck BOOST converter can adjust voltage from 3.2 volt to 4.8 volt.
Choose the voltage that works best for you and vape to your satisfaction!
-A fully charged eGo-C Twist variable voltage battery will provide approximately 6 hours of vaping.
-It takes 2-3 hours to be fully charged using fast USB charger for eGo/eGo-T/eGo-C!
-Using the battery at a higher voltage output will drain the battery quicker than when using it at a lower voltage.
-Be careful not to damage atomizers/cartomizers. Driving them with too much power for too long or running them dry can burn them out.
-We recommend you starting with a low voltage setting and working your way up until you find the right setting for your atomizer/cartomizer.
How to adjust the output voltage?
-There are 8 grids on the knob at the bottom, and each represents 0.2.
-Spin the knob in a clockwise direction to increase output voltage and spin the knob in anti-clockwise direction to decrease output voltage.
-High output voltage gives more vapor. You can adjust the output voltage so easily and enjoy the whole vapor time.
-Generally, the battery is shipped in the off position. In off position, it will not function even when pressing the button.
-To turn on battery, press manual button 5 times within 2 seconds. You will see white LED flash.
-To turn off battery, press manual button 5 times within 2 second as well, the white LED will flash!
-"5-click protection" can protect the battery from being activated when you do not want or do not use it. No more firing in your pocket!
When pressing the button on a manual battery, users are urged to depress the button in a straight down manner with light pressure.
Pressing from the bottom or sides, as well as using too much pressure can result in damage to the button or the pressure switch inside the unit.

I don't know how to flirt.
I guess the title explains it all, I don't know how to flirt.. how does a girl do that?
- Asked by Girl, 18-21
Basically, you just joke around with a guy. If he does something embarrassing, you don't want to be mean, but just be playful and make a light joke about it. If he always messes with his hair, just kinda tease him about it and he'll do it back to you. If you find out that he's ticklish, try tickling him or something haha(:

UPDATED 4:22pm: They came, they saw, they promised.
The country's politicians have had their say at annual Ratana celebrations.
Strong words have been spoken as New Zealand First and the Maori Party squared off over policy.
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has criticised Maori Party policies such as Whanau Ora, Maori prison units, and the flying of the tino rangatiratanga flag as separatist and apartheid-like.
That's been rejected by Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples who says Mr Peters isn't a good political servant to Maori.
"I think he's a very astute guy, quick to jump on peoples faults, but the net result is that he does down a lot of Maori projects, and that's not good for Maori."
Meanwhile the Prime Minister's speaking plainly: We get results, the other lot don't.
That's the message the Prime Minister's taken to Ratana Church followers at annual celebrations near Wanganui today.
John Key says his message is a direct one.
"Historically Labour have promised you the earth but actually they've done much better under National than they have under Labour and if they continue to vote for Labour they'll continue to get what they've got which is fantastic rhetoric in opposition and no action in government."
Labour's on a charm offensive as Leader David Cunliffe makes his first visit to Ratana as head of his party.
He says his message to the Church and its followers is that now is a time to renew their alliance, honour the history they share and take it forward into a new era.
"We really appreciate that so many of the Ratana movement have been faithful to the Labour Kaupapa throughout our recent history but now we have an opportunity to take it to a new level for a new generation."
One of the regular political events of the year's about to get underway near Wanganui
Politicians of all stripes will be out in force for the Ratana Church's annual celebration of the birth of its founder - Tahu Potiki Wiremu Ratana.
The anniversary day is tomorrow, but tradition sees politicians attend Ratana Pa the day before.
Opposition party leaders are to be welcomed onto Ratana Pa this morning, with the Prime Minister and his delegation due to arrive in the afternoon.
Changing political times are what one MP with strong ties to Ratana, believes are behind the change in the way the church now approaches politics.
The Ratana Church, once a political player, is continuing to leave political choices up to its followers.
That point's being reinforced ahead of this weekend's annual celebration of the birth of its founder
Labour MP Rino Tirikatene puts the church's more neutral political position down to the influence of MMP.
"We've seen that in recent years since '96 the political landscape has changed drastically than what it did back in the last century."
A senior politician doesn't think annual Ratana commemorations are being overtaken by MPs
Green co-leader Metiria Turei says she used to be concerned that politicians were overshadowing the aim of Ratana's commemorations - celebrating the birth of the the church's founder.
But she says that's no longer the case.
"But Ratana was the first major organisation to engage in coalition politics with a political party, 60 years ago. so it's good that there's politics involved in the process."

Last week in this space, I wondered why youth baseball leagues didn't uniformly use reduced injury factor baseballs and why they don't have automated external defibrillators on hand at each field.
But why would I expect organizers at that level to be any different than the guys in the Major League Baseball? At least no youth administrator ever paid $136 million for a somewhat-better-than-average hitter who was a mediocre fielder, at best.
That's what the Cubs had been doing since the start of the 2007 season, when they signed Alfonso Soriano. They did so because, in 2006, Soriano became only the fourth player in the history of the game to hit 40 or more home runs (46) and to steal 40 or more bases (41) in the same season.
At the time, I warned that he would never approach those numbers again. My reasoning? The previous three — Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, and Alex Rodriguez — were all steroid users and, given that Soriano was about to turn 31, age and injuries were sure to prevent it.
Now, at age 37, his Cubs experience is over and the sometimes slugger is back where he started, in New York with the Yankees.
In return, the Cubs received a Class A pitcher with a losing record.
But not before Soriano hit more than 30 home runs only twice, drove in more than 100 runs just once, and never hit over .300. As for stealing bases, 19 was the most he ever tallied in Chicago. Soriano did so in each of his first two seasons at Clark and Addison, when the Cubs finished first in the NL Central only to drop three straight in each try at a Division Series. Some investment.
The inabilities of MLB executives don't stop with overpaying for past performance, misunderstanding the aging process, and therefore routinely misprojecting future production.
They can't get the simplest safety measures right either. Six years ago, Tulsa Drillers (AA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies) first base coach Mike Coolbaugh was killed by a line drive which struck on the left side of his neck, just behind the ear and below the skull. MLB's reaction was to order all base coaches to wear batting helmets but without requiring ear flaps.
Given that the absence of ear flaps still leaves exposed the location where Coolbaugh was struck, I asked MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr. why. At the time, Garagiola told me such safety efforts were "an ongoing process." Must be a pretty slow one. The base coaches continue to wear helmets but no ear flaps.
If they aren't so concerned about coaches, though, they surely want to protect their stars. Don't they?
Judging by what happened to Braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson last week, perhaps not. Racing to cover first base on Wednesday night, Hudson arrived an instant before New York Met Eric Young Jr. He then ran through the base, landing on the back of Hudson's right lower leg, causing the pitcher's ankle to snap. Surgery was required and the 38-year-old Hudson will be lucky to recover by the start of next season. He expects to be ready in April but so did Derek Jeter this year.
Had the double first base used by Little Leaguers been in place, Hudson would still be healthy and playing. The youngsters and most high schoolers also use breakaway bases which have reduced sliding injuries by 90 percent.
However, rather than taking such simple steps to improve safety, the powers of MLB cling to appearances and traditions that ultimately keep disabled lists overpopulated.

Elephant Revival is a soulful, seductive quiver of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists that reign from points all across America. Since Oct 06' Daniel Rodriguez, Bonnie Paine, Dango Rose, Sage Cook and Bridget Law have herded in a greatly applauded neo-acoustic gyptic revival at festivals, theaters, clubs and house concerts from the Pacific coast to the rolling hills of New England. The Revival plays entirely original music with a few carefully chosen traditionals and eclectic cover tunes but their precise genre is hard to pin down. As independent film director Mikey Eberle elaborates, "When I hear Elephant Revival I am struck by my inability to define it. I am forced to confront the music as it is, connecting to it with a virgin spirit of mind. Consequently it feels like I am experiencing music and all its joys for the very first time."
Each Elephant possesses remarkable vocal abilities which are highlighted during every performance. The individual members carry a vast amount of talent and are all multi-instrumentalists. Daniel Rodriguez plays a distinctive finger-style acoustic guitar and banjo. Bridget Law is a high elevation fiddle champion who regularly teaches and plays in Scotland. Dango Rose is solid as a rock on the upright bass and adds nice texture on the mandolin. Sage Cook is a shredding instrumentalist who plays the electric banjo, electric guitar, mandolin and upright bass. Bonnie Paine's innovative washboard and percussion style has inspired a new generation of folk-percussionists. Her playing transcends the Cajun, Bluegrass and Latin conventions usually associated with the instrument. Occasionally she will bow an eerie yet angelic line out of the musical saw. Her voice has been compared to the likes of Natalie Merchant and Grace Slick, but the calm power which fuels her voice is beyond explanation. Her vocal prowess is hauntingly beautiful.

Resurrectionists Gather at 2013 Chapter!
Our Open Doors:
Resurrectionists in Canada and throughout the world have hospitality and warmth built into the fabric of our existence. If you'd like to learn more about us, contact our Vocation Director Father Toby and he will arrange to have you meet us "on our turf"! If you'd like to know more about us, read this site or click here to read our Charism Statement.
The members of the Congregation of the Resurrection understand that the inspiration and guide for our mission and lifestyle is Jesus Christ. The society in which Jesus lived included many people who lived without hope because they were marginalized – economically, socially, politically, and religiously. Nourished and guided by his relationship with God, Jesus journeyed with the poor, the disadvantaged, the chronically ill, and the uneducated, preaching the Good News of God's faithful love and forgiveness.
As Jesus reached out compassionately to all who did not count by the standards of the world, he found himself at odds with the religious and political leaders who ultimately concluded that he should be put to death. We know that he overcame death, and through his Resurrection and through the gift of his Spirit, he continues to live among us and guide us profoundly as we strive to continue his mission and ministry.
A spirit of service
In the middle of the 19th century, a group of men had a vision of how to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ in an intense way. You can read about this on our history page. We call ourselves Resurrectionists, and as members of the Congregation of the Resurrection we find ourselves living lives of service in communities all over the world. The group (we call it a "province") that serves primarily in Ontario also serves in Bermuda, Kentucky, Rome and other places in the world. In the spirit of Jesus, we continue to follow the mandate of our 19th century founders and work for the "Resurrection of society".
Living joyfully
Our members are vibrant men who serve the Church as priests, bishops, deacons and lay brothers. We live in communities from which we derive our strength and our spirit. We choose to live an intensive form of Christianity which is guided by vows that we freely and joyfully live. Our day-to-day living of the vows is further strengthened by our prayer and our ongoing study of the Scriptures. We view ourselves as working with people as much as for people in order to build up the reign of God in every aspect of life on earth.
We are active religious men, joyfully living our spirituality in the moment. We are open to society and we live in society. We invite all who can hear to journey with us at various levels and in various ways.
Our Website
This site visually, and in words, tells our story. More importantly, we invite you to meet us, to journey with us and to work with us as we seek to do God's will as a community that is enlivened by the hope Jesus' resurrection continues to bring to those who are confused and searching for meaning. Above all we ask you to pray with us, for us and allow us to pray for you as vital ministry of prayer. Please go to our Prayer Request page and list your intentions. We will pray for your intentions and we hope you'll pray for everyone else who's there.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Expert Q&A: Losing the Baby Weight
What's wrong with getting in shape right away like the celebrities?
I am not sure how they are losing the weight so quickly, and it may not be the safest way. More than likely, the financial resources of the celebrities enable them to hire help with the baby and personal trainers to get them back into shape quickly because looking good is their business.
Restricting calories and going on a crash diet to fit into your jeans is not going to help. Good nutrition is essential, as are sleep and physical activity -- but those issues are harder to control than diet when you have a newborn. A healthy diet can help you overcome some of the fatigue associated with newborns.
Going on a low-calorie diet may help you get the weight off quickly, but it can lead to the loss of lean muscle tissue and zap your energy level. Losing muscle mass lowers your calorie needs and can make it even harder to lose weight. New moms need diets that give them energy to cope with the demands of a newborn and any other children at home.
And, if you are a nursing mom, you can't restrict calories - otherwise, it will affect the quality of your breast milk.
What is the best diet plan for losing the baby weight if you are not breastfeeding?
Calories count throughout pregnancy until the fourth trimester (or 3 months after giving birth), because your body needs good nutrition for the growth of the baby. Six weeks after the baby is born, you can start curbing a few hundred calories a day. Consult [the U.S. Department of Agriculture's web site] mypyramid.gov to determine the right number of calories for you, and shave up to 500 calories, making sure to get a minimum of 1,600 calories per day. Keep in mind: When you trim calories, it is important to make sure every calorie counts by eating a nutrient-rich diet.
You need balanced meals at least 3-4 times a day for your stamina and energy. Stock your kitchen with healthy foods so junk food, sweet temptations, and your trigger foods won't derail your healthy diet. Cut back on extra fats and oils, where calories can creep up. Snack on fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and high-fiber foods that will help fill you up without filling you out. Drink plenty of water and nutritious beverages, but be careful of alcohol calories that can add up quickly.
What is the best diet plan for losing the baby weight if you are breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding moms should not go on weight loss diets because they need plenty of calories to lactate and provide the sole source of nutrition to their infants. Even if the weight doesn't come off as fast as if you were not breastfeeding, take comfort in knowing you are doing the best thing for the baby. Breast milk is designed by Mother Nature to give your baby everything he/she needs for growth and development for the first several months.
Good nutrition is imperative. Your diet affects the quality of the breast milk, whereas the quantity is based on how much you nurse.

While tailored for D&D campaigns, this web based map creating app can be used for designing other games, including perhaps even Minecraft structures.
I want to use this with my students. Now I just need to come up with a lesson that fits with my curriculum AND has this as the right tool for the job.
Nice stuff. I've been contemplating #gamification, something like this would be excellent for #ELT classrooms.

1. Just another trip to the produce aisle. Or is it? Look closely and you may spot Bolin standing in the middle of the frame. And no, these photos weren't digitally altered.
2. Pandas, pandas everywhere. And a man is in there, too. No, really, trust us. He's in there. Hint: Look for his shoes and then go up.
3. Bolin describes his philosophy in the press notes for an upcoming show.
4. Here, Bolin poses with a few friends. "Instead of saying that I simply disappear into the background.
5. We doubt the sign was tagged while Bolin was posing, but it's fun to imagine a vandal's reaction to the invisible man.
6. Bolin hides in plain sight, this time against the backdrop of what appears to be a government billboard.
7. "Um, yeah. Gimme one issue of Sports Illustrated, a copy of the New Yorker and whatever that invisible guy is reading."
8. Bolin isn't shy about posing in public spaces. Here the artist blends into a statue. Each piece requires careful body painting.
9. Please silence your ringers. In a world obsessed with cell-phones and communication, Bolin chooses to melt into the backdrop.
10.Bolin's new show is at the Galerie Paris-Beijing in Paris. It runs Jan. 10 to March 9, 2013. See it (and him) if you can.

SEARCH oversees a quality assurance program that offers voluntary performance standards for State criminal history repositories. The goal is to encourage the quality and integrity of justice data maintained and reported by these repositories.
The program offers the following self-inspection tools that state repositories can use to assure data quality. State repository representatives, with help from officials of the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, developed the tools; they were then reviewed by the SEARCH Membership; and pilot tested in several states.
