Vertafore Enables Producers to Better Serve Clients at Moment of Need with Latest Agency Cloud and Mobile Technology
Vertafore Agency Platform, Sagitta Suite and Producer Advantage enhancements to help agencies service clients faster, be more productive in the field and reduce IT costs
Mar 07, 2014
Bothell, WA –March 7, 2014 – Vertafore (http://www.vertafore.com), the leading provider of software that transforms the business of insurance, today unveiled its next step cloud and mobile innovations for its premier agency technologies – Vertafore Agency Platform, Sagitta Suite and Vertafore Producer Advantage. The company's latest technological advancements are being showcased at the 38th Network of Vertafore Users (NetVU) conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
Already breaking ground in a new era of agency technology in 2013, the Vertafore Agency Platform continues to evolve into the most integrated single application experience that agencies need to provide the anytime, anywhere service clients demand. The newest improvements to the software include a consolidated dashboard that effectively presents the data and information users need to efficiently and accurately make decisions and execute important tasks.
The new dashboard includes global search functionality that helps agencies service clients at the moment of need instead of having to waste precious time wading through silos of disparate sets of information across multiple pieces of software. This is accomplished by unifying all information an agency has stored in the Vertafore Agency Platform.
While the Vertafore Agency Platform continues to redefine agency technology, Vertafore Sagitta Suite has been doing so for enterprise agencies for over 20 years. In parallel with the innovations for the Vertafore Agency Platform, Sagitta Suite continues making larger agencies more productive with its new ACORD eForms cloud technology.
This feature will reduce IT spend and save agencies time by quickly updating to the latest ACORD forms without requiring additional budget and resources required to upgrade to a new version of Sagitta. The cloud-based eForms solution delivers value by ensuring agencies are using the most current forms they need to connect and collaborate with carriers to provide insurance.
The next area of agency technology innovation is regarding Vertafore Producer Advantage, which was previously only available for the iOS devices, but is now available on Android devices. With more than 93 percent of smartphone adoption split between Android and iOS, this greatly expands the potential amount of producers that can better serve clients in the field. In addition to expanding its potential adoption, Vertafore Producer Advantage features several enhancements that boost producer productivity including:
- A new automated export feature that eliminates rekeying of data from Vertafore Producer Advantage to AMS360. This feature unique to insurance mobile applications, lets producers truly take advantage of being mobile without having to go back to the office to reenter data from their mobile application into the agency management system. The new integration not only helps producers be more productive, but also helps those that need access to that data back in the office.
- Integration with Vertafore Single Sign-On which creates a single login for producers to access all Vertafore Producer Advantage capabilities and data.
- Enhanced sales pipeline visibility and producer productivity through a new consolidated "sold/lost" view and an enhanced user interface make the application more intuitive no matter the device.
"These improvements stem from Vertafore's significant investments in R&D companywide which total more than $50 million annually and are part of the company's efforts to accelerate productivity so agencies can better service clients at the moment of need," said Mark Craig, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Vertafore. "Our customers can expect to continue to benefit from these types of precise technology advancements that will make them smarter, more productive and better positioned for growth."

Artisan's DVD of The Blair Witch Project is a Dolby 2.0, full-screen 1.33:1 presentation. What would one expect from a movie famous for shaky camerawork? Predictably, plenty of the special features explore the made-up mythology of the film. The best of these is "Curse of the Blair Witch," the 45-minute "documentary" originally aired on cable TV to hype the film. The fascinating commentary and production notes step out of the "documentary" conceit to explain the nuts and bolts of the filmmaking. Two things were frustrating about the commentary by directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez: discussion of deleted scenes that the filmmakers hoped to see "end up somewhere" (they didn't), and references to specific dialogue that the viewer can't hear over the commentary (the directors may have the movie memorized, but most of us don't). Beyond those two problems, the commentary is a great window into the movie-making process, including the techniques used to make the actors almost as hungry and scared as their characters. To find some semi-hidden features, select "Special Features," arrow down to the stick figure symbol, and press enter. Ignore the ad for Stephen King's The Stand and watch the trailers for Blair Witch instead.

Quick Facts on Property Division
Equitable Distribution is the process by which the Court identifies, classifies, values and distributes property among two people who are or have been married.
There are three types of property.
Despite the common misperception that the term, "Equitable Distribution" implies that marital property and divisible property is divided equally in the event of separation and divorce, the term really means that marital property and divisible property is distributed by the Court according to principles of fairness.
Elements of Equitable Distribution:
Marital and divisible property is distributed according to an array of distributional factors, discussed in detail below.
The Equitable Distribution process in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina can be broadly explained by the following illustration:
Navigate: Home States North Carolina Divorce Source North Carolina Divorce Articles, News and Resources Property Division Quick Facts on Property Division
In North Carolina either party may petition for alimony, but the court shall exercise its discretion in determining the amount, duration, and the manner of payment, and shall consider all relevant factors, including the marital misconduct of either of the spouses. The duration of the award may be either for a specified or for an indefinite term.

On Saturday the 18th, the day-long Tulsa Roots Music Bash will be presented, for the second consecutive year, at the Guthrie Green in downtown Tulsa. In "Boom," Actor and Playwright Rick Miller Explores the Baby Boomer Generation at the Tulsa PAC By Rich Fisher • Sep 18, 2014 On this installment of ST, we speak with the award-winning Canadian actor, playwright, and humorist Rick Miller, who will present his one-man show, "Boom," on Saturday the 20th at 7:30pm at the Tulsa PAC's Williams Theatre. As Miller tells us by phone, his 100-minute production offers a sweeping, fascinating, and maybe even educational exploration of the Baby Boomer generation -- from Che Guevara to Janis Joplin, from Buddy Holly to Nikita Khrushchev, and from Walter Cronkite to Martin Luther King, Jr. ST on Health: A Tuneful Chat with Dr. David Schiedermayer, a Harmonica-Toting Palliative-Care Doc By Rich Fisher • Sep 9, 2014 On this edition of StudioTulsa on Health, guest host John Schumann speaks by phone with Dr. David Schiedermayer, a reflective and soft-spoken physician/author who is based in Wisconsin, tells a good yarn, and has worked in the fields of medicine and health for many years now. He's been an internist and a hospitalist in the past, and he's now focused on palliative care. Oh, and he's also one heck of a harmonica player. In fact, Dr. Tulsa Ballet Does "Rooster" (A Tribute to Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones from Christopher Bruce) By Person: Rich Fisher • Mar 13, 2014 On this installment of ST, we welcome Christopher Bruce, the highly regarded British choreographer and dancer who served as Artistic Director of the Rambert Dance Company from 1994 until 2002. Bruce, whom London's Daily Telegraph once called "the Nureyev of contemporary ballet," was appointed Houston Ballet's Associate Choreographer in 1989, and this world-renowned company has served as his artistic home in America since then.

AUSTIN, Texas – Wildfire survivors in six more Texas counties — Anderson, Caldwell, Fayette, Henderson, Hill and Rusk — can now apply for state and federal recovery assistance, as those counties were added Wednesday to the state's Sept. 9 presidential disaster declaration.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urge homeowners, renters and business owners in the newly designated counties to register with FEMA as soon as possible. The application process is simple, but crucial, as FEMA may provide assistance that can address specific needs.
"Getting assistance to eligible Texans in all 22 counties affected by the wildfires is our top priority," said Federal Coordinating Officer Kevin L. Hannes of FEMA. "The sooner survivors register with FEMA the sooner we can determine how we might be able to assist them."
Counties previously designated for Individual Assistance in areas affected by wildfires beginning August 30 and continuing are Bastrop, Cass, Colorado, Gregg, Grimes, Harrison, Houston, Leon, Marion, Montgomery, Smith, Travis, Upshur, Walker, Waller and Williamson.
Three counties — Colorado, Leon and Walker — were also added to the declaration Wednesday for supplementary funding under FEMA's Public Assistance program, which reimburses the state, its agencies, local governments and certain nonprofit organizations for eligible costs to protect lives and property, clean up disaster-affected communities and repair infrastructure.
Aid under the Individual Assistance program may include grants to survivors that help pay for temporary housing, emergency home repairs or other serious disaster-related expenses, such as medical and dental expenses or funeral and burial costs, that are not covered by insurance.
Low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and businesses may also be available from the U.S. Small Business Administration that compensate for losses incurred during the disaster that are not fully covered by insurance or grants.
Survivors in all 22 counties can register for assistance online at www.disasterassistance.gov, via smart phone at m.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or (TTY) 1-800-462-7585. Those who use 711-Relay or Video Relay Services can call 1-800-621-3362. Operators are available by phone from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- Internet giants Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) and Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) continue to grow but face new challenges as 2013 gets underway. New competitive threats, regulatory changes and shifting consumer preferences are beginning to apply pressure even as shares of both companies continue to steadily improve.

Much of the industry's attention has fallen squarely on Facebook this week which is now just days away from a 'mystifying' press conference. Facebook is generating some sort of positive momentum as investors are abuzz over next week's announcement which just happens to coincide with shares crossing $30 for the first time since mid-July. Speculation continues to build as analysts clamor over what is next for the social networking service. Theories have included phones, search engines, cloud services, video advertising and expanding its e-commerce platform. Now would seem ideal to launch a new way to monetize its service as interest is high and its user count remains over a billion. Subsequent reactions from rivals will also be worth tracking and considering. Elsewhere, increased regulatory scrutiny is disrupting operations for a few internet outfits in Europe. Google is the latest company to come into the region's cross-hairs, as EU officials demand changes to the way search results are presented. It is there contention that Google unfairly distorts customer choices and takes business from rivals. Google had been given one month to comply as of December 18th but no formal changes have been made thus far. A statement from Google informed investors that they are cooperating fully at this time. The instance will likely be a hiccup for the internet giant but still worth paying attention to considering international revenues now account for over half of total revenues.
The threat of patent litigation continues to grow in the wake of the Apple vs. Samsung court battles of last year. Any potential overhaul of the patent system is still years away, making it even more likely that patent battles will grab headlines, dent cash reserves and threaten future revenues even for the largest of internet companies.
Data and power management will also be key issues for major internet companies this year. User bases and web traffic continue to balloon, putting pressure on a variety of resources. Google already has a leg up on many of its rivals thus far. At the moment, over 30% of the company's data centers are powered by renewable energy sources and it invested another $200 million this week into a Texas wind farm. In addition to greater energy consumption, burgeoning data volumes will also require massive capital efforts to keep capacity ahead of demand.
Both Facebook and to a lesser extent, Google, have yet to fully take advantage of mobile device monetization. Smartphone and tablet sales continue to surge and internet companies scramble to capitalize on them. Google's wallet service is gaining traction along near field communication devices and products. Facebook has done an excellent job of getting its applications into mobile devices but has yet to truly monetize its presence there. Investors will want to keep a close eye on this niche and the industry-wide ramifications substantial progress from a major competitor could have.
Overall, 2013 is shaping up to be another lucrative year for major internet information providers. Mounting competitive pressure, increased importance on resource management, patent litigation and regulatory uncertainty threaten to derail the industry's momentum but will not likely be able to slow its torrid pace. Facebook's announcement next week could play a pivotal role in the direction the industry moves in for the rest of the year. Similarly, resolution of accusations for Google could also potentially impact several companies' approaches to search results throughout the world.

As enterprises capture more and more data of all types – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured – data discovery requirements for business intelligence (BI), Big Data, and predictive analytics initiatives grow more complex. A company's ability to become data-driven and compete on analytics depends on the speed with which it can provision their analytics applications with all relevant information. The task of finding data has traditionally resided with IT, but now organizations increasingly turn towards data source discovery tools to find the right data, in context, for business users, d...

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud.

Organizations already struggle with the simple collection of data resulting from the proliferation of IoT, lacking the right infrastructure to manage it. They can't only rely on the cloud to collect and utilize this data because many applications still require dedicated infrastructure for security, redundancy, performance, etc. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Emil Sayegh, CEO of Codero Hosting, will discuss how in order to resolve the inherent issues, companies need to combine dedicated and cloud solutions through hybrid hosting – a sustainable solution for the data required to manage I...

Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

text: Benefits Employers and Consumers Due $1.3B in Rebates under Health Reform May 1, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Consumers and businesses are expected to receive $1.3 billion in rebates from health insurers who spent more on administrative expenses and profits than allowed by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). By Rebecca Moore email@example.com | May 01, 2012 An analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation of the latest estimates provided by insurers to state insurance commissioners finds the rebates include $541 million in the large-employer market, $377 million in the small-business market, and $426 million for those buying insurance on their own. Rebates in the group market will generally be provided to employers, and in some cases be passed on to employees as well.Rebates are expected to go to almost one-third (31%) of consumers in the individual market. Among employers, about one-quarter (28%) of the small-group market and 19% of the large-group market is projected to receive rebates. The share of consumers in the individual insurance market is expected to receive rebates ranges from near zero in several states to as high as 86% in Oklahoma and 92% in Texas. The Kaiser Family Foundation explained that beginning in 2011, the ACA requires insurance plans to pay out a minimum percentage of premium dollars towards health care expenses and quality improvement activities, limiting the amount spent on administrative and marketing costs and profit. Under the law, large group plans are required to spend at least 85% of premium dollars on health care and quality improvement, while small group plans must spend at least 80%. These ratios are known as the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR). If an insurer fails to meet the MLR within a market segment in a state, they must issue a refund to consumers and employers. The report for the analysis includes a data table with state-by-state information on the total dollar amount of projected rebates, the number of people enrolled in plans expected to provide rebates, the number of plans paying rebates, the average rebate across the entire market and the average rebate amount for those receiving them. The data is available for the individual, small group and large group markets. The report can be downloaded from http://www.kff.org/healthreform/8305.cfm.

NM County Told To Issue Same-Sex Marriage Licenses
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- An Albuquerque judge on Monday ordered the clerk of New Mexico's most populous county to join two other counties in the state in issuing marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples.
State District Judge Alan Malott ruled that New Mexico's constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
The decision came in a case involving a lesbian couple who sought an emergency ruling because one of them is dying and they wanted to make certain the state would recognize their marriage, which happened last week in Santa Fe.
The Bernalillo County clerk's office in Albuquerque plans to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Laura Schauer Ives, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, called it a "monumental ruling" and said the group didn't expect such a broad decision by the judge.
"We were stunned and amazed," she said.
However, it's uncertain whether clerks in the state's 30 other counties, who were not defendants in the lawsuit, would use the judge's ruling as a signal that they can issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The state was a defendant in the case.
The lesbian couple was able to get married Friday at a Santa Fe hospital after a judge in a separate case ordered the Santa Fe County clerk to issue same-sex licenses. The clerk of Dona Ana County in southern New Mexico decided on his own early last week to recognize same-sex marriage.
The hearing on Monday originally was scheduled on an emergency request to force Bernalillo County to issue a marriage license to Jen Roper, who is dying of cancer, and Angelique Neuman because of Roper's cancer. However, that changed after the two unexpectedly were able to wed.
"It's been a long, long fight," Neuman said. "I'm glad things went our way."

I realy don't get why all these spam complaints?!... the invites I get are not from Twoo, they are from my friends that are on Twoo. Just like I get every day on Facebook, Orkut, Badoo. Like I've sayd on Twoo.com rating, you always have a choice to unsubscribe, and to skip or manage the invites sending. I just had to go to my account settings and choose what emails I wanted to get from Twoo... and it was done. No muss, no fuss. :) "

I read a few other comments and I don't understand why people call invites of contact persons 'spam'. All social sites give you the option to invite your friends, so if you don't feel like then you just don't give the permission. Even WOT gives you the option to invite your friends, just as Facebook, Twitter etc. You can easily unsubscribe if you're not interested in 2. In my account settings I chose which mails I want to receive, just as on FB so that's cool. Same thing. "

From my personal experience I have noticed that Twoo is sending mails manly due to user requests. If a new member logs in and wants to add friends to the system he/she gives credentials of his/hers email so that Twoo could identify who is on the system and to suggest other friends to join that member in the system. Thus I believe that friends should be blamed for wanting to join you to the system and not the system itself :) "

Good site
I do not agree with others' ratings that the site does not provide privacy policy or is misleading or unethical. All information regarding privacy and ways how the site functions can be found. There are terms and conditions and FAQ at the bottom of the page, all is explained there. And we have to read the small script everywhere, not only on this kind of sites. Definately good experience for me. "

I am surprised that many people are angry at so called spam, which in fact is nothing else than invitations to join Twoo. Everyone can unsubscribe from receiveing these invitations, so getting angry at it is just pointless. Invitations from Twoo are quite similar to invitations form other social networking sites. Speaking of other sites, I'd say that some invitations from Facebook are much more annoying! "

Good site
I think that most people complaining about this website just do not know how the Internet works. I was receiving messages from Twoo for some time. I asked my friends about the website and they explained that these are invitations to join Twoo and if I do not want to receive them I can easily block the messages. If some of you really do not know how to use the link at the bottom of the invitation, then apparently the whole Internet is not for you.
I decided to join Twoo and I enjoy my time there! "

*Top 50 Spirits of 2011* Complex and appealingly herbal, this spirit is marked by its coffee-brown color and a scent like spearmint-spiked espresso. The flavor is sweet, faintly coffee-like, with warm Dutch licorice, anise and sarsaparilla notes. The brisk finish is minty then bitter. Heavy, syrupy feel.
An hour or so has passed since your last spoon full of smashed yams, your concluding hunk of brioche stuffing, your final, fateful bite of tryptophan-laden turkey, and yet you cannot pull yourself from the table. You are full, beyond full. Never fear, Averna is here! Leave it to the Sicilians to come up with the ultimate in stomach soothing digestive, just the thing to get the blood flowing after an enormous meal. Averna was created in Sicily in 1868, at a time when a typically rich meal might include twelve types of pastry. Its bitterness is similar to Fernet Branca, but with hints of vanilla, rich fruit and sweetness to round out the strongly herbal, medicinal flavors. As necessary as pumpkin and pecan pie during the holiday season, and a lot easier on your stomach!

Cast of THE LION KING to Perform on ABC's 'The Chew', 12/5
On Wednesday, December 5th, the stars of Broadway's THE LION KIN will perform on the ABC daytime talk show 'The Chew' airing 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET.
As it enters its 16th year, The Lion King is in a position unprecedented in the history of Broadway. Already the highest-grossing and fifth longest-running show in Broadway history, the show is routinely the #1 Broadway show in a given week, a feat previously unimaginable for a show at this stage in its life. As it celebrates 15 years, the show, far from slowing, has actually strengthened recently; to take but one representative bit of data, 25,000 more tickets were sold in its 15th year than in the 14th and 50,000 more tickets were sold than in the 10th.
Among the most successful titles in entertainment history, its worldwide footprint is more remarkable still. With a cumulative gross in excess of $5 billion, the title has already earned more than the biggest hit films in movie history: more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined, more than the six Star Wars films combined, and more than Avatar and Titanic, the #1 and #2 highest-grossing films in movie history, combined.
With seven productions currently playing around the world, it will make its South American and Portuguese language debut when it begins performances in Sao Paolo, Brazil in February 2013. With that production, The Lion King's 21 productions will have played in 98 cities in 16 countries on every continent except Antarctica.
The Broadway production has played through three Presidential administrations, four mayoral elections, eight New York City team championships and the opening and closing of 536 Broadway shows.
The show's director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show's ongoing success. The first woman to win a Tony® Award for Direction of a Musical, Taymor has in recent years supervised new productions of the show in Las Vegas, Madrid and the UK tour and just completed casting the Brazilian production in Sao Paolo.
ABC's "The Chew" (weekdays; 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET; broadcast in stereo) is your Home of the Holidays when hosts Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly and Daphne Oz share their culinary wisdom and decorating/entertaining ideas all month. Beginning MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, "The Chew" kicks things off with an hour featuring more than 60 tips on ways to celebrate the season in style.
Kermit the Frog ("The Muppet Christmas Carol" 10th Anniversary), Fran Drescher ("Happily Divorced"), stars of Broadway's "The Lion King," Andrew McCarthy ("Come Dance with Me"), and Katherine Jenkins ("This is Christmas") are featured guests DECEMBER 3-7.
For the week of Dec. 3-7 (subject to change):
MONDAY, DEC. 3 - Kermit the Frog ("The Muppets Christmas Carol" 10th Anniversary); a holiday ham recipe.
TUESDAY, DEC. 4 - Fran Drescher ("Happily Divorced"); comfort food recipes; correspondent Jamika Pessoa shares a look at the country's largest gingerbread house competition.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 5 - Musical performance from stars of Broadway's "The Lion King"; fail-safe holiday dish ideas.
THURSDAY, DEC. 6 - Andrew McCarthy ("Come Dance with Me"); Chef Josh Capon, Billy Harris and Seton Rossini surprise a family with the ultimate holiday meal.

The Norway Spruce can grow to Christmas Tree height in as little as three years. It will continue to grow rapidly to a mature height of 50 feet.
A dense tree that easily blocks out wind and neighbors, it is ideal for use as a privacy barrier, wind screen, or even a traditional showpiece. Attracts and creates a safe haven for wildlife!
You'll enjoy its deep rich color year-round...it's even drought tolerant!
Believed to be the most cold hardy spruce available, it will grow in any northern state.
Also, the Norway Spruce is the most disease resistant spruce you can find. Any serious disease or insect problems that kill other spruce trees do not affect the Norway Spruce.
Plant every 8-10 feet for a solid green privacy screen. Plant on the northern edge of your property for a substantial wind barrier and help lower your winter heating bills.
Adaptable to a variety of conditions and soils. Very cold tolerant and prefers Growing Zones 2-5.
Growing Zones: 2-5

|It's Easy to Plant your Norway Spruce
Specific Directions for Norway Spruce
Plant your Norway Spruce Tree in an area that receives full to partial sunlight. Norway Spruces can tolerate shade but prefer full sunlight. Plant your Norway Spruces 8 to 10 feet apart for privacy screens, their foliage will quickly fill in.
Your Norway Spruce will adapt to your natural soil as long as it's well draining, but prefers sandy soil. Mix sandy or fine potting mix with your natural soil to make it sandier before planting. Your Norway Spruce won't need any extra water unless you're experiencing a drought. Rain fall usually gives Norway Spruces enough moisture.
Fertilize your Norway Spruce with a slow release fertilizer that's high in nitrogen twice every Spring and once a month during the Summer. Each Spring cones are produced that get between 4 to 7 inches long. They take about a year to mature and ripen around September.
|Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Norway Spruce.
|Step 2 - Place Your Plant
Next, separate the roots of your Norway Spruce gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.
|Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.

Comment Re:Market Forces (Score 2) 231
There is an economic fix for this: remove the parts of the H1B that tie the person to a specific employer. That is, allow them to take any job. This would devalue it because the companies would have to pay them as much as an American would make or they'd simply jump ship after getting the visa. By making them more expensive, they could no longer be used as cheap replacements for an American.
But what will actually happen is that they will make the rules stricter and pretend that's a solution... even though it simply reinforces the status-quo, ensuring that H1Bs are good as cheap replacements for Americans.
It shouldn't be hard to understand--this is all about money. If you want employers to buy less, then H1Bs need to be more expensive.

We intend to return"Guest: Cindy Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 10, 2015View listing
"We enjoyed our one month stay at this clean and spacious condo. Since it was only the two of us, we never used the extra bedroom. However, the den was a great office space for my husband to get his work completed. The kitchen was sufficient and there were plenty of items to use for cooking. We had a wonderful vacation and hope to go back to Vasari again in the future!"Guest: Lover of Vasari Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 4, 2015View listing
