Color correcting the mountains
Color correcting the mountains
Now that the mountains are separated from the background, it's time to apply a curve to them to make them look as though they're in the middle of winter, covered with snow. Now open the Curves dialog: Command+M or Ctrl+M. I'm going to have to do this in a couple of passes. Let me move the Curves dialog to one side so we can see what we are doing. I want to make the mountains a lot whiter, but I don't want to blow out any of the areas, or make them go to 100% white. The white point needs to be pulled to the left as far as it can without losing detail.
Then select the Lasso tool and let's add an eighteen-pixel feather to it. Then I want to lasso around these darker parts of the mountain on the left side of the composition and then apply another curve on that area. Again, we'll stop when you start to lose detail. This section of the mountain even further on the left side of the composition still needs to be lightened some more, so apply another curve to that area. And...

I've been looking forward to this console arriving in the mail for the past week - this looked great on the website and appeared to be the perfect find with respect to the form and function I was looking for! I literally just opened the box and was so disappointed when I pulled back the first layer of Styrofoam packaging, only to see the VERY apparent contrast between the white Styrofoam and the beige-ish shade of the painted finish. I wasnt expecting it to be a perfect bright white (Iike the cupboard that its intended to sit next to), but based on all of the pictures posted online, I figured it would be close enough. I went back online to look at the picture again to see if I had overlooked this before, but I still think the item looks fairly white in the photo. However, Im now realizing that the product description doesnt reference the color white anywhere perhaps that was omitted intentionally. Oh, and the fact that the product is now selling for 10% cheaper is just added salt in the wound
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? This photos for this console are very misleading. The painted finish is NOT even close to white - it's a very drab beige color.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Not sure at this point....I haven't even bothered putting it together yet because I'm so disappointed by the color
I bought this when no reviews were available. When I received it a review had been posted and I was concerned that it would be beige (as stated in the review). I opened the box and it was more of a cream than a beige, but I understand the other review. A friend and I put it together in about 3 1/2 hours and when it came together it appeared much lighter in color than I thought it would be. It's definitely a cream or ivory color, but I have white trim all throughout my living room and it looks great. My advice to the other reviewer i - put it together... you won't be disappointed. It's a gorgeous and unique piece. The only negative comment I would make is that one of the drawer guides was off by about 1/4 inch and I had to make a trip to a home improvement store for sandpaper so that the drawer would close (I sanded the the drawer guide in the actual drawer down). I own a palm sander so it only took about 10 minutes to fix, but if I didn't it would have had to come apart and I would have had to wait for a replacement part. All in all this is a beautiful piece for a modern or transitional space!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color looked darker when opened, but when assembled it looked much lighter
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very sturdy
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate once assembled
Nice piece when assembled, but the color is not white. It's a beigey-green-yellow blend that is a vintage color rather than modern white. The package consisted of at least 20 pieces that have to be assembled via instruction manual. All the pieces were numbered and took me about 4 hours to build. I'm a 120 lb, 5'4'' female and was able to assemble this product on my own. Towards the end, my husband helped with the final pieces and lifting the fully assembled cabinet upright as it is heavy. There were no damaged pieces even though the shipping box was damaged. The cabinet has lots of storage space and works great in my living room. I
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not at all similar. Color is actually beige-green-yellow tone.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate.
This console is very pretty and stylish. As other reviewers have mentioned, the color of the top and sides is not white as it looks in the picture. It is off white, or dingy white. This piece has a lot of storage, it's slim and it does not take a lot of space. I feel that it is expensive for the amount of work one has to do. It took me about 3 days to complete the assembly. One has to put together absolutely everything. When I first opened the box I was overwhelmed by the amount of screws and pieces of compressed wood. The directions are easy to follow, but be prepared to read a long book of directions to put this piece together. Over all cute piece, like I said , I feel it's over priced for the amount of work one has to do. At this price point it should come assembled or partially assembled.
This product was exactly what I was looking for to store office supplies, homework and other odds and ends. It fits perfectly with the rest of the living room.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? it is yellowy-creamy, but I read the reviews and that was what I wanted. Definately not white
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? mostly accurate. Loved that each drawer size was listed
This is a solid piece of furniture. And it's heavy! There's real wood and a metal frame and has quality hardware. I love the look of this piece! It is exactly what I wanted and is pretty much as I expected. I'm using it as a dresser in a bedroom. It's a super versatile piece that can really be used in any room of your home.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Hmm...the frame color of the piece is interesting. It looks like an ivory color in the picture and it sorta had a tint to it when I opened the box. It comes off as ivory in the room I have it set up in. It is DEFINITELY NOT WHITE.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Overall this is a solid piece. However, it did arrive with some scratches and damaged pieces. Nothing that thankfully took away from the look of it.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? It was accurate.
The console is BEAUTIFUL -- now that it is assembled and positioned in my foyer. About 3 hours ago were were ready to send it back! The instructions say it should take about 1 hour to assemble. It actually took almost an hour just to unpack all the materials, organize them and check to make sure all the pieces parts were there. We found one of the drawer slides was broken (My husband is handy and was able to glue/clamp it back together -- but we had to wait overnight for the wood glue to dry.) and, we were short 5 screws, which meant a trip to the hardware store. Assembling the console took about 3 hours once we were able to actually get started. I rated the quality as good -- the drawer slides are just wooden slats so the drawers tug a little when you open them. If you've purchased IKEA furniture, this is a step down from that in terms of quality and ease of assembly. I said I would recommend it to a friend -- but only to a very handy friend. Still, this is a beautifully stylish piece of furniture and I am happy to have it. It will solve the storage problems in our foyer by keeping all the stuff we need out of sight, but right where we need it.
I haven't gotten a chance to put this together yet (there are a TON of pieces and a >10 page booklet), but the quality seems pretty high. Only the back is thin, all other pieces are solid. And, I think the back is wood, not cardboard, but didn't investigate very closely. The color is much more yellow than white, or at least more 'dingy' than white, which was a disappointment. Also, in taking the pieces out of the shipping box I noticed one pre-drilled area that is broken where you have to insert a camlock. I'm hoping it will be fixable. The drawers also have to be put together completely (I saw someone ask in the q&a), this is shipped as a complete flat-pack.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? more yellow than white
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. better than ikea
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate
I LOVE this dresser! Yes, it does come in a zillion pieces, and it did take us almost an entire day to assemble, but time was well spent. Adorable, kinda mid-century meets shabby chic. I did change out a few of the knobs with funkier ones that I wasn't using, so I've personalized it already. But it has enough personality of its own. Great buy.
Thanks to previous reviewers, I knew this piece would take awhile to assemble. I waited until I had a good chunk of time (and a friend) to help out. We worked on it off and on throughout the day and had no problems with assembly. I was really glad I wasn't in a rush though as this is not a quick assembly. It is fairly straightforward with the parts well labeled. The only quibble I had was that the illustrations of the assembly frequently change perspective (the piece all of the sudden has rotated 180 degrees) which was annoying. In terms of the piece itself, it is definitely an off white (which again I knew from previous reviews). The variation in the drawer/door colors is more subtle than it seemed in the stock photo, which was a little disappointing but not a huge deal. Also two of the top drawers are not closing all the way without a fight (which creates a larger fight trying to open them). I am hoping some adjustments will solve that issue though. Overall, I'm very pleased with this piece. Shipping was ridiculously fast too.
Excellent dresser of solid wood. Not that easily put together, but it looks great.
I really love the way this piece looks in my home. I was disappointed by some of the paint blobs and runs I saw. The worst was the backing board for the back is white, but it comes with black nails to nail it to the console. I had planned on having this as a buffet in my kitchen, but it looked so bad, I switched it with another piece in my house. I noticed some comments that said it wasn't ivory/cream. Mine was. It is definitely not white. Mine is a lovely cream color. I also use mine without the legs and it looks great. The drawers and cabinets are great for storage. The top drawers are nice and deep and the bottom cabinets are a good height to get a bunch of stuff in there as well.
Very once you get it put together, alot of piece and took about 3 to 4 hours to put together.
I fell in love with this product as soon as I saw it and I'm not disappointed now that I have it. I love the fun design and it fits my needs perfectly. As many other reviewers have noted, the assembly takes much much longer than the estimated one hour. I worked on it on and off over the course of a day, but I would say three hours would be more accurate. However, the kit came with exactly the right pieces. Not one piece short and not one extra piece left over. One piece was mis-numbered (out of what seemed like hundreds) but it was easy to figure out which piece went where. Once put together, the piece feels very stable and solid. I will probably look for different hardware at some point to make it even more interesting, because, even though the pulls are different shapes, they're all made of the same antique bronze looking material. But overall, I love the piece and recommend it to anyone who needs a stylish storage piece for a small space.
Now that the console is finally built, it looks good (especially from a distance) and improves our room. However, it took three hours to build, as it was unnecessarily intricate, the instructions were difficult to follow (poorly translated, and contained errors), and several parts were incorrectly marked. In the finished product, joints were sloppy, and there were scuffs and pits on supposedly "finished" surfaces. Quality control at the manufacturer is obviously not very high.
This is a great addition to our dining room. Everyone that has come into our home has complimented it - it really does look great and it's very unique. I will say though, that it took me HOURS to put together. I'm not sure I would ever do that again :) But once it was put together I was very pleased with it. Make sure to have enough time to put it together. I put it together over two days by myself. That is the only reason I am knocking a star. Quality, appearance - everything else is great.
Upon opening the really heavy box I was overwhelmed at what appeared to be hundreds of pieces and parts. I read through the directions and decided to "think about it tomorrow". After mentally preparing myself, I laid out all of the parts and methodically put my console together. It took about 4 hours but went together fairly easily. I love the finished product and am proud I put it together myself. I do think that it is a bit pricy but have no regrets about my purchase. It looks great in my family room as or tv console.
This looked great on the site but was very poor quality. There is also a horrible smell that wouldn't go away. We returned it as many pieces were already damaged and the smell lingered for weeks!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Terrible, very cheap, horrible smell
Aside from taking some time to put together on account of it having so many components, once finished it's a gorgeous piece of furniture that's practical and truly makes a statement.
Well made and Beautiful! Comes in many pieces to be assembled but all numbered to make it easy

Less than a year after bidding farewell to illustrious chimpanzee mascot Jonah, E*Trade Financial agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners may suffer a similar fate.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based client recently contacted a few agencies about pitching its account, sources said last week. It was unclear whether E*Trade is looking for a shop to handle its entire account or a new assignment, or if Goodby will be invited to participate.
But the client appears ready to move on: The account has been inactive at Goodby since the Super Bowl in January, and the shop is not working on any new E*Trade work, sources said. In addition, E*Trade hired WPP Group's Landor Associates earlier this year to reposition the company, sources said.
Pamela Kramer, named chief marketing and media officer for E*Trade last month, is making the agency contacts, sources said. She previously led media and content initiatives for the online financial-services company.
E*Trade spent an estimated $40 million on ads last year and $30 million for the first eight months of this year, per CMR.
Goodby representatives could not be reached for comment. Calls to Kra mer were answered by a company representative who said, "We do not comment on rumor or speculation."
Omnicom Group's Goodby won the business in May 1999 after a face-off with the incumbent, Gotham in New York. At the time, the Internet was in its heydey and the client was spending $140 million on advertising.
While E*Trade has found success on the Super Bowl, running spots in every game since 1999, this year marks the first time since 2000 that it will not sponsor the halftime show. The company has not yet decided if it will buy spots during the game.
In 2000, Goodby's Super Bowl ads for E*Trade introduced Jonah the chimp, who danced on a chair. Onscreen text read: "We just wasted $2 million bucks. What are you doing with your money?"
The 2001 spots had the chimp sitting on his high horse, surveying the dot-com wreckage. This year's Super Bowl ad showed Jonah putting on a failed musical, then getting fired by E*Trade CEO Christos Cotsakos and being shot off into space in a rocket.
Goodby's most recent work addressed the heady dot-com days and used the tag: "Times have changed. So have we."
It is unclear if media, handled by Initiative Media, is involved.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 shed nearly 5% in the two weeks following the news of President Obama's reelection, and a number of concerns have been cited for the sell-off. I wrote about the fiscal cliff last week in Fiscal Snooze , noting that I wasn't particularly concerned about it, and I feel the same way about this week's subject: the threat of higher taxes. Many investors appear to have worked themselves into a tizzy about the increased likelihood that they'll soon be paying higher taxes. Given the historically low tax rates that Americans are enjoying right now and the precarious state of the public coffers, tax hikes have long seemed inevitable. The election results have confirmed this for many, and the president's legions of passionate critics are no doubt feeling especially emotional about it. No one knows exactly what's around the corner right now in terms of fiscal policy, but a bevy of potential tax hikes are on the table. The 15% capital gains rate could go up -- one factor widely said to be weighing on shares of Apple ( AAPL), which is down about 19% since mid-September. The 15% dividend tax rate could rise. Tax deductions might be cut back. Obamacare comes with a 3.8% Medicare tax for high-earners, and estate and gift taxes could also increase. Of course, they might not, and investors who make rash decisions in reaction to the political headlines of the moment could wind up paying a heavy price for it. Taxes certainly have a material effect on investment performance, but I'm skeptical of those who think they can react to the national political scene and thread the needle of tax policy changes in their portfolio of stocks and bonds. If you've been contemplating taking a capital gain, then now may be the time to pull the trigger, but I would be wary of anyone suggesting that you should change your investment strategy in any substantial way due to the threat of higher taxes. The New York Times recently reported ( Investors Rush to Beat Threat of Higher Taxes ) that John Moorin, the founder of a medical equipment company near Indianapolis, said he sold about $650,000 in dividend-paying stocks like McDonald's ( MCD) and Coca-Cola ( KO) after the election.

Some patients are rushing into A&E more than 50 times a year, including one person who attended a hospital's emergency department a staggering 234 times.
Almost 12,000 people went back to the same hospital more than 10 times in 2012-13, figures obtained by the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act revealed.
Just over 150 attended more than 50 times, including a patient at Luton and Dunstable Hospital who attended 234 times in the year, while one person went to Sheffield's Northern General 223 times.
Dr Cliff Mann, of the College of Emergency Medicine, said: "At a time when emergency departments are very busy, it is clear that repeat non-emergency attendees are adding to the pressures."
He told the BBC issues such as mental health and drug and alcohol abuse led to frequent visits, suggesting that better community support and improved social care could prevent unnecessary repeat attendances.
Others were using A&E simply because they had had good experiences in the past, while those who struggle with English use A&E "as a default", he said.
Figures for the Christmas period have not yet been released but the government's four hour target for A&E waiting times was missed in England earlier in December.
The drop comes despite the government plunging £350million of extra funding into hospitals across the country to cope with winter pressures.
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, told the BBC access to GPs must be improved.
She added: "It needs to be recognised that every inappropriate attendance at the A&E would detract health professionals from attending to the genuine and often life-threatening emergencies."
A spokeswoman for NHS England said repeat visitors were a "relatively small" proportion compared to the 21million visits to A&Es across the country every year.
She added: "Our A&E departments are trusted by the public and it is really important that people know the NHS will be there for them if they need treatment and care.
"It is also important that patients and the public know about and use the full range of health services in their local area."
Out of 175 hospital trusts and boards the BBC requested information from, 106 responded, covering 183 units.

text: Here at Spatone consumer and scientific research is at the heart of our business. We are constantly striving to provide you and your family with the highest quality, safe and effective, natural healthcare products. To achieve this we have a team of internal and external researchers dedicated to understanding consumer needs in order to evolve our products accordingly. To date there have been three clinical studies on Spatone, natural iron supplement, which have been peer-reviewed and published in world renowned medical journals. Please note: This information is not relevant for the United States of America. Key findings were: Spatone is effective against iron deficiency in pregnancy. Spatone does not cause the side-effects usually associated with conventional iron supplements. Spatone has an average bioavailability of 40% - an absorption rate unmatched by food sources or conventional iron supplements. Clinical studies: G. Halksworth et al. demonstrated the high absorption of Spatone in pregnant women with iron deficiency anaemia. They concluded "Spatone provides an alternative to the standard ferrous sulphate tablet for prevention of iron deficiency in pregnancy" – it has thus been shown that Spatone is effective against iron deficiency in pregnancy. Read the full publication D. McKenna et al. concluded that "Patient compliance with traditional iron supplements is poor and a large number of patients stop their supplements because of gastrointestinal side-effects. In their paper they have shown than Spatone Iron-Plus (previous trade name of Spatone) does not cause these side-effects and helps to prevent iron deficiency in pregnancy". It has thus been shown that spatone does not cause the side-effects usually associated with conventional iron supplements. Read the full publication Prof. Worwood et al. demonstrated mean absorption of iron in Spatone as high as 40% in patients with low iron stores. Study concluded "Spatone provides iron in a highly bio-available form". It has thus been shown that Spatone has an absorption of iron of up to 40%. Read the full publication Spatone is also available with a delicious apple taste and added Vitamin C - all the goodness of Spatone now even more convenient! If you would like to find out more about iron absorption and iron deficiency the following papers might be of interest to you: Beard JL, Hendricks MK et al (2005) Maternal iron Deficiency Anaemia Affects Postpartum Emotions and Cognition.

Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine 158(12): 1113-1115. Lozoff B (2000) Perinatal Iron Deficiency and the Developing Brain. Pediatric Research 48:137-138. Perez EM, Hendricks MK, Beard JL et al (2005) Mother-infant interactions and infant development are altered by maternal iron deficiency anaemia.

Incredibly bright - pain to listen to
2016 Volkswagen Golf
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
As a preface to this review, I do have a tendency to like warm rich sound. For example, my other vehicle is a Lexus GX460 with the factory stereo which to me sounds absolutely wonderful. I listen to all types of music except EDM and I like it clean and accurate (no big bass/cripsy highs for me). I purchased these speakers as a last ditch attempt to get decent sound into my 2016 VW eGolf. They are powered via a Soundstream 5 channel nano amp, supplemented with a small 8" sub, and fed via stock headunit connected to LC7i dsp. I had pretty high expectations based on the reviews and refrained from posting for several months to make sure they had properly broken in. No matter what adjustments I make these things are so bright it pains me to listen to them. In fact, I dread getting into the car and listening to anything but FM radio because I know I will instantly get annoyed by the harsh ear-piercing sound. These speakers will be replaced soon.
Pros: Relatively inexpensive.
Cons: Bright!!

I have if statements in my single.php that check to see if a field exists and to put the code in the if statement if it does. The problem is it's printing the value of the_field('field') that I'm calling as well as puts the code in the if statement. Below is the code and I get the_field('field'); value in the website in "Quotes".
<?php if (the_field('poem_title_1') !== false ) : ?>
<div class="graphic-bg" style="background-image: url(<?php echo the_field('poem_image_1'); ?>); background-size: cover;">

<?php the_field('poem_title_1'); ?>

<?php the_field('poem_1'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
It's not goint to ruin the website, I can just keep the content on top of it but it adds in like 1px or margin and I don't want to sweep that under the digital rug so to speak. I'm hoping someone knows why it's printing and can tell me how to MURDER it.

CRS in Guatemala
Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America. It is also the youngest with almost half of Guatemala's population under the age of 19. Although Guatemala has the largest economy in Central America, social and economic inequality is high as more than half of the population lives in poverty. The indigenous population is especially affected, resulting in limited access to health, education and economic opportunities. Nearly one-half of Guatemala's children under age five are chronically malnourished, one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. One of CRS' biggest focuses in Guatemala is protecting the rights of children through work with unaccompanied minors and addressing hazardous child labor conditions.
People served: 585,028 (FY 2014: 116,243 direct; 468,785 indirect)
Population: 14,647,083 (July 2014 est.)

CRS' History in Guatemala
Catholic Relief Services has worked in Guatemala since 1963. Initially, our work focused on humanitarian assistance to ease poverty and bring about a better standard of living for the needy. This included a food distribution program linked to education, mother-child health, agriculture, and reforestation activities in collaboration with the National Caritas Office in the 1970s. CRS also provided $13 million in food, medicine, and relief items to those affected by the 7.5-magnitude earthquake that killed 23,000 people and left many thousands homeless in 1976. Over the years, our scope has expanded to include implementing programs focused on food security, nutrition and health, sustainable agriculture, education, civil society, disaster risk reduction and emergency response.

Dell's Chromebook 11 will ship on 16 January
Will cost just £159
COMPUTER MAKER Dell has confirmed that its Chromebook 11 will launch in the US on 16 January.
Speaking with a product manager at Dell World this week, The INQUIRER were told that though this is a firm US date, the UK date should be a very similar time.
On Wednesday, Dell became the latest laptop maker to announce plans for a Chromebook in 2014, following similar announcements from Asus and Toshiba earlier this year.
Named the Dell Chromebook 11, the affordable Chrome OS powered laptop will retail for just £159 when it launches in the UK and US sometime in January and will be available online.
Dell's Chromebook 11 is aimed at the education sector, and is "designed to facilitate integration of technology in the classroom for teachers, students and administrators," offering an affordable alternative to Windows or Mac machines.
"The Dell Chromebook 11 features exceptional manageability and security with an easy to use web-based console that enables centralised configuration and tracking," Dell explained. "The management console allows IT administrators and teachers to quickly push or remove applications and enforce safe browsing practices across all Chromebooks in a school's network or in a specific learning environment."
The Chromebook has an 11.6in display with 1366x768 resolution. Dell said that it measures less than one inch thick and weighs 1.3kg.
As you'd expect for such a low price point, Dell's Chromebook 11 isn't the most powerful device, but Dell claims it is powerful enough to perform all the tasks required by the Chrome OS with ease. The device sports a Haswell based Intel Celeron 2955U processor, Dell claims it has up to 10 hours of battery life.
There's a 16GB SSD for internal storage, which might not sound like much, but Google also bundles 100GB of free cloud storage with its Chromebook, free for the first two years.
Dell said that the Chromebook 11's SSD enables it to boot up in less than 8.4 seconds. It will be available in two models, one with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and another with 2GB of RAM.
"This provides options for the education ecosystem, allowing students, teachers and administrators to access, create and collaborate throughout the day at a price point that makes widespread student computing initiatives affordable," Dell said.
It also boasts two USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and an HDMI port. Expect to see it available online over the next month or so. µ

Just what I needed to build my jockey box.
I purchased this cooler for my husband who is a head coach for a little league football team. When I saw this item I thought it would be great so he wouldn't have to carry a cooler filled with ice and water, that he could just pull it behind him. This would be so much easier but to my surprise when he tilted the cooler back on its wheels and began across the field the water started to leak out from the top. So by the time he reached his destination the cooler was not as full. So even though this is a great idea I feel as there is still some tweeking that needs to be done .
Use this to haul water while camping. 5 Gallons means that you don't have to go to the pump as often. The wheels really help getting the water back to the campsite. Has big fill opening so when you are hand pumping the water it all goes into the container.
First time out cooler fell over in back of SUV and spilled contents
all over back. Not very stable. Lid was supposed to lock so no
spillage can occur when in use. That fell off twice.
Keeps liquid cold is the best thing I can say about this item.
Purchased 2 of these for a 3 day campout music festival. Worked GREAT. We had water the whole time which is great when its 90+ out. Held ice for 3 days just like expected. Very sturdy and the suitcase style wheels and handle were perfect for toting them around.
I bought this item initially to carry water when camping. Yes, when tilted water will leak just a little when transporting on the ground. A layer of plastic wrap under the lid solves that. I also use this as a ice chest/cooler to hold my beer leaving my ice chest for "real" food.
Works well for our gatorade and ice water on manufacturing floor.
Bought this thinking wheels were worth a few extra bucks....not, because it leaks. 1. BEWARE - The lid does not screw shut. It clips shut. Sitting in the back of my SUV, this cooler leaked a good amount of water driving to our campsite. I checked the closure. It was closed securely, but this does not prevent leakage when the cooler is tilted or when the water is sloshing around due to movement (hills, bumps, acceleration, deceleration). 2. Returned the Igloo wheeled cooler to the store and noted one of the display models had a broken closure clip. Obviously, the top closure mechanism is not well made. Decided to buy the Coleman (losing the wheels), because the Coleman has a secure screw down lid.
This was so easy to fill, the transport to a birthday at the park. It rolled effortlessly and had to issues. The lid could be a bit tighter of a seal, but since it was just water it was no big deal. If it had been anything else, the drive to the park might have been a bit messy.
I purchased this cooler for use with my children's athletic teams. It was several months after the purchase that I finally used it. I was filling the cooler in my kitchen when all of the sudden I realized water was pouring out of the bottom of the cooler. The spout for water was completely broken. and water was gushing out around it.
This cooler is great for transporting your drinks because it is on wheels and has a handle. The base stands the cooler high enough to easily get your cup under the spout to fill.
The only thing I did not like was the latch for the lid. It doesn't seem to want to stay tight.
Love the handle and wheels! So much easier to haul when full.

Tablet Transformation
IPads and tablet devices have become important to sales and marketing professionals in home products and many other industries, according to a recent survey of business professionals.
How iPads and tablets are changing the face of sales and marketing
Rental Program Revamp
Here is a story that I have heard far too often over the years:
"John" has been a professional water treatment dealer for eight years. Like many, he built his business from the ground up. By his own admission, he had more determination than money, so things were tight for a few years, but his business continued to grow.
Rental programs help dealers ride out the economic recession
Selling the Senses
Rather than sharing statistics, tactics, strategies and scripts that manipulate an outcome, let's discuss what motivates consumers to buy and how that impacts closing sales.
A Nation of Consumers
We are all consumers, and by that, I mean we all buy stuff. We not only consume products and services out of need, we actually enjoy buying. Interestingly, there are several studies stating that we buy to soothe and satisfy emotional needs. Buying things has become a self-prescribed form of therapy.
Motivation to Buy
Reading a customer's needs and desires to help close a sale
Sales Demonstration Kits
Clearly and effectively demonstrate to customers the differences between untreated and treated water with these sales demonstration kits. Choose either traditional color comparison tests or digital test kits featuring the ColorQ DW photometer. Customize your kit with a choice of four different softener units and optional tests, including TDS.
Nelsen Corp. Hires Terry Heckman
Heckman was past president of the Pacific Water Quality Assn.
Nelsen Corp. recently appointed Terry Heckman to western regional sales manager. In his new role, Heckman's responsibilities are to lead and coordinate sales efforts and further current dealer development in the company's Arizona location, as well as to create and execute the strategy to further strengthen sales and market share in the western region.
Testing: A Vital Service
Whether you are a sales, installation or service professional, water testing is vital to completing your job. Providing consultation, offering recommendations and addressing problems can only be done after a proper water analysis has been completed.
Testing Parameters
Provide value to customers by evaluating water quality
Optimizing Online Advertising
Anyone who has ever used Google knows the search engine enables companies to advertise products and services next to search results, as well as on websites, Google Maps and many other places on the Web. These ads can be a great way for businesses to build Web traffic and see positive results.
In order to ensure that these ads provide the most benefit, it is important to know how to use Google AdWords, a bidding system used by advertisers to help determine when and where their ads will display. Advertisers competitively bid to display their ads next to the keywords they specify.
Strategies for targeting customers with effective online ads
Research Revamp
Over the past several years, the Water Quality Assn. (WQA) and the Water Quality Research Foundation (WQRF) have completed three research studies that provide the industry with insights into their core customers and the quantifiable benefits of using softened water. While this research is valuable in and of itself, when put in the hands of a trained salesperson, it can be the difference between making a sale and going home without that much-sought-after order.
Integrating softened water research into sales presentations
The Power of the Payment
Does your dealership offer financing? I hope not. That may be a shocking statement coming from the sales manager of a finance company, but allow me to explain.
Pick up your local newspaper or listen to a local radio station—everyone from plumbers to roofers "offers financing." If you or your staff are using those words when speaking to customers or in advertisements, then you are just one of the pack. Your message lacks focus and becomes meaningless, which could cause customers to drift away, thinking they cannot afford to buy a quality water system for their home.
Improving sales with effective use of financing
Keeping Up With the Times
If the articles in this month's Dealer Insight special section are any indication, today's customers are changing. This means dealers need to change their sales approaches too—keeping up not only with customers' needs, but also the latest technology, research and regulations.
