definitive: authoritative and apparently exhaustive
In the battle of the music game bands, Guitar Hero and Rock Band have had their back and forth for innovation. It seems this year the two properties have taken divergent paths. While Neversoft's Guitar Hero has chosen the well-trodden path of story-driven musical game play, Harmonix has turned it's latest salvo, Rock Band 3, into a song powerhouse that may turn itself into a video game version of iTunes. And have I mentioned that it provides the basics for learning a real instrument? Rock Band 3 is the definitive music video game of this console generation.
What strange magic has the staff at Harmonix added to the bubbly cauldron that is Rock Band 3? For one they added a new instrument, keys, to the mix. Now in addition to guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, players can also play the keyboard provided they have the right equipment which their partners at Mad Catz will be very happy to sell you. Rock Band 3 also keeps the Harmony Vocals that Harmonix implemented in The Beatles Rock Band and Green Day Rock Band.
Also added to this strange brew is the addition of Pro modes for all the instruments except for vocals. These Pro modes offer realistic ways to play the music on Rock Band 3 and changes the look and challenge of game. While the Pro guitar modes requires players to have a midi-ready guitar, like Fender's Squire Stratocaster (available in early 2011), and the Mad Catz's Midi Pro Adapter. The Pro Keys can be played with Mad Catz' keyboard (or keytar) or any mini-ready keyboard and, you guess it, the Mad Catz Midi Pro Adapter. Also for those drummers wanting to take it up a notch and switch to Pro Drums, they will also need to add cymbals to their Rock Band drums.
If you've made the decision to try your luck at Pro modes or even try to learn how to play those musical instruments for real, Rock Band 3 will school you in the basic via their Rock Band 3 Trainers. Much like their drum trainers from previous incarnations, these trainers allow players to learn at their own pace and as they feel more confident can increase the speed of the lessons or move on to more difficult lessons. Moving from rocking out to a video game to rocking out on a real life stage is nothing short of revolutionary for a video game. Harmonix has climbed the music game Mount Everest.
As for game play, Rock Band 3 allows players to play as they want to experience the game. Quickplay remains in the game for those just wanting to play just for the hell of it, and if alcohol is involved, No Fail Mode can be easily added. For those players wanting to feel like they've grown their fictional bands, they can compete in Road Challenges that take various tour legs with multiple stops for band performances. Each stop even gives the players three different setlists to choose from. In addition, for players that want to grow their own rocker, they can dive into a Progress area in which they can complete challenges (including the popular Endless Setlist) to checkoff badges on their progress (and even win new items to dress up your character). The challenges can even be completed while playing any of the other modes. One problem with the game play is sometimes the use of white lights or other bright colors in the background washes out the top part of the fretboard play area. This can sometimes mean a shorter response time from when the forthcoming notes appear and when the player can react to them. This often clears up when the player hit their max bonus for notes successfully hit.
The art style with each Rock Band game change just a bit and that certainly holds true with Rock Band 3. The are new rock moves that various members of the band performs. Unfortunately the rather mirror-look of the audience reactions remain, most likely having to do with what the game engine can handle. The game seems to push across the notion that sometimes it isn't about venue but more about the experience. There appeared to be instances when some songs would be in a video mode in which the graphic artists really went to town with sometimes cliche music video staples like negative imagine and what not. However at other times the songs would be played on a traditional stage, some of those stages will be familiar to players who have played previous Rock Band games.
The sound in any music game is very important, and in Rock Band 3 it remains well-mastered and even improved. With the addition of the keys as a playable instrument it looks as if the sound has gotten even better. The game still allows players to change options for how loud you want to audience to be or how much you want to hear your pitch-handicapped "lead singer" instead of the song's performer to come out of the speakers.
Another valuable addition to Rock Band 3 is it's filtering system. With well over 2000 songs available for Rock Band 3, there may be songs that the player loves or would rather avoid. Every song now offers players a chance to rate the song they played. When a road challenge requires a random song, or when a player plays a random song on Quickplay, the game will use that data to have those songs you like more appear more often. In addition when picking songs to play, players can now press the Orange button and have a astounding number of ways they can filters their catalog of songs to find what suits them. Also, the filter can also suggest other songs the player may like and can buy as DLC.
There's been a lot of talk about what's been added to Rock Band 3, but let's address a big item that has gone missing. Gone from Rock Band 3 is competitive multiplayer but co-operative multiplayer remains and is refined in this edition of the Harmonix opus. Now your fellow in-room and online players can switch their difficulty during the song if they discover that they might have bitten off more than they can chew playing Primus' "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" on Expert bass. However if you loved proving your Rock Band prowess to any and all competitor you will be disappointed to see that those battles are now a thing of the past.
One other happy change in Rock Band 3 is that the walls between where a song comes from has fallen down. In Rock Band 2 you could play songs of the disc and Rock Band DLC songs, but the songs from Rock Band Network existed in their own area that could only be played in Quickplay. These RBN songs would not show up when the setlist asked for random songs. In Rock Band 3, however, it doesn't matter where a song originates, it is included in your Road Challenges, your progress and accumulation of fans. It gives the material available in Rock Band Network an equal footing with the other DLC and songs on the Rock Band 3 disc.
With additions of a new instrument, a new Pro mode, new trainers, and several key tweaks to the game series, Rock Band 3 has become the definitive music video game. Add in the weekly and even daily new content (counting Rock Band Network), Rock Band 3 even offers a robust choice for players to play what they want and in a whatever cooperative manner they choose. In Rock Band 3, Harmonix has managed to become a delightful and fun-filled video game, but also a doorway for some a chance to fulfill their real life rock ambitions.
A copy of Rock Band 3 was provided for the purpose of evaluation and review.

The race was held in Bakersfield on a new course this year. The promoter did a great job, they had tents to give the riders shade and large containers of liquids and it was very organized. The roads were great and the course was very challenging.
The 60+ race started at approximately7:35 a.m., and it was already a little warm. Not knowing the course, I decided to refrain from attacking until the second lap. The first lap pace was fairly mellow with a few worker bees setting a moderate pace. After the 1st lap turn around the peloton became antsy and we had a few attacks but no one was able to get away from this very alert field. Then when we started the first climb a few miles later, Don Davidson made an attack and went clear. The peloton did not react, I was thinking this was perfect, I had a rabbit to go after. I waited until the climb got steeper and made my move. I jumped hard, and I had Steve Bernede on my wheel, I sat down and settled into a hard tempo. Steve was still there along with a single file line behind him. I surged and lost Steve and the rest, then I took the pace up a little higher. Shortly after I caught Don and eased as I passed yelling at him to get on, he did. When we hit a short section on the down hill Don came around a couple of times not wanting to be a slacker, to his demise he came off on the next hill. From that point on, it was a time trial for me (my specialty). I felt good and kept the hammer down just backing off a few kilo's from the finish when I couldn't see the chase group. I coasted across the line to victory. The peloton finished a couple of minutes later with Mike Marotta winning the sprint in 2nd and John Rubcic taking 3rd.

Crocodile facts
Some interesting facts about crocodiles
The crocodiles are reptiles of the Crocodylidae family (which also includes, the alligators, caimans and the gharial). Crocodiles can be traced back to the Cretaceous period and the Triassic period.
in general, are animals of elongated body and tail, long snout with
which they show several sharp and conical teeth (usually 28 to 32
teeth in the upper jaw and 30-40 teeth in lower jaw). In crocodiles, the
snout is narrower in the end when compared to alligators, with the fourth tooth on each side of the
lower jaw visible when the mouth is closed.
All crocodiles are semi-aquatic animals (they spend a great deal of time in water, but also need to go to shore) which, depending on the species, can be found in rivers, estuaries, coastal regions or open sea. They swim, usually on the surface with eyes and nostrils above the water line and boost their body with the help of their very strong tail.
Crocodiles are carnivores, and among them, are big predators such as the Nile crocodile or the Saltwater crocodile. The Saltwater crocodile is the largest reptile alive, because it can reach 7 meters long and more than one tonne (1000 kg) in weight.
When juveniles they feed on small prey (insects, fish, frogs), but as they growing they start hunting prey ever larger, until the size of a large antelope or gazelle (watch the video).
Like other reptiles, crocodiles are endothermic (cold-blooded, or whose body temperature varies with the temperature of the environment) and, therefore, need to sunbathe, to raise the temperature of their body. If it is too hot, they prefer water or shade when available.
The crocodilians are oviparous (they reproduce by means of eggs that are deposited outside the womb) and are the only reptiles that exhibit true parental care. Thus, most of the crocodiles build nests, with heaps of soil or plant debris, the remaining species of crocodiles dig burrows on the banks of rivers or beaches. The female, in general, and sometimes the male remains nearby to protect the eggs from predators.
Before the hatching, the young will emit vocalizations (sounds), to which the mother responds by scooping the top of the nest to help them out the eggs and nest. Sometimes the female holds the newborn in her mouth and takes them to the water, protecting them afterwards sometimes for weeks or even months. At birth the young crocodiles will measure only about 20 centimeters and are very vulnerable to predators.
Man is the main enemy of crocodiles through the hunt for their skin to trade and the destruction of their natural habitat.

You'd be amazed (and probably delighted) by the options modern dentistry makes available for strong, natural-looking tooth restoration. Read on for more information about the exciting new cosmetic dental materials we have available now.
Traditionally, gold has been the "gold standard" of materials, and for good reason. Gold is highly biocompatible and is very long-wearing. A gold tooth, however, is not natural looking.
Today's a porcelain crowns or veneers don't mean choosing between strength and a lifelike appearance. You can opt for both. New all-porcelain crowns and veneers are available that look like natural teeth. They're durable enough to be used even for molars. This super-strong new generation porcelain is so resilient and tough it's being used in the manufacture of some tennis rackets!
Silver fillings (the kind that turn black) are a thing of the past. Instead, a composite resin filling can be used. And it's just as strong and durable as silver, and more closely reflects the color of the original tooth surface.
If you've had some cosmetic dentistry work done in the past, you'll be happy to know you're no longer locked into the choices of even five years ago. Modern dentistry is evolving rapidly, and fresher, more natural smiles, are the result.
Make sure your cosmetic dentist's office is interested in what's new for their patients. Ask them about other exciting new options (dental implants, teeth bleaching, onlays, inlays, etc.) they can offer you for your smile.
Everyone knows Mona Lisa's smile, but who knows what she meant by it?
Psychologists tell us that, in our ancient past, a smile was a gesture of appeasement. They also believe that, to modern man, a smile signals many different messages - recognition, sympathy, apology, lessening of tension, confusion, embarrassment, doubt, joy, delight. A smile, social observers agree, is a mask behind which we can hide our true feelings.
This mask is a complex gesture. First the corners of the lips curl upward. Then, as the smile grows, front teeth are exposed. In our culture we consider people with glistening white teeth and a beautiful smile to be "good" people. Bad teeth, on the other hand, tend to distort the smile "message" because, curiously, we subconsciously judge others by their teeth.
Some people believe that teeth are a more important element of beauty than the eyes.
Have you noticed that, in the movies and on TV, the "good guys" never have broken teeth or a missing tooth? The "bad guys" almost always do.
Nearly all dentistry affects our appearance, and our appearance affects our sense of personal worth. Among the many things that a cosmetic dentist can do to give you a beautiful smile are:
So … cosmetic dentists are scientists, clinicians, artists and image-makers!

Kim Gordon: the music lady
So exciting to see Kim Gordon (formally of Sonic Youth) premiere a brand new song on her own. It's tough to do this, especially when you have been part of a band for over 25 years. Love her courage - and the song!
The woman who created this Broadway musical is looking for producers for her December 2016 engagement at La Mama Theatre in New York City. She is looking for Producers to support her endeavor in December. If you have any interest or know someone who might, please reach out to me and I will connect you to one of her producers here in Cleveland. Check out her show at http://chix6.com/.
It is with great excitement that I'm announcing the completion of my short film Water Breath Woman. Filmed in 2013, I prodded my way through learning Adobe Premiere and editing the film myself - finally completing it this summer. Thank you to everyone who helped me pull this together including the team at Stonehaven Studios in Cleveland, Ohio.
I am so very excited to announce that my new book is now available! This has been a labor of love and I'm very excited to see it in print. You can find it on Amazon.com and Apple iTunes Bookstore. This is a self-published book and is the best price I can offer without a publisher.
I'd love to hear from individuals and couples who carved on these trees from years ago. Although I don't support the carving of trees, I would be thrilled to hear their stores and the reasons and memories behind their carvings.
Thank you so much for supporting my work!
Organizing Your Dreams
Goal setting and organizing tasks associated with reaching your goals can be daunting at times. However, benefits of staying on track with your goals include powerful results like achievement, financial reward, public recognition and success.
I am asked often about the best ways to organize creative goals and have designed a goal system that works well for me based on the influences of Steven Covey, GTD and Danielle DeLaporte. In year's past, I used to work with a spreadsheet to keep track of my goals. I would reference it periodically throughout the year, but I never found it very influential in my daily and weekly planning.
This year, I have created an excellent way maximize my goals using a simple journal and a regular weekly routine. It is simple. Low-cost. And has been extremely effective!
Step 1: Purchase a blank journal. Nothing fancy required. Lined or not-lined. Your choice. Here's an example. And another.
Step 2: Add an intention to your journal on the first page. For example: I open my arms wide and declare with love that I deserve and accept all good (a Louise Hay classic).
Step 3: List your yearly goals on the first two pages. I use this as a reference to keep me on task throughout the year. If find this helpful to keep me on track as it is an easy reference to monitor my success. This all works assuming that you have goals already. If you don't, check out The Desire Map to get you on the right track!
Step 4: To maximize this journal, you will want to write your weekly goals down on one page for each week. You can use your yearly goals as a guide. Make your weekly goals realistic and based on your availability. If you desire, add a deadline to a goal or task to keep you on track.
Step 5: Each week, write down a new to do list. I also make notes about any challenges or successes from the previous week.
With focus and dedication, your weekly tasks will help you reach your yearly goals and you will soon be on the track to success. The key is to create a weekly or monthly routine that you can commit to consistently. Remember, action on a consistently and regular basis leads to results. I recommend a weekly review. I do know some creatives who write their tasks down daily, but I found this too overwhelming and not as effective.
Don't let this year pass you by! Create long-term goals at anytime of the year and build the life that you truly want to live.
GivE Yourself Permission to Create
I believe that you consciously need to make space for your creative work. If you are a full-time artist, then your art can be all consuming, both with your time and energy. If you are a part-time artist, sometimes it is hard to find time to work on your art. This can be frustrating and can lead to a lack of motivation or procrastination.
To prevent burnout or launch your ideas or projects, you need to consciously give yourself space to do nothing. This means embracing complete and total self-care on a regular basis. Get a massage. Take a vacation. Go to your favorite performance. Take the day off. Give yourself time to do nothing. Doing this will give you the downtime you need to marinate on an upcoming project or come up with an idea to start one.
Several years ago, I was eating in a diner in New Orleans and overhead a gentleman speaking to his friend who said, "I am working on several projects right now." This complete stranger sent me into a spiral of self-defeat. At the time, I wasn't working on anything artistic. I was in a void of creativity. I remember mentally beating myself up for not having any creative projects at the time. I wanted to be like this man. Full of energy about my projects and excited to have several creative things swirling about me.
Looking back at this experience, I was in a personal transition in many areas of my life when this incident occurred. It wasn't that I didn't want to create. I just didn't have time nor the energy to pursue my creative ideas at that time. My energy was consumed by other things. I had no desire to create. I was creatively dormant.
I remember being frustrated as I waited for my creativity to emerge again. Many of my creative friends were working on their projects and I was completely uninspired. I longed for moments of silence. I spent time in nature. I passively observed the creativity of others. I wondered if my creativity would ever emerge again!
Then, a few months later, something happened. I started to feel creative again. It was like a burst of light pushed out of my being. Ideas started flowing. Fingers started typing. My mind felt open and free to explore new ideas, topics and things. Out of this positive energy expression came the ideas for not only a film but a photographic study as well.
Finding Your creative flow
Many famous artists and philosophers say that you know you are (in the right place / doing the right thing / in a great relationship / earning money) when you feel like you are in the flow. You are in the moment. At peace. You feel enchanted, light, magical.
So, how can you get to this place? Here are a few ways to maneuver your way there.
1. Be grateful where you are right now. Instead of worrying about improving your art or your practice, focus on your success right now. Cherish your latest work. Display your work in your house or studio so you can see your success right now. Cherish your work as is! Journal about your current work with questions like: How did creating this make you feel? What inspired you to create it? Is the art just for you or will you share it publicly? Where can this art take you? And, don't forget to explore the work that didn't turn out as you planned. Sometimes, your best work can be born from your greatest mistakes.
2. Be in the moment when you are creating. Silence or quiet time can lead you to your creative space within yourself. Consider meditating for up to 30 minutes before beginning your creative practice. This will be time well-spent to center your mind, body and spirit and focus your thoughts on creativity. When ready, you can spend time on manifesting the feelings you want to express when creating instead of focusing on technique or the final outcome. If you really enjoy creating to music, then put on your favorite artist and enjoy every moment!
These are just two ways to get your creative flow on...I'd love to hear more about what you do to get in the flow. Leave a comment on this blog or Facebook!
Carving out time to create
A friend recently confided in me that she was a having a hard time finding time to create. After a full day at work, managing her family and adding in mandatory workout time, she was frustrated that she had little time - and energy - left to work on her creative projects. It can be tough carving out time to create if you have a life full of responsibilities and obligations. But, it can be done!
Rule Number One: Make Time for Your Art
You must make your creative projects a priority in your life if you want to move them forward. It is essential to create time to work on your projects - even if you can only carve out a few hours a week. If you have a life partner, let them know how important it is for you to work on your projects and ask for their support by scheduling the free time you need to work on your projects. Or, find a friend who you can share your vision with and connect with them on a weekly basis and share your progress with them. You need to celebrate your art!
Even if you can only carve out one or two hours a week, you will begin to feel accomplished as you move through the months and the years. Be sure to add these creative times to your calendar. Hold yourself accountable for meeting with yourself.
Schedule an "art" vacation! Every quarter, take a few days off to work non-stop on your creative projects. If you art is mobile, schedule time away to really focus on your work. Take photos in Paris. Watercolor at the beach. Visit your favorite museums for inspiration. Dream about your upcoming artistic plans as you attend your favorite music or art festival.
Don't let life get in the way of your creative art!
why make art?
Humans have been making art for thousands of years. The innate desire to process our emotions and manifest them into the physical form began with the cave paintings. The earliest humans would draw from their daily experiences and leave record of what they saw and how they lived.
It is important to make art - whether you self-identify as an artist or not! Art allows you to escape ego and tap into the deepest part of yourself. I believe that many of the best and most revered artists of our time tapped into their inner consciousness at the time they were making the art. They didn't let the "rules" of making art limit them. They used inspiration of nature or their personal life experience to create iconic art.
Why make art?
Some artists do it for the money alone. It is a talent they were born with and they use it to its maximum benefit. But, if you look beyond money, why create art? What is the point? I believe that is the paradox that artists struggle with constantly. "If someone isn't going to buy this, then why do I even bother?" is a familiar statement for many artists. The reasons you "bother" to create art are endless.
Here is just a short list of great reasons to create art:
I'd love to hear more about why you create art! It is important to have a mission statement as an artist - any artist! Sit down at your computer or with pen and paper and think about your reasons for creating your art. Here are a few examples for you!
I create my art to share love and peace with the world.
My art pushes the limits of photography through vivid colors and unique landscapes. I create this art to show nature in a whole new way.
My art is a fun way for me to express myself and show the world who I am!
Remember, your mission statement may change overtime as your art changes and you grow. Be sure to check in on your statement once a year and see if you need to write a new one or edit it.
Surrender to your EXpansive dreams
"I wish I can do anything I think of."

Have any of you heard of Smile.ly? I signed up a while back and am really enjoying the program. Smile.ly gives you the opportunity to try new products in exchange for spreading your honest opinion about the it. They offer you the "mission" and you can choose whether you would like to accept it or not.
This program is free and is great if you like to try new products like myself! They send you the product or a code to get it online for free and then once you try it, you spread the word, it's really easy!
If anyone else is already signed up, how do you like the program? Let us know in the comments!

Marquee takes the EDC experience to the next level
Published on 06/25/2013 Author : Deanna Rilling
As over 100,000 electronic music loving fans ascended upon each of three nights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to enjoy the bumping beats of more than 75 artists, Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub took the experience to an even higher level with the ultimate VIP option at this year's Electric Daisy Carnival.
When "headliners" arrived (EDC's moniker for festival-goers), they were greeted at the high-end VIP check-in and were presented with custom Marquee Q ferris-wheel backbacks loaded up with limited-edition shirts, acrylic light-up Marquee medallion necklaces to get into the spirit of the festival, branded bubbles and more. A body-painting artist upped the ante with custom designs to enhance the colorful costumes headliners arrived in as part of the festival spirit, and all guests were presented with SnoBar alcoholic frozen treats. Hopping aboard custom golf-carts adorned with Marquee's mascot, Mr. Q, and purple seats, VIPs were whisked away to the main stage VIP deck as a custom glowing Marquee sign welcomed them to party central. At the secondary entrance to the Marquee deck, fans without reservations clamored to get in and see the nightclub's offering for themselves.
Creating a massive open-air nightclub complete with upscale décor, multiple bars and tables so close one could feel like they were part of the action on the main stage adorned with neon daisies and a moving owl presiding over the DJ booth, the Marquee crew's attention to detail shows why it's the top nightclub in the country.
From creative bottle service presentations with sexy cocktail waitresses—including the debut of Mr. Q's counterpart Ms. Q—the electric experience bottle service packages reflected the high energy spirit of EDC with all the spectacular fanfare Marquee fans have become accustom to.
For three nights overlooking the main Kinetic Field stage highlighting some of the biggest names in the biz, including Marquee regulars Armin van Buuren, Avicii and Tritonal, plus residents Dash Berlin and Sander van Doorn, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and many more, popping bottles abounded. Other Marquee friends playing EDC on the festival's seven stages included Benny Benassi, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Fatboy Slim, Cosmic Gate and Rebecca & Fiona. Many of the DJs playing the festival also got in on the Marquee action before and after their sets, including techno master Richie Hawtin, the legendary Pete Tong, and an assortment of other EDM talent, star sightings such as Jermaine Dupri, Holly Madison and Paris Hilton, plus notable industry movers and shakers.

Richard Garcia
Wild Water Adventure, once known as "Clovis Lakes" is a staple summertime hangout for locals and visiting families. The trees and foliage are well established and the water slides are concentrated into a tidy well surfaced area. Be sure to bring water shoes or flip flops because the concrete is brutal in the summer. Eye candy is abound so bring your sunglasses to protect your eyes and stay discreet while checking out dat asphalt. Worth the trip especially if you can find discounted coupons or are willing to commit to season passes.
James Townsend
Lot of opportunity for fun here. Does get crowded due to limitation of attractions but the layout and overall size is nice. Would like to do actual BBQ etc here and focus the day on more than just the limited number of slides.
Tyler Fremming
Great place with far more space than water parks in the bay area. Take kids here and run them out of energy :). The they'll look like this before you can buckle them in when leaving...
Daniel Ybarra
Always loved the place even as a kid. Now I get to take my kids there and they loved it. I Really like that u can take your own food in and even BBQ right on the property... need a upgrade/some remodeling but besides that very worthwhile place to visit!
I've been coming here for years this time under come in after 4 submission cheaper plus there's more room and canopies there's some for free right in front of Waterway pool

Companies are always looking for cost-effective, turnkey solutions that will increase their profitability without increasing their costs.
Every day, consumers spend almost $7.4 billion shopping on the Internet. Everyday brick and mortar businesses are losing money to the Internet.
Having an online presence will increase your profitability substantially as more and more people are turning to the internet to conduct business.
Not at all! Sure, we work with Fortune 500 companies and some pretty big organizations, but we also work with a lot of small and medium sized businesses. Some of our best and most successful clients started out as one-person companies! Of course, one of the big advantages of partnering with EDG while you are just starting off is that you won't have to shift companies as you get larger. We know what works and what doesn't, so we can help you grow according to YOUR schedule.
No. While Ecommerce Design Group has its head office in Toronto, Canada we have development houses in the US and hold a strong global presence. But, whether you're near one of our offices or not, we are happy to be your Web development partner. Indeed, as evidenced by our international clients, being in the online industry makes it both possible and easy to work together regardless of physical location.
EDG builds a wide range of web sites, and each site is custom built. That means custom graphics and custom functionality – specifically for your needs and built for your audience.

Contact us today and set up an in-person or phone meeting to learn how EDG can help you with your web site. Besides, the initial meeting is free, so give us a call!
Please contact us for a free consultation and we will gladly asses your needs.
Can you work with my marketing department and/or advertising agency for graphic development?
Yes, if desired, EDG will gladly work with your marketing department or advertising agency for graphic development to ensure that your Web site is properly communicating your brand. However, this third-party involvement can influence the length of the graphic design process.

Here at EDG we rely on our extensive Intranet system for the management of several areas of our business to facilitate internal communication and progress.

Of course, successful project management also relies on clear and continual communication between EDG and the client. During initial meetings, your project manager will work with you to determine the best method of keeping you up-to-date as the project progresses and, shortly after the kick-off meeting, you will be provided with a detailed project plan that will outline the scope of the work and key milestones. As development progresses, you will be provided with graphic design previews and a beta site, which rely on your feedback, approval, and testing. Indeed, keeping your project on task is a mutual effort.

I wish to thank all who responded to my question of the mold on the wood. The builder did send someone over to spray a bleach solution on this to keep me quite. Now if I might ask another question, I would like to finish my basement later on. Should I consider sealing the basement floor rightaway or let it stand for awhile. I would appreciate any comments.

Callum Ferguson

Callum Ferguson
Bats Right Hand.
Bowls Right Arm Medium
After compiling tallies of 733 and 503 runs in his first two first-class seasons with South Australia, Callum Ferguson signalled himself as a player to watch.
Despite briefly losing his place in the Redbacks side in 2006-07, he returned and flourished in the shorter forms of the game to earn his ODI debut in 2009. Ferguson posted five impressive half-centuries in 25 ODIs that year before suffering a serious knee injury while fielding in the 2009 Champions Trophy final, ruling him out of the entire 2009-10 season.
He has struggled to break back into the Australia side since then, despite a handful of impressive performances each season that have reminded selectors of his immense ability.
He has also been an important player for Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League before he moved to Melbourne Renegades for the 2014-15 tournament.
He reminded all of his unquestionable talent in November 2015, when he hammered 213 for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield fixture against Tasmania.
But after averaging an impressive 53.11 from five matches, Ferguson suffered another knee injury and sat out the remainder of the season.
Ferguson's last ODI appearance for Australia came against Bangladesh in 2011.

Very smart move.
And to think MMA fans continually whine and complain about delusional and disrespectful boxers.
People like you have low intelligence, Jones probably knows he wouldn't win. But the payout he would get in boxing compared to MMA its WELL worth getting knocked the **** out. He gets paid pennies in UFC so its understandable that he wants the fight and his in a good position to ask for it since there's "some" buzz about MMA vs Boxing.

o.b. tampons are more compact than other tampons with comparable absorbency, making them easier to insert. New o.b. ProComfort tampons are even easier to insert and remove because they are the only tampons with a SilkTouch cover for ultimate comfort.
Average Price: $5.99
While I don't personally like the OB tampons, I can definitely see how they would work for someone else! I just find it a struggle to try and insert the tampon without an applicator. Once it's in, the protection is good, but I find I can never insert it properly so that it can do it's job.
Je porte rarement des tampons et lorsque j'ai reçue un coupon pour une boite gratuite de OB, je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas les essayer.
OB, ne prend pas de place, ca c'est certain..
I've been using these tampons for as long as I can remember. They are small, compact, and very easy to insert. I like that there is no applicator, which in my opinion, is just added waste. I highly recommend!
I am on the fence with these tampons. I have used them multiple times over the years and they do work well, and its nice to know you are saving a bit of waste by them having no applicator, but that also can make them tricky to insert and a bit gross as well. If you have long nails, don't use these!
They're effective but not my top choice. The lack of applicator makes them kind of hard to use. A+ for eliminating the environmental waste of an applicator, but F+ for ease of insertion. Not my first choice. Only tried them because I received a free box
These work well. The lack of an applicator make them discreet enough to store in your pocket and also makes for less environmental waste than other brands. But it can be awkward to insert them in public and less hygienic in my opinion. They are not my first choice but I do buy them from time to time during a good sale.
I have a very heavy flow so tamposn tend to not work for me so I can't review off of flow. However these absorbed more then the other brands I did try.
I love how there's no applicator and how easy they are to store away in your pockets.
Before putting one in I would reccomend putting a finger down there to feel the angel if you don't already know, otherwise you might go through a few trying to get it in properly.
Le fait que les tampons o.b. soient sans applicateur donc meilleur pour l'environnement est un plus. Je les utilisent surtout sur la route ou pour dépanner. Ils sont tres compacts et contrairement aux tampons avec applicateur l'emballage ne s'ouvre pas s'il est laissé dans le fond d'un sac.
It's good
These are really good, they soak up a great deal and they are not as pricey as the other competitors. I used these all through my teenage years and I use from time to time now and again. I like that you actually feel where they are going so it goes far enough and in the right direction, This way you are less prone to leakage. if it is inserted properly. with the regular applicator type tampons you don't really get to feel if it is in the right place. I have had way less accidents with O.B as well and would trust them without a pantyliner.

The excitement of the HRV fall sports season typically centers around the football team.
But football isn't the only game in town anymore. The HRV boys and girls soccer programs have begun to make their mark on the state stage over the past couple years as well.
Both soccer teams will open their seasons Friday against Intermountain Conference bottom-feeder Crook County, with the boys playing at home and the girls traveling to Prineville.
And, while both teams appear much different on paper, the coaching staffs are excited about who they have coming back.
"We're going to be strong up front and on defense this year," said boys coach Doug Beveridge, who is returning for his third season with the Eagles.
"Sean (Rawson) and Alvaro (Lara) give us great stability in the middle of the defense, while Alex (Ponce) and Jorge (Hernandez) give us firepower up front."
Beveridge's team, which has reached the state quarterfinals in each of the past two seasons, is coping with the graduations of some of its best players, including Matt Dallman, Dereck Ponce, Andy Holmson and Corey VanDlac.
In their absence, the Eagles will turn to younger players such as sophomore Jesus Lara and junior Tony Diaz to keep them in the playoff hunt.
"The Redmond game next week will give us a good idea of how far we have to go," Beveridge said. "They gave us trouble last year, and I expect them to be good again. But, just like us, they probably lost a couple guys, too."
For the girls, fifth-year head coach Sue Farro welcomes back only four varsity players from one year ago. But she also has a quality group of sophomores and juniors moving up the ranks that should keep the Eagles in the playoff chase.
Returning starters Acer Lopez, Lisa Tedford and Anna Hidle will be looking for help from sophomore Jessica McMorran, juniors Katie Flory, Kristen Hedges and Rose Brunk, and sophomore Diana Hernandez.
Season previews for both HRV soccer teams will appear in the Sept. 6 edition. After opening the season on Friday, the teams will play in a jamboree Saturday at Aloha High School in Portland.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

See, my son, if these have any smell.
So said the emperor Vespasian, defending the Amway sponsorship of the San Jose Earthquakes a little over nineteen centuries before the fact.
He makes a good point, for a dead Italian. Its 14.2857% partnership in Seven Deadly Sins Inc. notwithstanding, the love of money has a storied past and a promising future. Who are we, after all, to argue with both Gordon Gekko and Eric Idle's "Money Makes the World Go Round"? The United Federation of Planets has an economy that transcends money, but notice there's no Major League Soccer in "Star Trek."
On a personal level, since I have spent so many blog posts justifying MLS decisions on cold, dead-eyed financial grounds, it's not necessarily easy for me to oppose this one. We don't have a single table because of money. We don't have promotion and relegation because of money. We don't have reserve leagues because of money. We don't have the Fusion or Mutiny anymore because of money. We have to read about David Freaking Beckham every god-damned day because of money.
And now Amway is sponsoring the Earthquakes, and I've got the Edward G. Robinson look from "Ten Commandments" when Heston comes down the mountain with his mad on. "What, this golden calf? No, can't imagine where it came from. That's a very nice robe, by the way, Moses." Gee, who'd have thought years and years of snotty, strident columns and blog posts would ever backfire?
Nevertheless. There is money that smells.
Amway, for want of a more polite and less accurate description, is a nationwide joke. It is a byword for shoddy products pushed by weasels upon suckers. It is capitalism's answer to the Jehovah's Witnesses, minus the dignity and respect. This isn't the place to trash Amway, although one certainly could. However, it's an interesting mental exercise to come up with a more disreputable company.
The question is, is the money that Amway is putting into the Earthquakes enough to balance out the damage being done to the Earthquakes brand?
It's too late to do anything about sponsorship in MLS, but let's remember what Earthquakes shirts now look like to the wider sporting public. AMWAY in huge letters, and a little picture of a soccer ball and a sun over the portside nipple with "Earthquakes" in smaller letters than "Adidas." Hey, remember how proud you all were that "SAN JOSE" was shown in bold letters on the home jersey, as a sign of the commitment of the new franchise to the community?
Most of the rest of the league's team sponsors are perfectly acceptable products that can be sold legally over a counter or in a store - so while the good name of DC United is overshadowed and diluted by Volkswagen, the association doesn't actually tar either party with any pre-existing negative baggage. While it's crass commercialism, that's where it begins and ends, and if anything Volkswagen probably has more to lose among Red Bull fans than DC had to lose among its fan base who detest German cars. (And I wonder if Red Bull energy drink sales have fallen at all in the DC area.)
Salt Lake and the Galaxy are saddled with multi-level marketers, but while reprehensible, they are thankfully far more obscure than Amway. It's still possible to live your entire life without bumping into Xango in any meaningful way, and since you can't buy the drink (it is a drink, right?) without knowing someone who has bought into it and is trying to push it onto you, it's fairly easy to pretend Xango is a video game or a car company.
Of course, it will be you, the fan, who bears the brunt. People will see you coming in your Earthquake jerseys, San Jose fans, and run quickly in the other direction. And, for a change, it won't be because you're going to rant to them about how evil AEG is. (If Anschutz Entertainment were your sponsor, THEN how would you feel?) You will look like you're selling Amway. You won't look like a soccer fan. Just like Galaxy fans don't look like soccer fans, although "Beckham 23" sort of gives that away a lot of the time.
Honestly, what would be a worse thing to wear out in public? Enzyte and Smilin' Bob, maybe. Or Vivid Video. Even if those absurdities were to happen - and I have every confidence that MLS is working on those as we speak - those simply lead to value judgments about the people in the shirts. Who would you rather sit next to on a plane flight - someone insecure about the size of their little pants puppet, or someone who has a great business opportunity for you? At least the Vivid Video fan enjoys the products in private.
Amway is different. As a long-standing punch line, Amway is getting rehabilitated by its association with a company that has never done harm to anyone. The Galaxy conferred undeserved legitimacy on Herbalife (or would have, if they had bothered to win more than five games or so in the past two years), but the Amway brand in the public eye is beyond saving. The Earthquakes have simply been dragged down into the mire.
Temporarily, one hopes. All Lew Wolff and MLS have to do is calculate whether that damage is worth $2 million a year.
Hey, it may well be worth it. Nobody holds Enron Field against the Houston Astros anymore. This may simply be short-term embarrassment to cover what look to be fairly lean times in Buck Shaw. Sometimes you have to do porn in order to pay tuition, I suppose.
But it's worth looking at big-time American team sports, and pondering why the New York Yankees have never had a sponsor. The Dallas Cowboys have never had a sponsor. The New York Giants, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Toronto Maple Leafs, down to the Houston Texans and the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's not because these are teams and leagues run by dew-eyed innocents living in a gumdrop fairyland. But for decades, these successful teams have left money on the table that MLS is now desperately grabbing. I wonder why that is.
Maybe it's the smell.

My current Z10 is a factory unlocked, non-carrier branded STL100-3 (Brightstar model given out at BlackBerry LIve in Orlando).
It has 10.1.0.273 installed and I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada.
I've only been using this Z10 for the past two weeks and I've been noticing the following situations:
1) Before going to bed, I plug the Z10 in and with it on and with one app running in active frames, in the morning, the phone will still be on with no active frame running (so it is rebooting) PLUS the battery life will be low (say 50%). I ran Battery Guru the last time this happened and while the app registered that it was plugged in, it was not drawing any power. So, at some point in the night, the phone is rebooting, but after rebooting, the phone wont charge.
2) Before going to be, I plug the Z10 in and turn it off (holding power button until after the BlackBerry logo pops up and the screen goes off). In the morning, my Z10 is on (however, it is drawing a charge). This actually happened twice last night as I plugged it in and turned the phone off before going to bed but heard my notification go off about an hour later. I went downstairs and noticed the blinking light on and of course the phone was on. Thinking I made a mistake, I turned it off again and plugged it in and saw an slow blinking orange LED light for charging but again, this morning, the phone was on.
Has anyone else noticed something like this? Would this be a variation of the reboot problem?
I'm hoping this is a software issue as I can't return this Z10 since I didn't get it from my carrier. I guess my only options at this point are to reload 10.1.0.273 or install one of the leaked versions??
Thank you in advance for any help/info provided.

Starbucks' social-media bosses have developed a training and workflow system to guide their employees when they're interacting with fans, writes Andy Sernovitz. Chief among their innovations: the realization that if something doesn't get talked about, it's probably not worth worrying about. "Starbucks uses the Twitter test to determine if something is a real issue for the social media team or not," Sernovitz writes. "If it doesn't matter on Twitter, it doesn't matter."
