Apple vs Microsoft: Tablet Market Clash between iPad and Windows 8
Besides Google Android, the tablet king Apple iPad is about to get a taut rival in Windows 8. A row of Windows 8-based tablets are to enter to the scene later this 2012. Microsoft has already previewed its ARM compatible Windows 8 and a dedicated app store called the Windows Store for it. Maybe, Google's Android might not have overcome Apple iPad in number of products sold.
Does Google Deserve More Credit?
Geoff Livingston
Sometimes I think Google deserves more credit. This is not a defense of Google+, anti-trust issues facing the company, or the apparent sunsetting of Feedburner. When I learned Google had scrapped its facial recognition technology because the negative uses outweighed the good, I felt they were the better player of the big companies operating in this space.

Is Google+ the Next Big Social Media Site for Business?
The Social Media Incubator
Google+ is getting a lot of attention right now due to the "rivalry between Google and Facebook, which is heavily partnered with Microsoft. Social Media Strategist Caroline Melberg feels that the site will be beneficial at some point in the future, but it might take some time. "I think it is a bit too early for most businesses to jump into Google+ as the jury is still out on how participation will ramp up, but if it happens like I think it will, Google+ will become the first real social-business networking site," said Melberg.

When Tim Cook (CEO at Apple ) took the stage in the company's first post- Steve Jobs product launch to announce the iPad 2 in 2011, Cook's staggering statistic was that the iPad had already outsold all of the desktop and laptops sold by their competitors in the previous quarter.

Apple Gets More Serious About Using Twitter, but Why it Doesn't Matter

First, I'm going to say kudos to Apple for trying involve themselves in the world of social media. I'm going to stop there, though. Unfortunately, they still don't quite "get it.

There was a lot of online chatter when Google acquired Motorola for $12.5 With Apple and Microsoft developing mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), it made perfect sense for Google to follow suit (and they struggled with their own iterations of Android devices). This way, should Apple (or another brand) ever take a legal swing at them, Google could do the old Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope with those patents.

In the past few weeks, we've seen both Microsoft and Google come forward with their own tablets in an attempt to dethrone the iPad. In March 2012, when Apple CEO, Tim Cook , took the stage to announce the iPad 2 the biggest shock was that in the previous year, iPad 2 had outsold every single PC manufactured - beating HP , Dell , Lenovo and Acer. So, how did Google and Microsoft fare with their announcements? Apple was head-down in product innovation while RIM seemed busy trying to figure out what (and how) their competitors were doing what they do.
This Isn't the Microsoft it Used to Be – My Full Circle Journey and Why I'm Back Again

You may remember my scathing blog post denouncing my Xbox 360 and swearing I was leaving Microsoft. I still feel that way about my old Xbox 360. It was a piece of junk. I sold it, sold all the games, and sent my Windows 7 machine with Windows Media Center on it to the scrap pile. The fact is Microsoft used to create junky hardware and software, and being big and experiencing growing pains they got lazy and stopped competing in a lot of the consumer market. My old Xbox 360 died 4 times and they still weren't willing to give me something better. Enter the new Microsoft.

What People Are Saying About Kota Kinabalu
Great way to experience the jungle if short on time
It's obvious that in 2 days, you're not going to see very deep in the rainforest and it's also worth noting that you will not see many animals in this area (except lots of leeches)! However, the scenery in the area is amazing - with spectacular views of Mt Kinabalu and the transition from rice paddies and farms into primary rainforest. The guides were extremely knowledgable and welcoming; showing all sorts of edible fruits in the jungle and how to set up camp in the jungle (for which all equipment was provided). Highly recommended if you don't have time to stray too far from Kota Kinabalu and especially worthwhile if you aren't able to climb the mountain due to accommodation issues.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
President Obama's "myRA" plan to boost savings is a decent idea, but not needed. You can get nearly all of the benefits through other vehicles.
Doubtless, offering an easy-to-use government account is a virtuous step forward. Small businesses generally don't offer retirement plans. According to the Government Accountability Office, "only 14 percent of businesses employing 100 workers or fewer sponsored some type of savings retirement plan; among employers with one to four workers, only 5 percent offer retirement savings plans." But most small employers, who want to do the right thing, simply don't have the resources.
Enter the myRA, which President Obama announced (stumbled over the awkward acronym) in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night. Here's what he proposes to do with this new account:
- Starter Savings Account: It will be targeted to the many Americans who currently lack access to workplace retirement savings plans, which is usually the most effective way to save for retirement.
- Safe and Secure: The product will be offered via a familiar Roth IRA account, and savers will benefit from government-backed principal protection, so the account balance will never go down in value. Contributions can be withdrawn tax free at any time.
- User-Friendly for Savers: Initial investments could be as low as $25 and contributions that are as low as $5 could be made through easy-to-use payroll deductions.
- Favorable Investment Return: Savers will earn interest at the same variable interest rate as the federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Government Securities Investment Fund.
- Widely Available: This saving opportunity would be available to the millions of low- and middle-income households earning up to $191,000 a year. Participants could save up to $15,000, or for a maximum of 30 years, in their accounts before transferring their balance to a private sector Roth IRA.
None of this is a bad idea, it's just redundant and structurally flawed. Let' start with how the myRA is supposed to function. Here are some problems and some overlap with what you can already do now.
1) If it's a pool of savings or Treasury bonds, then what kinds of bonds will be in the plan? Keep in mind that all U.S. Treasury and savings bonds guarantee principal, so there's nothing new here.
Will the myRA be stocked with inflation-adjusted bonds such as iBonds or Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)? You can buy these securities commission free through the Treasury.
Keep in mind that pooling TIPS, which is done through several mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, creates a volatile and flawed vehicle. One of the largest private TIPS funds on the market -- the iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP), lost 8 percent last year, compared to 2 percent for a broad-basket index of U.S. bonds.
2) Will the rate on the bonds be enough to offset inflation? Probably not when you add up medical or college inflation to the always understated government Consumer Price Index. The Treasury Department says that the account will resemble the "G" account in the TSP, but that raises some other issues.
The TSP "G" account has some built-in contradictions and it's unlikely to beat inflation. Here's what the TSP says about the account at first glance: "The G Fund's investment objective is to produce a rate of return that is higher than inflation while avoiding exposure to credit (default) risk and market price fluctuations."
Not more than five lines later on the same page, there's this statement: "The G Fund is subject to inflation risk, or the possibility that your G Fund investment will not grow enough to offset the reduction in purchasing power that results from inflation."
Which one is it? If it's a pool of securities not indexed to a broad-based inflation guage, then you won't keep up with the cost of living.
The Treasury Department hasn't provided details on how the myRA bond pool will work, but if you use the current iBond rate as a benchmark -- assuming that they even use inflation-adjusted savings bonds or equivalents -- the yield is not promising. "The composite rate for I bonds issued November 1, 2013 – April 30, 2014 is 1.38%," according to the Treasury. In an economy growing at a 3-percent clip -- the GDP as of the 4th quarter of 2013 -- you're behind the eight ball.
3) The Roth IRA Connection. You can currently set up a Roth IRA account with any financial institution. What makes the myRA different? It will be loaded with these mysterious Treasury bonds that will somehow provide a guaranteed return and may not beat inflation. That doesn't close the deal with me. How will the bonds be managed to provide a decent, inflation-adjusted gain in a low-rate environment? Stocks can beat inflation, but they are out of the question in this proposal.

How can a credit union help you?
Instead of confusing jargon, think comfy sofa and a cup of tea. A credit union is a friendly, straightforward financial provider with our members at the heart of what we do. That means what matters is you, not how much profit we make.
A credit union is there for you with flexible, approachable financial services and advice, whether it's for personal loans or savings, or business loans and services. We operate solely for you, not our stakeholders, which means our members - that's you and your community - are in control.
A credit union believes in local community - the savings you put in act as the loan for someone else, so your money never leaves the community. Every penny is used to benefit you. That doesn't mean less security though - you're protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), so you know your money is safe.

Headstart Summer School
Headstart Summer School
Each June, Year 12 students from across the country join us for four days of practical activities from the three main subject areas of chemistry.
Last year, we hosted a group of 30 Year 12 students. They gained some practical chemistry experience, with activities including:
- making a transition metal complex (inorganic)
- making an ester (organic)
- analysing the percentage of copper in some alloys using colorimetry (physical)
They visited the MSD manufacturing plant in Cramlington to see how chemistry is applied in the pharmaceutical industry.
Students discovered what it's like to study chemistry at Newcastle University. They attended a talk by our undergraduate admissions tutor, took a tour of the School, and had an informal question and answer session with current undergraduate students.
They also attended a demonstration lecture entitled Chemistry of the Senses, given by our Outreach Officer and Headstart Chemistry School host, Dr Peter Hoare.
Headstart Summer School is an annual event that takes place in June each year. To book a place, contact us.

Does anyone hunt bird with their rifles? I was thinking of using my .50 for fun this season. I bought the cards I need to cushion and hold the shot already. I just havn't gone out and tried it yet. I was thinking of taking the 12 guage out with it, and try to match the grouping on a poster board. I was concerned about rifling at first, but I saw how some shotguns are being fitted now with rifling tubes for a better spread.

An Internet pharmacy is simply an online store; an internet site that sells medicines on the web. Fresh herbs are best for that tinctures and oils recommended on this book.

We have a moderately high traffic web application (between 8 to 21 million hits/day) running Apache to serve static content (also to load balance and create a DMZ) and Weblogic to serve dynamic content (Struts 1.1 based Java web application).
We are trying to replace Weblogic with Tomcat and we have ported our code to work with Tomcat. All works well in Tomcat in the DEV, QA, and STAGING environment as long as there is no real load.
The Issue - Load Testing:
In our staging environment for load testing, when we run the load test using 525 concurrent users, the app doesn't perform at all. The CPU usage (on Apache and Tomcat Servers) hovers between 7% to 8%. The database server CPU usage is also between 4 and 5%.
Setup for Load Testing:
We have setup 2 apache web servers (4 Quad Processors i.e. 16 CPUs each), 2 Tomcat (version 6.0.29) servers (4 Quad Processors i.e. 16 CPUs each). Each server has 32 Gb ram. We are using AJP 1.3 to connect Tomcat and Apache.
Mentioned below is the version information:
Apache Version 2.2.14 (with mod_jk module)
Tomcat: 6.0.29
Database: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bits
Connection Pool: DBCP.
Mentioned below are connector settings in conf/server.xml:
Mentioned below are the settings for JNDI resource configured in conf/context.xml:
JVM Parameters:
-Xms512m -Xmx2048m
-XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/logs/WL2TC/app/
-verbose:gc -Xloggc:/logs/WL2TC/app/WL2TC_1-gc.log
It must be noted that Weblogic setup performs very well using similar settings.
Garbage Collection: While the load test is running, Garbage collection works just fine i.e. Young GC occurring every 2-3 minutes and takes less than half a second. Full GC occurs every hour and takes a little over 2 seconds.
Any tips/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Our long term goal is to develop and apply computational methods to provide novel mechanistic insights into catalysis and regulation of histone modifying enzymes, and to facilitate the rational design of enzyme sub-type specific modulators for probing epigenetic pathways and therapeutic use. Reversible histone acetylation has emerged as a vital regulator in a multitude of essential epigenetic processes. The enzymes responsible for this essential post-translational modification are histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) that add and remove acetyl groups to and from target lysine residues, respectively. The aberrant activity of these enzymes has been implicated in numerous human diseases, notably cancer, and quite a few HATs and HDACs have been established as important drug targets. Our theoretical approaches will center on Born-Oppenheimer ab initio QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations, a state-of-the-art computational approach to simulate enzyme reactions which allow for accurate modeling of the chemistry at the enzyme active site while properly including dynamics and effects of protein environment.
The specific aims are: 1. Characterize the catalytic mechanism for HATs and rational redesign of tGcn5 for its improved efficiency.
Aim 2 : Elucidate inner workings of sirtuins, a novel family o class III histone deacetylases.
Aim 3 : Advance ab initio QM/MM methods. The successful completion of the proposed research will provide a detailed mechanistic understanding for HATs and sirtuins for the first time. This will stimulate further mechanistic studies of these important enzymes, and facilitate the development of novel mechanism-based modulators for probing acetylation dependent epigenetic pathways and for therapeutic use. Meanwhile, our methodology development efforts will significantly advance this computational tour de force to simulate enzyme reactions, and help establish it as an equal partner to experimental approaches in this important field of enzymology.
Histone modifying enzymes have emerged as vital regulators in cellular processes. The aberrant activity of these enzymes has been implicated in numerous human diseases, notably cancer, and quite some HATs and HDACs have been established as important drug targets. To elucidate their inner workings will facilitate the development of new drugs to cure these diseases. Meanwhile, we will develop more powerful methods for the computational biomedical research.

Another day, another watch. But this time it's not for flooding, rather severe weather. We now have our sixth Severe Thunderstorm Watch of the season:
Since these storms are developing pre-frontal, don't expect this broken line just to our west be the end of it today. The watch goes until 10pm because more will develop in our unstable atmosphere.
Todays threat will be high winds and hail, with little shear present for tornadoes.
I'll update if anything becomes severe.

Central Ohio can't catch a break when it comes to rain. For the Wilmington, OH forecast area this is the 32nd consecutive day with measurable rain. Of course for us here southeast of Columbus it's not been quite that many days, but we are at 10 out of 22 days with rain. And the third straight day we've got rain out of this soaker of a system.
Central Ohio is under a Flash Flood Watch through this evening, our fifth of the year. On top of that, western Franklin County, including Columbus, is under a Flash Flood Warning because of a heavy cell that has continued to back build over the area for the past two hours.
Via AHPS, past 30 days precip above normal
The image above says it all, with absolutely saturated soils. Then combine a moisture rich system coming up from our southwest and it's a recipe for flooding.
Today's rain will bring heavy rainfall rates and flooding, there is no doubt about it. A storm currently sitting over eastern Franklin County has dumped 1.10" of rain in 20 minutes on my weather station, and possibly extending the Flood Warning further east.
I will update shortly with more information on more storms to come today...
UPDATE: 1056am
Up to 1.67" from this storm over eastern Franklin.
UPDATE: 1103am
Up to 1.80" from this storm over eastern Franklin.
UPDATE: 1111am
Up to 1.89" from this storm over eastern Franklin. A small tail has developed on the storm and may dump another tenth in the next 20 minutes. This has been one of the heaviest rains I have had in the year+ I have lived in this location.
Today's Remaining Outlook
The first round of rain has finally moved out of the area, with most of Franklin County blanketed with 2" radar estimates. In Canal Winchester I have ended up with 2.10". This amount is impressive on its own, but we're not done.
A second round of rain will skirt the southern part of Columbus, possibly bringing just a little more rain to our total. Also I'm keeping an eye out for a third round with more development off to the west in Indiana. With PWATS over 2" today, any rain that develops will bring heavy rain with it. I expect Columbus may end up with over 3" before this event is all said and done.
Already my monthly total is at 6.85"... well above normal. This July could be a record setter with 9 days left to go.

For the first time this summer the Columbus area is under a Heat Advisory. Temps in the low 90's and dewpoints in the low 70's are forecasted to push the heat index as high as 102°. But I think it'll go higher.
On Monday I recorded a heat index of 101°. Yesterday? 103°. Todays dewpoints are forecasted to be even higher than yesterdays, so I predict a high heat index of 105°. That's oppressive.
This always happens once a year, usually around July or August, a major warm up brings out the heat advisories and calls to check on your elderly neighbors and stay out of the sun during the peak heating.
Already today at 10:40am I recorded a temp of 87° with a heat index of 98°. That's what you get with a dewpoint of 76° I suppose.
You can track today's heat index from this image, updated every minute:
Relief in Sight
While this heat wave isn't a truly major heat wave by definition, it's still hot enough to make us all want a cool down. Well, it's coming in the form of severe storms this weekend.
The SPC has been tracking this next round of storms accurately every since Sunday, an unheard of 6 day outlook.
As of now here is the current Saturday outlook for location.
I'll post more once model guidance becomes a little more clear on our risk.

Finally, reprieve from a cold front arrives overnight.
But before we can get to a cool down and an eventual stop to our deluge, we have one more day of severe weather and heavy rain ahead of us. And this could be a pretty big one.
Our focus today will be from a MCS over Illinois that should bring the forcing we need later on. The system itself is slowly progressing eastward, but with storms on more of a southeasterly march I don't think the actual MCS itself will be our severe weather of the day. Instead I expect an outflow boundary to develop out ahead of this as storms begin to rain out and push cooler air in to our extremely unstable airmass:
Speaking of our airmass, it's 11:30am and the heat index is 95°. That's because of an oppressive dewpoint of 76.7°!. This is some of the most moist conditions I believe I have seen in a long time around here. This is tropical in nature.
When you combine all of these things, we could really be looking at some big wind and hail producing storms this afternoon, along of course with flooding rains. Our Flash Flood Watch is still in effect for the rest of the day, and with absolutely saturated grounds throughout the state, one tiny storm could over run creeks and streams. When you factor in that the storms today will absolutely be heavy rain makers, there is no doubt that today will be a volatile day.
I plan on updating later with Watches and forecast updates.
UPDATE: 12:50pm
There's our watch, our sixth of the season:
The SPC points at high wind events being our main threat, but also highlights our extremely high PWATs and high flood risk.
UPDATE: 1:46pm
Looks like I was wrong about a second line coming from an outflow boundary. It appears the entire MCS has congealed in to a large squall line.
Smaller cells are slowly developing in the soupy airmass out ahead of the main system, and those very well could become severe in a short amount of time. But the main event will get here sometime near or after evening rush hour, between 6pm and 8pm.

The NWS in Wilmington put out an interesting public information statement today saying that our soggy streak has lasted 19 days now. While my weather station wasn't on the list of top rainfall totals, I can verify over the last 19 days I have totaled 3.82" of rain, with yesterday's 1.25" being the high water mark... literally I guess.
Because of all of the rain lately, any chance of decently accumulating rainfall lately has brought on a Flash Flood Watch. Yesterday was no different, bringing us our 4th watch of the season. And so far the watch stands, as they have extended it twice already, the latest lasting us until tomorrow night.
On top of the flood threat, a severe weather threat is present with instability really ramping up this afternoon. Aside from CAPE and other factors, you can FEEL the instability out there. Currently I have a dewpoint of 76.1°! That is absolutely insane. Even with a temp of 87° that still puts the heat index and an absolutely oppressive 98.6°.
A setup like that prompted the SPC to move the Slight Risk in to our area for this afternoon, and then again for tomorrow:
The SPC already has a MD out for our area hinting at the potential for a Watch here in the next couple hours.
High instability but low shear points at possible heavy rain and hail storms. No good chance of rotation, or much of a bow potential for high wind, so this afternoon will be just about like every other afternoon for the past 19 days.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning Chance: 70%
Tornado Warning Chance: 1%

The NWS has us under a Flash Flood Watch through tomorrow night as a large plume of Gulf moisture has our entire area under the risk for heavy rain the entire time.
Flood Watches stretch all the way from the Florida Panhandle to Lake Erie:
So far since the watch came out we've only had 0.16" of rain, but very heavy rain with embedded storms line up all the way to the Kentucky/Tennessee line:
This has been one of the coolest July 4th's on record with a high here in Canal Winchester of 76°, and more rain coming to keep the temp low.
It's possible we could see an additional 2" before the end of the weekend. I'll update with local rain totals later.

Labradorite Silver Twig earrings, branch vine, Camp Sundance, Gem Bliss, gift for her. Blue flash Labradorite, marquis briolettes (9mm) have been carefully hand wire wrapped onto gracefully hand formed Sterling Silver 2 inch Twigs, nature inspired botanical hand wire wrapped. Some customers refer to this style as icicle, branch, vine and twig. Labradorite, a form of Spectrolite, is believed to be excellent for strengthening intuitions. This flashy gemstone with its prized electric play of colors known as labradorescence is the result of light diffraction or interference within the stone. The resulting flash is the light bouncing and reflecting colors. Although I have not been able to show the electric colors on these earrings, I have managed to catch several glimpses. These gemstones show best when seen dancing from happy lobes. On Sterling Silver lever back earrings. Available in your perfect length.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio launches annual mall patrols
PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said his annual holiday patrols will take to Valley malls Wednesday.
Arpaio said undercover and uniformed officers will be patrolling the mall lots on foot and horseback for the 19th year. Even the MCSO chopper will be on the job.
"These malls are something you have to worry about," he said. "Look at the shootings around the nation. [MCSO patrol] … doesn't cost taxpayers any money."
Eight shopping centers, including Paradise Valley Mall, will be patrolled.
However, there's one mall that won't be on MCSO's list. Metrocenter didn't want his patrol last year and he won't offer up help this year.
"Politics were involved last year, having to do with the illegal immigration enforcement we do," said Arpaio. "[But] If we think we're needed there, we will be there whether they want us or not."
Metrocenter has its own security and off-duty Phoenix police officers will help keep shoppers safe.
In a statement, Metrocenter said its security has reduced on-property car thefts by 95 percent. It's partnership with Phoenix police has been on-going since 2007.

.....that after over thirty years of factory work, the majority of which were mostly enjoyable (well if you consider enjoyable as using the most choice of Anglo Saxon language whilst lying in a stinking pool of only Thor knows what, whilst trying to lift a bloody heavy motor back into place at three 'o' clock in the morning with a smug tw*t of a foreman asking 'how long do you think it'll be John' that is), to be already settling into the routine of working for myself. I would have thought that it would have taken far longer to adjust to certain aspects and yet I seem to be coping reasonable well with some of these aspects that concerned me whilst wrestling with the decision to abandon what has been the familiar for over three decades.
Certainly I am surprised with how I am interacting with clients. I find myself able to communicate with people far more easily than expected. Ask anyone who has worked with me long enough in the factory environment and they will probably tell you that verbal communication without many and various expletives was an alien language to myself. There is certainly a difference when you are, and I won't say 'just' here, an employee than when you are actually providing a service for people. It is almost as if my attitude has gone from a proud man who would not bend his knee just because he was told to by 'his betters' in the factory to someone who, although still has pride within himself, will doff his cap or tug a forelock to prospective clients and the people who hire my services. Perhaps this is one reason I am happier now, previously I would not suffer fools and would express my opinion when angered by perceived laziness, incompetence, stupidity and quite frankly the bullshit of others that I worked with. This would of course lead to myself becoming angry, frustrated and demotivated which of course does not help with my personal battle with depression over the years. But now I have to have a different mindset, I can offer advice but not to the extent where if unheeded I become frustrated, I listen far more as I have to understand individual clients needs, my words have to be far more measured, be clearly understood without being condescending nor boastful. It is not that I have suddenly become a simpering 'yes man' overnight, it is that perhaps as I am trying to earn respect amongst a prospective client base I realise that a sulking, frustrated Neanderthal is not what people want tending their beloved gardens but rather someone whom listens to their ideas, gently suggests some others and shows as much care and attention to their garden as I do my own. Oh and just in case you may foolishly think that this old pirate has lost his bite you may want to talk to the remarkably stupid young gentleman who cut me up on the Wrexham by-pass t'other day whilst presumably trying to impress his young female companion, it is suffice to say that he may well be reluctant to show such bravado for quite some time, well at least until he changes his underwear But yes, the metaphorically doffing of the cap is quite a revelation to me and to be honest it is far easier on the mind than the million and one frustrations I encountered within the factory environment.
Obviously another aspect that concerned myself greatly was how would I find work? After all in the factory it was pretty much cut n dried in that you clocked in, worked to the best of your ability, became frustrated and clocked off. If the company closed down or reduced its staff you move on to the next and the hamster wheel keeps on revolving. I have been fortunate that I have not had this happen to many times and that I have had less than two weeks of unemployment in my working life. But this working for one's self is a whole new ball game for I am now solely responsible for sourcing work, negotiating a cost, completing said work and then hopefully finding more work whilst all the time trying to build a good reputation and also ensuring people enjoy their gardens. Without being boastful I have had only positive feedback so far and finding work is not the nightmare, especially considering the season, that I had envisaged. Yes it is and will continue to be a source of worry but as long as I can earn enough to feed and keep a roof over our heads then this will suffice. Ultimately I am a simple soul with simple tastes and I am fortunate to have in George a soulmate who supports me through these changes.
As for other worries over this change they are many and varied but when weighed against the negative effect that my employment, especially over the previous two years, has had on my state of mind they are worth the risk of facing the unknown rather than continue upon the mind crippling hamster wheel of the 'fun factory'.
And one last thing before I wind up another rambling post, some may think that having to ply my trade in all seasons through all weather would be exhausting and hard to continue with. But I love it, whether I be soaked by driving rain, buffeted by gale force winds or baked by the Summer's sun. I have never felt as close to who I should be nor so much connection with Mother earth than what I do now....this is what I was born to do. I am a simple soul and even the building of a simple log and leaf pile fills me with a sense of achievement, connection and belonging that I think few today feel.
Til the next time, take care,

Scratch Master: Dent Repair and Scratch Repair
A+ Rating and Accreditation with Denver Better Business Bureau
Wall Street Journal Article Here (PDF – 302kb)
Hi, my name is Brian Lewis. I am the owner/operator for Scratch Master. I fix your auto hail damage, minor scratches, chips, dents, dings, & bumper scrapes. We also offer in-store hail damage repair! My customers regularly tell me that my service is "better than a body shop".* Here's why:
Mobile service at your home or work place. Avoid wasting the time, gas, & hassle of driving around to body shops and waiting in their lobby.
Average repair time is 1 to 4 hours, not days like most repair shops.
I strive to insure the products and services provided surpass the quality of most repair shops. I do this by specializing in keeping the repair area extremely small and the remainder of the panel "factory finish". I have state of the art tools, specialized training, 16 years experience, and can make your vehicle's damage appear as if it had never existed!
There are three reasons why I can usually save you money compared to traditional body shop methods:
- I'm honest and I'm in your corner.
- I trim the fat by using smarter, "keep it small" repair methods.
- Lower overhead / more efficient business model designed specifically for small to medium damage.
It's not what I do, it's how I do it! Learn more by exploring this website or call me direct on my cell phone and I'll explain: (720) 242-9595 or 1-888-SCRATCH (727-2824)
**It would be disingenuous for me to say carte blanche that my service is better than a body shop. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Conventional body shops are crucial to the auto repair industry and our communities. We honor their expertise, especially for collisions and larger size damage. We serve alongside them, assist them, and daily recommend them when the shoe fits. We believe that Scratch Master's specialization in paintless dent repair, smaller paint scratch color blends, a philosophy of preserving your original finish whenever possible, combined with our onsite service, positions us to serve you as "tool of first resort" for smaller to medium damage. We also serve well as a second opinion.
