A long regular season comes to an end.
After 4 arduous months of mediocre football at best, the NFL's regular season finally comes to an end this Sunday. It'll go out on a whimper as well, as the NFL elected not to flex one of Sunday's games into the Sunday Night Football time slot. The NFL claims this is due to the fact that it's New Year's Eve, but its mostly due to the fact none of the match-ups this Sunday will draw a crowd. So much for the NFL still being the king of all American sports, as injuries have derailed some of the league's rising stars, you can have stretches of playing god-awful football during the regular season and still be in the playoff picture, and we still don't know what in God's name a catch is. We can only hope these week 17 match-ups can provide marginal entertainment ahead of what will hopefully be an unpredictable postseason.
Last Week: 11-5
Overall: 154-86
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Some NFL teams believe the Packer should have to release QB Aaron Rodgers because he was placed on injured reserved and it wasn't because of a new injury he suffered, a violation of NFL rules. If this were to happen, it would force Packers GM Ted Thompson to finally build a team instead of relying on one of the greatest QB talents to ever be under center. What a concept.
Winner: Lions
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
Colts QB Andrew said he doesn't feel like he's part of the team this week, but expects to start throwing next week. Oh the agony…
Winner: Colts
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings know what's at stake this week, a first round playoff bye. They need to take care of business against the lowly Bears, who should "FireFox" as soon as the final horn blows Sunday.
Winner: Vikings
New York Jets at New England Patriots
The Patriots continued their diabolical ways by signing Steelers legend James Harrison this week in an attempt to play mind games with Pittsburgh ahead of their presumed AFC Championship Game match-up. Oh Belichick, you silver tongued devil you.
Winner: Patriots
Washington Redskins at New York Giants
A match-up many believed would determine playoff seeding at the start of the season is now a battle of ineptitude. The biggest question that looms in this one is where both team's starting QBs will play next season.
Winner: Redskins
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have nothing to play for this week, as they clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs due to their ugly win over the Raiders on Christmas. As usual, the Cowboys found a way to choke away a playoff birth under the guidance of Jason Garrett. He used to have Tony Romo to blame for these blunders, but it's become abundantly clear Garrett is not the one to guide the Cowboys to the Super Bowl.
Winner: Cowboys
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
Here lie the remains of the 2017 Cleveland Browns, the 3rd team in NFL history to have a winning percentage of 0 in an NFL season.
Winner: Steelers
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons
For the Falcons it's simple: win, and they're in. But accomplishing this against a Panthers team no one will want to face come this postseason is easier said than done.
Winner: Panthers
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Ravens coach John Harbaugh pulled a Kanye this week by saying the NFL doesn't care about the Ravens by moving their game from 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m., which he believes will result in a smaller crowd at the game. He's not entirely wrong, and he can get back at the NFL by making a long postseason run with his boring team if they beat the Bungles.
Winner: Ravens
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
The Bills mafia has a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999 if they win on Sunday. This should be an easy task against smokin' Jay Cutler and the Dolphins, but the Bills have known cold, playoff-less winters for nearly two decades. One has to wonder if they have it in them to finally end their playoff drought.
Winner: Bills
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Despite the rumblings of their former Super Bowl winning coach, Jon Gruden, being interested in the head coaching position, the Bucs have inexplicably retained head coach Dirk Koetter for next season. That won't put a smile on Chucky's face.
Winner: Saints
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
The Titans have a chance to still make the postseason as a wild card team, but the Sacksonville defense will want to prove last week's thrashing at the hands of the 49ers was a fluke.
Winner: Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos
The Chiefs will start rookie first round pick QB Patrick Mahomes against the "No Fly Zone" Denver defense this Sunday. Could this be the beginning of the Patrick Mahomes era in KC?
Winner: Chiefs
Oakland Raiders at Los Angles Chargers
Despite what will surely be a road game against LA's favorite team, the Raiders, the Chargers actually have a chance to make it to the playoffs with a win and some help Sunday. The Raiders, who have been the NFL's most disappointing team this season, may want to consider a coaching change if they want to just win, baby.
Winner: Chargers
San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are resting up for the playoffs with the NFC West wrapped up. Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be the answer at QB for the 49ers, and a team that many thought could go winless not long ago may finish as the hottest team in the NFL.
Winner: 49ers
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians denied a report this week saying he will resign as coach of the Cardinals, but all signs point to that report being true. Despite all the dysfunction with Earl Thomas courting free agent suitors already, the Seahawks can fall into the playoffs with a win and a Falcons loss. They may be dysfunctional, but this is a team that knows what it's doing once they find themselves in the postseason.
Winner: Seahawks

This is part of a farm on the lower part of a volcano, surrounded by the clouds at more than 6,000 feet above sea level. Above the town of Banos, this is pretty low altitude compared to Quito or Cuenca, Ecuador. There was no need for altitude change remedies for this northeast united states girl. I got along just fine without pills.
In the background of the cover photo, you can just barely see through the clouds, the crest of another mountain (or volcano) across the divide where the town resides below. There are farms all over these mountains. The land is fertile, the climate is perfect for growing things. Some of the farms are vertical and run up the steep sides of the incline. I caught my breath just thinking about the thigh muscles of these farmers 🙂

Maruti Suzuki, on Friday, said it would recall over one lakh units of its popular models — Ertiga, Swift and DZire — to replace faulty fuel filler neck. The recall, one of the biggest by the company, will impact 42,481 units of DZire, 47,237 units of Swift and 13,593 units of Ertiga manufactured between November 12, 2013, and February 4, 2014.
Stock reacts
Reacting to the news, the company scrip closed at Rs.1,930.50, down by 1.46 per cent on the BSE.
Explaining the reasons for recall, Maruti said that the affected vehicles could have complaints of fuel smell and in extreme conditions may also be prone to some leakage, especially if the tank is filled up to the Fuel Cap, beyond 'Auto cut off level'.
It clarified that this "exercise is limited to vehicles within the above specified range and does not pertain to any other vehicle of the company." "Maruti Suzuki dealers will contact owners of all vehicles in the above mentioned range.
The company will replace the 'fuel filler neck' free of cost," it said. The carmaker is dispatching new fuel filler necks to dealer workshops so that they can carry out the replacements.
"Considering the number of vehicles impacted, the company is building up stock of the required component at its dealer workshops, before inviting customers," Maruti said.
Further, the company said users who have bought their cars post-November 12, 2013, can check the company's website to ascertain if their car is among the above mentioned vehicles.
Customers may also contact the nearest Maruti Suzuki dealer workshop to ascertain if their vehicle is among the above vehicles.
The recall is the company's largest after its recall of about one lakh units of 'A-Star' in February 2010 to replace a faulty fuel pump part.
Last year, MSI had recalled 1,492 units of Ertiga, Swift, DZire and A-Star models produced in October 2013 to rectify a possible problem with steering column.

These three items were found in the files and albums kept by Marguerite Cook Clark. Marguerite's mother, Maggie Martin Cook, labeled both photos.
Alice Mae Davis was the youngest daughter of Henry Jefferson Davis and Eliza C. Wimberly. She was born on June 17, 1884 and her father died of pneumonia just six month's after her birth.
|Maggie Cook and Alice Davis
On December 6, 1903, Alice married Joe Bryant Regan, son of Reddick Bryan Regan and Sarah Elizabeth Gardner. Joe was a grandson of John Regan and a great-grandson of Elizabeth S. Regan Bryan.
Alice and Joe lived in the Lee Community when they were first married and in 1919 purchased the Stewart Hotel and established the Regan Hotel. They sold the hotel in 1938 and built a home on the edge of town where Joe ran a small dairy.
Alice and Joe raised three daughters and three of their grandchildren.
Alice died on December 6, 1958 and Joe died a few months later on April 18, 1959. They are both buried in the Providence Cemetery in Ringgold, Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

Dying with dignity: Physician-assisted suicide
29-year-old Brittany Maynard, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, has decided she will end her life Nov, 1. Maynard will take her life through a process known as physician-assisted suicide. The Dying with Dignity Act, which is legal in Oregon, Washington State, Vermont, Montana and New Mexico, allows terminally ill patients to ask their doctor for lethal prescription drugs. Maynard has raised a lot of controversy about her decision to "die with dignity."
Freshman Zsa Zsa Quach knows the pain of dealing with situations such as Maynard's. Having a younger brother who is a leukemia survivor and a grandfather diagnosed with colon cancer, Quach understands the mindset that Maynard has developed.
"With Brittany's case, if she feels content with her life, feeling that she lived her life to the fullest, it's her choice and I respect that because going through cancer is such a journey. If I was in her shoes, I would think the same way because I would never put anyone who loved me so much through that," Quach said.
Quach said there's an aspect many people have overlooked: contentment. When you think about denying these victims the opportunity to die happily, it is completely unethical, and by allowing them to suffer while living, you're killing them in the process.
In the 2011 Emmy-nominated documentary, "How to Die in Oregon," I was introduced to a woman by the name Cody Curtis, whose life changed after a perceived stomach ache turned out to be large cancer cells in her liver. After months of suffering, which included being in a coma for 50 days, Curtis made the decision to go through with the lethal prescription. Not everyone agreed with the route Curtis chose. Dr. Katherine Morris, Curtis' physician, said she was extremely conflicted as she got more attached to her patient.
"This is a law that supports my value, but I'm going to write a prescription to end someone's life," Morris said.
Doctors are not the bad guys in these situations. Derek Humprey, author of the book, "Final Exit," also lost his first wife to cancer. "The doctor doesn't kill the
patient, the patient kills themselves," he said. Once the doctors write their approval for the prescription, the power and control is all in the hands of the patient.
"No one is forcing them to take the drug. It serves as an aid, so when things are taking a turn for the worst, the patient has the option to die peacefully," Humphrey said.
I couldn't help but think of my own family as I became more acquainted with the topic of physician-assisted suicide. Diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer run in my blood. Most recently, I've had to see my great-aunt Gerald change into a complete stranger. When my mom shows me pictures of my aunt's bruised face from a bad fall, or during holidays when she doesn't remember me coming up to hug her, my heart aches. She's lost control of her life, so I begin to question if the life she currently leads is even worth living any more? I would want someone, like my aunt, to have access to these prescribed lethal drugs. That way, she could make the decision for herself regarding how much longer she wants to suffer.
When looking at this debate, you have to set aside your personal emotions and religious oppositions and begin to look at what these victims and their families have to deal with. I know that when I die I want it to be peaceful. No struggles, aches or tears. I imagine dying in a serene, dignified manner with my family and friends surrounded around me. Across America, everyone deserves the same opportunity. You have a right to live a happy life, and dying shouldn't be any different.

"I am delighted with this ruling," Wilders said. "It is a victory, not only for me but for all the Dutch people. Today is a victory for freedom of speech. The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam, and resistance against islamisation is not a crime. I have spoken, I speak and I shall continue to speak."
The charges against Geert Wilders were that he had made statements that were intentionally offensive to Muslims; incited hatred against Muslims; incited discrimination against Muslims; and incited hatred of non-Western immigrants.
The Islamic supremacists who initiated the case told the Dutch dhimmi judges that the things Wilders said had led to a rise in discrimination and violence against Muslims. They had no proof, of course, of anyone committing any act of violence against any Muslim, or discriminating against any Muslim, because of anything Geert Wilders said. They just wanted to compel the Netherlands to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws.

Much of this movie features English subtitles, even when the characters are speaking English, as the dialogue can be hard to understand.
Sasson Gabai, Ronit Elkabetz, Saleh Bakri
Tewfiq (about fishing): No, it's not boring at all. It's the sound of water and waves…and distant children playing on the beach…and the sound of the bait falling in the water. In early hours at the sea you can hear the whole world like…like symphony.
Dina: And the fish…you cook it?
Tewfiq: Well…usually I don't catch…
A small police orchestra from Egypt is visiting Israel to play at the opening of an Arab cultural center, but they end up in the wrong place. The locals in this very small, quiet town give them food and a place to sleep overnight.
This is a quiet, subdued movie, but it's also very effective. It's quite funny at times, but also pretty touching at other times. I like how they had various members of the band in separate areas interacting with different characters. It kept the movie interesting by not having it all in one setting.
I especially liked Khaled's (Bakri) storyline, being a fifth wheel on a double-date with some of the locals. There's a great scene where he attempts to help Papi – who is very inexperienced with girls – with his date, which is the scene in the picture I put in this review.
All the character interactions are good, though. I wasn't expecting to be very interested in Tewfiq and Dina's date, but their conversations were actually very moving and kept my attention. Interestingly, I think that's 3 movies in a row I've watched with a main character who is still dealing with the loss of his wife.
This movie might be a bit slow and dull for some people, but if you've got the patience for it (and for reading some subtitles), it's well worth watching.
10 – 1 for a few bits that seem extraneous – .5 for a couple slow patches = 8.5

Redundancy when I am doing a different role from my contracted role

Wages today are nearly 20 per cent below a level that would exist had wage growth continued after 2008 and the average British worker is nearly £5,000 worse off as a result, according to a new report from Bath University's Institute for Policy Research.
Despite unemployment having fallen rapidly since the peak in 2011, the report highlights that government cannot rely on this measure alone to re-start sustained wage growth. Instead, it argues, productivity growth, business and infrastructure investment and greater equality in the distribution of the proceeds of recovery are all needed to ensure real wage recovery.
It also suggests that real wages need be linked to productivity again, as was the historic norm. Without correcting this, the report authors suggest, any recovery is likely to be focused on top earners not ordinary workers.
It points out that after the last recession in the 1990s, real wages began to recover two years after the peak in unemployment, with subsequent growth recuperating all wage losses and returning salaries in line with trend levels within eight years. Against this precedent, says the report, the wage recovery in 2014 is a long way behind schedule.
Lead author of the report from the University's Department of Social & Policy Sciences, Professor Paul Gregg says: "The recent fall in unemployment is likely to be sufficient to stop real wages falling further by the end of 2014. Continued falls in unemployment will lead to modest wage recovery, but this alone will not go far enough.
"For a sustained wage recovery, the economy needs to generate a return to the levels of productivity growth seen over the 25 years before the crash, but that has been notably absent over the last six years. As labour gets scarce and more expensive, we should expect firms to increase investment generating productivity improvements. However, even this will not be enough for sustained real wage gains unless the distribution of the returns from productivity growth can be channelled back to ordinary workers."
Other than falling unemployment, the report suggests that steady improvements in economic efficiency and improved wage equality both must be met in order to regain the 20 per cent loss in real wages.
It argues that a return to improving economic efficiency requires a major boost to business investment in order to recover the lost ground since the financial crash, also reflecting a need for investment in infrastructure and housing to reduce the pressures of inflation.
Yet the hardest agenda politically is how to reconnect earnings with productivity, which it says requires policymakers to address issues of rising inequality in the labour market.
Professor Gregg adds: "A major challenge for government is how to control the extraordinary and rapid increases in pay and pensions to executives, which has far outstripped company profitability. If productivity improvements are to benefit all workers, the issue of wage inequality must come into sharp focus."

Pop-star eateries for Bangkok's Show DC complex
K-pop star Psy of Gangnam Style is one of several celebrities who will have eateries at the upcoming Show DC/YG Republique integrated food and entertainment complex in Bangkok.
He will have a noodle house, while other Korean stars featured are singer Rain with After The Rain restaurant, and boy band BTS (Bangtan Boys) with Brick Cafe.
This was revealed at a media update event, which featured a K-pop fashion show featuring Thai model Rawiwan Bunprachom ("Yoghurt").
Near Rama IX Road the Bht9.5 billion (US$274.8 million) project is 90 per cent complete and on track to open in November. It covers 18,000 sqm over six levels, and more than 400 brands have already signed up 93 per cent of the retail space.
K-District @Show DC will be the largest K-Pop town outside Korea. As well as retail and restaurants, it will showcase an acting and talent academy from Korea, plus Korean plastic surgery clinics, cosmetics, fashion and lifestyle shops.
"Our plan is also to stimulate the economy and promote Thai products by putting together best-in-class Thai products at the Thai Thai Market, covering 2500 sqm on the fourth floor," says Show DC chairman Chayadit Hutanuwatra. The market will feature 150 shops.
Outlets at the project's "Shop & Enjoy" experience include Asia Herbs Association, Hot Star (Taiwanese snacks), Kanna (health food), Krua Wandee Culinary Art School and Stick House (Italian-style ice cream), along with fashion brands BKK Original and H&M.

Interview || Kaylee Rose
NashNews: Start by telling us about Kaylee Rose, who are you? How did you get into music?
Kaylee Rose: My name is Kaylee Rose. I was born in Miami and moved to St. Augustine in middle school. In Miami, I grew up doing cheerleading & hip-hop dancing. When I moved to St. Augustine in middle school I taught myself how to play guitar and that's when music started for me. I started playing at all of the local bars on a regular basis at age 14. That carried on all throughout high school and college until I decided to make the move to Nashville. Along with singing, I was captain of my high school dance team & class president. It's funny how balancing all of those things in high school really helped me with my transition to Nashville.
NN: You just released a new EP, tell us a little bit about it.
Kaylee Rose: I released my first EP this past week and it is available on Spotify and Itunes. It is 4 songs that I feel represent who I am as an artist and songwriter. Produced by Matt McVaney, the songs were all co-written with songwriters that have helped me express my unique style of country and pop. I am so proud of these songs and am so happy they are finally out!
NN: What is one thing you hope to cross off of your professional bucket list within the next year? Five years?
Kaylee Rose: In my 3 years of living in Nashville I have grown so much not just as a singer but as a songwriter. My goal in the next 5 years would be to play bigger stages and have success as a songwriter. Whether it is someone else cutting and recording my songs or it is myself.
NN: You've played around 1000 shows since you were 14, what have you learned through playing those shows about yourself as an artist? About your stage presence?
Kaylee Rose: The biggest thing I've learned is that performing is not about me but about my crowd. I want to write and play songs that people want to hear because if they're pumped up and happy with what I'm doing, then so am I. I feed off of it. Whether it's two or two thousand people in the room, if a song I wrote moved someone in the crowd, my goal is accomplished for that show. I've definitely learned the difference between being an entertainer versus being a singer. I am so thankful for all of the shows I've played because there are so many little tricks to performing and writing that can only be taught by going out and playing countless shows.
NN: What are three things you have to take with you to a show?
Kaylee Rose: I don't have many things I bring to a show. But my friends always laugh because I always bring the most ridiculous water bottles to my shows. I'm always that girl carrying literally a gallon of water. Hydration is so important for singers. If Taco Bell was good for the vocal chords I'd probably bring that too lol.
NN: If you could do a collaboration with anyone, who would you choose and why?
Kaylee Rose: If I could collaborate with anyone it would probably be Ed Sheeran. He is such an amazing songwriter and singer and has so much swag. I love how he will sing a beautiful folky ballad and then in the next song he will start rapping. Everything about his style is very unpredictable yet authentic, which is inspiring.
NN: What is the best advice you have been given about the music industry?
Kaylee Rose: The best advice I have ever been given is that this journey is a marathon, not a sprint. It is very rare for things to move quickly in this town, no matter how hard you work. A lot of musicians, including myself, have moved here with thousands of shows and paid dues under their belts. But it's kind of like clicking a refresh button when you move to Nashville, everyone is back at square one. As frustrating as it gets, the longer I'm here, the more I'm learning how to trust the process and how to patiently work hard. They aren't kidding when they say it's a 5 to 10 year town.
Follow Kaylee Rose on social media @iamkayleerose
Check out her new EP and let us know which song is your favorite!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Kaylee play many many times since she's been in Nashville and this girl has something special. This is a hard business and she keeps smiling and her wonderful spirit shines. I would love nothing more than to see her make it big. Good people deserve good things.

Great article - I just listened to the EP and it's all radio-worthy. I think both High On You and History could be top 40 right now on country and pop charts which is pretty impressive. It's hard to choose! Spare Key is clever and Elevator is the catchiest but also skews more pop like I could hear Rhianna on that. I like them all :)

If there is one truth with the New England Patriots which I hold self-evident –outside all things his holiness, Tom Brady—it is that Julian Edelman is criminally underrated.
He is not a "system" player, or simply a replaceable cog in the ever-churning, highly functioning machine that is New England's offense, he is the heartbeat which makes it go.
Tom Brady is the unit's life force, that statement is not questionable. Without him, the system ceases to function. But even a life force needs assistance to spread its supply and JE11 serves to facilitate that need.
The former college quarterback who was picked in the seventh round of the NFL draft has molded himself, through the semi-stalking of Brady coupled with sheer determination and hard work, into one of the league's most lethal weapons.
We (ahem, Aaron Jackson) revert to designating Edelman into the same category of the Wes Welker's of the world; undersized players who carved niches amidst the organized chaos of New England's offense. Yet in doing such, we overlook the fact that Edelman is more Randy Moss and Rob Gronkowski with the ball in his hands than he is comparable to Welker.
It is his explosiveness and his willingness to seek out contact that gives him an ability to turn a seven-yard slant into a 25-yard gain. A fact that separates him from his predecessors at the slot position and a combination which positions Edelman at the top of Brady's list of greatest targets.
In Edelman's four years as the featured number one receiver in the Patriots' offense, Brady has targeted his safety blanket on 24, 25, 25 and 30 percent of all throws with the pair on the field. Only Troy Brown (33% in '01) and Welker (32% in '09) have seen greater attention from Brady than Edelman did a year ago. To compare those numbers to the other staple of New England's offense during JE11's career, Rob Gronkowski's high-mark for targets was 130 in 2014, five less than Edelman's third-best career total.
Edelman's offensive impact has never been more evident than it was in 2015, when the Patriots posted a 9-0 record and averaged 33.6 points per game with him on the field, both tops in the league. Following the broken foot Edelman suffered in week nine at New York, the Pats went 3-4 over the final seven games and averaged 23.1 points per game, a 10 ½ point drop in production.
Unmeasured in the stats are the trust factor, leadership qualities and clutch abilities which Edelman brings to the table. He elevates his play when it matters most, evident by his 21 catches for 342 yards in last year's postseason, making him the all-time leading Patriots' receiver in the playoffs.
Fortunately for the Pats, the loss of Edelman will not be felt as heavily this season as it would have in years past due to the overwhelming depth at both the receiver and running back positions. The next man will step up and the Patriots will still make their march towards a sixth Lombardi Trophy.
But when Brady finds himself under pressure in the pocket, he will not have the same assurance of knowing one person on the field will be exactly where TB12 wants them to be. That one person will put themselves on the line to bail out a rare mistake by the QB (ref. see 'The Catch' in Super Bowl 51). It may not seem like much, but it could amount to a crucial sack or a tipped pass that finds its way into the hands of a defender because the receiver made his cut at the 20-yard line as opposed to the 19.7-yard line.
While the visible skills separate Edelman from Danny Amendola and Welker, it's the intangibles which elevates him above the likes of Rob Gronkowski and Randy Moss. Julian Edelman has quietly managed to become the most valuable weapon that Tom Brady weapon has ever possessed. That truth I hold self-evident, and you should too.

Thierry Germain makes an unmistakable Loire cab franc in a beautiful biodynamic expression of the land. Les Roches is elegant with perfumes, fruit notes, earth components, and roasted bell pepper qualities and without complications from overpowering pyrazines. Grapes are 100% destemmed and so it is a softer wine with subtle smooth edges and well integrated acidity. It needs some time to open so either decant or be patient. I drank over three days and days two and three were best.
PS. I love the drawing on the label. Think and drink. Always. — 2 years ago
This is a spectacularly good cool climate South African Shiraz blend from the highly talented Duncan Savage (formerly of Cape Point Vineyards).
It pushes fruit over iodine and has an appreciated light handed restrained extraction. Color is youthful translucent ruby with aromas of brand new leather gloves, graphite, and juniper. High acid dark plums and blackberries envelope perfectly grippy tannins and a mouthful of minerals, coffee, and violets. As elegant a Shiraz as I've tasted — a year ago
A stunning rich dense glass of ripe dark fruits in a ruby red robe. Aromas of violets, black plum, blackberry, red table grapes, Vietnamese cinnamon, cocoa, and strong chalky minerals. Flavors are fruity and also very ripe. Sweet blackberry and black cherry stewing in cinnamon and mocha. Time in neutral oak provides structure but not flavor. Built for food. — a year ago
The Trebbiano in Paolo Bea's Arboreus see extended skin contact and are joined in the vat by semi-dried grapes of the same variety. The finished wine is spectacular. Complex, deep, polished. Beautiful copper orange color with mile deep aromas of apricots, peach, orange, and vanilla bourbon. The texture is surreal and nonlinear. At first it's dense and rich but then quickly slips into a medium tannic acidic body. Flavors of sweet honeyed orange, subtle notes of vanilla spice, and creme brûlée stick around for a long welcomed while.
Start this at cellar temp and drink slowly as it warms. Where so many orange wines are a novelty, this is an expertly assembled wine of purpose. — 2 years ago
So so good and not at all reflective of the $15 I paid (on clearance). Sweet rieslings are a hard sell for wine shops and I'll continue to take advantage until the public eventually comes around. These wines are so misunderstood.
Meulenhof is a beautiful golden color and has a spectacular nose of petroleum, cinnamon, passion fruit, and baked lemon. Voluptuous and sweet with explosive fruit flavors. Think lemon verbena, lychee, honey, and orange marmalade.
Another treasure sourced from Terry Thiese. — a year ago
Wild spirited and structured at once. Hazy pale yellow and completely unfiltered with aromas of skunky sour dough on a very dank nose of lemon and ginger. Fine bubbles. Flavors of high pitched baked lemon, honey, pear, and a dry finish of chalky limestone and spicy ginger notes. Always on hand - a staple. — 2 years ago
This incredibly unique semi-carbonated Lambrusco is all about Red Delicious apples. Pretty crimson murky red with a tinge of copper on the brim. It's completely dry with a bitter note reminiscent of apple skin. Tart cranberries and spiced cherry flavors formulate into a Dr. Pepper and nutmeg elixir. So unusual and so perfect for this time of year.
And more surprises - an odd cone shaped knobless Champagne cork that requires a corkscrew. It comes wrapped in a personal paper note from the winemaker about wine quality. — a year ago
If you like snacking before dinner, this 30 year Amontillado will bring your aperitif game to new levels. Think about toasted hazelnuts and aged tan Gouda with the calcium crystal crunchies. The mahogany color is stunning and suggests extreme depth. The nose confirms with complex aromas of sweet dates, caramel, walnuts, vanilla, and toffee and probably twenty other notes that aren't registering.
Aromas suggest sweet but it's completely dry - salty, nutty, and slippery with a little bite. Sharp flavors of caramel apple and roasted cocoa nibs. — a year ago
A deeply green Loire Chenin. Laser precise, electric, and acute. I love Becky Wasserman's take: "punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness."
Aromas are subtle. Baked lemon, flint, chalk, baking spice, a whiff of smoke. Flavors of star fruit, kumquat, passion fruit, lime, and Meyer lemon.
Table melting acid. — a year ago
Cornas wines are a gem that I need to seek out more. They are bold, unsubtle expressions of what could be the world's greatest red grape - Syrah. The best examples are extraordinary. As a friend recently observed, my generation could embrace Cornas the way my parent's generation has embraced Bordeaux.
Domaine Lionnet is a tiny two person operation with just 2.2 tiny hectares. Terre Brûlée is something dense and rich, spectacular, and completely unostentatious and pure. The nose has generous blackberry and violet. The palette is supported with strong tannin and upfront flavors of blackberry and raspberry and with an underlay of meat, olive, and iodine.
The balance is what makes the beauty. — 2 years ago

The Grishko Miracle Pointe Shoe. The latest pointe shoe in the Grishko line, uses the same healing technology found in band-aides. Nano-silver particles are sprayed on a layer of soft material in the lining of the sole and box, allowing constant contact with the foot to promote healing. This technology neutralizes the harmful bacteria and fungi that cause unpleasant odors and infections. The Grishko Miracle Pointe Shoe is made on the same last as the 2007 but has a lower heel. Its flexible and elastic materials adapt to the shape of the foot the moment it is tried on. This shoe is incredibly comfortable and can be worn without toe pads!

Another fire erupted in California early Thursday morning and evacuations are underway, the Riverside County fire department told CNN.
The fire in Jurupa Valley is being called the 46 Fire because it is located on the 5300 block of 46th Street. It was reported at 12:39 a.m. local time.
The fire had spread across 75 acres and was 0% contained as of 2:45 a.m. local time, the fire department said in a news release. At least 74 firefighters are battling the blaze, which the fire department said was "burning with a rapid rate of spread."
So far one residential structure, one mobile home and two outbuildings have been damaged, Cal Fire Riverside said in a tweet.
Hurricane-force winds have been blowing through Southern California, stoking the fires that are raging through the area.
More than 10 active wildfires are currently threatening the state, according to Cal Fire.
Among them, the Getty Fire in Los Angeles is threatening more than 7,000 homes, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. And about 40 miles northwest of the city, the Easy Fire broke out in Simi Valley Wednesday. Wind gusts of hurricane force -- at least 74 mph -- were reported at a weather station about seven miles north of Simi Valley.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday the state had secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help fight the Easy Fire. The grant allows affected local and state and agencies to apply for a 75% reimbursement of eligible fire suppression costs.

NBC jumps on gay marriage bandwagon
NBC wants to do its part to normalize gay marriage. In its annual marriage show on the Today Show, it will for the first time feature gay couples who are marrying. It's a major faux-pas to only show men and women marrying. Of course, they probably won't just open it to gay couples, but will make sure at least one gay couple is represented, even if 10,000 heterosexual copules apply and only one gay couple does. Because it's not enough to open it to everyone, the network must proactively push an agenda.
Check out the full story here.

Intelligent Communication Between Cells: Exosomes and Ectosomes
Joel Kontinen
Exosomes and ectosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that all cells produce. Exosomes measure 50–150 nm and ectosomes 100–500 nm.
Previously, researchers assumed that both vesicles were remnants of dead cells, but a recent paper published in the journal Current Biology shows that they were wrong.
Exosomes and ectosomes can travel relatively long distances, and exosomes can deliver cargoes that include non-coding RNAs and DNA sequences to other cells.
Scientists are just beginning to learn about their function, but they already know that these vesicles
"navigate through extracellular fluid for varying times and distances. Subsequently, they interact with recognized target cells and undergo fusion with endocytic or plasma membranes, followed by integration of vesicle membranes into their fusion membranes and discharge of luminal cargoes into the cytosol, resulting in changes to cellular physiology. After fusion, exosome/ectosome components can be reassembled in new vesicles that are then recycled to other cells, activating effector networks."
Looks like a considerable infusion of intelligence is needed to bring this about. But, then, practically everything in our cells requires intelligence.
In other words, "nothing about molecular machines makes sense without intelligent design."
We also have two tiny postmen in our cells, i.e. dynein and kinesin, that carry cargo to specific addresses within cells.
Our cells are miniature cities running at 100 percent efficiency, and they produce 100,000 nanomachines per hour.

Omaha Performing Arts once again puts on a great show with "The Underwater Bubble Show," which will be at the Orpheum Theatre right here in Omaha on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. This is a family-friendly event, so kids and parents alike are welcome. Don't think that this show is just for the kids, either – there's plenty for the adults to enjoy, as well.
About the Show
In "The Underwater Bubble Show," a character named Mr. B goes to a land called Bubblelandia. In this town, everything is filled with bubbles, and various characters help Mr. B make his way through the unfamiliar landscape. There will be a ton of sea creatures for your children to learn about, and the bright colors and eccentric costumes make this a show that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
There will also be many quotes and references from popular kids' movies and stories, such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid." Guests of all ages will have fun recognizing their favorite characters and quotes from the movies of their childhood. This modern fairy tale is a great way to teach kids about storytelling and the performing arts.
Get Your Tickets
Tickets for the show are on-sale now, so make sure you buy them in advance, so you don't miss out on what's to come. If you wait too long, they may already be sold out by the time you get around to buying them.
Make a Day of It
Why not make a whole day out of this event? After the show, you can take your family out for an Italian dinner at Spezia. Or, if you want to make sure the kids are well-fed before the show begins, you could get lunch at Louie M's Burger Lust Café prior to seeing "The Underwater Bubble Show." Either way, by making the performance into an entire event, you will be instilling in your children a love for theatre and performing arts that they will carry with them for years to come. What more could you ask for from an afternoon at the theatre?
Getting from place to place on the day of the show could be overwhelming if you don't have the perfect ride. Luckily, O'Daniel Honda in Omaha, Nebraska, has got you covered. We'll help you find the perfect car to take to the theatre, out to eat, and beyond.

When we made the decision to grow our family for the first time back in 2009, I had no way of fully comprehending the intense love and joy I would feel for my children, nor the perennial barrage of challenges I would face juggling family, work, home and personal needs – and all in the absence of family support.
A couple of days ago, I was really struggling. These days it seems nearly impossible to keep all the balls up in the air. You see, for the past few months, I've been following an overwhelming, instinctive urge to focus primarily on the needs of my family. And that has meant letting one or more balls fall to the ground. Admittedly, some of them, like our household in particular, has not only fallen but rolled pretty far out of reach. It's a hard fact to accept that, sometimes, you just can't do it all. And, quite frankly, it's become a steady source of frustration.
In my desperation, I reached out to my friend, Andrea to, as the Germans put it so aptly, "kotz mich aus." But we're both self-employed moms, so there's no time to chat in between the escapades of adorable, yet terribly curious and investigative toddlers, or the unrelenting stream of questions posed by the planet's most inquisitive preschoolers. No, it all happens via WhatsApp voice chat.
Anyway, it was through these patchwork momversations that I had a major epiphany: we moms deserve a medal. No, I'm serious. Hear me out. We all deserve medals. Motherhood isn't about having a baby; it's about the exhilarating, rewarding, messy and, at times, painful growth that comes along with the gift of loving and caring for another human being, every day and every step of the way.
For every time you get up in the middle of the night to cuddle a wakeful little one, bring a glass of water for the third time, or reassure a worried, tearful face, you deserve a medal.
Every time your tank is running low because you've filled everyone else's, you deserve a medal.
Whenever you stop and reflect on the kind of parent you are working toward becoming, you deserve a medal.
For every meltdown that you keep your composure through, even though your little one is boiling over with emotion, you deserve a medal.
For all those times you wished you had done it differently, and resolve to make a change, you deserve a medal.
When your planned morning outing is delayed by broken dishes, big messes, soiled diapers, forgotten items, but you make it anyway or you have the courage to scrap your plans completely, you deserve a medal.
For every puddle of baby pee you mop up, or worse, you deserve a medal.
Every time you sit down for five minutes to drink a cup of coffee, read an article, paint your nails or just stare off into space, you've done something for yourself and, you deserve a medal.
For each tear that rolls down your cheeks because life is unpredictable, hard and sloppy, you deserve a medal.
For every little item you check off your to-do list, you deserve a medal.
For that unhealthy meal you swore you'd never put on your table, you deserve a medal.
For those nights when the two hours before your child's bedtime seem to pass into eternity, you deserve a medal.
Every damn time you are accosted by a devout member of the Oma Polizei, you deserve a medal.
For every other piece of unsolicited parenting advice you've ever been subjected to, you deserve a medal.
For all those emotional or heated discussions you have with your partner about parenting, love, life, or work, you deserve a medal.
For digging deep day after day to find the strength to be that steady source of love, patience and kindness for those around you, you deserve a medal.
Your love, dedication and support for your family day in and day out are nothing short of incredible. All the little and big mistakes you inevitably make along the way are opportunities to discover something new about yourself and how you want to approach life.
Stay strong. Be proud. You are an ÜBER MOM and YOU DESERVE A MEDAL!

Aggressiveness strategy
|Aggressiveness strategy
|See also
Aggressiveness strategy of marketing is related to the scope and weight of the competitive techniques and tools used to obtain competitive advantage over other players in the market.
Four degrees of aggressiveness strategy
- prospector strategy - means that the company is dominated by strengths, and there are strongly related opportunities in the environment, it is a strategy of strong expansion and development using both factors as best as possible. Prospectors builds strong competitive advantage using various methods of marketing mix. It bases its marketing strategy on quick response to consumer needs. Aggressive strategy includes such activities as: capturing opportunities, strengthening the market position, taking over organizations with the same profile, concentrating resources on competitive products. It should be noted that this strategy does not involve broad market research activities and comprehensive market data analysis.
- defender strategy - is based on enabling the company to survive or combine it with another one. In the pessimistic version, the company should prepare itself for liquidation. The main goal of this strategy is to secure liquidity in the short term, eliminate or decrease influence of current threats, maintain financial credibility and maximize profit. By adopting this strategy, the company strives to maintain its market position and adapt to existing barriers in the market, strives to operate within its existing market and organizational structure. Managers in defender strategy try to acquire short-term capital and fully exploit the possibilities of self-financing.
- analyzer strategy – managers in this strategy perform broad marketing research and analysis to reduce risk, maintain current revenue, reduce competitors influence. The analyst's manager deals mainly with obtaining information from the organization's environment and internal situation in order to secure the current functioning of the company. It does not take the risk of investing in new markets and products for which there is no certainty of success due to the lack of information.
- reactor strategy - strategy focused mainly on maintaining the status-quo of the company. Managers react only to changes adversely affecting the current operations of the organization (sales, profits, and customer acquisition). The reaction usually takes place only when the negative impact of competition, the state of the economy or the expectations of customers start to have a fundamental negative impact on the financial results and pose a threat to the existence of the enterprise

So it was 38 minutes past midnight today and I was sitting in a friend's car having a great conversation with him. It was so good, we continued to sit and chat after reaching our destination. Now I must admit, I know conversations with me can be a bit challenging because I tend to detour often. He says I veer off onto multiple highways instead of the path I set out. I don't quite agree. I think I just encounter several roundabouts with eye-catching scenery at each exit, all deserving of commentary, but eventually I circle back.
Anyway, one thing we talked about were these dreadful new year's resolutions. OMG!!! I said I hate trying to think of what I want to change about myself because it causes me to be over critical. I find I come out of thought feeling worse about my situation instead of better. As I continued to talk and talk and talk about that point, his facial expressions became more and more animated and simply amusing. I get a lot of "are you finished yet?" and head tilting from him all the time, but knowing my best friend as well as I do, this non-verbal communication was much louder. Yeah, I'd definitely traveled another highway into a whole different state. It wasn't even a neighboring state. I was damn near across the country, but made it back in record time.
Fast forward to an hour eighteen minutes past midnight and guess what – I HAVE A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!!! I am going to make a conscious effort not to overthink. I am my worst enemy in situations of thought because I get in my head so much. Overthinking creates problems that were never there. It causes so much question of a good thing it gets ruined. It often causes unnecessary confusion that becomes difficult to escape. Overthinking is an obsession of mine, but I've found a substitute to help kick that bad habit: PRAYING. Rather than thinking 10x over I'm going to pray once (maybe twice) and follow God's lead. No matter how much I think about something, there's no telling if my sole decision of words or actions are correct. I'm a praying woman, but I recognize how much I still try to control a situation I intended to turn over to God.
Need for control and fear of failure and disappointment are insecurities controlling my life. It's time to release myself from such bondage to live free in faith. No more overthinking! Pray…..breathe…..let faith take over. That's my new process. I may falter during this process, but I know I have a friend who'll keep me on track, if only for selfish reasons. Clearly by now he's hoping I find shortcuts to everywhere.

Long nights and lava fields
I spent a weekend in Iceland enjoying long nights and lava fields. Here's my complete guide to a stopover on this magical island.
I spent a weekend in Iceland enjoying long nights and lava fields. Here's my complete guide to a stopover on this magical island.
A beautiful October day in Dalarna was spent exploring the rivers and forests near Fjätfallen.
The skies are blue and the sun shines upon me as I enter Fulufjällets National Park with my friends.
Early in the summer I went camping and did absolutely nothing for a change.
I've actually had a bit of a vacation this summer, I put work aside and let social media just be which has been well needed….
In the High Coast of Sweden lies Skuleskogen National park, a beautiful area great for hiking and camping.
Outdoor bouldering season is finally here and we spent a few hours climbing in Morsviken.
After spending two days in Helsinki it was time for me to explore more of Finland. Together with five other bloggers I travelled north to Koli National Park.
I attended PING, a yearly influencer festival in Helsinki and I found myself again.
A post about what to do during a weekend in Teijo, Finland ranging from hiking to trying local craft beer.
During the holidays we went for day hikes in a magical winter wonderland up on North Mountain.
We headed out to nature just for a few hours to wind down with coffee at a local hilltop.
On my way home from my visit down south in Borås I made a quick stop in Stockholm. Since I was I town I decided…
I've spent most of my childhood years in the southern parts of Sweden, but as a kid my interest in nature was not what it…
It's easy to forget what a big country Sweden is. Just a few hours of driving can transport you from warm summer days in the countryside…

New guidelines from the American Psychological Association focus on the mental and physical health risks of "traditional masculinity… anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence" among men and boys. The primary purpose of the new guidelines, said Fredric Rabinowitz, one of the lead writers and a professor of psychology at the University of Redlands, was to help men and boys lead happy, healthy lives. "We see that men have higher suicide rates, men have more cardiovascular disease and men are lonelier as they get older," he said. "We're trying to help men by expanding their emotional repertoire, not trying to take away the strengths that men have." … The guidelines note that men sometimes avoid seeking help from others, including from psychologists, because it could make them look weak. And they note that even when men do seek help, psychologists sometimes err by diagnosing them in outward-looking ways — with substance abuse problems, for example — rather than with more internalized disorders like depression. The guidelines also cite research on health risks that are particular to men. They die sooner than women, in part because of poorer diets and more risky behaviors like smoking. They commit the vast majority of violent crimes in the United States and make up most of the reported victims, even though men have "greater socioeconomic advantages than women in every ethnic group." The document acknowledges that the issues faced by men and boys can be compounded by other things, like race and income."
California Governor Gavin Newsom introduced his first budget proposal this week, calling for increased investments in early childhood care and learning (including $750 million for all-day Kindergarten and a proposal to expand universal preschool to all low-income California children), healthcare (expansion of Medi-Cal eligibility and benefits, a proposal to create a single-payer system for prescription drugs), education, poverty, homelessness, expanded paid family leave, water safety, and other issues.
Furloughed federal workers missed their first paychecks today, as the government shutdown reached 21 days. CNN reports 77 effects of the shutdown, including lack of funding for food programs, healthcare, and other services for Native American tribes, damage to National Parks, loss of financial aid to mass transit systems in many US cities, cessation of routine food safety screenings by the Food and Drug Administration, potential delay of new research projects funded by the National Science Foundation and other agencies, pause on investigations of environmental hazards by the Environmental Protection Agency and of fatal crashes by the National Transportation Safety Board, a growing backlog of immigration cases, and mounting financial strain for furloughed federal workers and contractors. Food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC face benefit cuts if the shutdown drags on, with WIC funding likely to run out by the end of January and funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program likely to be curtailed in February if the shutdown is still ongoing.
Next week, 30,000 public school teachers from 900 public schools in Los Angeles are expected to go on strike. Mother Jones reports that "contract negotiations between the Los Angeles Unified School District and the city's teachers union have stalled. Teachers have called for higher pay and more resources, and their union has cried foul over what it views as a disinvestment in public schools. The district has offered to raise teachers' salaries by 6 percent over two years and include $105 million toward hiring new staff, the Los Angeles Times reported. But that hasn't been enough for the union. "I have taught in Compton and at Crenshaw High School. I have been in my own children's classrooms. And I have visited hundreds of other schools. There is wonderful promise in the students at all of our schools," United Teachers of Los Angeles president Alex Caputo-Pearl wrote in the Times this week. "But although they are surrounded by wealth, students across the city are not getting what they deserve."
New research from the University of Southern California finds that teenagers living in areas where e-cigarette and tobacco sales are more strictly regulated (for example, retailers pay annual license fees to cover compliance checks and face fines or revoked licenses if they sell to underage children) are one-third less likely to try cigarettes and e-cigarettes than those living in areas with looser regulations.

Mixed Start to the Week

Hi Amy, I'm just catching up on blogs after months buried in textbooks. I'm glad your move went well, even with the internet hassle! I'm really interested in something you say in this post - Wriggles becomes more dependent on salbutamol during a bad reflux patch? I'm intrigued and wondering if this is a link with Adam that I might have overlooked a bit. He's got silent reflux and asthman and is constantly on salbutamol....food for thought.....ReplyDelete
Oh I know exactly what it's like to be trapped in hospital on a sunny day! Really feel for you both, but I'm always glad to hear about tonsillectomies, it seems to be a very useless bit of bodily kit, and the health of all my children, special needs and not, improved out of all recognition once the pesky tonsils had gone :) Hope you get the same result xxReplyDelete

One of the many great things about the movie is the soundtrack. Last year, I searched high and low to try to find it for Francine. I wasn't able to buy the Christmas Vacation sound track for her, so I did the next best thing. Using a little bit of creative sound recording from the DVD as well as purchases made of albums and single song downloads from iTunes, I recreated it (and added in my own little touches -- either favourites or music from other Christmas shows we enjoyed watching over the years, such as Lethal Weapon, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas)
Here's the cover I created for the CD:
And here's the lineup of tracks on the CD:
- 1. Christmas Vacation (Cartoon Version) by Mavis Staples
- 2. Jingle Bell rock by Bobby Helms
- 3. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas by Bing Crosby
- 4. ("Something Really Nice" - Cousin Eddy)
- 5. Here Comes Santa Claus by Gene Autry
- 6. ("The Shitter Was Full" - Cousin Eddy)
- 7. Hey Santa Claus by The Moonrays
- 8. That Spirit of Christmas by Ray Charles
- 9. ("It is Goooood" - Cousin Eddy)
- 10. Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby
- 11. Mister Grinch by Thurle Ravensroft
- 12. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Bare Naked Ladies
- 13. Ave Maria by Jenifer Mclaren
- 14. Let It Snow by Diana Krall
- 15. A Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives
- 16. Christmas Time Is Here by Vince Guaraldi
Of course, I realize that I'm violating Osbasso's theme for this week, the Christmas Tree themed HNT. I figured my Christmas Vacation themed post might be enough (given that I'm posing as Clark Griswold in the photo and the Griswold Family Christmas Tree is a huge part of the movie), but to keep completely in the spirit of things, and to give those seeking a little HNT skin thrill, I'll drag out a few ghosts from Christmases Past . . .
My First HNT Christmas picture from 2005 called "Bare Naked For The Holidays" - a reflection of myself in an ornament on the tree in our basement rec room. See original post here.
And the next one you'll have to click on to view -- From Dec 14, 2006 - "Francine's Christmas Fantasy" - me posing in nothing but a tool-belt beside the Christmas Tree in our living room. See original post here.

Factors to Consider when Choosing an Air Conditioning Repair Contractor
Air conditioners serve the purpose of keeping your house at a moderate temperature during the summer. You will be comfortable in your home if you are able to maintain a constant temperature and humidity in all seasons. You should not worry too much when your air conditioning system fails to function normally. The reason why air condition repair contractors exist is to ensure that your system is functioning normally. Do not settle on the first contractor just because they claim to be better than others. Before you hire the services of a particular person, ensure that you have cross-checked the following factors.
Experience is the first factor that you should keep in mind. An experienced person is better than one who only has the skills for the job but no experience. A person who has been in the market for several years has the ability to deal with any problem facing your heating and cooling system.
Insurance is one of the most important factors when it comes to choosing the best expert for the job. A repair person might destroy appliances and objects during the repair process. It is also normal to get the person hurt. The advantage of hiring an insured contractor is that in case of any damage or injury, the insurance company is responsible for taking care of all the costs.
You should also ensure that the contractor you want to hire has a certificate to verify that they ae allowed to operate in your area. Choosing an uncertified person is taking a great risk that might cost you.
The only person who you should hire is one who acts professionally. A clean and organized contractor who observes time and carries everything that they need to the working station should be given the first priority. In case the person does not show any level of professionalism, you need to think of looking for another one.
Check whether the person you are looking forward to hire is legitimate. A license helps to determine who is qualified for the job and who is not. A legitimate repair expert is more likely to do a quality job that one who does not have a license.
You should also consult the amount of money the contractor charges for their services. Look for several contractors, ask their rates and choose one who charges reasonably. The expert who you should employ is one who fits in your budget. Ensure that the amount the contractor charges matches the quality of their work.
You need to find a person who fits in the above description and one who you can trust with your system.
